Whos Next? New Kombatants Coming to Mortal Kombat X
The hints keep coming! Even as speculation ramps up for returning klassic arenas; Creative Director Ed Boon has dropped a teaser image for four new characters who'll be announced tomorrow!
The question since the earliest promotion has been: Who's Next? Four silhouettes seem to confirm a long requested second Kombat Pack, with the identities of each download character presumably to be revealed - or at least hinted at - tomorrow!
The guessing game for deliberately obscured characters has already brought forth a torrent of wild speculation, and wishful thinking. Top suspects range from a confidently identified Bo' Rai Cho on the right, to Smoke, Noob Saibot, Baraka, Sindel and combinations thereof, from left to middle.
Will Fujin finally blow a mighty wind as a playable character - or will the proverbial "Martian Manhunter" have a longer wait in an increasingly extended DLC cycle? Could the unkempt hair of Silhouette #2 give Rain fans a redesigned reprieve, or is snap speculation of the likes of Michael Meyers or Leatherface ripe for more horror guest characters?
With so many characters from story mode in the firing line, it's certainly easy to see why "encore" was on Ed's mind.
I hope not. First one looks like Smoke/Noob (and now it looks like Baraka) and the third one looks like Cyrax to me, because of the "ears". Am I seeing things or are the characters on their back?
Left looks like Baraka. Far right I'm not sure, but looks to be a real silhouette. The two in the middle look like misdirects. They are so generic and faded that they might be throwaways.
I wouldn't be too shocked if one or both were female.
But damn, I cannot make out what the figure behind Fujin is, I'll just assume its a guest character since I'm 100% sure we'll be getting another. I wish it was fucking Li Mei though. That would be perfect- 3 highly requested 3D era characters added to the roster would be a dream.

I think the far left is Baraka, Noob or Smoke, the silhouette is real and some details look more like a stocky ninja, first glance I thought breaks though
I'm getting Baraka from the third figure, not sure why. First guy has armbands and gauntlets? Maybe a ninja? I'm not seeing any possible female characters here. My guesses for the others are Fujin (second figure) and Bo Rai Cho (fourth).
Weird how none of them look female. Boon could just be trying to throw us off again with BS shadows like with the select screen. All I know is I'm fucking pumped right now!!
The one on the left is either a ninja or Fujin. Check out Fujin's model in MKX. It has the armbands and those wrist-protector thingies (gauntlets?). He also has shoulder straps. But the silhouette appears to not have Fujin's belt, so *shrug*.
Guy on the right looks suspicious. Looks like he's wearing a collared shirt with his sleeves rolled up. A guest?
I have no idea about the middle two. Doesn't look like there's a single female in the bunch, though. :(

Bo'Rai'Cho's sleeves are rolled up and he has a collar in story mode. I'm sure it's him, besides that character looks slightly chubbier than the rest.

Too many penises.
I need my Li Mei. My other two female hopefuls after her are Sareena and Frost- Frost mainly because I liked the little rivalry she had going with Cassie in the comics, that's something I think they should build upon in future games.
I'm sure Li Mei will make the cut somehow- she's voiced by Kelly Fucking Hu. You don't get Kelly Fucking Hu to voice a character in your game for like one scene without using them for anything else.
I mean, it's Kelly Fucking Hu!

Left COULD be Baraka (plsplsplspls)
Anyway I'm going to borrow this theory from somewhere else and say this is a ruse. They're showing them from the backs. And then there's also what a user so confidently stated earlier this year.
So now if you consider this:
-Baraka
-Rain (Could be wearing the cape hence the bizarre outline)
-Fujin
-Big Bo
