Baraka of course.

Next......Sindel and Ermac.

I can't pick just one, but I am interested in playing as:

Baraka (haven't played MKgold, so its been awhile)
Ermac
Noob
Kenshi
Nightwolf
Kabal
Smoke (if he is human, I will be really pissed if he is another copy off scorpion again haha)

I know thats a lot, but eh

Ermac, and Smoke, and I agree Smoke better not be another scorpion rip off, I want to see some original moves and such for him. Other than that, im looking forward to the storyline of the game itself rather then characters, the whole conquest mode intriges me with the rumors of every character making an appearence from all MKs there, sounds sweet.

Looking forward mostly to:

Ermac to see the him break out of the pallet swap mold into a character of his own.

Noob because I'm intruiged as to how they've changed him from his shadowy nature... and if they screw it up.

Baraka, because he has the most potential for bloodletting.

Johnny Cage of course.But confirmed then its Ben,Kira,Mileena,an Baraka.
Long Live Johnny Cage.

Kira
New Shokan
Nightwolf

But more than any other:

Sektor

Noob,Ermac,Smoke,Sektor,Kabal

Definately SINDEL, i would have said mileena but ive seen so much pics on her. And since they havent really shown anything on SINDEL yet that makes me really want to play as her. She was my FAV. in MK3. In the Arcades i would be "MASTER" with her and then i did some cheat where you fight ERMAC and if you do a "MERCY" on him you got a free credit. So i played forever. haha.

Kitana or Kung Lao if they r in it; otherwise:
Sindel, Noob Saibot, and Nightwolf!!!

From what I know right now, it would have to be Kabal

Baraka, i simply cant wait to play as him. Its been a while, and he will be my first character to play as.

Next is smoke, i'm DIEING to see his new looks and special moves, not to mention fatalities. I'm curious as to what weapons and styles he will have.

And then theres noob. Nothing much to say except he 0wn3z, i'm glad there taking him seriously and giving him a decent role in MK.

Ermac and Kabal.

Mileena, I hope she is great!

i look forward to playing as kenshi, sub-zero, sindel, scorpion, smoke, and ermac. of the new characters, i look forward to playing as ashrah.

I've heard that Sektor will be in MK:Deception.I'm really looking forward to his special moves,styles,weapon and fatalitys.
I'm also looking forward to making my own monk.I'm gonna make sure he's badass.
I'm also looking forward to Scorpion,Sub Zero,Tanya,Bo Rai Cho,Kabal,Ermac and Noob Saibot.

Definately Liu Kang.

I can't wait to play as Mileena, she looks excellent!
Kira is also sounding interesting, and NightWolf, Hotaro, Ashrah, Sindel and Tanya should hopefully all be good.

Baraka, then Kenshi, Ermac, Noob, Sub-Zero, Scorpion and, if rumor is true, Sektor

I'm looking forward to playing as Tanya, Baraka, Sindel and Mileena mostly! I haven't seen Tanya yet but the other 3 look amazing, especially Mileena!

Out of the classics, Baraka, Mileena, Kabal and Li Mei.

So far from the new intake, Hotaru and Kira.

Ermac,Smoke,Kabal,Noob Saibot

Noob Saibot, Kabal, and if the rumors are true Sektor and Sareena.

Mainly I want to play Sub-Zero, as always. But I'm also very intrigued by Ashrah. The concept of a demon hunter is really interesting to me.

Past that, I'm looking forward to Kira, Scorpion, Kabal and Mileena.

SUB-ZERO!!!!!!!! then Smoke then Hotaru then Sindel then ermac.....and so on
