Smoke, Jax, Rayden, Dairou, Kira, Liu Kang, the new sub boss, Kabal, and Sektor have all been confirmed by various magazines, internet sites, interviews etc, yet all we've seen from any of these characters is one crappy drawing of Kira.
I don't want to sound ungrateful for the E3 coverage. It was great, and the mods pretty much got EVERYTHING that could be had from the show. But these characters (not to mention rumored characters like Quan Chi, Sonya, Skab, Shang Tsung, etc) have been talked about for some time now, and we've seen nothing of them.
Does anyone know which of these characters are still confirmed, which have been disproven as rumors or bad press? The longer we wait, the more worried I get that some of these characters (most notably Kabal and Sektor) won't be in the game. I know that Boon and co don't want to tip their hand completely and show us everything months before the game release, but it seems like there was a constant flow of information up until E3 and now the newsline is dead.
So why would the MK team confirm some of these characters and not show them at all since confirmation? The news on these characters has nothing to do with E3, so why the apparent lid on all news? Anyone care to venture a guess, or a rant?
