I still hope there are chances of him appearing as a sub-boss or at least in one of the story sequences.

Hes in, it makes no sense that he isn't.Hes iconic 10 times more than kano or sonya or jax or baraka.

He's on Holiday at the moment. I recall him talking about NYC in an interview. I'm sure Spider-Man will fight him.

He might be in the storyline but not playable or just be DLC. That or he's an unplayable sub-boss, either one.

goro would fit perfectly in the game due to the klose kombat thing,and it would be funnier use the klose kombat feature with a four armed guy!

i'm more dissapointed by Cage forfait than Goro's one,but i miss them both.
my ideal roster is:the ten originals from MK1+Kitana.

probbly not the sub boss will probbly be kahn if ur an mk charcter or darkseid if ur dc

well the game has about 90% of ur dream roster then so thats not 2 bad

Cage's absence IS rather unfortunate.

That is actually Jack Burton's guess as well...

Yeah, Cage should be in the game, too...let's hope for some good DLC on the off-chance guys like Kung Lao, Cage, Reptile, Lobo, etc. are made available.

That's one I wanted as a MK fan since 92. Goro to me is the face. I always hear people talking about the four armed guy. But In this day and age I wouldn't be surprised if he appears is some from of the game.

I'm pretty sure early on I was casting aspersions about the MK team's willingness to build a four-armed model. I'd like to think there's still some chance we might see sub-bosses, but I'm starting to wonder if seemingly unfair assumptions don't hold water.

Between cheesy mini-modes like close kombat and the falling fighting, you can sort of imagine how a four-armed character would require extra effort even in the fundamentals. I suppose we're used to clunky cop-outs that just make those options unavaiable against a boss character, but I guess complete omission isn't a shock in this case.

I'd still like to think we could see Goro in some kind of substantial capacity, maybe through the story mode. It's hard to conceive an 'iconic' list without at least one four-armed fighter.

Here's hoping a "leaked" achievement list that "prompted" an official reveal is about as reliable as you'd think...

he IS mortal kombat.

I remember when I was a kid and wasn't allowed to play mortal kombat.

the only character i knew was goro

Jack Burton thinks Mick-Lucifer hits on a good point...

A four-armed character would most likely need extra effort to work right in the game, especially in the areas of close kombat and freefall kombat. If he did make an appearance as some sort of boss character, I guess I'd be partially satisfied if kombat options like these weren't performable against a Shokan like Goro, but like Mick-Lucifer stated, that would be a "cop-out."

Hell, wouldn't it be an exciting experience to be in freefall kombat against someone the likes of Goro? If you don't get the upper hand on him as you're falling, you can expect his massive form to land right on top of you and stuff, and that thought alone would make me want to fight all the harder to ensure I wasn't severely hurt. And close kombat against him would really be interesting, too. If he were to apply it to you, I think it'd be interesting if he grabbed you and lifted you with his bottom arms to try to pummel you with the top two. However, to make it a bit more fair, your arms should be free to nail him in the face to release you. If applied to him, I think it'd be cool if his counter attack to break the close kombat were to send you flying some distance across the arena.

Just some thoughts, here. I think when it comes to facing someone like Goro or Kintaro, it's all about the excitement factor, that feeling of "Oh, shit, he's got four arms and is so much bigger than me," or that surprise of "Oh my God, he just depleted half my health bar with that move!" Those emotions are what drive me to be as good as I can be when I'm facing them with my favorites like Raiden, Kung Lao, or Liu Kang. I think if Goro or another four-armed character is put into the game somehow, then those kombat elements should be possible. Without them, where's the excitement?

And THAT'S what Jack Burton has to say at this time.

I really thought he was a shoe-in. The greatest sub-boss of MK IMO.

i feel he will make a cameo . .

Goro and Kahn were a really good addition to MKD when it came out for Gamecube. I had already had the game for PS2 for a while, but I gave in and bought the GCN version too. It made me realize MK was still the classic(ultimate BADASS)fighters that I grew to love. So yeah....Goro will be missed. I'd like to see Goro pound Superman into the fukin' ground.

He will be in MK vs Marvel Lol.

For real though, I think he will be in the story mode somewhere.

I agree, I thought Goro and Cage would've been in the game. Not only are they iconic with every letter capitalized but also MK originals and MK vets. They might end up as downloadable characters though.....I hope

I think he should have because he has been in just about every other mk game!

He's been only in MK1, Trilogy, MK4, Deception for PsP, and Armageddon. (Excluding Shaolin Monks) that's 5,... not that much of an appearance. But, he's not iconic. To me of course. In my opinion, I don't think that Goro would have made sense being in this game. There was a reason why I said that, but now it just totally left my mind. Ahh, that's what South Park does to you.

You forgot MKD for Gamecube...

well, isn't this just the PLAYABLE roster? there's no way of knowing if he'll be a classic unplayable sub-boss or not.

i think he should be a sub boss, he defently is one of the most iconic characters of mk, and i wouldent be bothered if he was not playable cause i have more fun fighting goro then bein goro

I have to agree.

Goro, Reptile and Johnny Cage are far more iconic that Baraka.
