Those portal guard things have always intrigued me. Frankly, I would love to see them as a sub-boss/boss. There's so many ways to fit them into the story.

Cool idea, but what about the Masked Guard? The one from MKSM....or the Executioner from Kahn's army?

I think they would be great as kind of bonus fights, equivalent to where a "Test Your Might" sequence could be inserted.

I was actually thinking about that, having unplayable characters you have to fight along the battle plan/whatever it's called now. Like a shaolin monk, courtyard guard or a shadow priest or something.

Like these guys.

i always thought those portal guards were pretty cool, it would be cool to see them back

I have ALWAYS wanted to have a really scary looking Shadow Priest play the Sub Boss. Also having him be "unplayable" or possible a "secret player" so that it can have the classic MK feeling to it.

But yea, bring a Shadow Priest! ^_^

I always liked the idea of having unplayable characters. Such as Jade, Smoke & Noob from MK2. It seemed to make the character more elusive and mysterious.

i have always liked the design of the guards at the courtyard, i think one of them as a character or sub boss would be really cool.

also it would be cool if between fights (like every 2 or 3)traveling from one realm to another you fought one of these guys or some other sub boss, to gain entrance to that realm, something like that so that there isnt just one sub-boss, and one boss, i like the idea of reaching check marks, you reach a certain realm and if you dont clear that realm you can start at the beginning of that realm instead of at the beginning of the tower, and thus allowing the tower to be significantly taller, and intertwining alot more story into each fight

Boss? NO
Sub-boss? Maybe... but that'd mean our main boss is probably some shmuck we've seen before.

Playable character? I'm all for it as long as they don't gay him up with a sorry-assed story and lame moves.
