I remember tweeting Ed Boon way back in the MK9 days and he mentioned/confirmed that Ryu Hayabusa from the *Ninja Gaiden* series was also considered as an Xbox exclusive guest too. As for MK11, it's a crime those cool designs of Cyrax, Sektor, and Ermac went unused.
Mortal Kombat 13 I guess lol. Or they ignore all that have return to the OG timeline. Having it be some sort of fever dream Raiden had due to Shao Kahn hitting him so hard. Just going from where Armageddon left off and aside from reworking post-reboot characters in, pretending everything after it for the most part never happened...
@@gjtrueunfortunately that doesn’t sound good either. We already had 2 whole resets and making a third reset that just ignores the past 3 games is just lazy and a slap in the face for everyone.
@@gjtrue that’s one of the problems that NRS has been struggling with for a long time, there’s merit in restarting everything from scratch but keeping continuity without falling into old tropes or repeating the same mistakes is challenging. Personally the multiverse stuff is lazy but digestible for me however it became a massive crutch. If they wanted the Chaos Reigns to make any sense for happening, they had to dig through their older stuff and there was a perfect solution. Sorry if this is dragging on but I can’t tell you how disappointing it is when you can figure out a better story while still staying in line with what NRS gave us like Emperor Rain explaining how hydromancy is straining to control in Havik’s world or that Havik from MK 11 Aftermath experimented with Gearas’s body and learned how to anchor himself in the middle of Fire God Liu Kang and Shang Tsung’s final battle to permanently create the entire multiverse.
I guarantee Warner bros saw how much a story mode cost and said no to that dlc ever again. Story mode needs scaled back anyways as we can see that mode got the most polish while everything else took a backseat
One timer I remember hearing was Kai being a possible candidate for MK X but they didn’t get far into development or figure out how to program/develop his handstand moves. What upsets me the most is Fujin getting axed twice before he was playable again in MK 11, he’s such a fun and creatively tangible character
I remember the Mortal Kombat Online website's Fight Night chat to ask the developers about MK vs DC, my submission asking "what sort of DLC can we expect to see" in an open-ended way, and then someone ELSE steered an ask towards characters, where we got the Quan Chi mention in the chat. To this day, I remember that interaction.
7:51 This is actually untrue. There are intro dialogs for Jade (alongside Kung Jin and Cassie) hidden in the files that have been there since the game's release. Sonya and Kano are the ones that have absolutely no proof of being planned.
You did miss that Kintaro was actually officially announced as a dlc character for mk9. I still own the magazine where he, kenshi, and Skarlet were announced
So disappointing that Sektor didn't make it into MK11 as playable. He had such a cool new design and it just went to waste. I hate the guest characters too. I'd way rather have mk characters in their slots.
@0:44 This here STILL makes me angry to this day Marcus Fenix from Gears Of War was the perfect and only fit to be in Mortal Kombat, but never happened
I just bought MK1 with the expansion pack for under $40 a few weeks ago and would have liked to have had the male versions of Cyrax and Sector be playable vs. just cameos. Hopefully we'll get them as skins before the game gets completely shut down.
NRS biggest sin is not letting us play Sektor in mk11 with that BANGER design
You get woke Ketchup & Mustard in MK1
Or Rain in Mortal Kombat X
Not to forget Peak Ermac in mk11
@mrrattrap1488 dropping him on some spikes hurt man

Ryu would have been an awesome addition to MK. Definitely fits in.
Kinda strange how both fujin and nightwolf arent in the new era since they both helped liu kang get the crown.
Unfortunate I was looking forward to seeing fujin as potential DLC and an story expansion on General Shao rebellion and onaga in mk1

@@jaidora facts I would rather they just continue with mk1's timeline and hopefully do it right next time
@@jaidora True. Just annoys me as a long time MK fan and lore nerd that the series is such an unfocused, questionably written MESS nowadays.

It was also told that Skarlet was supposed to be in MKX as DLC but they ended up putting her in the MKX Comic book
mk 2011 also had tanya voiceline too
So disappointing that Sektor didn't make it into MK11 as playable. He had such a cool new design and it just went to waste.
I hate the guest characters too. I'd way rather have mk characters in their slots.
Kronika was suppose to be playable in MK11 as well, rip…
I’m glad she wasn’t
You actually forgot the cancellation of Ash Williams as a guest character in MK11.
That's covered in the other video
He mentioned it 5:06
@8:28
Mostly likely Khaos Reigns sold poorly, more than likely we won’t be getting a Kombat Pack 3 for MK1
@0:44
This here STILL makes me angry to this day
Marcus Fenix from Gears Of War was the perfect and only fit to be in Mortal Kombat, but never happened
I want sonya, kano and jade for mk1 so bad!
How are you doing, bud?
@4:45
General RAAM became a fighter in Killer Instinct, and he is the first character from Gears to become a fighter in general
The myth known as, lol, Fate unknown is either Ed Boon or Boon adjacent. Maybe the mythical Tobias. Lmfao
I could be misremembering but wasn’t Johnny Cage also planned for MKvDC?
Wasn’t worth mentioning MK1 leaker already jumped ship he got fed the wrong info
Can you do more videos like these but with other fighting games? I know for sure that Street Fighter and Tekken have plenty of cancelled characters.
I just bought MK1 with the expansion pack for under $40 a few weeks ago and would have liked to have had the male versions of Cyrax and Sector be playable vs. just cameos. Hopefully we'll get them as skins before the game gets completely shut down.
Fujin would have been interesting to see MK9. Especially his design.
MY LEGGSS
I swear there was word on Tanya being potential DLC for 9? Maybe i’m remembering wrong
I'm still sad that Ash Williams got cut from mk11.
Just Rise above our dissolution
Kung jin😢😢
I love fujin
Nice
