	evil_emporer posted: I think you, Frater0082, are a little confused about what "canon" means. It doesn't mean minor characters or characters with brief mentions. It means characters that actually don't exist in the original storyline. The Great Kung Lao does exist in the original story and therefore is canon. Another way to use "non-canon" would be Marvel's "What If?" series. They are things that could have happened, but the stories are non-canon because they never really happened in the original series. But if you do mean what I think you mean, then that would be a great idea. I could imagine a few of those being playables in future games with further expanded moves and abilities. i know what it means and yes it's what you think i mean

	mGlottalstop posted: sollaris posted: Who's Komodai? If I remember correctly, Komodai was the Leader of the Saurian Division of Shao Kahn's militia in MK: Defenders of the Realm. He scored a victory in a fight against Jax by dissolving the microchip that powered Jax's metal arms, leading the man to have a breakdown and a crisis of character. Essentially, he's the cartoon Reptile. Oh, thanks! I remember...I've seen Defender of the Realm and I think it's quite good! -----signature----- "Knowing is not enough, we must apply!

	Just saying the Great Kung Lao and King Jerrod are canon. lol But a little story about the Great Kung Lao growing to power to do what he did would be great though. -----signature----- The name's E.

	so it's higlhy likely that King Jerrod can be in Mortal Kombat 9 in fact any games well at least we get to see his face for the first time. and Great Kung Lao deserves again as gory as God of War.

	If you want to be cheap about it. King Jerrod was killed by Shao Kahn thousands of years ago as he took over Edenia. Having to keep reviving these dead characters to me is just weak. I mean, it's like "Ya! I just killed this guy, but he'll probably be back next week." I especially hated MK:A for that... -----signature----- The name's E. Evil_E. Just call me E_E.

	Onaga wasn't killed. Nightwolf just bound his soul to the Netherrealm. Onaga was never planned to die in Nightwolf's original ending anyways. And I think the whole "MK:DA heroes died" thing was awesome. The heroes actually didn't win and were killed by the Deadly Alliance. But because they were also revived in the same game, then they obviously were never planned to permanently die. Now, Sheeva and Motaro. They were killed in Kano's MK:DA konquest mode. Why they are still alive is a mystery. So is why Mavado is alive after Kabal killed him and got his hookswords back. THAT'S the things I want filled in. -----signature----- The name's E. Evil_E.

	I think design brand new chars would be better than bring non-cannon minor chars. -----signature----- Sensei-sama I love you _ Guess what? I'm in love with the best man in the world! 8-)

	Well a lot of the minor characters that have already been created, especially with Tobias' help, were really good and got a few fans collected in. Some of the newer people like Hotaru, Hsu Hao, Darou, Darrius, Mokap, etc. don't have that many fans. What makes you think we wont get a Hsu Hao 2? -----signature----- The name's E. Evil_E.

	Prinsesa_Jade posted: Definitely Kiri. She'd fit in Reptile's and Khameleon's story. Btw, Kiri is another Zatarran from MK Conquest. Kiri is Finnish and mean to hurry in command form. By the way, if you could choose on non-canon character to Mortal Kombat 9, who would it be? -----signature----- Links for you™ http://www.GOOGLE.com • http://www.WIKIPEDIA.org • http://www.YOUTUBE.com Midway Ninjas and Ninjettes Clan ninja member • MK Name topic RETURNS: http://tinyurl.com/yjqycjm ‹

	^ *Skarlett. But she would be totally awesome if she was anything like the version I use in MK:A's KAK. -----signature----- The name's E. Evil_E. Just call me E_E.

	Wow, I didn't see those typos when I wrote it. So: if you could choose one non-canon character for Mortal Kombat 9, who would it be? I would choose either Skarlet or Kidd Thunder.

But we can't be sure thet minor char brought as main (or one of) would be good. "Ysu Hao2" could be made from Tremoror Apep or enyone else monor if it wouldn't be elaborated well. Same with new chars. See, it depends on developing. -----signature----- Sensei-sama I love you _ Guess what? I'm in love with the best man in the world! 8-)
