Board Thread:Mortal Kombat (Alternate Timeline)/@comment-26050254-20161107025545/@comment-30481187-20161112022455

I think it would be cool to see Raiden as a villainous-type character. He's been corrupted in both timelines now but has been shown as a tyrannical antihero at most (his Armageddon ending... Oh my god). If not a villain outright then maybe a boss character. I actually feel it's sort of tragic because Raiden was always one of my favorite heroes in Mortal Kombat, and for the longest time one of the most virtuous and merciful, but that started to slide downhill after his mistakes in MK9.

Personally, I hope the next game brings back Jade, Noob Saibot, Nitara, Ashrah, Havik, Erron Black... There's a lot of good characters, but I definitely missed some of the "classics" in MKX, even though it's overall roster is pretty dang good.

I doubt it would happen, but, IMO something that would be cool is if there was a game/storyline that crossed over the old and new timelines of Mortal Kombat, and the variations could turn into different incarnations of the same character (I.E: Goro was more neutral in the old timeline due to his friendship with Kitana and the acts that followed because of that, while in the new timeline he never got the chance to do those things because Kitana died too soon). The variations could not only play completely differently but have completely different personalities for their individual histories; Liu Kang could have a body form (Houan zombie from the original timeline with hook chains), mind form (corrupted MK9-MKX self who is now a revenant/leader of the Netherrealm), and soul form (ghost self from original timeline who remains good and moral).
