I would rather speculate what will be in KP2 than just have the board be dead.


Fujin - Comes with The Portal stage from MK2 and a MK4 skin pack for Shinnok, Reptile, and Sonya.

Smoke - Comes with House of Pekara from DA, also a skin pack for a duster costume Erron Black and whatever else for 2 of the new characters.

Li Mei - Comes with Shangs Palace from DA, with Deception skin pack for Ermac, Sub, and idk why but give Takeda the primary Darrius costume https://gyazo.com/c70587995f86d83e4d223f88cc1432ff. I liked his costume and the part of it that goes down his arms slightly would work with his whips.

Shao Kahn - Comes with The Pit 3 from MK3, and a skin pack with MK9 spikey Goro, Shaolin Monks Reptile, and DA Raiden with the cape.

Also Rain for free with free classic skins for Rain, Smoke, Tanya, and Tremor.

I really feel like playing as Shao Kahn in a game again so I want him but would be fine with anyone else that's been suggested.

Before MKX was released you had new stupid fucking Tanya threads every day...


Anyway, if were doing a KP2, I'd probably go

Fujin: Not my guy, but the demand is there

Rain: See above

Havik: He's been skulking around in the shadows for a while. He'd sell and I think a convincing story could be crafted

Ashrah: I think the whole demon seeking redemption storyline would fit in MKX quite well. Her more conservative design was always a breath of fresh air in MK's land of thongs, which they seem to be moving slightly away from.

We know theres going to be one female character, and I like all of them so I good no matter what tbh

Considering MKX is rolling with the Shinnok storyline I decided on characters that were in MK4/MKG (2 that have Trilogy/2/3 name recognition) and one that should have been in MK4.

Baraka: Outworld Pack. Free Stage: MK2 Portal
Cyrax: Cyborg Pack. Free Stage: MK3 Subway
Sareena: Brotherhood Pack. Free Stage: MK1 Pit (Best I could do)
Fujin: Gods & Heroes Pack. Free Stage: MK4 Snake Lair

I detailed the costume packs before but I'm not in the mood to go back and look for them right now.

Had more to write about bonus 5th character Rain only being free with the Kombat Pack as well as detailing costumes for DLC characters but I'll let it drop.

Snake Lair.... nice pull! Loved that stage.

DLC Characters:
Fujin (Wind God, Arrowstorm, Guardian) - most requested.
Sindel (Banshee, Gorgon, Queen of Ghosts) - my fave, okay, let me live.
Havik (Cleric of Chaos, Contortionist, Destroyer) - makes a strong impact in the comic.
Li Mei (Outworld's Champion, Aerialist, Kunlun Dao) - two females is unlikely, of course, but perhaps not with...
Rain (Half God, Hydromancer, Vizier) - a bonus free character exclusively for those who buy the entire Pack, to avoid repeating paid DLC from MK9. he goes in the unnecessary ? slot.

Costume Packs:
With Fujin: MK4 pack (Shinnok, Tanya, Reptile)
With Sindel: MK3 pack (Sonya Blade, Kano, Sub-Zero)
With Havik: Deception pack (Mileena, Liu Kang, Sub-Zero)
With Li Mei: Outworld pack (new looks for Kotal Kahn, Mileena, Ferra/Torr)

Compatibility Skins
With Fujin: UMK3 Mileena
With Sindel: UMK3 Kitana
With Havik: Deception Tanya
With Li Mei: UMK3 Tremor
With Rain: UMK3 Rain

Standalone Skin Packs (a la Kold War and Brazil)
Next Generation 1 (new looks for Cassie Cage, Jacqui Briggs, Takeda)
Next Generation 2 (new looks for Kung Jin, Erron Black, D'Vorah)

What I'd like:

Li Mei

At least another female character (pretty much all of them would do, though Frost's one of my least wanted ones)

Various male characters that would do, so no need to name them really, but just to name a few anyway: Bo Rai Cho, Drahmin, Havik, Stryker, Hotaru, and Darrius. Getting just one or two of them would satisfy me. Stryker, and any returning Revenants really, must get at least both a "live" design and a Revenant one.

No Fujin

If we get anymore core characters, then Baraka and/or Shao Kahn. No Shang Tsung or Noob.

As open as I am to guests, if we only get four more characters, and no third KP, then I'd only want one more guest, particularly the Alien, out of all the rumored ones.

No more than two returning DLCs from MK9, and no more than two of the fightable NPCs. So if we get Rain, then we shouldn't get both Skarlet and Freddy, or Baraka and Sindel.

If I were in charge of Kombat Pack 2....

The first thing I would do is make an announcement- There is NO Kombat pack 2.... per se! Instead of 1 large content pack, we'd get several smaller packs, which include 2 characters, +1 FREE character, & 1 pack of skins. We'll call it the "MKX Encore Era"

The Monster Pack - Sindel, Baraka, + Free character Freddy Krueger. Includes alt skins for Jason & Predator, a Demon skin for Shinnok, & a Kintaro Skin for Goro. Release Date: Halloween. Freddy vs Jason on Halloween anyone?

The New Blood Pack- Classic Pit stage (can alternately fight at the bottom of the Pit). Includes Free character Skarlet. The Blood Goddess Lurks at the bottom of the pit, the bloodiest stage in all of MK-Lore. Includes skins for all the "New Blood" of MKX. (Cassie, Takeda, etc.) Release Date: Halloween.

The Ninja Pack- Smoke, Noob Saibot, + Free character Rain. Includes a new skin for every ninja in MKX. Release Date: Thanksgiving. Thanx NRS!

The MK4 Pack- Reiko, Kai, + Free character Fujin. Includes MK4 skins for Shinnok, Reptile, Baraka, Tanya, & a Jarek Skin for Kano (just for fuck's sake LoL). Release Date: Christmas.

The Femme Fatales Pack- Sareena, Li Mei, + Free character Jade. Includes alt skins for various females. (If possible, Frost skin for SZ? Sheeva skin for Goro?) Release Date: January

Now if I was REALLY in charge at NRS, I would have a team working on the "MK X-pansion" the entire time, giving us another hour or so of story. What happens in the weeks after MKX ends? (Happy ending for LiuKang & Kitana? Outworld's current status?) New Faction: Shirai Ryu. New faction prizes: MKDA skins, GOLD weapons!? Release date: April 2016, one year after MKX's Launch. Thats 7 months away, I'd Like to think this is possible. LoL
