I agree. It sucks most classics wont return.

BUT the game is looking wonderful! There are so many characters that DESERVE a chance, liek Sindel, Kabal, Ermac and others.

Its cool if the CLASSICS like Sonya, Rayden and Cage that started the series end with the series. They will mostlñikely not return for MKD, but they will for Mk7.

In my oppion 24 is a great amount of characters. I want Quality over quanity. Better to have 24 superbly done characters, than 36 characters half done, or thrown together for the sake of numbers.

And on another note, I do realize it's good to be critical, but seriously the game is not even out yet... we should try to remain positive and optimisitc about it, not pesimistic. After the game comes out, such well constructed critism is healthy.. but common guys give the game a chance to at least come out.

People who want hundreds and hundreds of characters are stupid. How many diversity will remain?

The stages look good, but it doesn't look like there will be many of them. I agree about 36 fighters. I also think MKDA's fighting system needed A LOT of work, and I doubt they will put the time into fixing the bugs and problems.
Most I am worried that the plot will be written like MKDA's. Most ppl will disagree, saying that because this is a fighting game it needs no plot. I disagree. I think MK1-MK4 all had desent plots. MKDA's sucked major ass!

I also hope that Noob and company spend more time refining the fight mechanics. I feel that the controls should be tighter and the responsivness stepped up a notch. Also, battle should be quicker.

You have got to be freaking kidding me! Why the heck would you want 36 characters? This isnt Mortal Kombat Trilogy! Part of what Makes MK great is the story line! The story line would be retarded with alot of loop holes and stuff if they tried to fit 36 characters in the game. AND if they had that many characters most of them would be crappy fillers with lame moves and fatalities. Even your precious classic characters would suffer that fate. Besides, when most peopele play a game after a while dont they latch onto 2 or 3 characters they they usuallly only play with? that would leave 30 plus characters that you dont use... Of course this is just my opinion. Personally I think that 24 characters is plenty plus however many hidden characters there are. There are more playable characters in this game than any other mortal kombat game excluding Trilogy. That fact alone should make you happy! BOO YA

Hi! new here.

About this game, it looks awesome. I hate the idea so many classics are not coming backm but hey! We have Kabal and Ermac!!!

I wish Goro was in, but he died, so please dont bring him back!

So where is the defenit caracter list, I read Johnny, Rayden and Sonya are not returning.

Or do you think they might be secret caracters, or they have to be unlocked, maybe Ed isn't giving away as much as you like.

Fact is the game isn't finished yet and many caracters have yet to be confirmed, so i would say that this thread was a bit hasty.

Wait and see...

MKT had more than 36 characters dude. And that was not a bad thing.

Decent fighting game, maybe I will play.

Click Here
Oh hell yeah, I will play that fighting game.

The more the better.

not many? wtf? some people are just greedy. they have al they could ever possibly want in a mk game, but yet still want more?

30 freakin characters is way too much.

i dont want 20 classic characters and 4 new ones. i want it to be mixed. i think there are more than enough returning characters.

its funny cause the same people that are always complaining that people like cage,sonya, jax, etc are always in the mk games, now are begging to have them back? i wouldnt care if i ever saw those characters again. cage should be dead for good. sonya and jax need to take a vacation..ive seen jax in every mk game since mk2..hell, he even had is own damn game. i want something new...new characters..not a bunch of old ones that say "im back and done in 3d! im cool now! and then people will complain about that.


i hope boon and co reads the other mk forums as well, he will be greatly misguided if he doesnt.

In most games I don't care about classics. But let me say this, MK Dev Team had the shitty bunch of new characters in MKDA, far worse than MK4 or MK3 combined. The character development team is terrible. So yeah, I would not complain about it if I had faith they would put some better new characters in it.

Personally I think its time for characters like Sonya, Jax, and Cage to sit out a round. They've been in almost every MK game and it's about time some other characters like Sindel, Noob, Baraka, Kabal, etc. to get their chance. Its not like you're never going to see characters like Sonya again. I was beginning I wouldn't be seeing some of the other characters I listed again.

At first I also was bother by the 24 character limit, but now I'm thinking its a good number, as the more characters you try to shove in, the more thin you spread the game.

Rudolph Wrote: I'm dissapointed by the cast. Not many classic characters are returning. I wanted 36 characters instead of 24.

Its all part of Boon's grand plan. He will be making MK Trilogy 2 with MKD's graphic and gameplay engine and have almost every MK character in it. It will be the last mk game on current systems before MK7 is released on PS3 and Xbox2.

ryu.. you have a point there..

I think there are too many new characters

Well... consider that in konquest u can duplicate or create pretty much any charac.... may take some time... but it's possibe!!!

So, ik Kitana is missing... just find her in Koinquest and get her moves and techniques!!~!

I think it will only be playable characters moves.. but maybe not... I guess.

Plus, I don't care about the classic characters much either. I mean there are staples, like Sub Zero and stuff that need to be there, but MK2 had tons of new characters, most of them good, same with MK3. MK4 had some shitty ones, and MK:DA had some bad ones too. I think we need more good ones, but they have to be better wuality.

It is early right now, the number of characters can change at any momment. Plus you can creat all the missing characters if you want.

Some one said that there is 24 characters plus secret ones, but the secret ones are included in the 24

lol dude don't you think u are pushing it, I mean 36. I think the number in MK6 is a well rounded number. A dude how could you be dissapointed about returning charerters not returning out of the 24 we get 8 new characters? Also we don't know half of the people returning in MK6. I guess you can't please everyone

Although the number is not set in stone, I was hoping for about 42 characters in MK:D. Before you go off about it being greedy, in MK7 I was hoping for about 28. I think Midway need to have one of the installments with heaps of characters, just to osrt of present them, see how they do, then next Mortal Kombat kill about half of them off.

Actually, I still think 24 characters is NOT that much. I think 30 would be enough. 24 seems to be SO little with SO many new characters.

NO I AM NOT COMPLAINING!!! Im happy with the way MKD is looking.

The team didn't sit down together last fall year and say "Alright guys, we're going to make a badass fuckin' game with 24 characters. Who's with me!"

A more sensible scenario would be that Ed Boon got in front his amigos and said, "Listen, let's try to make as many characters as we can without making them of low-quality. Keep in mind, we only have so much time, so lets get to work."

That number ended up being 24. And with Konquest, side-games, two fatalities, five-platform stages, I'm very surprised we got that many, and I certainly didn't expect to get more than we got in MKDA. I expected around 18 to 21 characters. Of course I want more characters, but I can't say I'm disappointed.

Actually, those aren't not hidden characters. Just like Deadly Alliance, you just have to beat certain things to get them... that doesn't mean they are secret/hidden. I don't think the hidden characters are included in the 24 playable characters in the game.

Actually this may make sense in a way-- they are already creating models for every single MK character in MKD's konquest mode-- what if all these models will go to a second MKT, you never know.
