So far we have the following playable characters:

01.Liu Kang
02.Raiden
03.Sub-Zero
04.Scorpion
05.Jax
06.Mileena
07.Baraka
08.Smoke
09.Jade
10.Noob
11.Sindel
12.Nightwolf
13.Sektor
14.Kabal
15.Ermac
16.Tanya
17.Bo Rai Cho
18.Li Mei
19.Kenshi
20.Ashrah
21.Hotaru
22.Shujinko
23.Ben/Kobra
24.Darrius
25.Dariou
26.Skab

How many total secret characters do you think there will be? I'm hoping that Boon and co extend the player select screen to accomodate more people. The select screen could have one of the following designs:

Super Street Fighter 2 type design:

DK 01 02 03 04 05 06 SB
07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14
15 ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? 16
17 ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? 18
19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

This would accomodate all of the confirmed fighters, plus leave room for the twelve boss characters from Konquest (two bosses for each of the 6 realms.)

The two spots next to player one and player 2 would be for unlocking the Dragon King and the Sub-boss, whomever it is. To unlock these guys
you would have to have absolutely beaten Konquest, and unlocked all other secrets in the game. These guys would be a last reward.

That would be an awesome design. If there are "hidden" fighters like Blaze and Mokap, I would rather them appear on the select screen. Such a gigantic select screen would be awesome.

I like the idea. The select screen should grow and expand to fit unlocked characters on it. Or, maybe the selection grid could flip over and the hidden characters will be on the other side. You just flip the grid and then select the character you want.

That would kick ass. A select screen that would flip around would allow you to play as...48 characters! Although i don't know if it would be quite 48. I'm thinking in the 40's though.

the characters mentioned in the 1st post will probably be the only playable characters in the game unless stated by boon & co. It's pretty hard for a 2d game to contain 40+ characters and retain all the animation etc. and a 3d game? you should be thankful we get 23 characters! of the 23 about 10 will be starting characters and the others must be unlocked ala DA.

i think the select screen should be kind of how Super Smash Bros Melee did theirs. show the starting characters and alot of ???? slots. after you beat a certain thing these slots filled. however they also had others that were added onto the sides and on the bottom of characters where there were no ???slots. that wold be a cool twist i think cuz then you would go oh cool just because the slots are filled doesn't mean there isn't anything else out there to get

You have Darrius in the wrong place. I dont even think he was thought of until after E3.

You do know it was confirmed that there will be more then 24 characters total right?

Also were working with DVDs now, not arcade machines/carts/CDs. DVDs can hold a bunch depending on what DVD they use. Hell most games don't use half of what the DVD can hold.

I'll be nice because you're obviously new, but we have confirmation from Ed Boon that there will be "A LOT" more than 24 characters, and that you will start with 24, andbe able to unlock SEVERAL secret characters. This number is more or less confirmed to be ATLEAST in the high thirties.

In the future, check your sources before you make audacious claims.

I dont mind what shape the character select screen is, as long as the secret characters appear on it, and its not like Blaze and Mokap where you press don on a certain character. I reckon on more row of fighters would be enough underneath the existing select screen. As long as they make room for actual boxes though.
