New Characters in Mortal Kombat 1

Mortal Kombat 1 is notable for its lack of entirely new characters in the main roster. The game focuses on established characters, revamping their stories and appearances to fit the rebooted universe [5:1]. This approach allows NetherRealm Studios (NRS) to explore the depths of existing characters, providing them with new backstories and designs [5:8]. Some fans appreciate this focus on familiar faces, while others miss the excitement of discovering new characters [4:1].

Notable Reimaginings

While there are no new characters per se, several characters have been significantly reimagined. For instance, Raiden, Li Mei, and Tanya have undergone changes that make them feel like fresh additions despite their historical presence in the franchise [4:1]. Additionally, Floyd, a non-playable character, serves as a nod to classic secret fights and incorporates powers from various ninjas [4:9].

Potential for Future Additions

There is speculation and hope among fans that new characters might be introduced through future DLC packs or updates. Characters like Harumi are mentioned as potential candidates for future inclusion [5:7]. This possibility keeps the community engaged and hopeful for new content beyond the current roster.

Community Reception

The reception to the absence of new characters has been mixed. While some players appreciate the return of fan-favorite characters and the opportunity to see them in new lights [4:2], others express disappointment at the lack of newcomers [4:3]. Discussions often highlight the balance between nostalgia and innovation, with some players preferring a roster filled with beloved characters and others yearning for fresh faces [5:8].

In summary, Mortal Kombat 1's approach to character selection emphasizes reimagining established characters rather than introducing new ones, allowing for deeper exploration of the franchise's rich history while leaving room for potential future expansions.

Will mk1 not have any new characters? I haven’t seen anyone say anything about new characters even though we’ve gotten new characters in almost every game

I'm expecting 2 new characters at most. They're probably trying to stick with familiar characters for the reboot and just retell the origins.

Yeah me too. I’m not expecting many new characters but it was just weird to me that I’ve not seen any leaks say that there will be new characters and I’ve not seen people talk about new characters

Well, if you've been looking at leaks and you don't see new characters it's probably true at this point. There's a leak that was proven true that I've been avoiding, and if you're privy to the leaks you probably already spoiled yourself to the starting roster. They're pulling an MK9 and revamping the story.

Other than the DLC characters, I don't think we'll be getting any new faces. I actually wanted a mostly clean slate with this release to see them test the boundaries of their creativity when it comes to making new kombatants. But if this is a way to establish this new universe and then, maybe with Kombat Pack 2, give us some new faces, I wouldn't be upset.

What do you think of the new fighter karacters added in MK1 so far?

Posted by godsibi · in r/MortalKombat · 5 months ago

The main roster in MK1 has been fire since they cherry picked some of the fan favourites from the history of MK (minus Jade 😅). That said, we eventually got some newcomers through kameos and secret levels. What do you folks think about them and would you like to see them in the main roster in future installments?

I'm fine with this gender swap, mostly because it's explicitly from a different timeline where Johnny is a woman. If she replaced regular Johnny, that'd suck, but she's a fun addition for an alternate universe pick.

Bloodyknife12 · 5 months ago

I don't think Janet counts, it literally id just an alternative Johnny cage. Madam Bo is odd because gameplay wise.she is half Bo Rai Cho and half turns you into Bo Rai Cho, while personality wise they aren't all that similar aside from being the mentors of the shaolin monk duo, I don't know if we will ever see a time with both Madam Bo and Bo Rai Cho together in the same game. And Floyd is cool, I hope he's a new ninja with light/refraction/rainbow powers and not a rebranding of chameleon, though I wouldn't blame them for it, having two different characters with the same name damn near, the same gimmick, and they look the same is just confusing as shit and Khameleon is more relevant

NeonBlueVelvet · 5 months ago

Khameleon uses all female powers. Floyd gets the males.

How sick would it be to have Khameleon use Jade, Kitana, Mileena, maybe Frost and Skarlet. Then Floyd have Smoke, Sub, Scorpion, Ermac, Reptile, Noob. Or some combo of those cause that’s a lot honestly.

New Characters in MK1

Posted by Jegemurk · in r/MortalKombat · 2 years ago

I know there are still more trailers to come out but what do you all think about them adding new original characters in MK1? Since it is a reimaging of the story from the beginning, do you think it's less likely that they'll add completely new characters? I'm not considering guest characters as new in this case.

Raiden, Li Mei and Tanya might as well be brand new characters for how much they actually resemble previous versions.

But yeah, my biggest problem with the roster has always been the lack of new characters. It baffles me when I see people calling this the best roster of the NRS era when there is not a single newcomer until Floyd who isn't even playable.

I only speak for myself, but I finally got Reiko, Tanya, Quan Chi, Kenshi, Havik, Nitara, Li Mei and Sareena in a single game's roster after nearly 20 years, plus the majority of the rest of the roster is MKII, a decent amout of MK3 reps, the male ninjas are all here for those that wanted those ninjas...and we also got Takeda, Geras and kameo Ferra.

Only thing that would have made this roster better for me would have been playable Sareena, Mavado, Darrius and Shujinko, but yeah, for me this is definitely the best roster we've had in a long while.

A Kharacter I came up with was Tiamat, who was originally supposed to be in Deadly Alliance before Reptile stole the look and she was scrapped. She could be a Zetarran like Reptile, but can't transform into a human. An idea I had for her stemmed from Reptile's ending, where it's alluded that there's been more Zetarrans like him but they were executed. Thought that maybe Tiamat could be the party responsible for this.

Her weapon would be a walking cane that is, in actuality, a shepard's axe, that she would use in tandem with her large, Zetarran frame.

Other ideas I had were to make Hydro, Meat, Mokap, and Tasia actually Kharacters instead of extremely minor or joke ones.

Not unpopular. MK fans obviously want to see MK characters. Even Tekken fans didn't like seeing guests in their last game. They had 4 in the end. MK1 is already at 6!

Seems like SF6 is also going to lean more into guests, 2 right now, but at least they both are practically from the same universe so it makes sense. Unlike MK where Omniman gets to beat up a dude in a halloween costume lol.

I desperately and unironically want Madam Bo as a playable character that somehow incorporates her tea in her moveset. Like Triborg, drinking different teas gives you different stances and abilities. Like green/black/matcha translates to zoning/grappling/rush down or something equally as ridiculous.

Yes, it was even stated in a Ed Boon interview that there's only established characters in the game. So I expect only old characters to return, unless they add a character who's technically old, but gets a completely new look and backstory for example Harumi and or Fujin.

Guys, guys, there should be a total of 25 characters on the base roster (1 of them is Shang Tsung, the bonus preorder character). So besides the 19 playable characters plus Shang Tsung, there are 5 other spots that are undetermined!

R00000r has had discussions with other users on Gamefaqs and it has been pinpointed that these last 5 spots are for some of Baraka, Cyrax, D'vorah, Erron Black, Jax, Kano, Kintaro, Rain, Shao Kahn, or Sonya. So some of your favorites could still make it on the base roster. 😎🐙😸

SLCSlayer29 · 2 years ago

I promise you that I'm not toying with you. The rumor out there is that Ermac and Takeda were originally on the base roster but then a decision was made to switch them to the first DLC Kombat pack (probably because they would sell). That means that 2 other characters (whose identity we don't know) got switched to the base roster.

I'm not sure if those 2 characters are Baraka or Kano or Rain or Sonya or someone else I listed.

It's been speculated that Cyrax and Kintaro could be in a DLC Kombat pack 2. But the others I listed have been pinpointed to take up the last 5 remaining spots. Who will it be? R00000r has been tight-lipped about it and from what I can tell doesn't want to leak anything further.

SLCSlayer29 · 2 years ago

I believe someone had a conversation with r00000r where he strongly implied that Jade wasn't on the base roster, although she was in the story mode.

Interesting that Ashrah, Li Mei, and Tanya are included since they were pretty minor characters in the overall storyline previously.

Nitara was at least in the movie so I guess I can see why she's included, Havik was pretty minor as well but he was in some of the endings of the previous game so I guess I see why he's still considered important enough.

DreamedJewel58 · 2 years ago

Ed Boon’s talked a lot throughout the years about bringing back minor characters and reintroducing them to a new game/audience

One thing that is extremely major this new canon is that the timeline is 100% flexible and they’re now able to completely change up characters who are around. Previously unknown or background characters now have an opportunity to receive some limelight, while characters we have seen for years will be able to slowly develop in the background since we already know pretty much everything about them

One of my favorite things in franchises is mixing things up and allowing relatively unknown characters to be seen in a new light and have a new opportunity. I can’t wait to see this new timeline develop as the years go on

New characters in mortal kombat 1

Key Considerations for New Characters in Mortal Kombat 1:

Character Roster: Mortal Kombat 1 introduces several new characters alongside returning favorites. Familiarize yourself with the new additions to understand their abilities and fighting styles.
Unique Abilities: Each character typically has unique special moves and fatalities. Explore their movesets to find which characters suit your playstyle.
Lore and Background: New characters often come with rich backstories that enhance the game's narrative. Understanding their motivations can deepen your engagement with the game.
Balance and Matchups: Pay attention to how new characters are balanced against existing ones. This can affect competitive play and strategy.
Community Feedback: Keep an eye on community discussions and feedback regarding the new characters, as players often share tips and strategies that can be beneficial.

Takeaways:

Check out the official Mortal Kombat website or community forums for detailed character breakdowns.
Experiment with different characters in practice mode to find your favorites.
Stay updated on patches or balance changes that may affect character performance post-launch.

Recommendation: If you're looking to master a new character, consider starting with one that has a straightforward moveset to get accustomed to the game's mechanics before diving into more complex characters.
