MKRedemption19180 Exactly! Claws, teeth and typical feline brutality. That's what Kintaro needs for his gameplay.

Kintaro could have a fatality like this: he stabs his opponent in the ribs with both lower hands, piercing their abdomen with their claws. He then lifts the opponent with the same hands, causing him/her even more pain, until his/her chest is at the height of his face. He stabs both upper claws in the middle of his/her chest and tears pieces of its flesh away with their claws before finally biting it ferouciously, ripping out the enemy's heart with his teeth and then completely eating it. He bites the pratically empty and still open chest three more times and then punches the almost unconscious opponent in the face, which throws him/her two meters away. Finally, the camera closes up at his bloodied face and he roars at the screen, wetting it with drops of blood, before the announcer says "Fatality!".

I think it would be funny to have this fatality because in MK9 he threatens Kung Lao by telling him "I will eat your heart!" before they fight. He would be giving a practical example, and it would be even better if Kung Lao makes it to the game as well and someone who's playing as Kintaro executes him with this fatality, as Kintaro would have "fulfilled his promise".

About his story, he could become some sort of general of the Tigrar lineage and confront Goro, Sheeva and the rest of the Draco lineage directly, to try to end their rivalry once and for all. He would prove himself worthy of leading his fellow Tigrar shokans through his multiple victories in kombat when he served Shao Kahn. He could also lead the Tigrar to make up with the Draco peacefully, by having them aiding each other in war, but I doubt Kintaro would try to do such a diplomatic and non-violent thing.

Also, which side should Goro pick in this new MK? Would he serve Kotal Kahn just like he did with Shao Kahn, and just because he's the new emperor of Outworld? I don't think so. After Shao Kahn's death/abduction, he must have turned back to his people in Kuatan, and lead them as an independent prince. But with Kotal's ascension, would he choose to be loyal to him or to rebel against him? In case of a rebellion, we would have armies of shokans against the new emperor. How would that be?
