I would like to FINALLY see the Noob Saibot is Bi-Han problem ACTUALLY result in some interaction betwee him and Scorpion. Hopefully that can replace his rivalry with New Sub. Imagine a new subplot of Scorpion and Sub-Zero working TOGETHER to cleanse Noob Saibot's soul to either save him or end him permenantly. Meanwhile they also have to deal with a troublesome sworn allegiance to Raiden alongside Earth's champions. Everyone realizes that Raiden has gone Dark so they plot with Fujin to save/replace him as well. Perhaps they need the aid of Netherrealms new leaders to keep Raiden from making things even worse. Sareena acts as a liason between Earth and Netherrealm forces since she has a past with the Sub-Zero brothers and decides to aid Scorpion and Sub-Zero in returning Noob Saibot to the man he once was or freeing him from his darkness if that proves impossible. She's got a backup Sub-Zero brother lined up for her romantic interest anyway, lol.

Aside from that, I feel like a lot of roster issues could be solved with Premium Skins/Extra Variations for certain characters. Like SOOOO many problems. I think I read somewhere that the Devs said they won't be going this route like they did for Injustice 2 but they should really reconsider.

Examples:

Cassie Cage is on main roster. Her two starting variants are one inspired to be more like her dad but with her own twists (green shadow moves, nutcracker, flashier normals and combos). Other variant is more like mom with energy rings, leg grab, maybe some other acrobatic grapples/counters (like Cammy or Blue Mary). Custom variation lets you mix things up OR have custom specific moves to make her more original instead of just copying her parents. DLC premium skins for Johnny and Sonya with their more classic movesets.

Takeda on main roster with Ronin style Variant and a mix of Lasher/Shirai Ryu for the other. DLC Kenshi Skin with classic Moveset.

Jaqui on roster but revamped to play more her dad but with her own twists involving her tech gauntlets. DLC classic Jax.

Kung Jin on roster but revamped so most of his moves are more like Kung Lao with Bow/Staff limited to specials and some variant altered normals. DLC Kung Lao with Hat Moves/Normals replacing Bow/Staff.

Kano's Son with Commando and Cutthroat inspired variances. DLC classic Kano.

Tri-Borg type character starting with Cyrax/Sektor variants. Custom allows you to mix these and either use custom specific moves to create Cyber Smoke/Sub-Zero and have them as DLC for True Skin/Variants.

Other examples could go on awhile. If done RIGHT it could free up sooo much space for deserving characters and 3d characters that could be great if done better so they don't all suck. Mostly think Havik, Sareena, Fujin, Li Mei, and Drahmin have the most potential. Others could be premium skin/variants like Frost (Sub) OR hell I never liked him but Mavado if revamped like Takeda's Lasher/Shirai Ryu variant, he could be Takeda's new main enemy so them sharing some stuff could play well story wise.

I could go on but I've done so too long as is...

Yeah, not going to happen and would be silly anyway. They just need to stop listening to fans who want every single character in the game. Let Johhny Cage, Sonya, Jax, Kenshi just out of the playable roster for once.

The roster doesn't matter too much, as long as:

1. Sub-Zero is in it.

2. Not sure how to word this, so I'll type it all out completely. I thought putting Liu Kang, Kung Lao, and Kitana all in MKX was kinda crappy. It was weird that they included them basically as aged versions of themselves -- at least of LK and KL -- when their characters died in MK9. Made no sense. I want the characters in the game to make sense story-wise, I guess.

3. NO FUCKING GUEST CHARACTERS .... but this is a "realistic" thread, and NRS is in it for the money, so nevermind.

I like part of this idea. DLC variations that come from other connected characters makes a lot of sense for a variety of reasons.

However, I wouldn’t want those variations to come standard for each character. Cassie, Takeda, Kung Jin, Jaqui, and others should be oriented toward their own characters on the base roster. Build their own move lists that keep them as their own characters first and foremost. Using them as avatars for other characters not in the game, to me, takes a bit away from them and almost makes them seem like lesser substitutions for those missing characters.

However, as DLC? As additional variations that come after their base characters? I think that those could be fun add-ons for already completed characters to act as a sort of homage to others. I don’t want Cassie to start out as the Cage/Sonya wannabe, but I do think it’d be cool if in addition to her uniquely Cassie variations she starts with, she also got a Cage and or Sonya variation later.

Maybe that seems like a small distinction, but I think characters should be who they are first and then have the fun throwbacks later.

Only character I’d skirt this opinion on is Noob. If this is going to be a battle through time, then he should have his own unique Bi Han Sub-Zero variation to start that doesn’t play like Quai Liang Sub-Zero.

After doing some more thinking, I actually want Sektor and Kano to get some emphasis with the time-bending story. If Kano does have some sort of offspring, I'd like them to be an enemy of Kano's. An absentee father with sociopathic tendencies -- it makes sense. They could potentially be Red Dragon as opposed to Black Dragon. I'd like for Kano's offspring to defeat Kano in one of the timelines, but instead of killing him, turns him over to the Red Dragon -- which I would have run by Sektor. This leads to the automation of Kano in this timeline, but Kano's devious nature allows him to retain his individuality, and he plans to get revenge against his child for betraying him.

i want kreate a fighter back with more customizing options as well as fatality options. none of that mka kreate a fatality garbage . also bring back one buton fatalities. if you all remember in mk trilogy and knew the code you can do it

My Top Five Characters:

My Top Hopes for MK11:

To keep it simple I'm going to stick with characters I don't think are guaranteed:

1) Frost - I would settle for her being an alternate Sub-Zero skin, but I'd like to see her have a meaningful role in the story as well.

2) Fujin

3&4) Sektor & Cyrax - Triborg was a cool concept, but I'd like to see these guys make an actual appearance again, with their MK9 human appearances available as alternate skins.

5) Mileena - Her role in MKX was the first time I really found her interesting so I really hope she doesn't stay dead. Her tower ending does provide a way to bring her back. Something I think could be interesting is if she became more of an anti-hero, somewhat reversing the positions of her and Kitana from the original timeline since Kitana is clearly evil now.

From least favorite to most favorite, excluding the obvious ...

5. Kobra

4. Havik

3. Kabal

2. Smoke

1. Fujin

I would like to add a few honorable mentions: Rain, Nightwolf, & Stryker... :P
