But yes, I agree, KP2 needs a huge mainstay MK character and a huge guest. I've needed Mileena ever since this fan art:
God damn it
the mileena fan arts have all been absolutely terrible but fuck this one looks fire
It wouldn't be that difficult if they stopped relying on lazy physics for the capes like in Injustice.
There's a reason other devs handle capes just fine : they Key frame the cape.
Just needs a little redesign to be more feasible, like the Snes game did and it's gonna be fine.

Are you being real now ? Literally promise of first two games are you know video game crossovers. Rest is just homage to their old japaneese crossovers. Mortal Kombat wont have any Japanese(or Western like DoomGuy) video game guest characters ever. Midway was always other dude while japan side was another side of story. SNK,Capcom,Namco were always friendly and included their characters/allowed usage of their IP's . Heck they even did crossover game few years back in 3DS.
Mortal Kombat is mortal kombat. Guests are chosen because dev teams like that character , dev teams is chicago based and most of their history comes from american movies/american comics etc. So horror characters things like Spawn fits perfectly. Or chosen because of money / wb dictate like Scorpion in injustice,Joker in MK11,Kratos in MK9 (which is win win for both sides MK9 was reboot and needed exposure and GoW3 was super hot that days,Kratos was big icon and PS3 needed all marketing deals it could get).
So why would Warner Bros go and make deal with Capcom a lesser company in terms of profit to promote lets say Dante or Ryu or Mr.X . Which all are pointless. Mortal Kombat and WB is bigger than Capcom. There is no point of making deals with them instead they could go and make movie / comic characters and bring different audience.

Ew fuck that mouth. Why people like that horrendeous look over berserker / tarkatan look
What's with the attitude? And your argument still doesn't make any sense to me. Soulcalibur is a Japanese series that has had Western guest characters like Spawn, Darth Vader, Yoda, Kratos, Ezio, and Geralt.
Who said this? Could you please provide a quote?
"Lazy physics".
There are lots of issues with key framing giant capes -> you never know what the previous state was, which is what flowing things rely on. You can end up with issues where it's rippling one way then just snaps to a different position.
That said, Spawn's cape is living and pretty starched, so they could probably get away with it. They keyed a lot of Batman's cape too. But the larger the cape the more noticeable the keyed issues become.
Soul Calibur gets guests characters that are bigger than its own IP to promote itself. Mortal Kombat is bigger than all Japanese game you guys are mentioning and bigger than Doom too. It makes no sense to get promotion from and lesser known IP. Thats why they focus on different audience and bigger characters like Terminator,Joker,Predator etc.
If Star Wars ever table for Injustice after EA deals end i'm sure they will try that too.
Why would promoting Resident Evil character bring to table ? Those who play Resident evil already heard MK11 . If they have interest in it they will buy it. Who in the mind going to say omg Nemesis in MK11 i have to buy it now !!! But people say that for Spawn,Joker etc because different target audiences.
They will better focusing on Mortal Kombat characters rather than making nobody knows like Doomguy(which literally makes 0 sense and will never happen in smash or MK ) or unrelated game stars.
Well they can interpolate between frames which is what most games did outside of Arcsystem works that made all of it manually (like MVC3).
They had to manually touch up Batman's cape because it was used in moves.
Superman's cape was a joke.
They can easily redesign Spawn's cape to be more like the Snes videogame, then the solution to making it look good should not pose much problems considering how talented their artists are.
But yes relying too heavily on physics would lead to another Superman, which is lazy and terrible. I don't think they would do that to Spawn though.
Resident Evil - 91 million copies sold
Mortal Kombat - 49 million copies sold
???
I love that idea, but that's already kinda the vibe I get from Noob. He even
says in his ending that he has gone by many names or something like that.
Street Fighter fathered Mortal Kombat. Let's not pretend that up until very recently that Mortal Kombat games didn't play like total jank when compared to its Japanese peers. If I was a Japanese developer I wouldn't want my brand tangled up with that jank from the early 2000's either.

If NRS got Capcom's permission to use one of their popular characters in MK as DLC, I have no doubt NRS would be all over that. However, I don't think it's something WB/NRS would actively pursue.
If I were Capcom, I wouldn't want one of my characters getting hacked up in the specific way they do in MK. The only thing I'd let them use would be one of the fodder zombies from RE, and no named characters like Nemesis or Wesker.

Not saying they should go for it but Leon death scenes in RE games is like a fatality reel anyway, if you did ANY named character why not him?
Hypothetically, if it were my decision at Capcom, no I would not want Leon or any other character from RE in MK. Despite the fact that they can get violently destroyed by zombies in RE games, the narative, context, and feel is different and controlled by Capcom in RE games as part of an overall survival horror experience, unlike MK. I don't think just because the death scenes are gory means they should be OK with it out of context like a 1v1 battle like in MK.
Also this makes me think how they are gonna handle rest of DLC and Joker.
Pretty surprising that Joker isnt in first pack.
Movie is out on October.
We have shang for june
July for spawn(comicccon)
August for Nightwolf
Sept Sindel
October Ash/halloween
November T100 (movie)
This is only thinking like if they release monthly characters hopefully. Considering they released two dlcs in other NRS games life to date in this period some might argue we may get 1.5 months delays between them. Maybe they will both release rest of MK during evo who knows.
But its very unlikely they will able to capture movie hype during that period. Also making Joker first to come out in kombat pack2 would sour people bit.
Very interesting how they are gonna handle dlc
It's Ed Boon so always assume troll
Nvm- official account, I don't think it means much more than we're getting a character announced.
Akuma can finally get his first kill.

I get the weird Japanese developer pride thing and all (Actually, I don't) but Hideki Kamiya really wants Bayo in the game.
Sounds good tbh
LEAST WE FORGET he actually fatalities someone in the Story Mode. Its perfect.
I mean, Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi have said something regarding Ash and Evil Dead is coming September 2019, when asked months ago they said it had nothing to do with Mortal Kombat.
So it's the other way around, they are getting something for Evil Dead and Ash DLC will be the "promo" in a way.
Terminator in November like you said, so really the only one out was Spawn since we don't have the movie out yet.
Also the dialogues clearly show Joker is just bitch ass Injustice Joker so maybe they wanted to remake him a bit to fit the new movie ?
Ash and Joker were the least advanced DLC characters but Ash seems like he's somewhat confirmed with the chainsaw audio cue.
Oni IS fucking awesome. I want SFVI to be a bunch of Oni clones. IDGAF.
Btw check your discord DM lol.
If KP2 is 6 people as well, then Mileena, Takeda and Havik alongside Joker, Sheeva, and Fujin would be ideal
or just John Wick
or just John Wick
How is it any different than Sonya getting her head ripped off?
If they put him in, i think they would up his power level, hehe. I don't think they would put him in though.
He'd transform from his younger self when using the older skin.
I don't know if I'm mistaken but hasn't Boone mentioned that if they could add a SF character it would be Ken.
I was mostly joking, it would be a little weird though considering how invincible he is in the movies
