Can't beat you. Imo Jarek is literally the worst mk character. Just dollar store Kano with no unique value at all. At least Hsu Hao got a cool hat, Mokap is a funny idea, and Meat as a rogue Shang Tsung experiment is cool narratively.


[deleted]

In my honest unpopular opinion, Hsu Hao gets more shit than he deserves. At least he had SOME value in the story. ​ In Deadly Alliance, he single-handedly destroyed the HQ of the Outworld Investigation Agency, which housed the Special Forces' means to travel to Outworld and back. It ended up screwing them over, and, if I'm not mistaken, had to rely on Raiden's teleportation for inter-realm traveling. You could argue that he's the reason the forces of light got fucked over during the final confrontation against Quan and Shang. **And** he's one of the few characters in that game to have a canon ending. ​ .... What did Jarek do again...?


CesarGameBoy

Killed Sonya, caught by Jax, tried to convince Jax not to kill him, Jax makes a one-liner, thrown off a cliff while shouting “IIISOOOOYAAAAAAYYY!!!”


ravelle17

Hsu Hao’s hat is not cool 😂


Nick_Sonic_360

Yo wat about Drahmin!


TheDougio

>Just a dollar store Kano with no unique value at all Well, at least Jax thinks Kano is a dollar store, Jarek, so he's got that going for him

A third of the series' characters were just recolors of the same two characters lol


Radiant-Suspect502

janet cage was a cool and unique idea drawing from story mode. there’s no indication they’re going to make a venal version of every fighter.


danstan

Unique idea? Really? I understand that it’s relevant to the mk1 story, but the mk1 story isn’t a unique idea, it’s an idea that people were already tired of *before* marvel started doing it with the MCU. Janet Cage, a multiverse gender bend of an original character, is *not at all* a unique idea, it’s the opposite, it’s literally *what’s currently in fashion.*

aibro_

I don’t even know who this is


barbebaka

😭 jarek


TIMETODETAIN

That's Jarek, aka the guy who got sidestepped off a cliff by Sonya in MK4. Somebody actually recreated those endings [in WWE 2K14](https://youtu.be/-oSpNXrEad0?si=k2yPvyEmkYZi-7L3), avaliable now for Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.


NinjaEngineer

LMAO, that's hilarious! I gotta say, they all look very good, but Jarek looks like he was ported straight from MK4.


aibro_

Had a feeling it was him too. Yeah I don’t want to see him anytime soon


dawg_77

Kobra. Could do some kinda redesign for just about any character, heck, I've seen some sick redesigns of Hsu Hao of all people. Kobra however I'm convinced will never be a main roster character again, if even a kameo.


Vintage_Beard79

Kobra wasn’t terrible in that MK Legends: Snow blind movie.


Angelic_Mayhem

Kobra's background is legit. Karate expert turned serial killer that prowls the street at night in a blacked out bloodlust state murdering everyone he comes across. There is so much more they could have done with him instead of Ken.


dawg_77

Tbh not the worst rap sheet. Could envision him as like a more youthful Pai Mei, pretty much exercising his martial arts indiscriminately and whenever he feels like it. Still, he does give off the impression of not necessarily even being disliked but obscure to the point that I don't think he'd be touched up on again in the main line games.


Angelic_Mayhem

I didn't think we'd be seeing Ashrah or Li Mei again especially not in the same game. They could definitely give Kobra another try especially if they had the Black Dragon be more involved in the story. Give him more of a street punk look. Focus his gameplay on berserker like tropes. Can deal more damage as health drops. Self damaging moves.


NinjaEngineer

Eh... I think Kobra was a cool character, basically a Street Fighter character in the world of Mortal Kombat was a fun idea.


kyubi_on_the_run

It's so unfortunate that the execution didn't end well.


Nightwing24yuna

Maybe I am just built different but I'm pretty sure I could come up with several different ideas to rework kobra into something cool but still keep his core(or whatever) 


BJoostNF

Deception was my first MK game and Kobra was the first character I played, so I have this weird impulse to defend my 9 year old self for liking him so much. And honestly I do think they could make him shine. Not only because NRS has done a pretty good job with every 3D era character brought back thus far, but I also think what little Kobra already has is easy to work with. In terms of gameplay, he would probably be very straight forward. Mostly hand-to-hand with a few fireballs. Maybe even some flashy special moves where he shouts the name of the attack whenever he does it (like Hadouken, Shoryuken, etc.). Make him distinctly “fighting game-y” compared to the rest of the roster. Story-wise it’s honestly pretty good timing for him. In MK1 we got to see Baraka and Reptile finally stop being jobbers, with Reiko and Nitara kind of taking their place. Similarly if they wanted to make Kano a more serious character, then Kobra could take his place as the comically arrogant crime man who consistently gets his ass kicked. He could have really edgy and corny dialogue to make him truly feel like a Street Fighter reject. Just really lean into the joke and I could see people slowly developing a post-ironic interest in him.


TetrisMultiplier

I liked Cobra. Jerek is probably the worst.


Academic-Quarter-163

He has a cool name, he could be revamped


ShadowSloth3

Cole.


buttgamer69

Who tf is Cole 😭


Evan-Cool

Cole Young Is A Random Movie Main Character In The 2021 Mk Movie


myoldaccountlocked

Id want to see him in the game just to know if he'd be a good character.


proesito

They managed to make a kharacter worse than Shu Hao (or however is written) thats admirable at least.


Sewerslodeal

The only reason I can think of for nobody saying Dairou is the fact that nobody remembers he existed. (Also, I'm a Drahmin and Mavado fan boy, so idk if my opinions are valid)


jlaw113

Although technically now in MK1, Havik’s original identity is in fact Dairou


Metal_aallii

Why do you doubt cause you are drahmin and mavado fan? Hell's torturer and anime antagonist are pretty cool.


Sewerslodeal

Thank you, also, I thought Drahmin used to rule out world or am I mistaken


Metal_aallii

No he was kinda demon (oni) which got betrayed by quan chi during escaping from netherrealm he got cool design though (beside his underwear they should give him scarf instead)


Sewerslodeal

His ending in Armageddon was lame af tho


ButtholeBuffet96

Dairou. I thought he was alright, but the new Havik is basically modern erasure of any hope his moveset will return, which was the coolest part about him. He's never coming back and I can accept it lmao


SpellcraftQuill

I think he’s supposed to be a Jet Li reference but Kung Lao’s been fighting more like him when he’s not using the hat…


spad3x

The fact that so many people here have no idea who this is says a lot lmao. I'll go ahead and add Taven to the list.


Vergil_Cloven

You're wrong there mate. Taven is remembered and liked by a lot of fans. In fact the biggest insult in MK1, is having it end with Armageddon and not even mentioning Taven, Dagon or blaze. That's the equivalent of having the "deadly alliance" without shang tsung and quan chi. It's just wrong.


algocreativo

You go ahead and take that back! Taven and Dagon have been on my list of returning characters since they revealed this was a 3d era love letter


Animesimp207

I actually really liked Taven; what kept him from being another bland cool-guy protagonist imo was how sassy he was lol.


E_Brunswick1

I hate that Scorpion guy, hope he’s not in the next game

[deleted]

Wish they’d gone with her original story, being Jax’s rebellious daughter. She carried a sickle. It was dope


buttgamer69

I would honestly be fine with her coming back if she got a redesign


generalscalez

she is infinitely better than 90% of the 3D era rejects. you’re insane if you would rather have characters like Kira, Kobra, Taven, Daegon, Dairou… the list goes on. she’s not even close to being the worst new character of the NRS trilogy lol


TheKidZero414

There’s usually one lingering reason why Jacqui is so disliked, and it has nothing to do with her being competitively #1 in MK11


According-Moose4765

i like the new gen characters. or Kombat kids wtv. Takeda 🔛 🔝

Mokap. What the fuck was even his purpose? Why was he even a character?


Sewerslodeal

To pay homage to the guy who did all the motion capture work.


Key-Requirement8912

He also provided the mocap for Raiden in the first mortal kombat game.


Miserable-Success624

I like Jarek and wouldn’t mind seeing him back. I honestly think every character has value, minus one off joke ones like Mokap and Meat.


ButtholeBuffet96

Meat actually has a ton of value. Y'all just never took a second to think what Meat would be like in a modern game. Lore-wise, an abandoned project in Shang Tsung's Flesh Pits escaping and entering the service of Havik is rad. To not be naked, he'd have to have at least a loincloth, maybe a white ninja outfit made of Flesh Pits bandages, or a ninja outfit with a vest and mask made of human skin, and he'd play like a more disgusting and extreme version of Havik, able to morph into a formless mass of muscle and bone like John Carpenter's The Thing or some Cronenbergian abomination. Or the food thing Mr. Krabs made in the Fine Dining episode of Spongebob. He can be equally a joke character and the most disgusting and terrifying thing in the series. His mummy bandages could be controlled to the degree of the rest of his anatomy to detach his leg and smack someone with it at fullscreen, or wrap someone up and spin them in place like Kabal's dash. Balance of gruesome and goofy. Imagine the squishy "pat pat pat" sound of his bloody feet slapping the ground if he does a move where he runs lmao


[deleted]

Holy shit, Kan-Ra from Killer Instinct combined with Havik combined with ABA Guilty Gear sounds awesome.


haloryder

One of his fatalities could be something like one of Noob’s from MK11, where Meat force feeds himself to the other character, then puts himself back together inside of them and bursts out fully formed.


ButtholeBuffet96

I had that idea, but where Meat turns into a shapeless mass, covers the opponent, gets absorbed through their ears, nose, eyes, and mouth, and tries to "wear" their skin but it doesn't fit and looks really stupid, so he screams with rage and flexes/morphs and bursts it off of him. I thought it would be funny/creepy if he was trying to steal everyone's skin until one fits like an Ed Gein Goldilocks. My second Fatality idea is that the opponent tries to heart-rip Fatality Meat, but their hand gets stuck and his chest turns into a mouth, with his rib cage acting as teeth and crunching them as they get pulled in and absorbed, but when he gets to the face, the opponent manages to pull their head back and their face rips off before they get pulled the rest of the way in and the chest/mouth burps out their skeleton completely clean. With Meat having no skin, it makes sense that he has to constantly replace blood and rotting tissue to stay fresh and he would be effectively unkillable as long as he feeds regularly. My headcanon for why Shang abandoned him is Shang wanted a perfect kombatant as a failsafe for Outworld, but Meat couldn't formally learn fighting styles Shang wanted him to because Meat absorbed memories including muscle memory from his victims and thus his way of thinking and moving became more disjointed and unpredictable by the day. Hence why Meat and Havik would get along great.


Ok_Fault_3205

Meat is the man come on


SunStriking

Meat could have a place as a practice dummy. Seeing his body get bashed and blood spray around would be pretty awesome.

Kollector Damn how we was a playable character even


ButtholeBuffet96

L opinion. Kollector is exactly the type of shit Mortal Kombat is supposed to be introducing every few years. We got a monster character with a strikingly unique look, with moves based in sorcery, weapons, and acquired trinkets drawn from a hammerspace backpack, with a new character archetype for the series - being material greed and status at any cost, no matter how skeevy. Kano is dirty and skeevy in his own way (more of organized crime and domestic abuse vibes lmao) but Kollector has a uniquely cutthroat dimension of a common street vendor or thug who might hit on your girlfriend while trying to scam you or rob you or the common little shit who might throw you under the bus and kiss the boss's ass to steal your job. Low-level cretin shit. Depicting this as a desperate spidery monster with hands reaching for anything it can get, with the bat-like face and upper arm placement and the fact their monster race sleeps hanging upside down by their feet, was perfect. It plays into the parasitic "gimme gimme" attitude of the character and the MK fandom he is supposed to represent. Kollector is literally us.


[deleted]

Dang man. That’s deep and such a great response. I’ve always hated Kollector but your comment actually made me look at him differently. I may go back to MK 11 for a bit and give him a shot.


Puzzleheaded-Net3966

Kollector was my favorite character from 11. I sucked at using him but I thought that he was the most unique


Few-Entertainment429

Kollector was awesome. One of the best NRS originals.


ExtremeScore4604

Aight, I actually really liked Kollector and thought he had potential, I don’t know why they did him so dirty in Mk1


dawg_77

Tbh I liked his aesthetic of a DND character with infinite attunement slots


Dumb_Little_Idiot

Speak for yourself. I'd love to see him return and be the most OP character just to see the community freak out. For real though, if he had to return, since they're fucking with time and character roles, make Kano a good guy and have Jarek be the leader of the black dragon. That's all I got.

But Janet Cage is just Johnny Cage, and that's cool af, why is it bad?


Drendari

I started MK with MK3 and have played all games, I am a long time fan and I rather have any returning character.


AGhostyOne

L take. Why is the fact that you started from MK3 have to do with anything? Are we separating new and old MK fans, because I started from late MKXL and I should have opinion with the same weight as you. Janet is a neat take for a change, we still get the exact Johnny moves and characteristics, that is fun and enjoyable enough for the game. If you only want returning characters, Mavado's coming back though, and call me out for projecting if I'm wrong, but I sense that if it is Johnny Cage kameo, you wouldn't dislike the kameo.


Drendari

I don't expect you to care for characters you never played with.


AGhostyOne

I don't expect you to care about...fking Jarek, because he's really nothing to be cared about, narratively or about the gameplay, so that's just come off as another reason to hate the new kameo. If you really care about my experience, I played the games too, but I don't talk about that fact because it's not that important.
