MK3 was pretty lame.

I get that not every character can appear in every game, but they cut out most of the good characters from the previous games and replaced them with lousy originals. No Johnny Cage. No Scorpion. Unmasked Sub-Zero. Jax with stupid fucking mechanical-ass arms that even Mortal Kombat: Annihilation poked fun at. Motaro and Sheeva were nice additions. But who really wants to play as Stryker or Kabal? The robot ninjas screamed, "We're out of ideas."

Ermac was a nice shoutout to a glitch in the arcade original where Scorpion would sometimes during red on the menu screen and an error message would pop up leading people to believe he was a hidden character. But he could have been a red Scorpion. He didn't have to be a robot.
