We all want our favorite characters to return as playable characters in MKD, but there is a limit as to how many ninjas, dieties, etc. that should be in any game. What do you think is a good number for each of these types would be good for MKD? (Note: I know some characters fit in two or more types, if you want to list the characters per type to prevent confusion you can.)

Ninjas (Sub-Zero,Scorpion,Ermac)
Cyborgs (Cyrax, Smoke)
Dieties (Raiden, Fujin, Shinnok)
Non-human like: (Sheeva, Montaro, Nitara)
Female Fighters (Kitana, Mileena, Lie Mei)
Special Forces (Jax, Sonia, Kenshi)
Socerers (Shang Tsung, Quan Chi)
Monks (i.e. Liu Kang, Kung Lao)
Other Human types (Johnny Cage)


I'll go first...

Ninjas: 2 (Sub-Zero, Scorpion)
Cyborgs: 2 (Cyrax, Smoke)
Dieties: 2 (Raiden, Fujin if Ashrah is not a diety. Too many gods and it ends up Immortal Kombat.)
Non-Humans: 2 (A Vampire and a Shokan)
Female Fighters: 4 (Kitana, Sindel, Mileena, Frost)
Special Forces: 2 (Sonia, Kenshi)
Evil Sorcerers: 1 (Quan Chi or Shang Tsung, no need for both.)
Monks: 1 (Kung Lao, we go enough religion with the dieties grin )
Other Human types: 4 (Mavado, Nightwolf, etc.)

That makes 19 characters not counting the new boss and sub-boss. Bringing the total up to 21 characters in Arcade mode.

I think as long as they have decent stories, play good and don't all look exactly the same, there shouldn't be a limit.

Yea, there def shouldn't be a limit if they're all quality. Why would you want less choice of fighters?

Aye, I agree. As long as they have different styles/look, multiples are fine with me. Back in the MK-MKT day, they were multiples, but they can each be unique now.

I don't think female fighters should be a category. If it were up to me, there would be almost an equal amount of male and female fighters.

This is just like all the other threads that asked the same question...and yet again here is my two cents. *clears his throat* Well, we are in the age of diversity. In this age all the ninjas can come back and we can even have more, and they'll all look different and have different moves. So there is no such thing as too many of a certain type of character IMO. So bring them all on damn it....ALL of them.

Guys calm down, this is only a rhetorical question! You must know that there is no way that all MK characters are going to return as playable characters and keep the stories straight. Do you really want four or more gods as characters? Or a small army of ninjas? The creators will need to place some limits and I was just wondering as to where the actual players of Mortal Kombat were willing or wanting to put the limits. Shessssh!

In regards to female fighters being a separate type, I am old school. I remember when everyone had a fit when we found out the guy from Metroid was a gal. Female fighters have almost always been a minority and considered their own type. I know, I know they are not as much as a minority in games as other groups but for some stupid reasons they are considered special. Just check other posts 'Who is your favorite female fighter', 'Which female fighter is the hottest' etc. Female fighters are a type all their own, sad but true. If this makes you unhappy then don't list that type in your response. Use just the others, make your own types or do nothing. The choice is yours.
