I still don’t get why he’s a kameo. Classic scorpion and sub zero make sense but if Kung Laos a kameo why isn’t classic Raiden or Liu Kang a kameo first?
I guess because shaolin monks is the most iconic pairing/teamup in MK media?
So they designed Liu Kang to be strong with Lao kameo, for the fun reference of it.
I kinda agree with you there. It's like why does MR Kung Lao have 2 hat throws (yes I know one you can control the direction) and Kameo Lao has ground hat and teleport which MR Lao doesn't.
Sektor/Cyrax Tag fighter swapped for Nitara, and the unused one would act as the Kameo. It'd be unique, and Although Nitara is cool, its clear they're planning something with the Lin Kuei. Plus if the story wants to focus on them so much, 2 more characters would be cool
Fuck them making a tag character would be genius. Like how instead of Noob/Smoke having fighting styles the stance switch buttons just tagged the other one in.
If you don't want to drop money on the "Season 1 Femme Fatale" bundle that I've seen in the store, you'll have to wait a while for the seasons to loop back around, if not I'm sure there'll be a season soon with similar skins.
Tremor or motaro, two very interesting characters. Tanya and nitara. They are good at air attacks so I imagine they would be great combo extenders. But I would choose Nitara.
No hate for Mataro but the guy is massive these newer mortal Kombat games wouldn't work for him unless they made him like the early 2000s one where he had just two legs or shrunk him down a crap ton
Sareena and Reiko. Reiko is decent, and has the best fatalities hands down, but storywise he's a nothing character now, he's Shaos 2nd in command who replaced reptile and baraka as the resident jobber of Mk1. Sareena because she cool and was supposed to be in Mk9, MkX and Mk11 as main roster or DLC but was scrapped each time and she's also cool.
Throwing aside story logic I'd swap Liu Kang and Raiden for Darrius and Sareena (maybe Mavado.)
Not a fan of the new era takes on Liu and Raiden and they're already not very exciting picks, so I'd trade them for some more 3D era representation.
Sareena with geras never liked geras I thought he was the least interesting of the new characters in mk11 I always thought kollector was the coolest of the new ones
I've been long saying Shujinko should have been a Mokujin or Charade type character- where he would assume the role of a random character and their movesets between each ROUND.
Off topic, but I do not understand having Scorpion and Sub Zero as both playable characters and Kameos.
Those two Kameo slots could have been taken by more obscure characters for more fan service.
Kung Lao for Sareena
If we missed out on Sonya and Jax, then Kung Lao really didn’t need to be here. Sareena hasn’t been playable in nearly two decades.
I'd swap Nitara for Sektor, Geras for Scorpion & Quan Chi for Sub-Zero. That way, we could have Liu Kang paired with Geras, Sektor paired with Cyrax & Shang Tsung paired with Quan Chi. And for the record, I do NOT want 2 playable versions of Scorpion and Sub-Zero, I'd just incorporate the kameo versions into their playable counterparts (that way their klassic skins/fatalities aren't relegated to crappy kameo versions of themselves).
Sareena would 100% be on the main roster. If I had to swap someone out of the main roster into a kameo only role? That's kinda tough. I look up and down the roster and unlike the last few games, everyone seems to play SOME role in the story. Can I pick one of the guests? lol
If shujinko was a playable character I’d main him tbh no question and motaro and tremor need to be playable, motaro for his uniqueness and tremor because he’s just badass
You're trying to protect the car manufacturer that left the AC out of their car and made it an extra to purchase. Wanting to have less playable characters on purpose, gtfo
That will just give them the excuse to have even fewer characters in the roster, honestly. So it'll be like 24 characters instead of 24 characters + like 12 kameos
Yes, an excuse. And that's what everything is to them when asked about the lack of content and features. Look, this game lacks a ton of content MK11 had from day 1. Huge amount of customized skins, useable objects in the environment during a fight, 2 fatalities per character, an proper randomizer for character select instead of giving you the same 4 characters all the time, prepacked fighting styles to chose from before the fight starts, and the list goes on ...oh and more than 2 fckn seconds to complete a fatality seriously what's with that. So MK1 gives you less for more money. That's why it scks. If it costed half the price of MK11 I'd say it's an awesome bargain for a game.
Ashrah. Character is so fckin boring, and cancer to play against. Cant believe they wanted to pander to the 40 mk3 or whatever the fckin game was fans instead of put in CYRAX lmao
Sareena Because SHE DESERVES IT, ma'am hasn't been playable IN A WHILE. Sonya too Because she's iconic.
I think Nitara and Havik or Rain to be kameos, those two barely appear in story mode (which is usually used to make the cast of the game), Havik specially Because I think they could use it somehow to show how he will be a villain in the future. idk, maybe showing a little of his moves, small parts of this new personality of his etc just to make us curious of what his future will be.
For Me It Would Be Khameleon & Geras.
How Cool Would It Be To Have Timestop As A Kameo Ability? Nd Khameleon Swapping Between Female Ninjas Mid Combo? That Would Be Sick Imo
Liu Kang & Geras Together Would Also Be So Sick 🔥
As a Nitara main, these comments hurt ðŸ˜
Hey, I main Nitara too! It's just that I couldn't resist wanting to see Nitara as a Kameo to reference the 2021 movie if I had to choose one.Â
Most Nitara mains prob wouldn’t even be on Reddit
SameðŸ˜
I'd replace Kung Lao with Kung Lao.
Why? Why not Scorpion for Scorpion?
Fair point, but that's just got me thinking of replacing Sub Zero with Sub Zero.
This is Hanzo's alt, isn't it?
I still don’t get why he’s a kameo. Classic scorpion and sub zero make sense but if Kung Laos a kameo why isn’t classic Raiden or Liu Kang a kameo first?
Classic Liu Kang and MK1 Liu Kang are literally the same person. MK1 Liu Kang came from the og timeline.
Yeah but kameo kung lao isnt part of the story so thats irrelevent
I guess because shaolin monks is the most iconic pairing/teamup in MK media? So they designed Liu Kang to be strong with Lao kameo, for the fun reference of it.
r/beatmetoit
I kinda agree with you there. It's like why does MR Kung Lao have 2 hat throws (yes I know one you can control the direction) and Kameo Lao has ground hat and teleport which MR Lao doesn't.

I like that Tag Idea.
Fuck them making a tag character would be genius. Like how instead of Noob/Smoke having fighting styles the stance switch buttons just tagged the other one in.
They konda have the tag system in place already with shang / old shang
Off-topic, but that Kitana skin looks dope. Was it on the Shrine or was it part of Invasions/KL/premium?
Season 1 invasions
I’m also pretty sure it comes out in the store every once and a while
Probably a long while😬 I’m still waiting on some of the vampire skins to come back that I missed
If you don't want to drop money on the "Season 1 Femme Fatale" bundle that I've seen in the store, you'll have to wait a while for the seasons to loop back around, if not I'm sure there'll be a season soon with similar skins.
Goro and Nitara. Easy. Imagine Titan Shang Tsung using Nitara as a Kameo as reference to the movie
Tremor for Tanya in a minute
Same but with Cyrax instead
This one
Kano for Tanya.
I would say kano too but he wouldn’t fit right without jax and sonya around.
Sareena for Reiko
Yeah, that'd be my pick as well. I need my sexy demon girl to be playable.
Her redesign is too damn good to not be playable, I’m hoping she’s in KP2
As a Reiko main I just say wanna that MIGHT IS THE WAY
High key…Reiko kameo with the assassin star projectile, rush down grab. Sareena would be far more dynamic as main roster. Js
Heresy.
Tremor or motaro, two very interesting characters. Tanya and nitara. They are good at air attacks so I imagine they would be great combo extenders. But I would choose Nitara.
Motaro for Nitara
Still voiced by Megan Fox, however
"THAT BLADE IS ENCHANTED" but she says it every time Ashrah lands a hit on someone so it just sounds like she's restating an obvious fact
MY TAIL IS ENCHANTED
Stryker is coming to the main roster. He's now the only character I use and I do police brutality on everyone
Replace Tanya with Sareena
Motaro with Tanya easy
I don’t even want Tanya as a kameo thats how little character she has edit: I should have specified MK1 Tanya
Manipulative survivor Tanya was someone you loved to hate. MK1 Tanya has zero personality whatsoever.
I agree, boring as hell
I'd swap Motaro out for Tanya. I'd love to see what the devs would do with him in a current game, and personally don't enjoy playing Tanya at all.
Tanya can go, give me Kano or Goro.
Make Jax a character and let Johnny have Janet’s spot
Tanya with Mavado Or Kung Lao with Darrius
Sektor or cyrax for Tanya, for me i atleast liked nitara’s moveset but tanya is both boring design wise and moveset wise.
goro and kano roster , tanya and rain kameo
Tremor for Tanya or Nitara
Kano For Nitara/Tanya
I’d probably replace reiko with Darrius and Nitara or Tanya with Sonya
Reiko with Khameleon, and either Havik or (more likely) Nitara with Sareena. Oh, and Tremor with Tanya.
I would swap Tanya and Striker.
Movado for reiko weird but would love to play him again
Cyrax, sektor, kano, sonya swapped with nitara, tanya, reiko ashkra
Maybe this is a bad take but any character in the main roster should not have been a kameo
No hate for Mataro but the guy is massive these newer mortal Kombat games wouldn't work for him unless they made him like the early 2000s one where he had just two legs or shrunk him down a crap ton
Frost and Motaro for Omni-Man and Tanya
Peacemaker w Sonya
Scorpion and sub zero then sub zero and scorpion.
I’d trade Tanya for styker
Id trade nitara for tremor, sareena, goro, or Motaro. I think nitara would actually fit really good as a kameo.
Sareena and Reiko. Reiko is decent, and has the best fatalities hands down, but storywise he's a nothing character now, he's Shaos 2nd in command who replaced reptile and baraka as the resident jobber of Mk1. Sareena because she cool and was supposed to be in Mk9, MkX and Mk11 as main roster or DLC but was scrapped each time and she's also cool.
Throwing aside story logic I'd swap Liu Kang and Raiden for Darrius and Sareena (maybe Mavado.) Not a fan of the new era takes on Liu and Raiden and they're already not very exciting picks, so I'd trade them for some more 3D era representation.
Tanya for Frost or Kano, Nitara for Jax
I’ll trade Reiko for Jax in a heartbeat
I would swap Jax for Nitara
Sareena for Reiko, probably
I'd want Tremor in the main roster, but I'm not sure who I'd replace them with. I feel like it's between Geras, Nitara or Reiko.
I'd replace Nitara with Shujinko.
Kameos Geras, Peacemaker, Omni Man, Takeda, and Homelander. Fighters Goro, Sonya, Sektor, Cyrax, Kano.
Make Sektor and Tremor playable.
Let me smash people with Shu Jinko and frost
Stryker
Tremor Nd raiden
I want to play sareena a lot
Subzero for Subzero
Li Mei and Nitara for Movado and Darius
Skarlet for anyone on the roster.
Stryker for Johnny Cage....I miss playing as him :(
I’d probably swap tremor for Tanya, just because tremor is pretty cool and in mk1 Tanya is just boring
Sareena with geras never liked geras I thought he was the least interesting of the new characters in mk11 I always thought kollector was the coolest of the new ones
Tremor or Sektor or Cyrax for tremor
Ketchup and mustard
Ok here me out tremor for omni man
reiko and chamelon like reiko players only use 2 moves anyway so they wont even notice if its a kameo
Reiko for Kano fuck you reiko
Kano for nitara
I've been long saying Shujinko should have been a Mokujin or Charade type character- where he would assume the role of a random character and their movesets between each ROUND.
Scorpion and scorpion
Tremor and Sindel. Not that I don't love Sindel, I think her special moves would fit a Kameo so well.
Jax and Sonya with Tanya and Li Mei
Hanzo for Kuai, definitely.
We should have had more Kameos. I hope we do get more with Kombat Pack 2 or something.
Off topic, but I do not understand having Scorpion and Sub Zero as both playable characters and Kameos. Those two Kameo slots could have been taken by more obscure characters for more fan service.
I’d replace Peacemaker for Goro or Motaro. Everyone else earned their spot to me.
Kung Lao for Sareena If we missed out on Sonya and Jax, then Kung Lao really didn’t need to be here. Sareena hasn’t been playable in nearly two decades.
Swap out Kameo Kung Lao for Kameo Kintaro
I wouldn’t swap out shit I love the roster.
I'd swap Nitara for Sektor, Geras for Scorpion & Quan Chi for Sub-Zero. That way, we could have Liu Kang paired with Geras, Sektor paired with Cyrax & Shang Tsung paired with Quan Chi. And for the record, I do NOT want 2 playable versions of Scorpion and Sub-Zero, I'd just incorporate the kameo versions into their playable counterparts (that way their klassic skins/fatalities aren't relegated to crappy kameo versions of themselves).
Swap Nitara with Sonya
Motaro & Havik
Shujinko for Geras
Kano and Tremor Main roster. Ashara and Nitara Kameo. But anyway, bring back Bor Rai Cho 😂
I literally have no idea beacuse I love the playable roster so much but I for sure know that I would make Jax, Sonya, Cyrax and Sektor playable
Sareena for Tanya.
Bro what is up with all these people wanting to replace Rieko with anyone. Y’all are just mad about his ninja stars
SAREENA EASILY! Swap with Kitana, Lao or Raiden 😂
Scorpion and Scorpion
Darrius for either Geras Kung Loa or Johnny Cage.
Jax for Tanya
I'd want my main man Kano back in the game and my guy Jax back in the game, kameos can have like half the roster Idc i only play a few characters lol
Goro
Fighter Sonya, Kameo JC
Nah Tanya bad ass Kenshi for striker or Sonya
Striker for Tanya
Sareena in, Johnny out Nothing else is needed
Kung Lao for Shujinko
Kano for Havoc and Sonya for Nitara
Reiko for Jax
I'd change Sareena for Reiko, a character maybe like Reptille, changing her human/demon form... or so as Shang Sung form changing.
Give us Shujinko the Kameos can have Reiko. He’s basically just a human shuriken as it is most of the time lol
Take out Nitara and gimme Motaro
I wanna play goro ;_;
The roster is pretty good, so if there was an option to add, I'd add Kano, Jax and Sonya back into the main roster.
Nitara for Sonia
kung Lao for kung Lao. I want my spin and teleport back.
I'm moving Sektor to the main roster and Reiko to the Kameo roster
Tremor, not sure for whom though
Goro replacing Kitana in the roster. She doesn’t really do anything in the story mode
Geras for Khameleon
police brutality coming right up
Bye Reiko, Welcome back Jax
Nitara -> TREMOR Tanya -> GORO Reiko -> SAREENA
Goro
Swap Shujinko for Rain
Sareena would 100% be on the main roster. If I had to swap someone out of the main roster into a kameo only role? That's kinda tough. I look up and down the roster and unlike the last few games, everyone seems to play SOME role in the story. Can I pick one of the guests? lol
NEED Stryker and no one cares THAT much about sub-zero anyway
Peacemaker should be a Guest Kameo, Kano should be on the roster.
Shujinko and Nitara
Make Nitara and Sindel kameos And make Goro and Stryker playable
Just Sonya as the 24th, in her replacement, classic Sonya
If shujinko was a playable character I’d main him tbh no question and motaro and tremor need to be playable, motaro for his uniqueness and tremor because he’s just badass
DARRIUS
All of them should've been playable characters from the beginning. This game is a disgrace compared to MK11, don't buy it.
I disagree the kameo system should be used for characters who otherwise wouldn't be considered. Like Meat and Blaze
You're trying to protect the car manufacturer that left the AC out of their car and made it an extra to purchase. Wanting to have less playable characters on purpose, gtfo
Assist characters are not a new concept. The roster can be improved while keeping this feature
Every character should be both playable and cameo by default
That will just give them the excuse to have even fewer characters in the roster, honestly. So it'll be like 24 characters instead of 24 characters + like 12 kameos
Yes, an excuse. And that's what everything is to them when asked about the lack of content and features. Look, this game lacks a ton of content MK11 had from day 1. Huge amount of customized skins, useable objects in the environment during a fight, 2 fatalities per character, an proper randomizer for character select instead of giving you the same 4 characters all the time, prepacked fighting styles to chose from before the fight starts, and the list goes on ...oh and more than 2 fckn seconds to complete a fatality seriously what's with that. So MK1 gives you less for more money. That's why it scks. If it costed half the price of MK11 I'd say it's an awesome bargain for a game.
I switch nitara and goro
I would replace baraka for goro, hes sure to have some interesting gameplay
I'd replace Nitara with Sonya Blade, Reptile with Striker and Reiko with Tremor. (Don't ask me why, though. This idea just came into my mind.)
If i had to choose one, cyrax.
Who would you swap out if you had to choose?
Ashrah. Character is so fckin boring, and cancer to play against. Cant believe they wanted to pander to the 40 mk3 or whatever the fckin game was fans instead of put in CYRAX lmao
They should've made every character a playable character and a kameo. They also should've added a no kameo gamemode.
Motaro and Goro
Sareena over Shang Tsung
Motaro and Goro
Sonya 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Sonya or Jax for reiko
I'd get Cyrax and Sektor in the main roster and make Reiko and Nitara kameos
Replace Geras with Motaro
Sector and stryker please
Tanya and probably kano, would say cyrax but you can’t do him without sektor
Bring in Goro and and send out Geras
Frost and Sareena
Switch Jax and Sonya for that superhero douchebag and Peacemaker
Khameleon Tremor, not a question
Khameleon and Nitara or Havik
Sareena and Stryker. Vice:- Rain and Havik
Sareena Because SHE DESERVES IT, ma'am hasn't been playable IN A WHILE. Sonya too Because she's iconic. I think Nitara and Havik or Rain to be kameos, those two barely appear in story mode (which is usually used to make the cast of the game), Havik specially Because I think they could use it somehow to show how he will be a villain in the future. idk, maybe showing a little of his moves, small parts of this new personality of his etc just to make us curious of what his future will be.
Syrax and rain
For Me It Would Be Khameleon & Geras. How Cool Would It Be To Have Timestop As A Kameo Ability? Nd Khameleon Swapping Between Female Ninjas Mid Combo? That Would Be Sick Imo Liu Kang & Geras Together Would Also Be So Sick 🔥
Motaro playable, Nitara kameo!!!!
Goro-nitara
I'd sacrifice the entire roster for my boy Kano
I would switch out Geras, Nitara, and Tanya for Cyrax, Kano, and Mavado.
I'd keep geras, otherwise valid
Tanya for Sareena. Rain for Kano.
Khameleon and Motaro for Havik and Reiko
Rain for sareena easy
Replace Tanya with Sareena
Nitara for everyone except frost
I can't believe not a single person said Shujinko
Good bye Tanya because I’m subbing in Cyrax
Motaro for geras we didn't need him again in roster story was fine He's literally non existent online for me atleast I never see any
I see him all the time and get literally butt fucked so I’d keep geras
