The arcade fighting game has since released 11 series and is gearing towards thelaunch of its 12th installmentMK12.
Heres a look at the top five characters that are unlikely to return inMK12.
Kollector
Kollector made his debut in the franchises 11th installment as a minor opponent during story mode.
The character is the former Emperor of Outworlds debt collector and is Shao Khans personal banker.
The characters design fits in with the games Outworld aesthetic with his blue skin and orange eyes.
Kollektor bears enough strength to lift an entire person.
Despite his skinny appearance, he has quite the build, but thats all about him.
Unlike other characters like Subzero, with special mod abilities and creativity, Kollektors power is his strength.
His signature moves involve a series of quick slashes and stabs and using his bola against his opponents.
Aside from the above, there isn’t much more to explore with Kollector.
His gameplay is not as fascinating as otherMKcharacters.
Despite having a set of powerful abilities, the Titan goddess may not make a return to MK 12.
Kronika is a god-like character, despite resembling a human female.
Such powerful skills make Kronika a fun character to play with.
Dvorahs goal is to protect the hive since she is the last remaining species.
To do this, she may end up betraying Kotal Kahn.
Dvorahs appearance has evolved with the recent release ofMortal Kombats11th installment.
Her looks now lean more towards her insect origins, both aesthetically and mechanically.
Her main prowess is her bug blast attacks and the Ovipositor stabs.
AlthoughMortal Kombatis famous for its gory attacks, Dvorahs upgrades and abilities can be an eyesore.
According toNetherRealm QA analyst Steve Brownback, the characters appearance in the game is monstrous and gross.
Similarly,Mortal Kombatenthusiasts are not too pleasedwith her new looks.
More so because she kills Mileena inMK10and Scorpion inMK11, two highly-praised characters.
However, the character has now flopped to the bottom tier.
Kotal Khan is a worthy opponent since he is neither too weak nor too strong.
His character resembles the Aztec Eagle Warriors, soldiers from the Aztec empire.
His greatest weakness is that he has to be close to his opponents to attack.
In the latest installment, Kotal Kahn appears larger than in previous characters.
Developers at NetherRealm say the increase in size makes him seem more like a boss character.
Although in essence, the size increase makes Kotal Kahn an easy target to hit.
Furthermore, Kotal Kahn is slow in his attack.
His signature moves are effective against opponents who dont know the tricks he has up his sleeve.
For example, when using theGod Raymove, Kotal Kahn is vulnerable to an attack from his opponent.
Unless developers improve on these factors, Kotal Kahn may not grace theMK12installment.
Cetrions prowess is in life and nature.
She can control the earth’s elements; air, light, fire, and earth.
One of her signature moves is using the earth element to haul large boulders against her opponents.
Furthermore, she can hover above the ground and use telekinesis to move objects around.
Despite having so much potential owing to her supreme abilities, Cetrion is a misfit with no particular skill.
Her movers are predictable, making her an easy opponent to beat.
