More. In total, i want deception to have more characters than there were in DA. Probably 5 more added onto DA's max characters.

However, i dont want there to be any "copying" or any of the characters to have any resemblence that the others do. I want every character to have there OWN set of things. If that can happen, which is most likely should, then we're talking bussiness here.

1 or 2 new characters should suffice. they should really build up on older characters IMO,

I agree with NextGenMK. I say only a handful of new characters, no more than four tops. The reason being is that there's plenty of past Mortal Kombat characters, such as Sindel, Sektor, Fujin, Baraka, Nightwolf, Mileena, Kabal, Mavado, and Nitara, for example, that have only been in one 'main' (as in not cheap upgrade like UMK3 or MK Gold) to date. I'd like to see some of the characters that made a brief appearance in a single game to come back and expand on their story lines.

If the game debuts with five or more new characters, that's just fewer former characters that can return. I don't want an insane 30+ character roster either, as I doubt they can keep it fresh with such a large number of playable characters, so I'd rather they focus on giving us a decent-sized roster (20-25) and making everyone individualized over 'how many people can we put in this game.'

5 new out and open and 3 secret
