It makes sense if you think about the connection to time Kronika is close to Chronicles and the sand in the hourglass scene was flowing UPWARD meaning the timeline shenanigans are a foot but this all feels very convenient and Alex Jones tin foil hatty...

Personally, I like the name as either Chrono or Khrono which means time.

It's also rumored to be Oracle.

I prefer Kronika. It's sexy.

Oracle screams codename to me. I doubt it makes the final game. And Kronika is pretty dope, actually.

The Oracle sounds fine to me, it has that "mystical" aura to it.
Kronika... Chronos, kinda cliché (and kinda sounds like a beer brand more than a fighting game's boss)

...and Oracle isn’t? Haha.

I've been saying since the MK9 time fracture that we need an Elder God of Time to come "fix" things. I was hoping for a male shao kahn type (Kronos) But it still looks like my wish came true. kronika is pretty cool name, but I'd also be fine with Oracle. (orakle?) lol

The question remains tho... is this Kronika the woman from jade's ending? or is that a totally different person? The rumored Dream Goddess?

I seen your sig in your profile and I cared to notice that shao khans reserve outfit actually looks exactly like reiko's outfit.

Asinine (while I get the translation).

If Kronika end up being the real name, then it would be stupid as fuck.

What about using the Japanese word for time?
Something like Jikan or Jikanjin?

This is the same franchise that has characters named Reptile (a reptilian who is green), Sub-Zero and Frost (cryomancers), Triborg (three cyborgs), Havik (because he's chaotic), Skarlet (because she's red), Tremor (because he can cause earthquakes). The naming conventions have never exactly been clever.

Ya gotta be honest sounds like something a 10 year old made up.

Noob.
Kobra.
Blaze.
Frost.
Kotal.
Meat.
Triborg.

Must I continue?

Honestly I would main a character named Kronika because... I have the mind of a 12 year old. The only way to make it more appealing is fitting "69" in there somewhere

Cobra, Blaze, Frost and Meat are nouns. Kotal Kahn, Noob Saibot and Triborg are not (they're just made up).

All of those you named are code names, they have a real name (Syzoth, Kuai Liang, Bi-Han, Hanzo Hasashi, etc)


Gods usually have no code names, so if the goddess of time ends up be named Khronika it would even more stupid than the usually stupid Mk names, imo.

It's basically a feminine named based on time. I don't see what the big issue is -- it explains her pretty perfectly. The only other suggestions I can come up with are something meaning "time" in different languages. "Hora" is Spanish, but you can hear the jokes now. Maybe Kora? Is that too close to Kira? In Arabic it seems to be "Zaman." Kaman or something could work, but it's still just made up jibberish, really. Kronika works fine.

Oracle or even Orakle sounds better to me than Kronika, which sounds like the name of nu-metal band from 2002.

The name doesn't bother me. I am a little bit disappointed that she looks like D'Vorah only with other colours.

Kronika sounds like the kind of character who uses the power of dank nugs to incapacitate her opponents and set them up for juggles/combos...which is something I wouldn't put past Boon to implement.

Oracle is already a Warner Bros. property, and it's been used in so much. I think of the soothsayer in The Matrix.
