Definitely a no for Chameleon.

I'll be tallying up the votes and changing the character on Monday. Don't have a lot of free time here today or tomorrow so hang tight folks! I'll be back on Monday! With that said, let's get more votes!

I say give Chameleon a shot.

We won't know his true potential until NRS actually makes an investment in him.

1. Every member on MKO is a valued member; your opinion is not worth more than any other opinion.
2. Stick to the topic. Icebaby's thread is focusing on one character at a time so that there's ample time to focus on and discuss one character. We are in no rush here, so don't start trying to rush her. If you want to chat about Rain, go to your Rain fashion thread and discuss something there. Just as I tell the other users here about your threads, if you do not want to participate in this discussion and won't contribute to it (in this case, focusing on CHAMELEON), then back off, or else I will make you.
3. I vote YES for Chameleon because Chameleon is a blank slate that can be used for so fucking much if an actual writer was part of Netherrealm Studios. I mean, for Raiden's sake (see what I did there? ), this character has the abilities of 7 of the most powerful and well-known fighters in the series, and yet somehow, they've still not come up with a way to explain it? To make him cooler than the concept that he's the one-man MK ninja? Fucking balls, man. Seriously, bring him back and give him a chance to shine already! Hell, make him a general in Shinnok's armies, or make him replace Quan Chi or something, I don't know, just do something with the guy instead of just saying he's been there since Liu Kang won MK!

He's right though, you truly are a high value mod, Jerrod.

I'll give a pity vote towards Chameleon.

Chameleon's turn for voting is over. From counting the votes, you don't want him to return for the next game.

So, the next character up for debate is Cyrax. Wanna see him return for the next game or no?

YES!

Cyrax goes for the good guys from now on!

Since I don't know how to say it in binary since he's part robot, I'll say YES.

Yes, I'd like to see Cyrax return. They made him so much better compared to how he was in MK: Armageddon. Having said that, I do have to wonder where he, Sektor, and the rest of the Lin Kuei will fit into the (likely) story. Perhaps in the next game, we'll see him transition into a good guy.

I'm not clear if this is simply a "do you want the character to return" based on feels or if you think it'll make sense in the story. See I'm conflicted because I like Cyrax the character (really the whole Lin Kuei plot) , thought he was cheap as hell with his resets in MK9, and am unclear on who/what'll reactivate him in MK10.

It's not like they were killed. I'm sure the cyberninjas have something similar to being knocked unconscious and waking back up.

There are some users who want the said character back based on their feelings, others for story purposes. It could be either or really.

Ok, I won't over think it. I vote yes for Cyblax.

since Cyrax WAS in MKG and MKDA the timeline suggests it would be ok. I say yes because he's been my favourite cyber-niinja for a while and the story could really use a progression with both him and Sektor. I feel it was left too open-ended for them at the end of MK9

He's still alive so why not?

Yes for Cyrax.

I'll continue to have Cyrax going on throughout the day and tomorrow. Depending on what's going on for me for New Years, I might extend this vote to the 2nd instead of tomorrow. So keep on voting!

Oh and have a safe and awesome New Years!!!

Time's up for Cyrax, next up is Drahmin! And the results for Cyrax was a definite yes!

I'm going to also include what I have to say along with these posts because I'm not sure how many people actually still reads the original post:

Thoughts on Drahmin

Okay, as much as everyone did NOT like this character, I actually think he could make a possible return if given the chance to. I'm going to believe that the Netherealm is going to make a lot of appearances in the next game, so let's see him return with a reason. We know that there's going to be an army of evil going after everything, so he could potentially return to help with that army. It's a stretch but I'm going to say yes.

I would say yes for Drahmin.

While he wasn't made well, he is still very interesting concept. I would love to see what NRS can do with him now.

I definitely want to see Drahmin in the next game. He can easily fit well into the story, and I'd like to see more exploration on his character and backstory. He just needs some redesigning in terms of looks and gameplay.

Um... you skipped Dairou & Darrius.

And...?

Joking aside, I'll just go back to them once Drahmin is done.

I'll say yes for Drahmin.

Not because I like him, but I think from a gameplay standpoint he could be very fun to use. His juggling ability will make a fun character. I can totally see his Rising Uppercut being the perfect combo ender.

I'd say yes to Drahmin.

If there's gonna be a Netherrealm invasion, it'll be him taking part of it.

Did Drahmin ever do anything meaningful or relevant? I'm honestly asking because I've forgotten. I feel like I can rationalize any character as a "yes" when I start doing the whole "hypothetically he could be improved" or "maybe if they re-work the story." So...I'm just going by my initital impressions and from what I remember and that's a no.

Score breakdown for me:

Concept - Zombie Oni demon guy thing - Yes
Aesthetics - I like the Oni/Noh mask but everything else seems pretty bland - No
Gameplay - Balls of flies? Generic rising uppercut? Hammer hand? - No

Meaningful/relevancy wise, Drahmin and Moloch were the ones who chucked Scorpion into the soulnado which ended up leading to his becoming the Champion of the Elder Gods....Pretty much it. Regardless, he gets a yes from me......Just, for the love of Sheba, give him pants this time.
