How do Kameo Fighters work in Mortal Kombat 1?
The Kameo Fighters in Mortal Kombat 1 form a new system that allows unique assist characters to help you out by making them use their Special Moves, Throws, or even Breakers. You must pick a Kameo Fighter after selecting the main character that you want to play. You will then need to select the move that they will use to support you in battle.
This opens up a wide variety of unique playstyles that you will be able to tap into based on the fighter and the Kameo assist that you are using.
For example, Kameo Sonya Blade is perfect for opening up the opponent’s defense, which will allow you to make the most of her grab-and-air combos. However, if you are going for Kameo Jax, you will be able to use his ground point and interrupt the opponent’s combo strings.
Additionally, Ed Boon, the creator of the Mortal Kombat series, has also confirmed that the assist system will allow the Kameos to execute special combos with the fighters and perform fatalities with the main character.
Currently, the roster of Kameo Fighters in Mortal Kombat 1 consists of those from the standard group, along with characters like Goro, who is one of the most iconic figures in the franchise.
