Well, to me, Mortal Kombat has this very mystical, mythological feel to it with lots of action and stuff like that. I feel that having a hip-hop character would be unfitting.

When it comes to Darrius, well, he doesn't have any mystical qualities about him. He's kinda futuristic and such...I don't know....I don't really dislike him, but I'm not really a fan of him either...

i am sorry but this is a terrible idea hip hop R&B and rap all blow donkey nuts

i don't see fitty cent facing scorpion he would get his ass worked

fitty cent was shot nine times in the chest, a tenth one should be put in his head

bad boy your an idiot

wu tang clan would be an even worse idea

You ALL get it ALL wrong. Who the HELL said that there is ONLY BLACK hip-hoppers in the ENTIRE world. When i say hip hop i dont mean a black bling guy with gold all over him(not that i hate black people in fact I hate racists). I just mean a guy with alittle cool clothes like Jax alt. in MKDA.

Scorpionspupil ever heard about someone called "Eminem"? Oh thats right hes a HIP HOP artist and hes WHITE! If anyone is an idiot then its you Scorpionspupil. cause frankly i just dont give a fuck about what you think.

Cartmansp i think thats a good idea for a hip hop char. nice story and all that.

And all you who said that there should be metal in mk instead of LISTENING to hip hop... Wow that means you really are dumb. I didnt say anything about LISTENING to hip hop in MK. I want a hiphop character in mk not hiphop music! (BTW im not talking to everyone im just talking to those who said they want metal music!)

Chrome i dont really care what you think about Rap/hiphop cuz i didnt ask anyone i just asked about a hip hop CHARACTER.

So everyone think before you post something!
PS. Sorry if i offended anyone!

Thank you. I made a couple other characters like him that I think would be cool in their own game, which is why I suggested the whole spin-off thing in the first place. Here's a quick overview of the characters I made...

- A female drunken master. She'd be like Brad Wong (DOA) or Bo Rai Cho (MK) but not ugly (she'd be teh sexy!) and a couple years younger...
- A mexican samurai. He'd be all about dignity and honor, and have kick ass hand-to-hand fighting skills...
- A molten rock monster. He'd be the Rock God from Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero. Except he'd would be framed for a mass murder or something and be sent to the netherrealm. While there, he'd start transforming and a molten rock monster. He'd eventually break out of the prison he was in and seek revenge...

I've thought of more but I cant think of them right now.And if you want to hear the whole story on any of the characters I mentioned, just ask me...

lol nice ideas.
the female master but... a drunk female? thats a bit rare lol.
The mexican samurai sounds really cool they never put a samurai in any of the mk series so it would be cool. And the rock guy! lol he would be more like a boss or a sub boss hes huge like double subzero.

Hmm should i post a new thread were you put up your own made up characters? then u can post those three with their entire background and moves/styles/fataliyies/harakiris and so on.

Well, I certainly used my head before posting and I still feel that kind of character wouldn't fit in an MK game.

And yeah, there hasn't really been any Samurai characters though Kenshi is much like a Ronin and Hotaru has a Samurai type feel to him.

I kind of like that one concept from MK: DA's Krypt with the martial arts sorceress.

ye but a samurai i mean like in Soul calibur 2 you know Mitsurugi. That kind of samurai. And with raidens hat. Like he lived in a village whe someday it was destroyed by someone(the boss of MK7) and he wants to take his revenge. Edit: Who's Ronin?

i did not say anything about the charactor being black you are crazy i like rock and roll and i like jimi hendrix he was frickin awesome to bad he's dead

eminem sucks just as hard as all the rest i'm just saying hip hop has no place in mk

i actually liked jax until i saw his alt in mkda and the one liners were very annoying

stryker was not hip hop he was a swat member last time i checked hiphoppers hate swat members

i aint racist youre just stupid






...toasty...

Hmm...I see. Well, Dairou's original concept was going to be one of a Samurai who was too bloodthristy to follow Bushido (way of the warrior), the Samurai code of honor..

A Ronin is a Samurai who doesn't have a master, therefore being a "masterless Samurai".

Kenshi uses a Katana and is referred to as a Rogue Swordsman. And if I'm not mistaken, there was a reference to Bushido in his MK: DA Konquest stuff...

Though, I kind of find it strange for him to be mixed Chinese and European but have a Japanese name and use a Japanese long sword like the Katana, but whatever. *shrugs*

Anyway, I don't really know how a Samurai character would fit when it comes to the particular storyline...Then again, perhaps it could work if that character was connected to Sektor's storyline if Sektor and his clan are trying to take over Japan.

No. Please. No.

No stereotype characters. Jax was horrible in DA and MKA (movie).
Stuid one liners, crappy look.

He needs to be more army and tough like in MK2 and 3.

Well you could make the samurai like Kenshi's brother/father or in his family.

Btw Jax should have an army style costume and his alt. could be hip hop.

Rappers are the bards of this time. NOT the knights. So let those rappers play on their little harps and let the fighting to the ones that know what they're doing. I dont know whats more queer. The Undertaker or a rapper in this game -.-

No "mainstream" shit. I had enough of that scourge.

I think a lot of Kenshi's family members are long dead.

About Jax, well...that has already been done in MK: DA. His primary costume was army-like and his alt costume was hip-hop like so to speak.

I think Jax should lose the machine gun and the metal arms. The army look is perfect as long as he also has that type of attitude and not the ghetto-ish attitude he had in MK: DA. I would like to see him have the Sonic Wave back as his projectile and not have missles, fireballs, or the machine gun.

Well, Kenshi could perhaps have ONE brother or something like that.

And I think Jax's Metal arms are one of the best thing he has. I agree about the machine gun thats a bit dumb but the metal arms are pretty cool!

Btw Jax didnt have army look in MK:DA he had the metal arms- style.

This and "shuld rap muzik b in MK?!?!" threads are made before every MK game comes out. :(

To answer the question, no. Would you want some rock 'n roll guy with torn up jeans and frizzy hair rockin' around the MK universe? Probably not. I know I wouldn't. Jax's alt in MKDA was so damn gay.

Well, the thing about Jax is that he is supposedly the strongest man on Earth, yet he has to resort to having metal arms? I understand why he did that, but I think he should ditch them. He has all that he needs and doesn't need to rely on such things to be victorious. I liked how in MK Annihilation that Jax resorted to using only his skills and such when the metal arms became useless for him. I remember an episode of MK DOTR in which raptors kidnap Sonya and the acid from one of the raptors damaged Jax's metal arms and Nightwolf advised Jax to do things without the metal arms.

Yea youre prolly right hes strongest man but has metal arms, but theyre really cool he looks better with the metal arms than without them.

I think it might be cool if Jax gets in a fight or something and then gets his arms ripped off. Then they [The Special Forces] can replace them with very realistic looking bionic arms. They'd look just like the real thing, but just way stronger...

Then his great strength would make more sense...

I also think he should drop the hip hop look. He should look more like a sargent, like Bleed mentioned. He could have some military combat gear and a military/professional looking mustache. Either that or give him back his exact look from Mortal Kombat 2...

It seems as though everyone disagrees about this HipHop Character buissiness... but, there is one thing we're all united on; NO HIPHOP MUSIC!

Although, the greatness of the next gen consoles means that we can have custom soundtracks(certain games on the original X-box already had this feature).......so, if you want HipHop music, you can have it!

At this present time, there aren't any Customizeable Character features in Mk, but in the future you can load Fiddy Cent's face if you feel so inclined!

.....As for me, if there was a Custom Character engine, I'd be making loads better Characters than HipHoppers.

BTW: Wouldn't it be kool to have your Gran fighting in Mk!

Cartmansp=
First of all i think his head is fine no need any mustache or anything.
And second you gave me an idea: Wouldnt be cool if they made it that the more you fight and get hurt your clothes get a bit ripped, you get bleed marks and you might loose some accessories... for example jax metal arms could break and he takes them off, Or Scorpions mask could be ripped off and he fights with his sceleton face, and so on.

What do yall think?

I think thats a pretty kick ass idea. Real time battle damage would add a lot of realism and I'm sure they would be able to pull it off on the next generation consoles...

I don't think so. Mk tried this with Jax and lots of people hated it(Including me).MK is about Sorcerors, Shaolin Monks, Ninjas, Demons, Carnage, and Bloodshed. Hip hop has no place in this game at all. I remember the first time I heard Jax in Mkda sounding off like a moron during my first play with him, I was horrified.

kiasyd are u talking about hip hop are bad or what i just said about bleeding, losing things, and other stuff?

I am talking about the intro topic. Involving Hip hop's place in the MK Universe.
