Mileena is quite popular and her popularity got a rather.big boost with MKX. Personally, I think ever MK game.should have the playable cast of MK1/2.

As for picking up 3D characters over Mileena, I am really not into bringing those rejects over a classic. I don't understand some of the demands. Yeah I understand some people got into MK through the 3D games and all. But I have seen requests of Dairou people... Dairou!!! Hotaru!!!

I'd take Mileena over any 3D character with the exception of Kenshi. I also think Sareena should have been in this more than Skarlet.

Of course you do, you have the mindset of a triliogy cock sucker/ kasual no offense. MK has one of the worst fanbase ever, storylines have been shit for awhile because you guys complain about some stupid character missing one game if thats the case why even kill the dumb broad off in the first place LMAO. This is why MK is a joke. the newer characters is hated on and never given a chance besides cassie, you guys shit on the 3D era constantly. MK needs to have a healthy balance of characters from all eras not the same boring fucks you guys want everygame. Yes I would pick a nitara, havik or drahmin, even the kollector anyday over a mileena. Why? They have a unique design, cool backstories and have so much untapped potential and appeal that will never get reached why? Because WB rather market these stupid guest or pull the dumb nostalgia card to bring everyone back from MK 1-3 , I don't hate mileena, but she is extremely overrated, other not as popular as some of you claim.

Oh instead of writing a hate message, why don't excercise, go for a run or read a book to get off the heat.

Nitara ? Cool backstory ? You love bed times vampire story to sleep ?

Not no hate message, it's a reality check. The same way you have hatred and spew towards the 3D era is the same you energy you get back. A goth vampire, is way more cooler than some dumb tarkatan hybrid that gets beat up by half of the MK cast. Thank you I'll take your advice ☺ ???? ????

I will agree with one part of Chris's ranting... MK was headed into a positive direction with MKDA and MKD.

I think it began falling apart with MKA's release and the whole MK9 reboot just butt fucked it to shit. Time travel is shitty writing. And by God, they did it AGAIN in MK11!!!! Now this franchise has become one of those multiverse games.

While I don't think the new characters in the 3D era can compare to the originals from MK1 - MK2 (I don't even care for MK3's newcomers to be honest), I still like Li Mei, Drahmin, Frost, Bo Rai Cho, Kenshi, Dairou, Havik, and Hotaru. That's about it; the rest were quite forgettable.

For me it's the fact Mileena occasionally reminds me of a female form of Scorpion (like Boon said), yet still be different. They share that kind of psyche, although I can't put my finger on it (so I see why some say they're alike). They should still be seen as divided as they don't have much in common, besides aspects of their disposition. Scorpion's not as deranged.

Is it really a coincidence that the secret male ninja was a green Reptile in MK1 and the new secret female ninja in MK2 was a green Jade?

I get it, you think what if Reptile and Jade were introduced as a different colour (which would be ludicrous). This would of been a disaster way back but I guess it all comes down to using different hue to identify alternate costumes. Could say the same, is it coincidence that the secret male ninja was a grey Smoke in MK2 and the secret female ninja in MKT was a grey Khameleon (but translucent). It was probably just fate.

But Chris is right though. The direction of the story and character development has gone downhill. Players don't want to give new characters and 3D characters a chance to shine like the legacy characters did. That's why the MK community is quick to judge 1st site.

When I ask the community what's wrong with Kobra as a character? "he's a rip off version of ken"

He fights nothing like Ken, He doesn't dress like ken. He's alignment is different to ken's, not releasing characters get copied all the time in fighting games.

Although his face is the same as Ken's. What can the MK developers do about this. Give him a new haircut, shave the sides, give him a stubble beard, Use the alt costume with the hoodie as default, add onto to his story that he, maybe working for the red dragon undercover. But no:

Hater: Arrrr don'tt ever put that guy in any mk game he sucks. arrrhhh

...im like shut the ffffark up man. Most of the mk community, lack no vision, no imagination. Just pisses me off that we have this trend of love/hate and idolizing main characters only.

Only an idiot would say Kobra was a Ken rip off. He was OBVIOUSLY a throw back to Karate Kid's baddy from Cobra Kai. I mean, fuck, look at his name. COBRA. Look at the logo. Stupid SF fanboys would be the only ones to make a connection to Ken.

Nobody here is arguing with Chris about the story. This was about Mileena's popularity. Chris just went off into wild tangents. What does the current story have to do with Mileena and her popularity in the old games (which translate into her current fan base)? Nothing.

I think Vogel did tons better story in the 3D games than MK9-MK11... Tons. In fact the best elements of MK9-11 are inherited from the stuff he made in the 3D games.

He also gave much more depth to the realms and the backgrounds of them.

But the 3D characters were junk. Dairou was very forgettable junk. Hotaru was done for the sake of having an order releam representative and he is bland as hell. Crap design. Crap name.

Kobra ? Ken is such a lame design but yeah he wasn't Ken. He was a blond in karate robs. Crap special moves. Nitara is made by a 10 years old child. A vampire that fights with the worst dress/design I have ever seen.

It might have been the technology and how limited it was that these characters had no potential of being any good, but still they are hot trash. And so that you know, none of the newcomers in MK11 is any different. Sure they look and play better than any 3D new comer ( sans Kenshi + a few others) but they are forgettable.

The first two games defined the series, had the best cast and richest in story/backgrounds. Trying to implement the 3D games characters again would require heavy redesigns and retcons and then you would just go crazy because you know... Retcons.

Edit: Bad taste is sooo common in the community people are asking for MK Annihilation Sindel and Mileena customes.

You state Kenshi was a good 3D character. That's because he was carried over to MK9 and MKX with cinematic appearances, to see it through. Thats why your giving him wins, because you've seen more than any other 3D character. He wasn't in those games, you wouldn't be mentioning him like the few others.

Fujin for example in MK4? Lets be real, its the least popular title out of the series because of many factors. MKX he was NPC and look at him now in MK11 aftermath. Everybody was fanboying off him, because they saw potential.

This is my point in the community. We don't show the same passion and energy towards characters like other fighting games. Its embarrassing. I completely agree that some of the 3D characters were poorly made in the game. Does that mean we shouldn't improve them in the future?

Kenshi was one of boons boy toys, so he got favorable treatment that the other 3D era characters didn't get, from the appearance from MKD-9-X. Kenshi nothing more than a keenau reeves knock off, I never liked kenshi, such an overrated character. Part of the problem is Boon has poisoned the fanbase mindset, from the constant trolling, conditioning the fanbase to hate anything that's not from the first three games, shoving certain characters down the fanbase throats etc. Not to mention ever since WB acquired MK from midway it hasn't been the same since.

I loved Kenshi's background story, his look, all of it... until I saw he was "force sensitive" and an obvious replacement for Ermac. But as I played him, through MKDA and MKD he grew on me. I know I'm not the only one who felt this way because MANY people used Kenshi in online Kombat in MKD. It's no surprise he came into MK9 and then MKX. You may not like him, but it's obvious others did. It's not just an Ed Boon thing.

I still think the MKD characters (some of them) can become really good characters if they're given the same attention other characters are. The problem becomes "how do we get them genuinely involved with the story" without shoehorning them in just for the sake of having them in. I really, really thought we'd get Havik at some point because of Noob's MK9 ending...

That's another point of contention among the fanbase, when characters have similar powers or are derivitives of others.

Fujin in MK4 got a lot of flak as an Ermac/Kung Lao ripoff. Li Mei, and Frost got the same treatment in DA.

Even in MK3, Cyrax was essentially robot Scorpion with his net, and being after Sub-Zero.

Reptile, Smoke, Noob, Jade were all derived from other characters, and look at them now how they've been differentiated n individualized.

Like said above, some fans just write characters off completely never wanting to see them again.

People complain out the ass, but rarely give any constructive criticism to rectify their perceived flaws.

Idk I just could never get into kenshi, I felt he was way to forced, even in MKX he has his own off spring talk about favoritism. But both of you guys make great points. But it all goes back to boon, he is too scared of trying a new formula so that's why he goes back to same ol we've been getting for years. Its reason why new characters don't return in the following game, look at Ferra Torr, Kung jin & Takeda. Its gonna happen to Kollector and Cetrion. You guys have to also understand the kasuals have infiltrated the MK community dividing up the fanbase even more. The MK fanbase is one of the most fickle fanbases ever. They're worst then the Genwunner Pokémon fans. On YouTube or Reddit, There is people that actually want more guest characters and less MK characters in a MK game. Talk about a slap in the face. I personally belive MKvsDC was one of the worst thing to happen to MK. It started this whole guest/crossover trend and brought soo many kasuals who are not even MK fans that made everything worse.

Kenshin was at least decent in the 3D games and had much better design than the rest of the cast. That's why he got into the MK9/X and got the next gen treatment.

There are trash you can't fix... MK4 Fujin is lame. MKM Fujin had much more interesting looks and design. Heck his MK11 version plays more of MKM than MK4.

Dairou, Darius, Hotaru and whatever shit we got in MLS and previously in MKDA look absolutely like trash when compared with the other characters in the cast of the same games. I compare them unfavorably with MKDA/MKD Kenshi not the other way around.

Liking trash characters is fine, but don't try to distort facts that Kenshi has more bigger popularity and deservedly so than characters like Nitara,Ashrah and Dairou.

Hold up, I agreed with everything you said until you compared nitara with dairou.Thats a no no no, Nitara is probably the most requested female character I will go as far to say is more requested than sareena(love them both) I never see nobody request dairou, darrius etc, and I don't think the fanbase wouldn't mind them coming back. But nitara has so much potential. Nitara has that mainstream popularity appeal, is that why she appeared in the animated movie? Or perhaps a role in the live action film? No i disagree Kenshi didn't have a better design than havik, drahmin, sareena,nitara,li mei, reiko but anyone else that I didn't list yea.

One thing that can be said for the current trilogy is it has replay value in a way that the older games do not. Mk9 is still great after nearly 10 years, the 3d era not so much outside of a handful of a few decent new characters and there's no reason to touch the 2d era at this point. MK9, X and 11 were all able to get over and stay over cause they work in a way that the 3d era didn't. 3d era was good but it wasn't great until Armageddon. If they decide to make MK12 though they will have to branch away from leaning on the 2d era though. As for Mileena she's easily the most unique looking character on the entire MK roster, and one of the best. Story line, Twitter comments and opinions aside, there's no reason she shouldn't be in MK11 or considered unique top quality character story telling. We could have done without lame characters like Jacqui, Rain, Kollector and Geras they fit well into the story angles but overall feel like MK DA, DEC and ARM era characters, lacking anything interesting.

This right here. Fujin was always a lame ass character and hasn't been even close to being done right until MK11, he's still a bit of a buster but at least he's fleshed out with personality in MK11, same thing with Rain, lame as hell in all previous games but works well in MK11. I feel if NRS wanted to they could take lame characters that aren't horrible like Shujinko, Taven, Stryker, Daegon, Hsu Hao and Li Mei and make them into something solid in MK11, they were able to do that with Rain, Jacqui, Fujin, Frost, etc so why not with those? Some are beyond hope like Kai, Jarek, Reiko, Kobra, Moloch, Meat, Drahmin, Darrius and many of the 3d era characters cause there's nothing or not much to their personality or design. There's also definetly some 3d era characters that were kindve lame in execution but have a solid base and character story that they could work wonders with for MK11 if they put in the time and took it serious: Havik, Hotaru, Ashrah, Sareena to name a few. Then a few that are downright badass if given a complete rework like Nitara and Kira.

No offense but that is total horse crap. The newer games have no replay value at all. After you beat the storyline whats next? Konquest mode absolutely shits on the chapter based storylines. People want to explore the MK universe not sit through some lame short cinematic story. Its about to be 2021 imagine konquest mode on the next gen console. Also unlocking characters use to be fun. Now its about unlocking gear parts from loopboxes. The mini games now can't compete with the chess, motor kombat. The only thing the newer games have done better is gameplay & presentation That's It!

The only replay value the newer games provide is the miserable online experience. Even that gets old real fast.

MK11 tries to force you to play to unlock all the damn customization options but all it does has pushed me away to other games. I paid for all this god damn shit so why force me to do stupid things like AI battles and other horse crap?

The one game, to me, that had the most replay value was MKD. That was largely in part because I could unlock anything I wanted via the Krypt, and getting koins was quite straight forward. I didn't have to jump through all these annoying hoops and shit. Now we have to dick around with collecting souls, gold, time crystals, this, and that, and goro's pubic hairs, blah blah blah fucking annoying.

The gameplay in the last 3 MK games is great and damn near flawless in MK11. The 3d era games were ok for their time, but didn't have the most appeal compared to other lesser franchises like Tekken and DOA. Even though MK wipes the floor on characters and story over Tekken/DOA the fighting mechanics weren't that great in the 3d era, though I loved Deadly Alliance and Armageddon all the same when they came out(not so much Deception as it was a rehash of DA). The 90s MK games were perfect for their time gameplay wise. I love when they added the story mode in Deception, and even the one in Armageddon was ok too, but let's be honest there was nothing special at all about those two games konquest modes other than it was something fresh for its time. MK Shaolin Monks shows that an MK game from that era can't stand on its own without the 1 on 1 kombat feature, SM was the worst MK game of that era easily and it's cause it lacked the traditional style matches. I prefer the high quality cinematic aspects of 9, X and 11 over the poorly done yet nice for their time konquest modes of 6 and 7. A conquest mode going forward?? Hell yes, that would be great! Take the cinematic aspects and mix it with a 3rd person adventure style game and MK is limitless. The current trilogy, especially 11 has perfect fighting mechanics and will continue to have replay value in 20 years, just like the 90s MK games did, the same can't be said for the 3d era. They were great in their time, and the best title from the 3d era Armageddon is still worth revisiting on occassion but only to play some of the 3d era characters that don't suck and aren't in the newer games.

Mk9 is still great after nearly 10 years, the 3d era not so much outside of a handful of a few decent new characters and there's no reason to touch the 2d era at this point. MK9, X and 11 were all able to get over and stay over cause they work in a way that the 3d era didn't. 3d era was good but it wasn't great until Armageddon. If they decide to make MK12 though they will have to branch away from leaning on the 2d era though. As for Mileena she's easily the most unique looking character on the entire MK roster, and one of the best. Story line, Twitter comments and opinions aside, there's no reason she shouldn't be in MK11 or considered unique top quality character story telling. We could have done without lame characters like Jacqui, Rain, Kollector and Geras they fit well into the story angles but overall feel like MK DA, DEC and ARM era characters, lacking anything interesting.

No offense but that is total horse crap. The newer games have no replay value at all. After you beat the storyline whats next? Konquest mode absolutely shits on the chapter based storylines. People want to explore the MK universe not sit through some lame short cinematic story. Its about to be 2021 imagine konquest mode on the next gen console. Also unlocking characters use to be fun. Now its about unlocking gear parts from loopboxes. The mini games now can't compete with the chess, motor kombat. The only thing the newer games have done better is gameplay & presentation That's It!

The gameplay in the last 3 MK games is great and damn near flawless in MK11. The 3d era games were ok for their time, but didn't have the most appeal compared to other lesser franchises like Tekken and DOA. Even though MK wipes the floor on characters and story over Tekken/DOA the fighting mechanics weren't that great in the 3d era, though I loved Deadly Alliance and Armageddon all the same when they came out(not so much Deception as it was a rehash of DA). The 90s MK games were perfect for their time gameplay wise. I love when they added the story mode in Deception, and even the one in Armageddon was ok too, but let's be honest there was nothing special at all about those two games konquest modes other than it was something fresh for its time. MK Shaolin Monks shows that an MK game from that era can't stand on its own without the 1 on 1 kombat feature, SM was the worst MK game of that era easily and it's cause it lacked the traditional style matches. I prefer the high quality cinematic aspects of 9, X and 11 over the poorly done yet nice for their time konquest modes of 6 and 7. A conquest mode going forward?? Hell yes, that would be great! Take the cinematic aspects and mix it with a 3rd person adventure style game and MK is limitless. The current trilogy, especially 11 has perfect fighting mechanics and will continue to have replay value in 20 years, just like the 90s MK games did, the same can't be said for the 3d era. They were great in their time, and the best title from the 3d era Armageddon is still worth revisiting on occassion but only to play some of the 3d era characters that don't suck and aren't in the newer games.

You are honestly the FIRST person I have ever seen not liking MKSM. I even met non-MK fans who binged that game hardcore in college. Not to say your opinion doesn't matter, but that game was very popular when it came out. MK Fans didn't appreciate the change in story elements, sure, but other than that even my damn brother (who is NOT a gamer by any means and is picky as fuck when it comes to the video games he did try out) loved playing it.
