Shao Kahn is a character I have a love/hate relationship with. Yeah, I know this isn't a "Yes" or "No" answer, but bear with me.
On one hand, he's a great boss. He kicked my ass so hard I felt it through the entire roster of MK characters. He was fast, cheap, brutal... but, most of all, he had CHARISMA. That booming voice, the taunts and insults, are legendary.
But he's been overexposed. From the awful movie to the cartoon to being the main boss in three MK games, he's overstayed his welcome. Making him a "regular" member of the cast since MK: Deception was a bad choice, stripping him of his mega-power and authority and making him must a touch guy.
If he was to return, he'd have to have one helluva return to the spotlight. Otherwise, I'm going to say "No." But you don't have to kill him. Make him a baddie in the background, always watching, orchestrating, backstabbing, and manipulating. Either make him super badass, or don't have him in at all.

No. They can't keep the same bad guy forever. His story arc is the invasion of Earth, and it is definitely over.

I disagree. Shao Kahn is a brilliant character with tons of potential. I don't think he's one to go down so easy and they should definitely flesh out his character some more. He strikes me as having the potential to be an incredibly complex character, the kind of villain that you really empathize with, even cheer for.

Hell no.

Hmm...not as a playable character.


About Me
The future seemed so bright.
But this thing turned out so evil,
I don’t know why I’m still surprised.
Even angels have their wicked schemes,
And you take that to new extremes.
But you’ll always be my hero,
Even though you lost your mind...

So Shao Kahn is a big NO
Next character is Darrius
I vote yes :)

No.
Darrius = poor storyline and poor character development. There's nothing special to him, basically a useless character, IMO.

Darrius = No
He's one of those poorly thought out roster fillers. Not interested in seeing him again ever.

My point in exact precision. If only they went with his Red Dragon story...Darrius = No

We all know where this thread is going, because it has been done before and in different ways.
Back to topic.....
NO! The only thing I like about the guy is that he has good specials. Other than that he's rotten.

I vote no. Darrius is pretty insignificant, and there are much better and more developed characters that need to return.

Turn on your light and they'll see you. Make a sound and they'll hear you. If you think it's scary being lost...
Just wait till you're found
