I really like that they are making this one but what im worried about is that this will be the last mortalkombat game they are going to make.

I want to see what Stryker's victory will mean. 'Cause in MK3, he was oblivious to the fact he saved the human race. Does he actually have an acknowledgement of this in MKA?

Okay this is a story speculation thread right?Then here's what I think should happen:
Liu Kang and Kitana should finally get togeter I mean come on Mk's been
building up on this for long time.Same with Cage and Sonya.and their kids could be in future Mk games I mean Ed Boon said he was tying up loose ends well these are two of the biggest loose ends in MK history,And it would be real crappy just too kill them off. Same with Sub Zero and Sereena.

Fujin may be there to lead the warriors with Raiden. ( Or in place of Raiden, if he really became a bad guy.)
I imagine Jarek returns the same way Kabal did: some guy heals him after Sonya's MK4 ending.
Ditto for Mavado.
Kai returns after his spiritual journey to aid the good guys.
Sektor may have been reactivated by the Lin Kuei to continue his mission to finish Sub-Zero.
Nitara may have finally chosen a side to fight for, rather than being neutral.
Stryker may have just been alive the whole time, and chose not to participate until now.
Diddo for Kintaro, Rain and Reiko.
Ermac's ending for MKD frees up the remaining earth warriors.
Nightwolf's ending frees up Reptile.
Shinnok may have found the portal Quan Chi used to escape the Netherrealm the first time.
Diddo for Shang Tsung, Quan Chi, Sheeva, Onaga, and Moloch.
I apologize if I missed anyone.

The Lin Kuei is good, and is led by Sub-Zero. Does he want himself dead? Sektor was brought back on the GB version of DA, where he has started his own clan, the Tekunin for purposes unknown.

I think that Goro is going to be my most wanted return. I hated him always killing me in the original Mortal Kombat's. I don't have a GC so i couldn't pla as him in Deception, so i'm looking Very forward to using him in Armageddon and Kintaro as well.

the story of a few fighters, I hope they wil come back.
Scorpion:
After killing onaga as the real champion of the elder gods, he was useless and returnd to the netherrealm to find Quan chi and finish him of for good. The sorcerer had no chance of winning and askt Moloch and Drahmin one final time to finish scorpion off. Scorpion won the encounter but Quan chi fled to outworld, scorpions only chance of revenge is to fight in the tournement.
Kano:
Kano was finally arrestad by Sonia but acaped by the help of his old gang the black dragon, he formed an alliance with Kyra en together they destroyd kabal and havik. Kobra chose the side of Kano and the new black dragon will fight in the tournament to destroy the special forces.

"The Lin Kuei is good, and is led by Sub-Zero. Does he want himself dead? Sektor was brought back on the GB version of DA, where he has started his own clan, the Tekunin for purposes unknown."
Oopsy, I forgot about that. Thanks for that, Legacy.

will Motaro be back? i know this isnt proper for this thread but i jsut must know!

Yes, he was confirmed.

HuRRaY.

What if Havik's ending is Canon, and before he gives the heart to Shao Kahn he uses it on Liu Kang.
What I don't get though is in the promotional trailer It shows Scorpion fighting Sub Zero on the side of evil. Which makes me wonder what of his story arc is being taken as canon in the new game, because if he is the elder god's champion then he wouldn't have much trouble facing everyone on lead up to blaze.

Jarek:
Alignment:Evil
Allies:Kabal,Kano,Kira,Kobra(funny how all Black Dragons but Jarek start with K)
Weapon:Kick Axe
Fighting Style:Whatever fighting syle he has now.
Enemys:Sonya,Jax,Kenshi,Shinnok,Cyrax,Movado,Hsu Hao
Bio:I was foolish.After we defeated Shinnok i had to kill Sonya to prevent myself from being arrested.I charged Sonya on a cliff but she sidestepped.I fell to my doom or so she thought...
Alternate Bio:I managed to grab on to a branch.I climbed back up the cliff to get my revenge.Sonya was gone.I went into hiding to improve my fighting skills.Now i have finally resurfaced.I went to find the Black Dragon looking for Kano i knew he was alive.But all i found was that old Traitor Kabal and his two pathetic recruits.I joined his clan.But little does he know i have my own plans for the traitor.
Another Bio:Darn! we have to deal with the Red Dragon.Aparenly Movado is back.I will have to deal with him before i can spring my attack on Kabal.Just wait Kabal.I will be twice the leader you will ever be.When i have control i will get my revenge on...Sonya.
NOTE THESE DO NOT HAPPEN WITH KNOWLEDGE OR BLAZE OR ARMAGEDDON.THAT WILL HAPPEN LATER.
Ending:The new Black Dragon charged into the battleground.Jarek attacked ferociously as he made his way thorugh the crowd.Until he saw his main target:Sonya. He attacked her with a rage.Sonya instantly recignised him.Jarek fought well.But Sonya was too strong.She managed to defeat Jarek in battle but spared his life.Jarek was stunned. suddenly a Hooksword cut through him his vison blured when he saw his killer:Kabal
That was it.Hope you liked it.It only took me five minutes.

I say bringing back the Kamidogu characters from MKD is a bad idea. Those guys suck.

Kamidogu chars?
If you mean the new MKD chars then
Hotaru,Havik,and Darrius are cool
besides the have to bring them back for MKA

Does anyone know if every character is returning to mk armageddon. also does anyone know who the big dude in the character picture at the top is!!!
T-RANTULA

Every main character is returning mr. late
And the guy at te top of the picture is Blaze he will be the new boss.

cherrs man but im not mr.late i was just making sure what i found out was correct thats all.
do you play online we should v.s. eachother sometime.
T-RANTULA

Ne i dont have online,Wish i did though.

How do you play online anywayz?

Have internet connection then buy some gadget thingy i think.

This is the last game for current gen consoles.

to play online you need a broadband connection and a sony network adaptor. ive got both but i cant get it to work... does anyone know how.
T-RANTULA

Is there a manual
We better get back on topic.

well ive done some research on what you need and this is what i found on the playstation website:
"http://au.playstation.com/ng/network_connected.jhtml"
What You Need For Network Gaming
Very little stands between you and a network of likeminded gamers. Here's a rundown of just what you'll need to get playing online.
In order to access the future of PlayStation®2, namely network gaming, you need the following:
A network-enabled PlayStation®2 - This could be a PlayStation®2 with a built-in network connector or a PlayStation®2 with a Network Adaptor (Ethernet) (for PlayStation®2) fitted. You will also need a Memory Card (8MB) (for PlayStation®2)
A Network Access Disc - Guides you through the process of setting up your network connection. For more information about the Network Access Disc and to find out how to obtain a copy, click here
A broadband internet connection - Cable or ADSL but it must be broadband (minimum 512 kbps). Click here for a list of Internet Service Providers
A network-ready game - The list of network games is increasing all the time. Check out our list of network games
Seriously, this is all you need to get blasting, racing, roleplaying, skating and just plain having fun with network games. No tangle of DUALSHOCK®'s, no Multitaps, no i-Link cables and multiple TVs - just you and these simple things to get you started.
Item # 1: You
The most important and highly advanced component of network gaming, the nerve centre, if you will. The ultimate game pilot and the ultimate opponent for other unwary gamers. This component may require copious amounts of pizza, chips and caffeine-based beverages in order to operate at peak efficiency. Remember: always read the label.
Item # 2: A Network-Enabled PlayStation®2
This could be a PlayStation®2 with a built-in network connector or a PlayStation®2 with a Network Adaptor (Ethernet) (for PlayStation®2) fitted. You will also need a Memory Card (8MB) (for PlayStation®2)
Item # 3: Broadband Internet Connection
Your Internet connection can be cable or ADSL, but it must be broadband. A traditional dial-up connection using a 56k modem (known as 'narrowband') or ISDN just isn't powerful enough to cope with the gaming wonders you're going to be piping to your PlayStation®2. Your Internet Service Provider may advertise a broadband connection as a 512Kbps connection, or "ten times faster than dial-up", or just high speed. Refer to our Connecting to Broadband section. Please note PlayStation recommend a connection speed of 512/128k when using Network Entertainment.
Item # 4: Network Game
This is what you're here for isn't it? Whether you're into skating, racing, chasing, flying, fighting, shooting, roleplaying or any other gaming genre there's a PlayStation®2 network game for you. From the strategic shooter SOCOM: US Navy SEALs, to the radical skate antics of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4, or the run-and-gun mayhem of Twisted Metal Black: Online, there's a game out there for you. This is just the beginning though - there are many, many more network titles on the way.
