its anoufh i really don`t want to see another ninja in this one its beginning to look like
MKT and i never wane see ever again another MK with more then 3 ninjas exept its another MKT

the whole ninja thing is gettin a little played out ..but im def diggin the fact that there not all identical anymore.

I love the ninjas. No one is a pallet swap anymore. I wouldnt mind at all if there were more ninjas, as long as they all have there own distinctive and unique look.

How can people say the ninjas are unoriginal? Scorpion and Sub-Zero pretty much made Mortal Kombat. I'll agree they werent that original back in the pallette swap days, but you have to look deeper in each character and not be so closed minded and judge them all just because they are ninjas. Scorpion is a spectre, SubZero is a Grandmaster (even his brother hated being called a ninja, as they were japanese oriented), Noob Saibot is a demonic shadow entity, Ermac is a collaboration of souls, Smoke is also Lin Kuei now cyborg, Reptile is now a reptile, etc. They each have distinct looks, moves, stories, and motives... they are completely original characters now in my eyes... Some dont even appear to be that ninja like... SubZero looks more like a Samurai than ninja, with that Shredder helmet. Im all for ninjas, they are the warriors who got my into liking MK as someone stated before in the first place, next to the gods and sorcerers.

By far explined it best

I also agree with Doombringer. Their individual characters not just ninjas. The MKD roster is just fine so far.

I don't think there is a problem with having this amount of ninja's or even more in this game. They are all totally different in appearance and will be in their moves and fighting styles as well.

And because of this there really isn't any issue with it.

It's like saying there are too many human fighters as well. They all may look different, but they're still the same race!!

What's the problem!??

What he said.

Ninjas are just Ok.
Never liked them.
Too many in the game.

(I mean MALE ninjas)

Kitana and Mileena are the best Ninjas for me. The others are just....so boring. All expect Ermac maybe.

I will have to see their storylines and moves in this game, but yeah, we need more diversity.

I've never really considered Kitana, Mileena, or Jade as a part of the ninja crowd. And why can't we just drop this "no more ninjas" protest, and wait for the damn game to come out first. By all means when it comes out and you want something to bitch about, you're free to complain about whatever you want. But we don't even know how the game plays, and barely what it's going to end up looking like. The ninjas will always be a part of Mortal Kombat, like it or not, you constant ranting will not change the roster for this game.

Funny thing about this is, no matter how many characters in the MK series you see wearing a ninja outfit, only one of them was (keyword: WAS) a ninja in a traditional sense, and that was (once again, WAS) Pre-mortem Scorpion, who we have only seen in MK Mythologies as the first boss in that game. If there are ANY new ninjas, I would like to see them have traditional ninja moves, like smoke bombs that blind enemies who get too close, or throwing shurikens. The shurikens were only used once in the series, and that was by someone who was not even a "ninja", that being Reiko.

I HATE Reiko...

I think the ninjas are what really break Mortal Kombat away from the other fighting games. I think if you had your wish and alot of them wre goneI bet yould miss them very quickly. I would love a game thats actually ALL ninjas fighting eachother.

Well, that's exactly what almost killed the MK series! We start with two ninjas! Then two ninjas became three (MK1 revision 3.0)! Next, three ninjas became five (MK2 prototypes). Then Five ninjas became EIGHT (MK2 revision 2.1, I think). And NOW we start reducing the "ninjas", back to two or three (MK3, don't remember what revision Smoke was added, and Noob Saibot used Kano's sprite, due to lack of Ninja sprite)! Then what happens? Fanboys start complaining that SCORPION is gone! UMK3 comes along, and what is SUPPOSED to be THREE ninjas all over again QUICKLY escalates to...let's see...three plus four...that's seven, plus three! Hmm... that makes ten. Add two, and you have TWELVE ninjas! Include Rain's cameo in the attract mode and you already have yourself THIRTEEN NINJAS! MK Trilogy comes along! WHOOPDIE-DOO! The C/Khameleon thing boosts the number of ninjas to FIFTEEN (fourteen ninjas per version). And yes, this is including Female, Male, and Male cyborg ninjas!

MK4 had the obvious solution to the "Ninja" surplus! Make one of them no longer a Ninja (Reptile), and reduce the number of Ninjas to THREE, which eventually became two in revision 2, then three again on home consoles. Not only that, but make sure they have different outfits, too! Even MK Gold kept the ninja supply IN CHECK! Only one new "ninja" has been introduced since MKT, and that is Frost. MKDA did a damn good job at keeping the ninja supply in check, but MK Deception seems to be repeating the same mistake made in UMK3!

The ninja's are fine now...they all have their own look so it's not really a big deal.
