	I mean in versus mode and stuff. Ones you don't have to use AR Max to play as. The game was supposed to be a non-canon remake of MK2 but the only MK2 characters we ever got to play were all of them except Raiden, Mileena, Shang Tsung, and Jax. But why? Everyone had to have 3 specials each exactly. And each had to have a different effect and stay true to the classic MK2 moves. So what could've been those character's specials? Jax Arm Wave Ground Pound Gotcha! Mileena Sai Toss Tele-Kick Ground Roll And Jax got "Gotcha!" as a special move and not a grab because, as you guys know, the grabbing system in MK:SM worked a lot different than that and only varied between Liu Kang and Kung Lao's. But basically, Jax an Mileena had no purpose not to be playable. It's sad that those characters only took minor parts in a remake of their origin game. I actually was planning to use Jax when I first got the game and heard it was an MK2 remae. Now what about Raiden and Shang Tusng? Well Raiden was never seen fighting. They never made him any specials. Just acharacter model. That's just stupid too. He was in the original MK2 roster and he should've ha a point in the game somewhere where he used his moves in story mode. Even if it's fighting him who is actually Shang Tsung or being like Johnny Cage who is just there behind you to help. So if he was: Raiden Thunder Bolt Flying Thundergod Static Teleport Shang Tsung is a someone to think about though. He only had two specials in MK2. Fireballs and morphing. So I can understand the fireball move being one of the specials. But what about the other ones? Well he could have some form of morph. Sure it would pause the game for a quick second but it could be just like the story mode Shang Tusng. You press a special move button and then he turns into Reptile. Then Sub-Zero. Then Johnny Cage. Then around and around again. Sure it's sort of stupid, but it would work. And his last move would usually be a firey uppercut. That's apparently what they are giving all of the characters with leftover moves. Like Scorpion and Liu Kang. It's just a last minute thing. But I also liked the fireball eruption he had in story mode too. I know it was an MK3 move, but it could work. So: Shang Tsung Skull Fireball x3 Fireball Eruption/Firey Uppercut Morph So I could see many complications with Raiden and Shang Tsung by what they gave us but Jax and Mileena had no reason not to be playable. -----signature----- The name's E.

	Well, ya. But she wasn't in the original K2 cast. She was only a secrt character at the time. I mean the actually playable original MK2 roster. -----signature----- The name's E. Evil_E.

	I've always wondered this too as I've posted number of times that I wish there were more characters playable in Vs. Mode and that there should've been an Arcade Mode as well. Like you unlock these characters along with their koncept art. I say you could've had Jax, Mileena, Raiden, Smoke, Jade, Noob Saibot, Shang Tsung and the boss characters Kintaro and Shao Kahn playable in Vs. Mode as well.

	I would've loved Ermac too, but he had just as much of a chance as anyone else besides Jax and Mileena. -----signature----- The name's E. Evil_E. Just call me E_E.

	That also proves my point that the MK:SM storyline loosely follows MK2 because they didn't read that much into any of the bios and such. -----signature----- The name's E. Evil_E. Just call me E_E.

	And Shang had an attack that he used in MK3, not in MK2. I mean his Multiple Eruption, or whatever the name-the one in which he summons fireballs from the ground that lift you up-. -----signature----- Pablo Ignacio Scaletta, the biggest MK fan in Argentina (or so I think)

I know. But it might have had to fit. That or an uppercut that copies Scorpion or something as an extra special. Everyone in versus mode had at least 3 different specials based from MK2 and he didn't have much. -----signature----- The name's E. Evil_E. Just call me E_E.

	Instead of Shang Tsung morphing, you should replace it with the Soul steal move. The Morphing should appear like in story mode, Random. -----signature----- Those i like: Kano, Sonya, Quan Chi, Havik, Hotaru Those i hate: the DC side in MKDC xbox 360 Gamertag: GabrielFTW

Or what if he was only able to morph through Fatalities, like he can turn into, either his opponent that he is fighting at the time or anyone, but only being able to morph through a Fatality, kinda like a Fatality steal, like just say Shang Tsung is versing say Sub-Zero and then Shang Tsung gets the last hit in and then he gets the FINISH HIM! then say you push up, up,down,down & High Punch he turns into Scorpion and does Scorpions Fire Breath Fatality -----signature----- MK_FTW: Please call me Daniel.

Just between those 3 characters. But the only big downside is the freezing up every time he does it. -----signature----- The name's E. Evil_E. Just call me E_E.
