How about we try to come up with new powers for new characters.

Also upgrades and changes to current characters powers.

You can come up with moves for the powers to be used with also.



I'll start

The power is like a stringy smoke telekinesis.

The character can move things around with an energy that looks like the smoke when Night Crawler teleports in the Xmen 2 movie.

the fighter smokes like Human Smoke but it's the dark energy instead and it looks real.

The black, stringy, cloud energy stretches out from the fighters arms and upper body.

when he throws the energy, it works like a limited range spear. Once it reaches far enough, it will just dissipate.

If the energy catches the opponent, they become weightless, they spin / flip around like the energy or if souls were flying around them keeping them afloat.

Then your fighter can flay his arms in smooth motions like doing a Kung fu Kata to throw the floating opponent in any direction.

The power can also be used to push things, like an energy blast. He can swing it too like a giant smoke whip.

He can do combo throws with this power =

Launcher punch or kick

juggle attacks, cancel to....

Gravity cloud blast that stays under and around the opponent making them fly back in slow motion. = It looks like a bunch of smoke on the floor, if the opponent falls in it, it makes them fall slowly.

Dash in, attack, cancel to a levitation blast = like Ermac's lift.

Then do a stylish push down motion almost like when you throw a baseball but with both hands. An energy whip would swing down and slam the opponent to the ground.

------------------------------------------------------------------

This fighter would be able to use this power to do super jumps and double jumps by using the energy for propulsion, Like a rocket.
Nobody has any ideas huh?

Here are a few more.

1 = Light = like the guy from big trouble in little china = blinds the opponent and can move at light speed.

2 = Time distortion

3 = Blood or water from stage = someone like Rain can use the blood from the ground as a projectile like the guy from Storm Riders when he rips his own arm off and uses the blood as a projectile.

Rain could carry around a water bottle like Bo Rai Cho has his Wine bottle. Rain would use the water to attack then it would fly back in to the bottle or stay floating around him or stay on the floor.

4 = Shock waves = you would see a distortion for the shock wave like Heat waves.

5 = Magic = like a wizard, this fighter would be able to do a ton of stuff.

6 = Black holes = would be able to teleport the opponent using back holes as traps = like Sub's ice clone. Think of a mix of Ermac's lift and Scorpion's telepunch.

7 = Fire = like actual fire, not a fireball, Think Kyo Kusanagi from King of Fighters.

8 = Some kind of energy that can stretch and travel in curves like a snake = Like it was alive.

9 = Morphing in to a Demon or some creature.

10 = Strength and very tough body = Sheeva or a new character

11 = Demons and souls = imagine playing as Darkness from the comic book.



See if you guys can think of moves for these powers or come up with new ones.

As well as new powers in the moves, I liked the idea in MKDA of characters having their own, unique little powe ups. I think they should bring some of these back, like the power up attacks (minus the growth) and the taunting to give a little more life. Plus they should add new skills to this too. A couple of ideas off the top of my head are,

Speed Up. (Not counting the fact that the new MK's badly need some kind of dash)

Example- Remember how fast Jade was in the earlier MK's, particularly MK2? She (or another fast character) could have a mode where the speed of their movement and attacks increases for a short time. Imagine the combos possible with that.

Armour.

Example- Character briefly takes less damage from all attacks. Most likely due to some forcefield or aura around them. This could suit somebody like Raiden I think.


Some of the powers you mention already exist, though they may not be too well developed. Shang Tsung had power over souls, and in older MK's could morph (I don't think they currently have the technology to bring this back), and he and Quan Chi are sorcerors, so there's the magic. And Blaze basically is fire, though they should have done a lot more with this.

What I had in mind for that is new or very different moves using the same or similar powers.

shang's soul power was limited to fireballs.

The magic I'm talking about is limited to your imagination basically.

Spells, Souls, energy, Teleportation, morphing, Healing, curses..... Think of something a medieval style wizard would be able to do.

Morphing = Shang morphs in to other fighters, my idea is to morph in to a second form like Shinnock did at the end of MK mythologies.

Or how Orchid turns in to a tiger for one of her attacks in Killer Instinct.

The fighter could turn in to a type of ware wolf or something. Maybe have several forms like Different fighting styles.

Blaze's fire powers are too stereo typical of MK = a basic fireball and a dash punch or kick.

I'm talking about more realistic looking flames, like a Flame thrower.

KYO Kusanagi

And Scorpion's toasty fatality in MK4.

Kai could use powers like that.

1st they should make a lightning tornado that spins the character for a free hit (this move shouldn't be for raiden but for a newcomer)

2nd a smoke wall that is unable to avoid unless to block

3rd a flying trick were they character can fly anywhere they wish for a limited amout of time before the drop and make it able to fly into them or throw fire or something at them when they wish to





good post it allows people to speak there mind

There are plenty of currently existing MK character that haven't used their powers to their full abilities...

Water- Rain, of course. I think he should have more control over it... as his element, rather than carrying water around with him or anything. A bit like Sub-Zero, but his powers would of course be hydrokinetic.

Fire- Blaze. Not just fireballs... Blaze is composed of Fire itself, so he should have a bit more originality with how it can be used.

Wind- Fujin. He had a few nice maneuvers in MK4, but he could use more originality in the special moves department as well.

Souls- A shadow priest character... perhaps I will finish my own concept on this soon.

Earth- Tremor. Yeah, I know he's just another lame ninja palette swap, who is probably dead anyway. But handled correctly, Earth related maneuvers could work quite well.
I think the God of Fire from MK mythologies had cooler looking powers than blaze.

Fujin has so many possibilities that he could be broken.

There could be a fighter that is like a living plant = Swamp thing but cooler looking. Maybe like a character you would see in War Craft. Something old style and earthy looking and not human. He might be related to the trees in the living forest some how. Maybe he's a fully grown tree that is now able to move and shape shift or grow at will.

If he has armor, it would be vines or bark.

He could have vines come out of the ground and grab or cut the opponent like IVY's d+V+K in SC2.

He could have spiny Vines that attack like Whips. He might even move like a spider, or Doctor octopus by using the vines as legs to move fast around the stage. Actually, he could take Mavado's moves as his own.

He would bleed sap and might be able to use the same as Bo Rai Cho's vomit move.

The character would shape shift during battles, like
Glacius from KI2
Venom from Marvel VS Capcom 2
or
Twelve from Street fighter 3 3rd strike.

I think a totally cool power could be hypnotism. It could be a stun move, and he could also throw around that pendulum thing.

Also a magician could be cool if used correctly and not weird. Like use a deck of cards and the spike bokes and stuff that magicians have.
ooooh, A witch doctor!

A Witch doctor could use a weird style, like a mix of Drunken boxing, Monkey kung fu and maybe panther or tiger style. Something weird and sloppy looking.

I just thought of this one.

For Scorpion, what if his rope was like in the movie but instead of having a spear, it's just a tentacle that comes out of his wrists. = Like Omegared from X=men.

To throw the spear, what would happen is that as he grabs the spear, the tentacle would wrap around the end so it ends up looking like the normal spear.

This way, he can have the spear move around like a tentacle with a LOT more move options. Then still have a large blade as the spear head.

So it makes sense with both the Game spear and the movie spear.

If you want to see an example of how Scorpion would fight using 2 tentacles and 2 spear heads, play God of War, or Use IVY in Soul Calibur 2, Spider man, Venom and Omegared from Marvel vs capcom 2.
