WOO HOO I'm your hundredth reply!!!

Anyhow, back to bussiness. (sorry this might be a bit LOOOOOOOOOOOONG.

I'd like to see rooftop arena in MK, that would just fit right in. And for the death trap the guy could be punched/kicked off the roof, splatter on the fround, and a car could run the blood over.

And for new characters I'd like Monster to be playable, and they could add that zebra guy too (you know the one with a tux from a concept art in MKDA) and a cat named Max, and maybe a vampire. And, I know its stupid, but I'd kinda wanna see...drum roll please...A STICKMAN...and a buncha animal characters...ohh and almost forgot God and The Devil...ha ha and I'd like to see stupid Spongebob lol that'd be HILARIOUS with a capital 'H'.

And here's something that BETTER happen, they better make it so you don't have to BUY every single KAK item...have I mentioned i've beaten Arcade 21 times and counting and I'm halfway finished konquest?

Thats it for now, folks ;)

Here is my list of characters that should make it to next gen...


Characters


-Frost

-Nitara

-Rain

-Noob-Sabot

-Shao-Kahn

-Sonya

-Quan-Chi

-Ermac

-Reptile

-Sub-Zero

Some fatality ideas for the characters


Frost---Fatality one-----She freezes her opponents feet so the opponent is stuck too the ground she then gets her daggers and stabs the opponent in the eyes...She then kick the opponents feet sending them too the floor then she jumps on their neck decapatating them she then pulls her daggers out from the opponents eyes she then holds the blood drenched daggers high in the air...


fatality two--------She gets out her daggers and continuesly stabs the opponents in the abdomen region she then slices open the opponents stomch freeze's it till the opponent explodes


Hara Kiri-----She freezes herself up to he waist throws her daggers up in the air both daggers impale her head she then helplessly bends over and her upper body snaps of from her legs...


Nitara-----Fatality one-----She gets her Karma and looks at them for a little while briskly walks up to the opponent and begins slicing her opponents neck from both sides until the opponent has been decapatated she then kneels next to the motionless body sticks her han through the wound grabs he neck bone tuggs three times and the opponents skeleton comes out.


fatality two------Nitara flies up really high in the air and flies down with a kick she hits the opponent in the gut the opponent screams in agony while the opponents guts are spilling out.


Hara kiri------Extends her fangs they turn a purple colour she bites her arm and has spasms on the floor till she explodes


Rain----Fatality one----Rain puts the point of his sword on the ground he then gives his sword an almighty kick which whips up a storm lightining bolts then continue to strike the opponent the opponent then starts wheezing and falls to the ground Rain then sticks his sword in the opponents stomch and the sword acts as a lightning rod.


fatality two---Rain jams the BLUNT side of his sword in the ground does something like a mind control orb move and then drops the opponents on the opponent on the sword therefore impaling them...


I'll do more later

I think the game should have create an arena mode. You could put in deathtraps wepons all that

The story line would be somthing like... Baraka finds a seacret temple. He finds a place in the temple were there is a message on the wall it says "were you stand lies a grate power. stand in this very spot with the head of a great champion and you will recive there gift." So Baraka heads off to find the champion of Mortal Kombat...Goro. He finds Goro standing on the balcony of Shao Kahn's fortress and slice. Later he returns to the temple and in a matter of seconds he grow taller powerfull. 4 arms and 4 blades. Soon he returns to Kahn's fortress and killed him. He soon gained total power over the realms.
The change will only be in MK 8

Yea, abusing the emoticons must stop here...
Skulls will follow.

Thanks Owen.

At the top of your post what you said was very pointless irritating and spam stop...

Hey by the way how do you get a higher ranking on this website

here's the people i think should make it to next-gen, and fatality concepts.

-Ermac
-Raiden
-Shinnok
-Nitara
-Sareena
-Sub-Zero
-Scorpion
-Kung Lao
-Noob Saibot
-Reptile
-Quan Chi


Ermac Fataltity - Ermac does his mystic float attack, and levitates the opponent in midair. He then telekinetic slams them on the floor, celing, both of the sides of the wall, then finally Ermac kicks the body making it explode into pieces.

Raiden Fatality- takes out his staff, and stabs it in the opponents stomach. He then jumps off the staff, and shoots electricty into the opponents mouth, making him explode.

Shinnok Fatality-he summons four fiends, all into four diffrent directions, and each fiend grabs a arm or leg. They then pull in diffrent directions, ripping the opponent into shreds.

Nitara Fatality- She throws her kama in the air, and then does her unicorn kick to propel her kama into the opponent. As the body falls, she drinks all the blood from the body.

Sareena- she turns into her beast form, and grabs the head and makes it explode. She then proples the body back in such a force that it explodes.

Sub-Zero Fatality- he freezes the body, and then freezes the ground, then throws ice shards into the opponent, killing them; as the body falls, it slips and breaks into pieces.

Scorpion Fatality- he takes off his mask, then propels himself on the opponent. He then rips open the chest with his hands, does his spear to pull out the heart, and does toasty on it.

Kung Lao Fataltity- he throws his hat, and it cuts off the opponents legs. As the body falls, the hat goes back towards Kung. He does his whirlwind kick, and propels the hat making the body diced into pieces.

Noob Saibot Fatality- he shrouds himself in mist, then you see a scythe appear on the screen. Noob then appears in front of the body, then slices them with the scythe so fast and so many times that the opponent dosen't notice it until it falls apart.

Reptile Fatality- he burns the body with acid, and as the skeletion is falling he rolls into it breaking it into pieces.

Quan Chi Fataltity- He summons a barrage of skulls to hit the opponent, and after about twenty the bodies explodes.

Those are some of my thoughts.

Hey you're new here read the link up I posted...To get a higher rank you need 75 dragon points they are hard to get but it is worth it...-owen-

I want a different Liu Kang look. I'm just not feelin the zombie look at all.He should get rid of it and get his human form back. He could beat the shit out of Shang Tsung and get his soul back or something. Get rid of the zombie completely, don't even mae it an alternate costume.

Excellent thread for Character specifics by Drifting_Ravage
Everything you’d like to see about a character...

Raiden

New Look
JAX007 Concepts
About a new Look for Raiden. I'd like to see what he looked like a few hundred years ago. Maybe an even more retro-combatic look is in order?..? Futhermore, what would he look like wearing more current attire? Raiden has only had like three significant changes this series...So I think the right hand example JAX007 gives - either modernizes him and or dates his current look effectlively.

Along with all that, the hat? I don't think he could be right without the hat...He would have to at least have it as an alt costume...If they were to take his hat away from him, they'd have to faze it out somehow..Make it is third alt or something.. And even so, his new primary would have to be so fuckin perfect anyway... So keep the hat Midway. The updates to the hat are quite good anyway I think.
=====ALT Costume---sorta:
Making Raiden look more "Godly" to our current generation of players is the toughy. Especially with all the people who don't believe in any God, religion wise now-days. "Mysticlly old" is a way I propose, almost as though he's out of place somewhat amongst the other players. Robes, Tunics, Rags, or even more "Animal" influenced clothing could be explained to us as sacrifices over the years to him. Kinda giving us a subtle insight as to sacrifices like: That's one of the things Gods do with the animals. He might even sport something that has an electic eel enscribed or stiched with-in a peice of his clothing or armor.

Now, don't get me wrong here, I still think Raiden should look very majestic and mystical, but the clothes he wears could have more purpose is all I'm sayin'.. I think alot of the reason some people don't like his Dark Raiden look is becuase of the fact that he "looks" more militant// too much like somthing an actual man might wear. He's a God, but he doesn't nessassarily look "Spiritual". He has on Armor....which is o.k., but I just think his clothing could be less human-typical. The whole Chess plate, shoulder pads ect...can go. There are other ways, he could look more aggressive than his normal state.

Ex:
1. Dark circles around his eyes,
2. black or burned fingertips: symbolizing the hostillity of the element he rules over..
3. The red lightning could be a nice "touch" for that--it should even circle around his body like the lightning did back in Mk1/2.
4. They could also make him obviously more pale. Just trying to provok a more pissed off God..Y'know?

6. A cool little effect I was just thinking about kinda resembles that of Ares in The God Of War. Speaking about his hair...Instead of a full head of firey hair like Ares had, Raidens hair could show in his alt costume, and slowly singe or burn-- of the red lightning during battle. BUT, since he is a god, it would "heal" (so to speak) itself as it singes, giving that cool white hair//red lightning contrast and making apearent that "I'm pissed off" vibe even while he stands still. Not the "Bun-and-Mullet" like his alt kinda makes him look. I hated the beads and the half robe, the whole thing only pissed me off...lol

7. One thing to toy with is maybe face paint or a tattoo of some sort. Maybe as he becomes more and more ruthless, or does more ungod-like things, a symbol of his taint can become more apparent. Some kind of ancient insigna relavant to the birth or death of a true God. Just a thought..

Move Ideas(new and or improved)

1. Lightning Shield- From the MkDa Opening vid- It should look virtually similar, and have the same effect. I think part of the rave about any character, is being able to use the things you see they are cabable of in animation or in film. It was a fantastic idea and we should be able to have fun using it..

2a. Lighting Blast- I feel like Raidens' lightning had the best overall effect between Mk1&2. It should return to that, just updated using the latest technology and 3D platforms.

Or

2b. He could throw the bolt differently. One way could be quick, kind of like Jaxs' wave blast back in Mk2. Instead, a bolt of lightning from the sky quickly blasts the opponent. A Pop-up or a simple shock to the opponent.

Or

2c. As I know I've expressed before, give Raiden that pop-up that either Rain or Nightwolf had...It used to erk me eveytime I saw that from them and not Raiden.

3. Teleport- I always wondered why Raidens teleport couldn't have an attack tied to it. Why not have his teleport shock the opponent breifly? The catch would be...well catching your opponent standing still. Otherwise it would simply perform as a teleport.

4. Body Shock- Simply put, it should remain his throw. An improvement on it could be a one handed shocker-and-throw that embodies his Mk1 and MkD throws.

Fatalities

Shocking Experience


I really like these ideas D_R...alot.
=====

1. "Shocking"- I like what they did with this fatality in the last 2 games. I think the only way to make them better or change them significantly would be to make them more realistic. More..."actual"-looking

2. "The Rath of God"- In this new fatality, Raiden performs a type of mini kata cinema summoning lighting through a kind of full armed -- circular manuver around himself. These look alot like what I mean...just different1:20 and 1:28 into the vid 1:06 into this vid

3. Puppet Master- Could show us the fatality Raiden performed on Shujinko in his MkDa ending. To where Raiden uses bolts of lighning to violently raise his opponent into the air...not to high, maybe 10-20ft from the ground..
In this cinema, you'll focus on what's happening to the "looser". Lots of crackling and popping...small peices of burned blood and flesh escape the body..ect.. Away from the focal point, but still clearly viewable, you see Raiden doing his thing to not only kill the opponent, but also keep the body suspended in the air...."Puppet Master".. This could be one of the only fatalities that explodes the opponent to end it, OR, he could slam the corpse into peices when he's done.== The ending angle not nessasarily on Raiden in his vicory pose, but from the ground towards Raiden, looking at the skeletal skull. Maybe even still bleeding from the eye(s)--other skeleton peices skattered about the immediate floor.




Agreed...
=====

Fighting Style
Nan Chuan
- I don't know martial arts styles well enough to sufficiently change this about him. But I didn't like alot about the style itself to tell the truth. It looked o.k. I guess, but I think Raiden should absolutely reek of "Mastery". Maybe his in-game fighting stance would teeder between a Nan Chuan type stance(Mk1-T essentially), to standing "Straight up" as to hint that "I've Mastered all...circles and straights"....The effect the two stances provok. Pai Mei:50sec is an example of the Straight up stance.

Raidens' style should be "sensibly odd", having a base, but not so definate in any one style. You should be able to tell "he made it up"....His stances should really only signify where/how he's comfortable standing to tell the truth.

I also don't think the stances should be so "stiff" or "strickened to" if that makes sense. I mean, at the beginning of a round there should be a "Ready Stance", but while you're playing and in motion, the stance(s) you recoup to should depend on the last hit delt or taken.... teedering between a "confident" stance, and a stance that sorts says "anticipate".

Weapon

I am one who, when weapons were introduced to Mk, didn't like Raidens at--all. I figured that, being the God of an element as destructive as Thunder and Lightning....wtf do you need any "weapon" for? Anyway, if he must have any weapon, it could be one of the following:

1. Staff of the Gods- It should be a particular staff, designed specificlly for Raiden. Maybe even an ensignia or special design on the staff...Not just a regular old, plain jane, wooden staff. Not "stylish", maybe just a staff forged of the steel of the Elder Gods' temple or something, a present to Raiden "long ago"....

More Staffs and such:

a. 3-sectional-staff
b. Wushu Double Headed Spear or something...It would make sense.

c. Wushu Red Tasseled Waxwood Spear". Same influence as #1 on the weapon..

Here's a couple short vids to show how I think he could look using some of the weapons I listed:
1. Staff vs Spear...
2. Three sectional Staff vs Nunchucku



Though I don't completly agree with Christopher Lambert, I do believe that he was the "best" voice technically. So something relative to his voice in future voice-overs is only reasonable. Raiden needs to sound like Chris in anything future...It just works.

Get-Up Animation
1. I did like the improvement that they made on this part of Raiden actually... The thing is...It was too much, and it was too "rapid". Instead, he could "manifest" up. Maybe it could hint to his victory pose but just so that it's not so dramatic in the future.

Victory Pose
1. His victory pose should resemble the #2 fatality I mentioned earlier. Just not punishing anybody. Maybe from the front angle and probably ending in the same fasion as he would have in all previous games... One, or both hands up to the sky, as though to be paying homage to a "higher" God than he. While the lightning struggles to remain in his control...we hear a very violent buzzing sound. In the end, one big *boom*. Somewhat symbolizing Thunder & Lighning....Perfect.

2. Why not this: 9sec Test

3. To add more to number 2 here: That 9 sec test but shorter, sharper, and with a more profound feeling to it. Probably 3sec long, it should have the violent crackle of thunder and lightning whenever he points his fingers and lightning is let shot out. But in the end...none other than his pose on the side of the Mk2 Arcade Machine and then he disapates in some cool lightning effect... Probably influenced by his early teleport effects(see sprite above), but I know there's better ways to show what I mean.."1(points and we hear crackle and thunder) - 2 (again, in a differnt direction) - 3 (again, but this ends the small kata and he dissapears from the screen) 1--2--3". There's enough time there and it's not too long.

4. Another victory "pose" could be that he does a little aggressive swirl of the hands/arms with a little step forwad, throw a little lightning to the ground, and then "jump" as if he's assending to heaven off screen.


Arena: "The House Of Raiden"
Comic Illustration 1

Comic Illustration 2

It could even feature the two "would-be abandoned servants of Raiden:
Wynd & Rayne. Maybe dipicted and named uniquely considering those elements are taken in Mk already. I have ideas for these two characters, just haven't gotten around to typing them out yet.


Storyline
1. Raiden should have more of(not nessasarily all of) his "Long Ago" instances exposed, exploited, and taken care of over the course of this next game or so. Along with his Probable confrontations with Fujin//The Elder Gods//Liu Kang(which might even make him evil for sure mind you, considering what he did to animate Liu...)//Shinnok//What affect he may have had on the Deadly Alliance(Shang Tsung and Quan Chi [are they dead because of the sacrifice? ect..] and vice versa.... "How they may have effected Raiden to make him act out of character for these last couple games")

And I feel, he should return to the side of good....at least eventually. Because the more experience one has about things of this nature happening to others in the future...the better a God//person you are further down the line. I think that's very important in anybodies stories actually. "Comprehension"//"What did you learn"; and having no problem sharing that information with the less experienced....future "champs and so on...So that we can see at least one of the cycles Raiden has endured to be respected as a God. I think it would cut out the rest of the disconcern for this character as well because his purpose becomes relatably evident as far as the kind of "work" he does to maintain that god status....
"This is what I go through...This is why I'm am a God...

More of what could happen with his story is that he could coincedentally become fond of the "Earths' New Champion". He could even "guide" the new character because that's just his nature...even in his discruntled state right now. It would be irony, but within the "realm" of his job description....~nice~

=======================================

Future ideas for Rain


Cotume ides:

In mortal kombat three Rain had the simple pallette swap look it didn't look to bad apart from the fact that practically every ninja had it...For years we waited then armageddon came out...And we first saw this render...









This look was very different I must admit but the problem with this is that Rain's cape makes him look to much like a super hero but he's not.I see Rain as a more devious backstabbing arrogent character and if they make his "Arrogant" side come out a bit more he could exede in next generation anywho...


This is why I prefer Rains alternate costume it still has a pallette swap look but only around the abdomen padding bits....








I think this would make a much better substitute for his super hero like primary costume he currently has.



Weapons:


When we saw the first Rain render for mortal kombat armageddon we saw that he had twin daggers now I was quite exited by this idea.But then armageddon came out and he had a storm sword now I for one do not think that Rain would really suit a sword he needs daggers such as...








This is an eygyptian dagger and it is...9 3/4" overall.



or this...








Which I think would be a good weapon because it looks very regal.


Story:

Alls that needs changing is the crap between him and edenia



his future bio:

Rain bio

Rain

Place of origin:Edenia

Allies:Tanya

Enemies:Shao Kahn,Sindel,Kitana.

Bio

Finding out the dismal truth about how my parents died at the hands of Shao Kahn I would be forever keeping a secret grudge against the sadistic emporer of outworld.I formed a secret alliance with Tanya.She wanted to become emporer of outworld but without me her task would prove to be very difficult.So if we both teamed up and destroyed the emporer we would achieve what we wanted to.

But Shao Kahn was very well guarded so this would be no easy task.Me and Tanya would have to wait for armageddon to take the emporer out.Another problem would be there is not only Tanya that is rooting for the posistion of emporer.There are many warriors that could easily beat Tanya but that is none of my concern.

As armageddon drew ever so closer I was anxious I couldnt wait to disembowel the dreaded emporer.

I then was approached by a mysterious figure I looked and it was my father it was only a hologram of course he told me about a secret weapon that was hidden within some ancient temple ruins.He also told me that me and my brothers Taven and Daegon had a weapon and we would have to defeat a fire spawn named Blaze to become the emporer of Edenia.This would occupy my mind on something else other than Shao Kahn.I ran to some tedious looking ruins and there it was my beautiful storm sword a little glimmer of hope shone in my eyes.Then a war cry of a shokan sounded armageddon had begun.

Alternate bio

I sprinted into battle seeing every mortal kombat fighter from Sindel to Quan-Chi.I had to make it look like I werent going for Shao Kahn which was extremely difficult for me.Jax came and went for a massive uppercut I ducked kicked him and then slashed him with my colossal sword.

At this point Shao Kahn had took out his wrath hammer hitting many without realising.Then an un-orthadox rumbling was happening then a weird temple arose with Blaze at the top.I felt a strange exhilarating feeling inside me I rushed to the top with an encounter I wouldnt forget.

1: Ok so my character is Doctor Kombat, i know the name sounds dorky, but ii couldnt think of another name, but i didd name him doctor for a good reason, he is the creator of the androids, Cyrax, and Sektor.
He has created an electronic heart like machine that will make him emortal. As i spoke of in a previous post, after all the original Characters have died Shang-sue would come back and start MK again 50,000 years in the future, and be defeated by an even more evil and powerful character, Doctor Kombat is that Character.
He will (for game play) have a remote for special moves, that with the touch of a button, shock his opponent.
For normal moves, he will have the ussual punches and kicks, and knees, and elboes. He will have white hair, a hunched back, and a curved nose.

2:The arenas will be the ones from the first 3 games accept rusty and abbandon.

3: I explained the story in my character profile.

4: It wiil have the ussual Arcade mode, but it will also have story mode.
___________________________________________________________

That is my character, and game play idea, what did you think of it citezins of MKO?
Respond in your next post.

Like I've said before don't over use the similies if you want to stay on this web sight so read this to keep you outta trouble...

Let's play a game......Sorta

Have you ever been watching a movie and got the notion:
1. "That would be so friggin Kewl in Mortal Kombat!!"...
2. "That looks like the producers took that idea from Mortal Kombat!!"

Well...
I'm sensing a kind of dry spell for fresh, truley new ideas. Not a "lack" of ideas, but kinda like "stagnate repetition". Almost rubbing the same spot with the same relative ideas consistantly. Alot of ideas are still really interesting and good, but...."Not so New//Fresh" is the vibe I get alot of the times. This doesn't escape me either so, I'm thinking why not use what's there....elsewhere.

Let's try "Movies". Closely related in more than a few ways, I believe since Mk has drawn inspiration from films in the past(understatement), it seems fitting that current films inspire some "Future Games' Ideas".

So let's try to create ideas based off your favorite scenes per genre-of-film. Pick-A-Scene, some of your favorites, and see if there's a creative way to make those scenes a part of a Future Mortal Kombat Game.

=======================================================
A. No Limitations really. Think up anything for any part of the game you want according to the genres that are in focus. Alot of movies have a multitude of genre fittings so don't hold back if you have an idea. (remember, this is still the idea thread. You are not forced to do this section of the thread, I'm merely attempting to provok fresh ideas for future mortal kombat games)
B. I'll alternate the Genre(s) per week or ever-so-often and put up an idea of my own as a starter..how much the genres switch will deped on respones.
C. Please do...use YouTube or picture links if you are so inclined. To help us see what you mean...as stated on the first page of this thread, visual aids seriously help some people realize your idea. So feel well free to do so....
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First Genre(s):

Action//Adventure//Crime//Thrillers

Think of your most favorite movie moments, and try to think up different ways to make them apart of Mortal Kombat games. From subtle effects, to fatalities, to speacial moves, to character stories, to anything else under the sun really..

Here's My First One According to the Underlined:

Batman Begins: The Ninja Scene

Oh, this is So Noob Saibot and the Brotherhood of the Shadow I almost hurled of excitment when I first saw it! Lol.

A way to apply it to a Future Mortal Kombat Game? Mmm...
Make it a FpS Mini-Game or a Training Simulator that gains your character experience, stregnth, and somthing relative to "focus"...And as a nice perk, add the option to uttilize a weapon(s) in the process.

You would have to subdue//kill the Guest Appearences of those who are, or were members of the Brotherhood...Noob, Quan Chi, Sareena, Smoke, Shinnok maybe. It's like a "Test Your Sight" with a more intuitive, more engaging twist. It would be fairly dark like that scene in Batman Begins, and the feel would be creepy-dark and dangerous. "Things" could spook your character as distractions like, spiders or rats...or bats(ha!)....Maybe a drop of water falls RIGHT in your eye and could disturb your vision while you try to kill off the Main, and even some not so imprortant members of the Brotherhood.

Sound would play a part in disturbances too. Maybe ever-so-often a dog or cat would bark or make a noise outside your first-person vision and make you miss an opportunity to "get" one of your objective targets.

A life bar could be implemented too. To where, as you're looking for your targets, one or two might jump out a swipe at you trying to kill you off before you can complete your mission and disappear back into the mold of formation again. Quick, brutal, even violent attacks is what you would be subject to. They would laugh at you in disbelieve. As if "You won't live long enough to complete your mission." Says Quan Chi hidding amidst the painfully detailed "other ninjas" around you.

This would be extremely close quaters so First person might be a must, but third person could be an option to make the game more fun. From third person, amongst all the "other ninjas", you might see Noob Saibot scurrie around a couple rows of ninjas over(picture it like the MkDeception Krypt experience). And as you make your way to that location, 2-to-3 "other ninjas" and Smoke jump out inconsistantly & take strikes at you. Like the A.I. just baited YOU....Another use for third person view might only be to help you out when a melee ensuse. To suggest you have to see everything going on around you. But it could just be a simple toggle option on your controller. That would be fine too.

You must defend, parry, block, or kill them off giving you an array of options in how to deal with the neusence "other ninjas".....But if you happen to kill one of the neusence characters, another -- "other ninja" would re-appear in his place(x5 "neusence ninjas" from one initial standing place. If you kill off 5 ninjas from their same standing point during a melee or something, that spot becomes a void and possible advantage to you. Use it wisely aha!).

One thing about this sort of, "mini-game" if you will, is that it would bring relavance to using a weapon in Mortal Kombat more. So, it should be a very sneeky game, giving a very subtle nod to games like Metal Gear Solid or one of the Tom Clancy games. To where, if you use your weapon recklessly? The closest 5-10 ninjas attack you at once!! Melee!! See the fun in trying to switch to third person when that happens? Maybe even Sareena(or one of the other major characters) jumps in the fight when that happens, giving you a chance to "Fatality" one of your objectives(Rarely, as it would have to be, otherwise people would just bait the melee and wait for the objective characters to come to them).

But it would be really hard to to deal with and hard to beat, and moreso, startling even after you've played it for a while.
Touch sensitive, because if you bumped one of the "other ninjas" too hard or too much,.....Let the melee begin again. Maybe even sensitive for you--to shadows....Considering who you're dealing with and what you're doing there(looking for the brothers of the shadow..aheh)

One more thing...the "other ninjas" move in formation like that scene somehow, very impulsively//suddenly//sparaticly, but strong and stone soldier-like. They might even do some nice ninja tricks to get into formation.

So, if you're standing in the spot they have to be in when they re-format, that may provok a melee or just a one on one fight with that particular disturbed ninja. Negates to this for you would be rolling or quick steps in any direction so you don't disturb them anymore than you need to. The less you disturb them, and the more you get done effectively, the more your character grows via a point system of some sort. Money or experience which allows you to wear better things or aquire stronger powers and such according to your characters "natural" abilities.....

Nice hint for a Kreated Fighter Builder too I think...

The ones in black w/astrek are ones we probably wont spend any time on for obvious reasons, Grey are already done with for the time being...The red ones are the ones in focus right now, White we haven't gotten to yet....

Make it good. Have fun..


Oh..
Do Not Quote This Post Please!!...It's Just Too Long

This idea is inspired by a famous Drama / Mystery / Sci-Fi / Thriller:

New Arena:

M. Night Shyamalans' "Signs"


As kind of an upgrade, or spin-off to the "The Pit", this arena would be set in those freaky cornfields...or something relativly suspensful. A dark alley, the city dump fields, or even like, in the living forrest.

The music in the link above has speacial emphasis on it too.
The thing about an arena like this is that is should be "scary".
There might be "things" in the background moving around really irraticlly. Like if we use the cornfields as an example, you might see the stalks of corn and a little more distant scarcrow shiver violently.

This arena should be extremely suggestive. Like something is going to "get you."

DeathTrap:

Triggered, TRULEY triggered somehow, those "things"....whatever they are, will come and get you. There could be one big one, that will emerge to over-look the stalks to see you, it then could burst an opening big enough for it to get to you. When it comes forth, it has like, 100 of these really crazy looking tenticals that grap and eat you by taking small, but very disturbing chunks of your clothes and flesh at the same time.

Chest area first, because that would still leave you alive. As it's ripping and eating into your chest area, guts fall, but the "Things" tenticals pick it up and shoves it into it's abyss of a mouth.....Blood splatts and a rib-cage breaks open, but stays connected to your body. The tenticals might peel off the clothes and skin of your arms and legs really.....painfully as this is happening. Just before it gets to the full skeleton, it jerk-snatches you back into the bushes and stalks and the scare-crow start to fly all over the place as it finishes you.

Now, I wanna take a moment to speak about triggering this thing....or any "deathtrap" for that matter....

Trigger-a-DeathTrap

What we have now is a system that shows you exactly where to put your foe, and then "tap" or knock them into the small cinema. Like alot of folk I'm sure, I always disagreed with this system. I think they should demolish this whole "new" way of going about triggering DeathTraps and go about it in a more "natural" fasion, or just ellaborate on the way Mk1-T did it....Like an end-of-round fatality.

A. By natural, and if their must be "during-a-fight" arena killings, I mean let the character trip over a twig or a small rock or something.. and then give the opposite character that split second of a chance to capitolize on it with a specific type of attack. Not just "get 'em by the red line and tap 'em in there". I think it should be a "by-chance" thing, instead of a thing you can manipulate every-round. Repetition gets old fast in this case.

Say your opponent "steps" on a small twig, he should simulate spraining his ankle for about one maybe two sec. That one moment gives the opponent a chance to realize what has happen and try to react. If the reward for your opponents advancement is not redeemed, it should leave him at a disadvantage. Wether slight or large... it should be a disadvatage. Thus, taking you right back to fighting once the opportunity is lost.

Note: once you step on or trip over something, that one opportunity for your opponent is definately lost for the match, AND I beleive this quality should only exsist in 2, maybe 3 arenas. NOT everyone of them or anywhere close to it. There should be three opportunities for a during-play deathtrap.

Ways to trigger dTraps:

1. Trips: over stuff people normally trip over like small rocks, twigs,..street curb...
2. Falls over something: Like a bench or something inanimate...tree stump or large root sticking out from the ground. During a fight, it's stuff you might encounter and will have to deal with. These are opportunities for triggering a deathtrap.
3. Gets hit by a moving object: Maybe a dog and cat chase//cat and mouse chase happens during the fight and you are set off balance one leg. Sombody rides by on a bike during a city arena fight......leading to a deathtrap with a car.
4. "Something's in my eye": Bird shits on you Don't fight underneath an enchanted tree. *shugs*

Another thing to take note to: As "by chance" as some of these might sound....that's how those should occur....By Chance

More layda, probably editing now...

Ha, I actually have that same exact dagger, got it at the beach a few years back. Things pretty sharp, especially the tip.

I'd Imagine

Welp, people weren't very receptive to the idea of creating from favorite movie scenes SO, I'll go ahead and retract that from the title...

lol

Try something different later..

Still an open ended concept however...anyone from here on out that wishes to contribute a fresh idea using that train of thinking is more than welcomed to.

I'll have something else fresh up in a lil' while...

Another cool idea would be a revamped Armageddon.

-Add a few new characters and stages

-Character exclusive fatalities

-All stages from all the games.

-Bring back the old mini-games (Break the ??? from the 1st mortal kombat,Chess, etc)

-Take Konquest mode online where you can encounter other foes across the globe, build an army, and duel it out.

-Instead of 1 fighting style+weapon, revert back to 2 styles+ weapon

Just throwing it out there....think about it, how can you top an already awesome game.......version 2 of that awesome game!!!!

How about a 2d minifighting game. with characters that have only been in the 3d games.

Maybe It's Gonna be a better Mk then you played ever Or They Can make the game So realistic It's like it's a real game!

SPOILER ALERT!


Well since since in Scorpions win over blaze brought back his family and clan i think it would be cool if we saw another Shirai-Ryu. maybe his wife or something

nice scroller!

I'd wouldn't mind seeing a prequal to Mortal Kombat. It could be called "Mortal Kombat; Tournament Zero" ot something like that. We could see the original Kung Lao. And Kinshi, before he was blind. Maybe see the human vertions of sektor and Cyrax...befor they became cyborgs. And see al the kombatants that were combined to make Ermac.

Just a thought.
