Mortal Kombat 11

No duh, because Injustice and Mortal Kombat are both made by Netherrealm. Not the big deal you think it is.

Negan.

Unless of course, it's something as gory as Mortal Kombat, because most companies don't want to see their flagship characters brutally murdered.

Namco (and Harada) tend to care loads less about limits when it comes to crossovers than most.

As for Street Fighter, the downside to picking a SF character who could fit in MK is how few of them not just kill people, but believably do so in a spectacular fashion that would work with MK’s style. Akuma kills, but that’s almost entirely in lore, and his fighting style in-game isn’t exactly geared towards “causing death in cinematic fashion.” Even the SGS isn’t obviously lethal.

I could see Vega / Balrog / Claw working.

Pretty much and even then, Fighting Game fans did seem to like the idea Akuma and Geese fighting Tekken characters.

Negan and Noctis got mixed reception when they were first announced though.

Vega would be a fantastic actually. Not sure if it would be a popular choice.

Resident Evil characters could fit well too, especially Wesker.

If we're going to pick a non-main character choice then Necali is a better choice than Claw is.

I'm saying in this context that the character might get announced somewhere between Sindel & Joker.

Unless of course, it's something as gory as Mortal Kombat, because most companies don't want to see their flagship characters brutally murdered.

Yea, I still can't believe Joker is a guest character. Between his Wolverine Publicity & NRS being responsible for Injustice it only makes sense, but I never thought DC would actually be ok with Joker getting brutally murder. Granted, this also the same (not literally) guy who wore his face as a mask but I didn't think this would ever occur. It's going to be great to Fatality Joker.

Noctis looks more fitting for Soul Calibur, honestly.

In general, I'd just look on who could be a good fit from both a gameplay and aesthetic side before considering a crossover.

Negan would work better in SC as well if you ask me but i warmed up to his inclusion.

Also, the Joker makes sense considering he tends to be pretty violent. Not as ridiculous as MK but pretty close.

Noctis fitting in Soul Calibur i can see, but Negan?

Mostly because he fights with a weapon and tekken isn't really a fighter game where the fighters use weapons.

And he is as fitting as Star Wars characters if you ask me.

He wouldn't be the first Tekken character with a weapon and his weapon is a baseball bat anyway.

Joker is probably the best DC character to put into MK, tbh. Not only is he a killer in universe, but he’s known for using inventive and creative ways of killing or harming people, allowing them to pull from a wide pool of concepts for his finishers and Fatal Blow.

I dunno. Necali fits into the world of MK somewhat better (arguably), but doesn’t have the “classic character” cred that someone like Claw would put to the table.

When I read Deadpool, I thought 'the fuck?!' for a second.

A little late to the discussion but it should be noted that Superman versus Ryu is already a thing that can officially happen, kinda.

There's a level of brutality in especially Mortal Kombat 11 I just don't think Capcom would find acceptable for any of their characters, even the most villainous or despicable.

So of course Boxer would be the one they'd pick.

Nemesis would fit perfectly in MK, honestly.

Should of said Street Fighter characters

Nemesis/Mr. X feel like cheating. And you wouldn't get any of the dialogue intros people like so much.

SF & MK do have a differing ratings issue.

SF is rated T while MK is rated M.

Forgive me I didn't notice that.

ST = Street Fighter?

You know who would be a great guest character for Mortal Kombat? Junko Enoshima

I think you'd confuse everyone with all the Pepto Bismol.

Also. That series isn't really gory, and the further along it goes the more and more esoteric and silly its deaths are. The silliest fatality in 11 would still make your average Japanese exec looking to promo one of their characters shit themself.

Not to mention that with the exception of the incredibly divisive DR3, all the blood in the series is pink.

Ha okay that be funny.

Seeing everyone doused in pink paint.

×2 That's what he meant by Pepto Bismol.

And just because the blood is pink doesn't make it not violent.

And a few of the executions are more disturbing than some fatalities, especially recent ones which are so over the top they can even be funny.

Spike chunsoft probably wouldn't have a problem with Junko dying horribly at any rate.

Edited by Cortez on Oct 19th 2019 at 2:08:19 PM

I cannot see any anime character fitting visually in a Mortal Kombat game.

Junko might be the closest, but even then.

Not in an artstyle as realistic as MK's, which is another problem.

Alucard

Devilman and Violence Jack would fit like a glove too.
