So I missed a healthy portion of the 3D era of Mortal Kombat games – the most egregious of which was apparently Mortal Kombat: Deception. So, WellPlayed’s resident Kombatants Ash and Adam present to you the six deadset legends that we want to punch on with in Mortal Kombat 1. īut that doesn’t stop us fans from enjoying the initial speculate-a-thon in the leadup to a game having its full roster revealed. Christ, some characters appear in a game but remain unplayable! RIP in peace to my Baraka homies for Mortal Kombat X, and my Cyrax and Sektor dudes for Mortal Kombat 11. For some, they have actually cleverly aligned their favourite character with someone who they thought was rock solid and guaranteed, only to get blitzed in the 11th hour by a shocking omission. The series has a roster of roughly 77 unique characters that span over 31 years on this Earth of ours, so each game has the impossible task of deciding who gets a spot (apart from Armageddon, I guess) and who is relegated to angry fan discussions. A new Mortal Kombat game looms – and with it, an ancient discussion – who do we desperately WANT to be in the game.
Look, this hardly needs explaining at this point.
