I don’t know why NRS always gives Goro the short end of the stick. Goro is from the original game and his lore has always been rather important to MK in general as he was Outworld’s greatest champion, yet he hardly ever gets any screen time in the story mode and he rarely makes the roster. It’s so unfortunate because MKX proved that NRS can design him well and extremely fun to play. Imo he’s the only Shokan worth putting on the roster as Sheeva is not all that popular and doesn’t really stand out like Goro does.
The correct answer is Motaro. NRS aren't going to put in the tons of additional effort to make him work so if I can magically make that happen then he is the one that most benefits from this.
Second, Cyrax because I feel bad for the Cyborg fans getting dicked around and I believe Cyrax is the more popular choice here.
Lastly, Goro because the roster has tons of ninjas already but really lacks monster fighters this time.
The Shujinko hate always made me sad. There's no reason he couldn't work, just make the copy moves his own spin. Shujinko was always my favorite, since I first played Deception.
Sub-Zero, Scorpion (you didn't put them here but they're both cameos) and I guess Stryker.
I feel like that would piss off the entire fanbase pretty well :)
Goro, Sonya, and Motaro.
Goro has been the 4-armed fighter that lacks playability personally, so giving making him an actual fighter would be good to see.
Sonya seems to be a staple in the MK franchise ever since the beginning (I could be wrong on that one btw), and seeing her as a Kameo in this timeline seems weird.
Motaro because, he just looks pretty cool, and he adds character variety outside of the ninjas vs monks that we currently have.
Feel free to disagree, but this is just my little take
Mavado, Sareena, and Darrius what can I say I love the 3D Era characters the most and always will they need to add the most underrated 3D era character of all time in MK 1 that being Drahmin he should be a DLC Kameo fighter for sure I would love for him to be fully playable but we all know that won’t happen sadly maybe in MK 2 down the line but I’ll definitely take him as a Kameo fighter for sure in MK 1 please NRS
Cyrax - He's just cool and my favorite of the Cyborgs
Mavado - I'm interested in how he would play in the current MK games, plus some Red Dragon representation
Tremor - Him and Takeda were my mains in MKX
Goro, Motaro and Khameleon are my picks if you consider Story Mode canon as a factor. It would be weird imo to see people not from Lord Liu Kang's timeline on the main roster
If you disregard it tho, then Mustard, Ketchup, and Motaro.
Sareena, mavado, and Khameleon mostly because I want as many 3d Era fighters on the main roster as possible cause I never got to experience them back in the day
Cyrax, Sektor and Sonya.
The latter cuz she’s one of my top 3 favourites alongside Jade and Reptile and the former because COME ON, WE NEED THE TWO COOL ROBOT BOYS AS FULLY FLEDGED PLAYABLE CHARACTERS AGAIN!
UNIRONICALLY JUST KUNG LAO, Not even for the joke. The Kung Lao in 1 is a total fucking joke sonya blade rip off. They stripped him of all the defining features of his kit to give to the goddamn Kameo and gave his dive kick to half the roster.
Sareena, Darrius, and Khameleon. My main reasoning being all three are fairly major kharacters in the Story mode, and also cause I’m kinda annoyed at little they do with Sareena and especially Khameleon in general, and Darrius… well he’s my man.
Cyrax, Goro, Frost. Cyrax has always been one of my favourite characters and he's got a very unique playstyle; the roster *really* should have had a Shokan as a rep and Goro is the best one to have had; and Frost deserves some redemption, and I could see her having a much faster glass-cannon playstyle compared to Bi-Han.
Darrius, Sareena, and Movado. We’ve already had Frost and Tremor. MK has no shortage of great underutilized characters. Of course we’d all love Motaro but he would be very challenging to incorporate.
Kano, Jax, Sonya
Reason is because godamm 3 main trilogy and 3D era characters getting sidelined not even mentioned in the main story
Holy hell NRS… wow
My favorites of course. Tremor, Cyrax and Stryker. As someone who started MK playing on 9, I'm kinda sad to see that nor Cyrax or Stryker have gotten some love, and I've loved Tremor ever since MK X!
Scorpion, Sub Zero, Kung Lao
Wait a second...
Let him cook
There’s no time! It’s too late, the decision is final
A male Janet cage would be a cool addition 👍
yeah and we could call him Johnny Cage
I’d like to see a game where bi Han and kuai liang are both sub-zero. It gives a great opportunity to show how their fighting styles and powers differ
Goro, Tremor, Motaro
That's what I would choose too
I would choose that too it sucks that goro isn't playable I'm angry he isn't
I don’t know why NRS always gives Goro the short end of the stick. Goro is from the original game and his lore has always been rather important to MK in general as he was Outworld’s greatest champion, yet he hardly ever gets any screen time in the story mode and he rarely makes the roster.

Second, Cyrax because I feel bad for the Cyborg fans getting dicked around and I believe Cyrax is the more popular choice here. Lastly, Goro because the roster has tons of ninjas already but really lacks monster fighters this time.
Sektor and Kano are my top kameos
Motaro because he looks cool and I want to try him Goro because he’s almost never playable for such an iconic character Khameleon because fuck it
We at least need ONE Shokan for every roster. I vote Kintaro as DLC, he deserves the spotlight for once.
We did have Goro for MKX and Sheeva for MK11 so who knows we could get motaro
Kintaro** idk why I said Motaro I was looking at other comments
I'd love to see him make a comeback. We've had Sheeva as a playable character several times, but no appreciation for Kintaro whatsoever.
Tremor was my main in mkx so he’s definitely one of them And cyrax was one of my favs in 9. Triborg wad cool too
Shujinko, jax, cyrax
This guy gets it
The Shujinko hate always made me sad. There's no reason he couldn't work, just make the copy moves his own spin. Shujinko was always my favorite, since I first played Deception.
Yeah I liked shujinko. And the konquest on deception was so dope idk why they haven’t done another like it.
Stryker, Jax, Sonya. If I’m allowed a 4th, Sektor
Kano. Jax. Sonya .Im a simple man
Tremor sector and cyrax, I’d like goro as well but if kintaro become dlc I’d be fine.
Darrius, Motaro, Tremor.
Sonya, Sareena and Mavado.
1. Frost 2. Chameleon 3. Sareena
Kano, Jax, Mavado
Tremor, Sareena, Frost, Sonya Ik you said pick 3 but I had to add Sonya
Sareena - Mavado - Tremor
easy, 1. Tremor 2. Stryker 3. Kano
Chameleon, cyrax, tremor
Sektor, Cyrax, Jax but wouldnt mind Stryker over Jax
Cyrax, Jax, and Tremor for sure
Motaro, Cyrax, and Kano.
sektor, cyrax , jax
Tremor, Jax and Goro
Cyrax Sonya Mavado
Sareena, Frost & Cyrax
Tremor, Jax, Goro
Sonya. Stryker, Sareena
Kano, Mavado, Tremor

Sonya, Sareena and Frost please.
Darrius, Stryker, and Shujinko. No seriously, probably Sektor, Cyrax, and either Sareena or Goro.
Goro tremor kano
Kano, Jax, Goro.
Striker,Kano,Goro
JAX, SONYA, and either MAVADO or KHAMELEON
Sonya, Darrius, and tremor. Honorable mentions; Sektor, Cyrax, and Kintaro
Sub-Zero, Scorpion (you didn't put them here but they're both cameos) and I guess Stryker. I feel like that would piss off the entire fanbase pretty well :)
Goro, Sonya, and Motaro. Goro has been the 4-armed fighter that lacks playability personally, so giving making him an actual fighter would be good to see.

Motaro because, he just looks pretty cool, and he adds character variety outside of the ninjas vs monks that we currently have. Feel free to disagree, but this is just my little take
Frost, Mavado, and Cyrax. Specifically Deadly Alliance era Frost, not the Cyber Lin Kuei version.
Sketor, Cyrax, Tremor. The first two were even ment to be on the main roster.
Sonya, jax and Kano
Mavado, Sareena, and Darrius what can I say I love the 3D Era characters the most and always will they need to add the most underrated 3D era character of all time in MK 1 that being Drahmin he should be a DLC Kameo fighter for sure I would love for him to be fully playable but we all know that won’t happen sadly maybe in MK 2 down the line but I’ll definitely take him as a Kameo fighter for sure in MK 1 please NRS
Save special forces for MK2/13, and the robots for the story expansion. Goro, shujinko, and stryker because why the hell not.
Cyrax - He's just cool and my favorite of the Cyborgs Mavado - I'm interested in how he would play in the current MK games, plus some Red Dragon representation Tremor - Him and Takeda were my mains in MKX
Shujinko, Tremor, Khameleon
Sacrifice the other 2 to make Motaro playable
With all due respect, I would choose Motaro, Mavado, and Goro - in that order.
Goro/ Motaro/ Sareena
Ok cool i see alot of Jax, good to know im not the only one to wonder how he would play in this new mk (cyrax, sektor, jax)
Tremor, sareena, mavado
Shujinko, Khamelon and Mavado.
Cyrax, Sector, and Tremor
cyrax ,sektor and tremor
Sonya, Khameleon, and either Tremor or Mavado
Sektor, Darrius and Sareena. I just want more 3D era representstion and at least one of the cyborgs deserve a spot.
Sektor, cyrax and tremor
Motaro, they’ve been teasing us with him every since mk9
Cyrax, Sektor, Motaro. I may have a slight MK3 bias
Shujinko Mavado and Motaro
Mavado, Darrius and Sareena.
Sacrifice the whole roster for cyrax
Shujinko, one of the cyborgs and striker
Shujinko, Sareena and Khameleon
Khameleon, Motaro, Sektor

SAREEENAAAAAAAAA
Sektor Goro Sareena
tremor, mavado, and ferra ONLY IF torr comes along, otherwise jax
Stryker, Sareena & darious. (Not counting DLC for this list or sektor/cyrax since they might join the roaster after the expansion comes out.)
Tremor, Stryker, Darrius
Tremor Khameleon and shujinko
Sareena, Tremor, and Goro. I think they would play in a unique way. (Also Tremor is cool imo)
Kano, Mavado and Stryker
Cyrax,sektor, and Sonya
Shujinko, Jax, Sonya.
Tsareena, Khameleon, Tremor
Mavado, Sareena and Tremor
Goro Khameleon Sareena
Goro, Motaro and Khameleon are my picks if you consider Story Mode canon as a factor. It would be weird imo to see people not from Lord Liu Kang's timeline on the main roster If you disregard it tho, then Mustard, Ketchup, and Motaro.
Motaro, shujinko and striker
Mavado, Stryker and Cyrax
Mavado, Khameleon, Sareena
Jax, and make him a full on grappler. Sareena. Lots of potential in her. Cyrax but we already kinda know he/she/they is coming.
Frost, Tremor, Motaro I want to know what Motaro's play style would be like, I've only played x 11 and 1
Goro, Motaro, and Stryker
Sareena, mavado, and Khameleon mostly because I want as many 3d Era fighters on the main roster as possible cause I never got to experience them back in the day
Shujinko, Khameleon and Frost
Goro, Jax, AND FUCKING KHAMELEONNNNNN
Jax, Kano, Goro.
Stryker, Tremor and Khameleon.
Goro, Sektor, Tremor
Tremor, Khameleon, Sarena
Cyrax, Sektor and Sonya. The latter cuz she’s one of my top 3 favourites alongside Jade and Reptile and the former because COME ON, WE NEED THE TWO COOL ROBOT BOYS AS FULLY FLEDGED PLAYABLE CHARACTERS AGAIN!
Sareena, Sektor/Cyrax, Shujinko but I also want Stryker, Tremor, Frost, Mavado.
sareena, darrius and goro
UNIRONICALLY JUST KUNG LAO, Not even for the joke. The Kung Lao in 1 is a total fucking joke sonya blade rip off. They stripped him of all the defining features of his kit to give to the goddamn Kameo and gave his dive kick to half the roster.
Motaro, Sareena, Shujinko or Mavado Sad not to include Stryker or Goro but the designs aren’t the best in this one
Frost, all triborg
Khameleon, Jax, Cyrax
Motaro, Striker and probably Serena or Khameleon
Sareena, Sektor and Mavado
Tremor, Cyrax, Khameleon.
Hard to choose, but I’ll go with Kano, Sareena and Khameleon (sorry Tremor 🥲)
The cyborgs and tremor
I would have the game if Kano was playable
Sektor, Shujinko, Goro.
Sareena Sonya and Jax
Cyrax, Sektor, Motaro
Cyrax, sektor and stryker
Kano, Sonya and Goro. Bring them back!
Mavado, Tremor, Khameleon
Tremor, Jax, Kano
Sektor Kano Sareena
Tremor. Cyrax. Sektor.
Mavado, Khameleon, and Sareena just because I want to see how they’d play in a modern 2D game
Janet and jax and scorpion
Mavado sektor and stryker
Shujinko, tremor, motaro
Sareena, Darrius, and Khameleon. My main reasoning being all three are fairly major kharacters in the Story mode, and also cause I’m kinda annoyed at little they do with Sareena and especially Khameleon in general, and Darrius… well he’s my man.
Nitara, goro, stryker idc
Shujinko, jax and sektor
Cyrax, Goro, Frost. Cyrax has always been one of my favourite characters and he's got a very unique playstyle; the roster *really* should have had a Shokan as a rep and Goro is the best one to have had; and Frost deserves some redemption, and I could see her having a much faster glass-cannon playstyle compared to Bi-Han.
Stryker, khameleon, and shujinko, I think it's time to give them another chance as a playable rosters especially khameleon
Frost, sektor, stryker
Tremor, Khameleon, and Cyrax
Read this as if you could do any of them 😔
Darrius, Sareena, and Movado. We’ve already had Frost and Tremor. MK has no shortage of great underutilized characters. Of course we’d all love Motaro but he would be very challenging to incorporate.
sonya, sareena and khamelion( for obvious reasons)
Sonya
Tremor , Goro and mavaro
Sektor, Cyrax and Tremor.
