I remember a different thread where someone said that midway is adding "B Character" to this game...

After hearing the great news about Baraka, Mileena, and Kabal...

The rest of these characters, rumors or not are simply unnecessary, and instead of calling this game full of 'MK's B Characters', it should be considered 'MK's C Characters'

this is horrible...Tanya, Noob, Kano wannabe---and its not Jarek, Smoke, Bo Rai Cho, Dairou (who I thought was the only dumb character sketch from the krypt)...this game is shaping up to be the dumbest MK game yet...not even the popularity of Sub Zero and Scorpion can save it if its just going to be Ninjas, Wannabes, and Comic Relief characters...

either add some A characters back (Kung Lao, Sonya, Cyrax, Kano, even Mavado was a great concept--with exception to his moves) or lose the pointless (Noob, Smoke, Bo Rai Cho, Tanya)

i hope these rumors never get confirmed

I know everyone's entitled to their opinion, but I am so sick of people bashing Smoke and Noob. If you want a game with Kung Lao, Reptile, or Sonya, there are at least five other MK's where you may play as them.

A lot of the other characters got left behind even though they had a vault of potential. Why not let their colors show(heh, Noob Sabait pun. I crack myself up)?

the character roster keeps getting better and better. thank god no sonya, kung lao, and johnny kage. this will be the best mk ever

I agree with you 100%... There has been so much whinning over the character list it isn't even funny...

Most of the characters have only been in one or two games max, they haven't been given the same amount of time to develop as the old gang so why not give them the time? The old boring guys can sit out for one game, it's not going to end the world.

Noob was in II, 3, UMK3, MKT, MK4, MKG, MKA and MKTE. It's not like he only had one appearance. For someone that's just a halfassed thrown together palatte swap he's been in plenty of games. Considering there's a limit to how many old characters you can bring back can you really blame people for being bitter that someone like Noob keeps returning game after game?
I'm all for bringing back people like Baraka and Kabal. Characters that weren't in many games and that had interesting designs. Noob doesn't fit that description though. He's been in nearly ALL the games and never really had anythin going for him other than being "mysterious" just like 3 or 4 other ninjas.

I was mostly talking about Smoke and Ermac, but alrighty.

Thaks for backing me up...im not going to argue over made up video game characters

Ok, the Drahmin wannabe guy looks lame. Mabye the Kano girl it's just a black dragon member, not necesary with a metal implant in her face an a infra-red laser eye. I still belive that Li Mei will not return and Tanya will be completly redone to be a cool character. Scorpion looks the same but with less stuff in his outfit. I think that crap of Lui's soul is bullshit and Raiden will return and if not Ashra is his natural succesor.

OK. I read this thread to clear up the confusion...but I get more confused.

Skab is/was/isn't Noob Saibot?
Where is this pic of Smoke everyone is raving about?
Female Kano? KEN MASTERS? Huh?
Even if this stuff is just rumor, can someone CLARIFY the rumors?

But he was not playable in all of them. He was only playable in MK4 and MKT and if you were lucky enough to play a wavenet machine with a half ass version of Noob. The only real playable Noob that counts is MKT since in MK4 he didn't have any of his own moves or fatalitys.

So as a playable unique character, he was only in 1 game. Also he isn't a swap anymore in this game. So having Noob come back to finally be something more then a rip off is a great idea. Who else is a shadow? No one. If anything other people could be left out before him. Like if Tanya or Li Mei IF they are in this game.
