Although we are not the official site for Mortal Kombat 5 (Midway.com is), here are some fan ideas sent to us:

Brendan
I have three characters for the next Mortal Kombat game. There all members of a group called the strike cube one is Andrew Poirier a scientist who one day made a formula and when he tried it and it mutated him and it made him Quick Strike lord of all king cobras. His power is sort of like scorpions only he has king cobras to use. Brendan Rhyno was raised by chameleons and after a little while he learned how to use chameleon's powers and left the chameleons oh I forgot the strike cubes are bad. Lets get back to what I was
saying. Once Brendan got away he named himself chameleon strike but I forgot to mention chameleon strikes special power is to make his hands glow in a green light and when he points his hands at something the green light will hit whatever it is and do the things weakness. The other member is Jesse Farm he got hit with a lightning bolt and it
mutated him now he has the power of lightning so he called himself lightning strike

I am thinking that Maybe Quan Chi would be the new boss.
Storyline going maybe similar to as follows. Shinnok's forces are still fighting off Shinnok's forces at the end of MK4 Quan Chi and Shinnok get into a fight. Quan Chi then shows Shinnok the real amulet as in the movie on MK4. Quan Chi defeats Shinnok and then prepares to lead his forces against Earth. This could be the opening movie sequence like in MK4 where Rayden speaks. Shang Tsung could make a comeback. His hatred for Quan Chi is great so I am thinking that he would stay a neutral character.
Not taking either side. Maybe a hidden character.

This is what I believe MK5 will need to compete with other fighting games
out now! -3D stages and arenas -weapons and gore -charge moves and combo moves as well as special moves (the more the better) -secret stages and costumes to unlock (Other fighting games are doing it!) -multiple play modes

What I want to see in MK5 -A minimum of 30 characters + secret characters (The more the better) -playable secret characters and playable bosses -Play as Motaro, Shao Kahn, and Goro as well as the classics -Cool fatalities! (More the better and gorier the better)

In Mortal Kombat 5 I think that it should be a cocktail of the previous games. All of the characters that have been created on the games, Mortal Kombat Conquest TV series and the comics. For example introduce Siro, Kasar, Mika and Vorpax. The total characters I would like to be in are as follows: Rayden Liu Kang Kung Lao Shao Kahn Shinnok Scorpion Johnny Cage Kitana Kintaro Goro Quan Chi Sub-Zero (orig.) Sub-zero (unmasked) Smoke (cyber-ninja) Smoke (human) Rain Mileena Gorbak Sonya Jax Kano Jarek Kabal Kabal's sister and father Fujin Reiko Ermac Motaro Vorpax Mika Siann Sora Kiri Reptile Noob Saibot Gen Taja Master Cho Cyrax Tanya Jade Sindel Stryker Sheeva Omegis Khameleon Shang Tsung Nightwolf Kai Siro Lin Kuei Hikata
Each character will have their own fighting style that would be easily
identifiable by everybody. Have all past and present moves whether they are finishing moves or just a personal move. For example, Rayden - head explosion, body shocker, ash. Keep the interactive backgrounds like in MK4. Create additional characters such as the elder gods and other kombatants. Have changeable costumes like on the Playstation, but could also relate to the costumes worn by certain characters out of the films and MK Conquest. E.g. Rayden - MK1, MK2, MK4 and MK Conquest, MK movie and MK Annihilation. The come back of brutalities, babilities, friendships and animalities for
ALL players. Sound-a-like voices from characters that played in the movies and tv series.
Use of Shao-Kahn's lost treasures when you have successfully completed the game.
Backgrounds from movies/TV programs. Make some 'goody' characters that have a health rate of the 'baddies' such as Kintaro, Goro and Motaro, for example Rayden and Fujin.

I can't wait for the mk5 and I got some ideas for you. My most important is to do with the music of the game. Even from MK 1, I usually turned the music off or down, sure it's ok, but doesn't pump you up. What I believe is a great idea, would be to develop a new style of music, techno-based style for the game. Just look at how successful the movie soundtracks were. Techno music goes great with martial arts fighting; bring that to MK 5 and what how every one gets pumped up when playing. Why not just play MK 4, with Mortal Kombat the movie soundtrack playing and what how it changes the atmosphere. Hope you can bring that idea to your web page report. (Perhaps a mention of me) thanks!
Also, why not bring in a rumble feature, 4-way battle. Plus why not bring in an introduction where each player makes there way to the fight like the wrestling games. Mk1-4 was great but to survive in this over populated fighting games market its time to bring in a new style.
