Let's pretend that Kratos and/or Freddy Krueger could be involved in the Story Mode. How would events have played out if either one of them were there to intervene?
---Kratos
Kratos could come into the picture as early as the MK1 period, as his biography states he was summoned and put under a spell by Shao Kahn; ripped from his own world after Shao sacrificed his vanguard to take Kratos and enslave him. The spell by itself could not contain the God of War, Kratos soon regained his free will and vowed to destroy the Konquerer who arrogantly thought could control him.
-
There is no definite answer in his biography as to when Shao Kahn did this, so you could have Kratos enter the MK universe at either MK1, II, or 3. Judging by Kratos' weapons, he was taken from his world during the God of War III period. But when exactly in the events of God of War III isn't certain.
---Freddy Krueger
According to Frederick's biography, he took action when Shao Kahn was stealing Earthrealm's souls; souls Freddy considered his own, which likely means during the invasion of Earthrealm. Freddy battled the Emperor in the Dream Realm but Kahn was too strong and pulled Krueger out of the Dream Realm. This could've transpired before Kabal's unfortunate encounter with Kintaro or afterwards.
----------
So how do you think the events of the Story Mode would have played out if either one or both of them were there to interfere with the events? Could make for an interesting scenario. Both of them are after Shao Kahn, so their motives and reason for being there are tied to him. You could have the events of MK9 be drastically altered through the involvement of Kratos and/or Freddy, or you could have their roles could be minor and relatively impactless to the story.
Share your ideas for how the events of MK9 could have gone if Freddy Krueger and/or Kratos were there to intervene.

First of all, I would lose SO MUCH respect for NRS and be severely disappointed in them. It would be like a knife in the thigh.
However, l will join your play-pretend game here.
Kratos:
After having taken his revenge by joining the Forces of Light against the emperor Shao Kahn, Raiden and Fujin thanks him and sends him home.
That's his Arcade ending and I think it is just fitting. The difference would be that Kratos' presence during the game would be recognized as canon and the other characters would know of him and probably mention him in future games. His name would be carved into the MK lore, so to speak.
Freddy:
Shao Kahn kills him. Permanently. And takes his soul, devouring it for it to never return again. Freddy would be erased from history like he never existed. Make this canon to the Nightmares on Elm Street lore as well.

I would cry.
I had made a thread a long time ago, asking what if future guest characters could make some sort of appearance in the game's story without really effecting it too badly.
Such as, they would have no significant role in the story, they could either die, mysteriously vanish, or just have their issues be solved and go away.
Unfortunately, I had been told that because in MK's universe, it can never happen, despite that I was merely having fun trying to see what characters could have a role in the story without having a significant role in it... It really didn't get that far.
But it wouldn't have hurt to see Kratos having his own chapter for the PS3 version... Even though, that would piss off a lot of people, I thought that would have been kind of interesting to see Kratos' own chapter that wasn't really apart of this game's story.. Like if it was a DLC story. There yeah.

It would rule, just because of the delicious nerdrage it would inspire. See some of the posts above mine for refrerence. :P
But for Kratos, I'd say Kahn brings him in as a ringer for Outworld during MK2, because that's when they're in full on cheat mode. If Kratos won MK1, it would count as a victory for Earthrealm, and by MK3 they just said fuck it and invaded with guns anyway, so one extra guy wouldn't make that much difference.
I'd say he'd probably do some damage to our side while being forced to fight for Kahn, but once he broke free he'd seriously wreck shop on the Outworlders. He hates being used and controlled more than anything, and since it happens just about everyday he's pretty pissed off. But you have to send him home before he can face Kahn, because that's Liu's fight.
So he whoops on the good guys, whoops on the bad guys, then Raiden beats him (Kratos fanboys cry at this point) and tells him get out of his sight and back to his own time while he still can. Kratos has no love for this new world anyway, so he pisses off through a portal back to Ancient Greece. That could work.
Freddy, who knows, because the concept is so out there to begin with. I would just go with the Kahn/Nightwolf shenanigans from his arcade story.
Maybe have him kill a beloved MK character just to piss people off.

OR....I just thought of a way to troll all 3 fanbases (MK, GOW, NOES) at once:
During the afrorementioned events, Sektor is watching from the shadows. He sees great potential in these unfamiliar new warriors....
Meet the newest members of the Lin Kuei: Cyber-Freddy and Cyber-Kratos.

Hey, I didn't start out here as a troll. But that's all I ever seem to get back here, so when in Rome...
Besides, if you can't see the inherent humor in Cyber-Freddy Kreuger as MK champion, I don't know what to tell you. You take MK too seriously (not as bad as Razor, but still...)
My motto in life: if you can't laugh at yourself, I'm more than happy to do it for you.

No no, I see the humour. I don't think it's funny, but I can see where you were going with it. I just think it's sad to see you like this. You and Razor were some of the top lore informants on here, except you didn't have some of Razor's less charming traits. But I see you picked up some other negative traits now...
This site is generally not what it used to be.

I actually wouldn't mind if they were in Story mode. I like both of them, so I think it would be interesting to see how they interact with other characters.
How cool would it be to see Kratos standing by all the heroes fighting the Lin Kuei?
Or seeing Kratos fighting Sindel? He may have been able to stop the massacre.
Just a thought.

This is one of the most fantastic active threads out there today!
Considering the Lin Kuei warriors are often below the sub-zero, it should be something as cool as our Lin Kuei hero.
He could have just made it worse. He is reputed of killing everybody.
Frederick and Kratos should be thrown to MK vs. DC Universe!

You're probably right about Kratos killing everybody. He is known for that kind of thing. I just think it would be swell to see what he would say to the other fighters.

It wouldn't really make much sense to me with Kratos. Why would he all of a sudden drop his thrist for revenge against Zeus, which was his drive in the second and third GOW games, and focus on Shao Kahn? To be fair, he is in a new realm and he'd likely search for a way back, so defeating Shao Kahn seems like a plausible solution for him. But that's no reason to stop wanting revenge against his former enemy. The MK universe is just another obstacle for Kratos in his quest for vengance.
For Freddy, I think he may be able to fit in the whole scheme of things. I'm guessing he's kind of like Shang Tsung, in which he takes souls and maybe adds them to his power. Perhapse Shao Kahn would offer Freddy a job in place of the late Shang Tsung he disintigrated for Sindel's power boost, but that wouldn't make much sense because Freddy is immortal and he doesn't need to obligate himself to anyone. He was better off on his own. Like Kratos, Mortal Kombat is just taking time out of his regular activities.

Hmmm I don't know about that, but it would probably cause an implosion of MKO just like the announcement of Freddy Krueger as a playable character.
Not a single person was safe on that day.

It's just a forum, nothing serious were going to happen to anyone unless it was self-inflicted. I got mad that day, and yes, I threw around with alot of cusses, but that's all there was to it. If something like this would be announced, just take a couple of days off the forum and let matters settle down. Fans are always going to overreact when something they truly don't want to happen to their fandom. That's just part of what being a fan is.

A while back, I came up with a revised storyline for MK9 (if anyone wants to see it, just IM me) that involved Freddy and Kratos in story mode. Essentially what would of happened was that Kratos would've been part of the forces of light starting around the MK2 portion and Freddy would have been working for Shao Khan starting around the beginning of the MK3 portion. It wouldn't have changed much other than that Freddy (along with Skarlet, Rain, and Kano) would have played a role in Sindel's massacre (all Freddy would do is injured Kratos and Smoke then kill Kenshi).
