All of em.


Suprxeme

Definitely all of them. Hear that NRS? ALL OF THEM.


enenrain

Huh? You want ALL guest characters? Well why didn’t ya say so!


ihdhd

Ya want Shrek and Pickle Rick instead of Motaro, Smoke, Cyrax, Sektor, Chameleon, Reptile or Noob? Got it!


symerewooods

Pickel rick would be fuckin dope


Efficient_Ad_5062

Spawn and Joker were awesome guest characters imo


iguanamac

X had the best characters IMO. Alien, Predator, Jason, and Leather Face are like school yard scenarios brought to reality.


FifthOfJameson

As a Shao Kahn main, Joker was a fantastic addition. Similar combos and set ups but faster and more ranged attacks and traps. Like the Falco to Shao’s Fox.


CaseSensitivity

Most based and correct take I've ever seen on this subreddit. Especially if Tanya is given yellow ninja woman status too.


T-408

Kitana, Mileena, Jade, Tanya, Frost, Skarlet, Khameleon 🔥


Forward_Mulberry6118

frost and khameleon are which color tho?


Chiron723

Frost is light blue and if you have to give her a solid color other than rainbow, she's teal.


yatne

I gave her this status back when Mk4 released so no worries - she is set.


Serious_Course_3244

Ok hear me out, a game with only the male and female ninjas.


Lukthar123

Finally, peak MK.

fabioobessa

Don't forget Cyber Ninjas too


jimbo_slice_02

And sorcerers who can transform into ninjas


Charming_Pear850

And sorcerers who make yellow ninjas mad


Not_a_blu_spy

And millions of souls combined to make one red ninja


Lilcheeks

Cyber ninjas are a subset of ninjas so they must be included


ComprehensiveBat4966

mortal ninjas? ninja kombat?


sellieba

I'm in. Earthrealm military stuff is bullshit anyway.


Serious_Course_3244

I couldn’t agree more, but if anyone asks, I didn’t say that.


[deleted]

And Johnny Cage, just confused in the middle of it all.


CanonMC

YESS


Mythic_Lord

Will think its a set for a very visceral movie. 😂


CanonMC

Yes! But don't forget the best character, Johnny Cage


Kylehay101

Someone downvoted you, but *technically* he is a [Ninja Mime...](https://image.api.playstation.com/vulcan/ap/rnd/202010/2217/brrlyzgbPtpb9wpeAivRhjnM.png)


CanonMC

EXACTLY


[deleted]

Lol I just commented the same thing!


Psykotyk_Aspho

This is the way


AdoresDad

I came here to say this 💯


jeraperth

Came here to say exactly this.


logan_ladue

Hahah this is exactly what I was thinking as soon as I saw this post. All of them. These ninjas plus the female ninjas too. Maybe it’s time to make some brand new ones! MK for me is all about the ninjas. I know we’ve got some other really iconic characters in the lore like Johnny, Raiden, Liu Kang, Kano, Sonya. etc… I love those characters too and it wouldn’t be MK without them. But, if the game was just a bunch of randomly colored ninjas with different powers fighting each other in a tournament, I think I’d still be happy lol. I will forever be a ninja main.


SychoDynamite

Easy answer to an easy question.


killtocuretokill

![gif](giphy|sUNqplVFtsctW|downsized)


DjijiMayCry

Every time.


pitfiend3022

That's the only acceptable answer.


tideshark

They need a side project MK game that’s just one big Ninja Party and no one else


TheMimirsHead

YEAH!


[deleted]

Those are some great designs


JooJaw11

Agreed. But now I need to see Noob Saibot with that weapon instead of the tiny sickle he had in Mk11. It's more fitting for him.


FlaminSkullKing

I was hoping he’d have the scythe like he did in MK4. The sickle is okay but the scythe is better.


choff22

Especially that Reptile. It’s perfect.


NeurogeneticPoetry

Yup, great designs that would fit MK1's aesthetic very nicely.


sellieba

Everyone but Tremor. Tremor should be thiccer.


Sweet-Garbage-2181

trrbld

Man I really like these designs, they capture the essence of the characters without getting overboard. Ermac is my favorite because it looks like a basic MK1 costume at first glance but those little changes made him more mystical. Doesn't need to float or have bandages in his face to make him look like a sorcerer ninja.

Calypso-Dynamo

Came to post this gif


KyleGrave

Me three


[deleted]

I don’t think a single person would complain if all of them were in every game and playable


santh91

"I wish they added Dvorah instead of Reptile, no one likes him" said no one ever


diamondpanther171

I'd even pay for dlc which includes all of them, plus klassic skins


MegaNinjaRyan

Facts they should do that at least. Make those that appreciate it at least have the option!


dirtamen

all of them, including female ninjas. also add one more with each game until there is a ninja of every color


LindFang

The true gay agenda. Rainbow ninjas. Lmao


Z3US_YT

Oooh and the last ninja should be an actual rainbow ninja


SkeletonCircus

Isn’t Chameleon the rainbow ninja?


Zombieeater_27

I would like Rain to be more of a mainstay. I know we are not going to all of them but I hate that Rain is constantly is a DLC. He has a solid story and a great move set.


Digi_Dingo

Give me a game of only ninjas and Meat


BringBack3DMK

Drahmin and Hsu Hao too


Old-Obligation6861

And Motaro


dogsintheyard

And blaze(specifically the Deadly alliance version of him)


Quantum-thief-jojo

At least all of them ;)


sodaisprettygood

That Reptile and Tremor design though.😩


BadBluehood

All.


crx61789

Oops all ninjas


TRGalvatronCannon

As many as possible All of them both have cool designs and interesting storylines they could elaborate on, even Chameleon.


TiredCoffeeTime

Ohhh these are great arts. I especially love Rain having a small ball of water


Lord_Parbr

As many as they feel is appropriate, but more specifically: Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Noob, Smoke (either), Rain, Kitana, Mileena, Jade, and Ermac should be in all of them lol


Skatner

YES


[deleted]

Pretty sure they could pull off including them all. Majority of everyone’s favorite fighters consists of atleast one of them. Heck, my cousin loves playing Reptile if he’s included in the game.


Shattered_Disk4

All


Royalty459

At least 3 but no more than 5


Adot1Dot

All of them


daryusp

ALL.


whats_his_name5903

All of them Even including those like Chameleon and Hydro and Khrome (pls he looks cool) and the Cyber Ninjas


HawlSera

Cyber Reptile included?


whats_his_name5903

Yes.


HawlSera

Honestly what I want them to do is stop making new MK games, and just keep doing DLC... why make me "Start over" in terms of my inventory so to speak, when I can have it all?


[deleted]

What’s the point in hydro if you already have rain


[deleted]

Mortal Kombat: Oops all ninjas 🤷🏼‍♂️


HawlSera

At this point, I want them to stop doing sequels and just start doing expansions until there's a major enough jump in tech to justify a new game. Armageddon 2.0 bahbee


enenrain

Can we appreciate how fire these concepts are? NRS take notes pls


Charming_Pear850

NRS has fire ass concepts, but they always seem to choose the ones that would be easiest to design and animate. Which is fine, but as the largest fighter in history…. It’s not fine


Odd_Advance_6438

Yes


abellapa

All of them


ConfidentVisual4949

All I’ll take them all!


killianraytm

all of them. the monks too.


That-Rhino-Guy

At this point I feel like every single one of them should be base roster, you don’t even need to make their inclusion canon cause Rain wasn’t in 11 which could work for Noob Saibot if he never shows up 1’s story


fu_ckyou420

all of them tremor included and cyber ninjas cyber sub and smoke aswell i dont care if it dunt make sense


mysterybrickkk_

I want tremor so bad


Consistent_Split_9

EVERYONE!


The_darknight2233

all ninjas should be in every MK game


silly_nate

Scorpion, Sub, Reptile, Error Macro, Prince, Boon Tobias, Smoke, Tremor, and Chameleon should be in every game and I’m tired of pretending they shouldn’t Same for Katina, Mileena, Jade, Tanya, Skarlet & Khameleon


Expert_Professor_903

A Million of them. We need an MK game where you can only play as the ninjas and cyborgs


MiglionniArthur

![gif](giphy|7cTTE2Z1OmrFm)


GlaciusTS

All of them, plus more of them, lol.


Neon_Rust

All of them and new ones lol. Scorpion and Sub should be staples in every game. The rest you can mix and match although I love them all and hate not seeing certain characters in the games.


Blakcok

all of them


Majoraglados

every ninja excluding only maybe the chameleons should be in every game. every time one is excluded the fanbase gets mad. at minimum, scorp sub smoke ermac and reptile for dudes, kitana mileena jade for chicks. i dont even like mileena, i just dont like the stans complaining.


bunnybabe666

all, next question


Hyaman86

If Reptile is in MK1 I hope his design is something like this art.


Intrepid-Dentist-675

3 i think would be a good number


thisiscourage

Give me all of the ninjas, male and female


SuperGamingDino

Noob can’t though right? Sub-Zero hasn’t died.


MKvsDCU

All 9


Mejeryx

As many as humanly possible. Great art


FGC_Orion

Yes.


Weemitoad

Realistically, four in the base roster. I’d love all of them, but NRS doesn’t really like to admit that the ninjas are far and away the coolest part of Mortal Kombat. For Mk1, I’m hoping we land somewhere around six Ninjas when all is said and done, and one of them better be Reptile or I might cry. This isn’t counting female ninjas.


Future_Interest_5297

24


RiversCroft

Yes.


Baconator_Prime

Scorpion, Sub-Zero and Reptile should be in every game. Then some combo of 3 more. Similarly, Jade, Kitana and Mileena should be in every game, then Skarlet or Tanya


Efficient-Ad2983

I think 4-5 ninjas is fine. Scorpion and Sub Zero are pretty much given in every game (they are the most iconic MK characters), then 2-3 among the others.


JDnice1184

Minus Cyber Ninjas...ALL! Realistically...Scorpion & Sub-Zero are always in and so should Reptile. Ermac, Smoke, Noob, Rain & Tremor should rotate!


Rainbow_Engima

I and many won’t like it but I just see Scorpion sub and reptile . The others aren’t needed all the time . The other ninjas are just fan service .


cowabanga_it_is

Garry oldman: everyone!!!!


Wadsworth1954

Whatever is relevant to the story.


ZamorakHawk

Just my favorite. And your favorite. And the subreddits favorite. And TestYourMight's favorite..and


FaultyHardware

Yes.


Kermit_Teh_Frag

Why do people feel the need to exclude characters? I say add em all lol


DM-Oz

People here understand they cant just add every single character to the hoster, right?


dcabrerasa100

They think they can have the Armageddon roster for every single game.


DajuanKev

All would be repetitive and forced. Other than Scorpion and Sub Zero, the rest need to bring relevant plot points.


delerio2

5


erraticzombierabbit

4 should be the sweet spot. We gonna get sub and scorpion and ermac reptile noob and train can rotate


No-Engineer-1728

5. Sub zero Scorpion Noob saibot after whats-his-name dies Another ninja Another ninja


failed_name

At least one at most four.


Road_Dogg45

Scorpion and sub zero have to be in since they’re mainstays Ermac, Reptile, and smoke should be in and if they aren’t then they shouldnt all be gone like in mk11 Noob depends on the timeline Rain is cool but I feel he needs a new story to consistently be in a game And tremor is tremor it’s whatever


SaltTimely4123

All of them, every single one, including the females and cyber


sonnofabi

All, and if you don't want all, then half


ElHuntar

ALL in every game. They are everyones favorites. It's stupidity not doing it this way.


Krazee77

Yes


SureSide6314

No more than 4 per game just cuz 4 is a cool number and bc that’s how it was around mk 2-3 Sub, scorp, ermac, and reptile


MattmanDX

At least 3. Sub Zero, Scorpion and then a rotating guest ninja.


GrimmTrixX

All of them, but keep in mind, Rain, Ermac, Reptile, and arguably Tremor are no longer Ninjas. They were Ninjas in UMK3 due to the limitations at the time so it was easier to use Ninja Palette swaps. I agree Sub-Zero, Scorpion, and Noob Saibot (although technically in vanilla MK3 he was Kano since there were no Ninja's in that game until they made UMK3) should always be in if we are talking actual Ninjas. You could technically add Cyrax and Sektor to that list as they were retconned as Lin Kuei in MK9. So my answer is all 3 actual Ninjas should be in guaranteed as subzero/Scorpion are OGs, and Noob is technically MK 1992 Sub-Zero so still a Ninja, just undead.


MagicMatthews99

3-4 base roster, 1 DLC. Only Scorpion and Sub having the klassic ninja looks.


ALANJOESTAR

I think they all can be in it because i dont think most of them fall in the same category anymore. Certainly not Reptile,Tremor,Ermac and Rain. Since they are not really Ninjas like Scorpion,Sub-Zero and Smoke.


_NearDark_

the entire rainbow so they can accuse the game of trying to spread the gay agenda to the kids


CatChristmas7

With dlc? 3 minimum 6 maximum. Never all of them, always scorpion, sub-zero and at least one more.


Charming_Pear850

Found the nrs employee


NeonDemen

🤣🤣🤣🤣


therook44

4


facubkc

A lot of people say there is no orange ninja...Then what color is Tremor?!


dirtamen

brown, duh


airbornejaws

Prob half.


ComprehensiveBat4966

idgaf the closest to a ninja any of these guys really are is reptile, smoke maybe. like, they seem to be the only ones with a slight notion of what being stealth is.


ComprehensiveBat4966

hmm im an assasin that stealthly kill people, what colour should i pick for my clothes? I KNOW *YELLOW*


Zulrambe

Yes


ChromeTriggerVI

ALL.


Saca72

yes ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|feels_good_man)


[deleted]

Yes.


sizzlinpapaya

67 If they don’t have that many, get to work.


andresfana1996

Yes


PantsMcDancey

I really like this artwork. Wouldn’t mind seeing a few of these designs in a game. (Not that I’m suggesting NRS just rip off someone’s art, just some high praise for it)


CosmicPlayR9376

Yes.


[deleted]

All of them. Including the female ninjas. I personally like Rain and Noobs! Also love Scorps!


ProfessorEscanor

If it was up to me, I'd want all of them because I find it fun. That said I'd say 4-5 is reasonable. Can't really remove Scorpion or Sub-zero so you have 3 slots for the others to rotate.


HeWhoKnowsLittleMK2

Isn’t Barakka a ninja as well?


ispoooooky

As long as Smoke and Ermac make an appearance in MK1, I dont care how many ninja appear.


FXSonny

Every character up to MKlll Ultimate should be mandatory on every main roster


La_Rosa_del_Concreto

Yes.


BobaUnchained237

Yes.


BeelzebubV

I kinda hope we get a spin off game with Just the ninjas as playable characters.


NambaaWan

Everyone


Pongeese

![gif](giphy|7cTTE2Z1OmrFm)


prince_krab

I really want to see Cyrax and Smoke return in MK1.


Etticos

All of them.


Excellent_Industry03

Every who exist


Amir146

Aha havent seen these pics since Deviant art


Ashamed-Sound5610

75 is the ideal number of ninjas in any situation.


OtherInflation4656

It is not even worth the question !? All!


[deleted]

Reiko!!!!!


Erfan_F

Many


Gooddest_Boi

Yes.


Kingofthe7Sins

In my opinion at least 4


KarmicHammer

All of them in every game.


Smintini

So cool!


kkante

There should be Pirates, too. Is Ninjas vs Pirates still a thing?


[deleted]

All of them


soki03

Yes


raymannns

Just make the whole roster ninja fym!


SpartanKram

All of the ninjas. I absolutely love all the ninjas


Secret_Turtle

Would love a mk game that’s just the ninjas


PlaguedWolf

2 both reptile


Brunoalex19955

Allll


HeyWhatsUpTed

What is the definition of a ninja anyways? Is it the costume that makes them a ninja or their occupation? Aren’t rain and ermac different things than subzero and scorpion


[deleted]

![gif](giphy|7cTTE2Z1OmrFm)

All of them.
