Daegon wasn't in MK9 story for the same reason than Shujinko. Their actions weren't affecting that plot even if they were active all along in other places.

Daegon founded the Red Dragon, Shinnokh (who will play a huge role in MKX) corrupted him long before we saw him for the first time. He has been working in the shadows for quite a long time.

I don't like the character either, but given how much relevance the Red Dragon seems to have in the comics (that Kano cover? It's stated to be a fight against the Red Dragon and we've seen Red Dragon goons designs for the comic too), there is a BIG possibility for him to be there and there are plenty of logical explanations (specially considering the Red Dragon will be featured AND both Hsu Hao and Mavado seem to be in Ed Boon's character deadpool so the only known Red Dragon left is him).

Raiden changed things happening during/after the MK1-MK3 era, but Daegon was active since before that era so Raiden actions didn't erase his existence just because his first physical appareance was in MKA.

Taven awakening on the other hand could be prevented, aswell as the whole MKA plot, but Daegon is already scheming out there.

They could have possibly created a new Red Dragon member (let it be female).

@corayfor: Shujinko would be the better choice.

Exactly! Deagon is already loose, and a lot can be done with Taven right now. We could kill him off. We could awaken him prematurely except not as early as Daegon. Or we could just let him continue to sleep until a later MK game. After seeing back ground characters make appearances ahead of their time, Quan Chi and Shinnock, I truly believe that we will see Daegon in this next game. I mean Shinnock is this guy's boss. Also Rain is his half brother and he showed up in MK9. We need to see more Edenians after the lost of Kitana, Jade, and Sindel.

@ Ice Baby I always liked Ashrah's costume. She's not a young looking character to me. Maybe mid 30s early 40ish in appearance to me. Even tho she is a lot older than she looks, a hell of a lot older lol.

This is a fighting game, not a modeling competition. Who cares how old she is? Do you care how old the guys are in the game?


Oh please, you must be joking, "who cares how old she is?"

Let me burst your thought bubble, female characters are usually modelled to appeal to gamers of the opposite gender, males, who are the vast majority when it comes to Fighting Games thus they're the target demographic, it's a marketing strategy used since ever.

MK females are all about fanservice, we can dislike it, but that's the reality of how most female characters are treated in fighting games. Also, lol at you trying to imply sexual appeal works both ways in this context.

Because we found out in later games that he was involved during these events despite we never saw him in the earlier games.

Quan Chi always has schemes and probably has one to become ruler. Shinnok knows about it and calls upon Daegon to take him out. However, since Quan will have his undead, Shinnok will summon his army along with Shang Tsung (considering Quan didn't resurrect him).

I wouldn't be surprised if we see Shujinko take part in some way in MKX.

Definitely the most popular but as you stated, him being the best is a matter of opinion. I think he's about tied with Kenshi as far as appeal and potential go but Quan has sort've been run into the ground lately. I'm really hoping MKX gives him a new dynamic to work with because his treachery shit is getting old.

Quan Chi is the Ernst Stavro Blofeld of Mortal Kombat. You try to kill and outsmart him, but he'll always come up with a backup plan to stab you in the back and escape through his green portals to troll your miserable life for another day

Amen! Quan Chi is long overdue for a Scorpion/Sub-Zero butt whopping. Yet Quan Chi is so cunning and lucky. I doubt it will ever happen. I still find it hard to believe that he is > or = to Shang Stung. I mean Quan Chi has his reasons, no doubt, but MAN Shang Stung used to creep the hell out of me with his MK1 look when I was a child.

Before someone asks us to get back on topic, I have to know this, but what the hell did Devorah say to Kano after the "hello my lovely" line. I find it hard to understand her, but I like her none the less. EDIT: According to Shijinko, if we sit on our behinds with our legs crossed we could fast forward time. Jan. 2nd will be here in a matter of minutes tongue...

Scorpion/Sub-Zero butt whooping to Quan Chi won't happen in MKX. Quan will have something bigger to attain to or worry about.

Greetings brethren, I hail from the future of the April month and MORTAL KOMBAT X has been released.

The game is...meh it's ok.
The characters you ask? Same old same old. Typical troll boon.
New characters? Only 6
Story? Lots of plot holes.
Comics? added nothing.

I must return to the future now. Don't LET this game come into fruition, it will be the end of all things...MK related. These are the words of Raiden...and James.

Oh...Tanyas not in MKX..
...Not in MKX. Tanya..yes...LOL..MKX no. Yes?
Kharacter of Tanya her epik kostumes will not be real...
Real...No...and Tanya...never...LOL...wow

Dude it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that Darkened Souls used Shijinko's meditation to fast forward into future.

@Darkened Souls please continue to lay down the facts of MKX. What's the tier list; can you tell me? Is Blaze overpowered?

You are looking for the word "awesome", which makes the character interesting. The word "pretty" or "prettier" should not be used towards a guy.


Because of why exactly? And no, I am not looking for the word awesome. I deliberately do not use the word awesome, because people misuse it most of the time.

Given, they could make Goro appealing. But I have seen Goro come back from exile, be a responsible leader for his people, be honorable, then die, then saved by Kahn, then become treatcherous and tear Kitana limb from limb. No, the character is diluted to the point I no longer care for him.

Goro has one of the most fucked up stories in MK... He was a bad guy... Then it seemed he was a good guy... Now he's a bad guy again. He could've been so much more to the franchise.

Anyway I bet we get Kenshi as the next reveal which I find a bit unfortunate. I like his character but I'm more interested in seeing the new fighters.
