i agree. i only like fighting secret characters. finding and unlocking them to play, what's the point? it's just a waste of time.

Totaly agree,hey were boring all of them and i hope this time around some real secret players will be around....

Mortal Kombat is all about secrets, or at least it was until MK4 and MK:DA. Nobody really cared about the actual hidden fighter, the fun of it was finding them, the rumors, etc...

People used to not care if it was a cheap pallette swap, it was just the whole 'feel' of finding these fighters, as well as rumors of the ones to come. I could care less if it's cheap or not, I want this old 'secret' feeling back, but I doubt it will return...we'll all find out soon tho..

but u know what sucks now? Even if the secret characters are well hidden, someone can just pop their MK6 disc into a PC and crack the code to find all the scerets. Boon is gonna have to implement some kind of security feature to prevent this.

I liked the fact that you needed secret requirements to battle againsty the secret characters, and I wish that it did come back...

But I love the fact that now you can play as secret characters instead of just fighting against them. Why not have both?

Yeah you hit it right on Blade. And even if they had other people's moves they were mysterious. Look at Noob, he was just dark. What was his story? Then in MK3 he looked like Kano when you froze him. I did not like that Smoke and Noob were too much like Scorpion but it was fun finding them. Unlockable characters are fun but it is more fun finding characters to fight.

I agree but at the same time disagree with most of you.

I agree that most of the secret characters in MK up til now (except the unlockables in MK:DA) were worthless.

Although I disagree with those that would want to just fight them. I want to be able to use them and everything. I just want them to be full characters that is: bios, alternate outfits, fighting styles, weapons, fatalities, and endings. No more of these half-assed characters with one fighting style and no ending, etc.

I also disagree that the characters should be unlocked by some strange code or moment in time. I would much rather see them unlocked by merit and/or skill (like in MK:DA).

Even if secret characters have recycled styles and special moves, I think they can have great potential as far as gameplay is concerned. It might be possible for them to have styles that link together for style branch combos that can be incredibly effective; same with special moves.

But beyond that, they should have original fatalities, bios, and appearance. Also, I think you should have to defeat them before you can play as them.

i think that they should go back to the roots of hidden fighters, from mk1 and mk2, have it so the fighters got all fast speed, and what not like in those 2, then have it only playable if you beat the fighter, but have the difficulty the same no matter what is selected, no easy mode get the fighter, like have hiom normal or higher.

Im still trying to find ermac in mk1. Keep the rumour alive!

lol...I agree that the secret characters should be like those before them. That is the whole mystery of finding and fighting them. Not to mention just who or what were they exactly. I loved it, a true challenge. Yes you did have to do something remarkable to find them. That has always been the case. To get to the original secret character Reptile a double flawless, fatality on the pit and only when a special figure flyed by the moon would bring this guy out. (Arcade) And when you did find him you got your A$$ kicked because he was that tuff!!! Ah the good oh days.

Sojaofcrst Wrote: since, the dawn of MK1 secret characters have been nothing more than a combination of two or more characters' fighting techniques. i was extremely dissapointed with Blaze and Mokap in MK:DA. all they had was fighting styles from three different characters. they're special moves were also unoriginal imitations. whats worse, is that you didn't get an oppurtunity to fight against them. they had no super speed, no super strength, nothing! just recycled moves. at least MK1 and MK2 gave their characters super speed and/or projectile invincibility. AND i had the oppurtunity to actually fight against them...not as them. *sigh* well, I'm rambling now. if they ever consider doing what they did in MK:DA with their secret characters then it's just as well that they don't bother at all. my $0.02.

I sincerely agree with you. THis time the secret characters will be very unique. Hopefully.

Secret characters are always great to spice things up. Its just seems a little thrown together when u hav a guys with no natural talent and cloned moves and fighting styles. If yer gunna hav hidden character to fight and possibly unlock give them something unique like there own fighting styles and new weapons. blaze could've had like a flame sword and Mokap, was just gay. whoever thought of his concept should be slapped or even shot or stabbed, naw just slapped dont want to hav the feds after me. (murder is a crime in this country)

Secret characters,hmmm I said it before and i say it again.

why make them real secret i always play the game for the secrets,i just can`t help my self need to unlock everything the first day,think i`m not alone in this but until now i must agree with the rest the real secret characters until now were boring and a waste of to good time take the list

MK1 Reptile was just Scorpion and Sub zero
MK2 smoke was just Scorpion
MK2 Noob Saibot again just Scorpion
MK2 Jade was Kitana
MK3 Smoke was just a clone of Sektor like Cyrax
k he had his own moves but he was the same
MK3 had its nice secret characters Motaro and Shoa Khan.
UMK3 Ermac again a clone with different moves
UMK3 had its nice secret characters Motaro and Shoa Khan.
MKT Chameleon wel Kitana,Mileena and Jade all in one
MK4 Meat he suckt that bad that i cant even remember if he had its own moves yes or no
MK4 had its nice secret characters Noob,Sektor,Goro.
MKG cant remember
MKDA wel no Mokap was a clone from johnny and Blaze well yust dident liket him to Cinder allike
and hatet it that Moloch was not playebell.

I hope this will be done right in the next version as we will get real entertaining new characters for a change and that must include the bosses,but i want that everybody will get there own littel boss who you must defaeth to play with them

No offence but your typing can be a pain in the ass to read sometimes, you can get lost in the jumbled words sometimes.

Anyways secret characters have always been clones, but in the older games you had to do very specific things to fight against them. Now it's easy to play as Blaze and Mokap and they seriously suck ass. Didn't even have their own weapons.

The good thing about MKDA was the fact that you had to unlock half the character list by opening koffins in the krypt. Not like it was difficult but you had a limited number of characters to choose from before you could play as somebody like Rayden.

i know hellbound cant help it never got any lesons in englich so you trai then or can you tell me what i`m saying now without lessons

mortal kombat moet nieuwe vechterbazen iedereen hier die denkt dat het niet is kan mijn kont kussen

if you now you get a price
