Board Thread:Mortal Kombat X/@comment-25163804-20140726203924

Last time, I talked about who might be returning in MKX from MK9. Here, the discussion will revolve around the new Mortal Kombat Characters and ideas for new characters.

The first new MKX character I wanna talk about is Cassie Cage, simply because she's the easiest. We all know she's the daughter of Sonya and Johnny Cage and her movesets are very similar to them. However, a fun piece of trivia: She is the only character whose X-Ray has not been caught on video, at least by the big guys (IGN, Gamespot, ETC.) If you have any video footage of Cassie's X-Ray, send me a link and I'll have a look.

Next, another fairly straightforward character is Kotal Kahn. He's supposedly based off of an Aztec war god, which would make sense considering his attire, which almost perfectly matches that of an elite class of Aztec warriors called the Eagle Warriors. One thing to note is that despite the name, his relation to Shao Kahn is unknown. If you have any evidence for or against the relations between Kotal Kahn and Shao Kahn, let me know so that I can see.

The following kombatants are more of a mystery, but it doesn't mean they are any less interesting. First up, D'Vorah. From what can be seen, she is a crafty fighter with a lot of tricks up her sleeve. Her motivations are unclear, but it appears that she sees Ferra as an offense to 'The Swarm', according to the second trailer. And, according to the Playstation E3 coverage for MKX (http://youtu.be/GAKI1tVONI0?t=2m51s), sees Scorpion as food for her young, based on what I can hear from the dialogue. Time will tell how D'vorah fits in.

Likewise, Ferra/Torr (From here on in referred to seperately) are similarly a mystery. What are their motivations for fighting? Are they siblings? Again, time will probably tell. Ferra seems to think she'll replace Kotal Kahn as 'the boss', evidenced here http://youtu.be/xqZ-4wivrUE?t=4m41s. Listen carefully to the dialogue, several times if you need, and you should be able to pick up on subtle hints. If she is tryign to replace Kotal Kahn as 'the boss', then perhaps Ferra's short stature is not to be underestimated (As if we didn't need any more evidence for this).

What do you think? Do you agree or disagree? Do you have any ideas for original characters? Comment below and let me know.

PS: Very important note, This discussion is for characters debuting in MKX only, and any confirmed returning characters will be mentioned over at my old discussion: Who Could Be Coming Back? However, any brand new characters will be mentioned ehre.
