Kameo: Elements of Power?

Yeah, Kameo flies in and rips off your opponent's head if you do a special button input. Then she casts a spell and a flower grows out of your neck.

(note to mods, I'm kidding)

Kameo fighters, from what I've seen, are basically a power-up where you can tag in a non-playable character to do a move. Like you'll be playing as Sub-Zero with a Kameo fighter of Jax, and you can occasionally tag Jax in to do a move or two before you jump back to Sub-Zero.

My understanding is that these Kameos also have their own Fatalities, so while you have a lower amount of playable characters, you have a ton of fatalities.

I'm not really sold on this system. NetherRealm Studios say that they did this instead of tag-team battles because tag battles had low user engagement in MK9, but it seems like kind of a superfluous system that relegates fan favourite characters to NPC status, with them being "technically" playable with their own fatalities as a consolation prize. But only time will tell if this system is any good or not.
