Fan service = cut out the male ninjas??

I wish people who liked the classic ninjas would be more vocal on Twitter. I guess we are all fat and happy.

The vocal minority as they say...

Can you Reptile and Rain fans stop screeching?

Like damn, Rain is my FAVORITE character- but if he's not in, then so be it. Reptile especially is an iconic and beloved character- just because he may miss one game doesn't mean he's being treated unfairly.

Congrats, now you know how the rest of us normally feels when our favorites don't make it in but your precious Reptile always does.

Not trying to pick a fight, but please, enough.

1) Shang Tsung

2) Sindel- As I predicted. Sweet

3) Nightwolf- I predicted, great!

4) Fujin-Finally! Yes, as I predicted.

5) Sheeva - The Curveball. I did not predict her- but I'm not surprised judging from her appearance in story mode. She looks pretty cool and I'm all for Sheeva finally getting a chance to shine outside of nostalgia collections like MKT/MKA/MK9. So that's cool. I was rooting for a Li Mei but I guess she'll suffice.

With Spawn, Ash, Joker, and Terminator- that makes 9 DLC thus far,- so there's at least another 3 DLC we don't know about to make it a total of 12 across two Kombat Packs- I would hope those are MK characters as the pattern will most likely be 4 MK characters and 2 guests per pack

Kombat Pack 1-

Shang Tsung

Sindel

Nightwolf

Fujin

Spawn

Terminator

Kombat Pack 2-

Sheeva

MK Character

MK Character

MK Character

Joker

Ash

I'm not buying any of the guests. They're pretty lame choices and I hate Ash.

Regarding those other 3 DLC spots: in another thread on here (I can't recall which one atm) there was a picture posted of some files from somewhere else in the game (not sure which version) that were similar to these but listed Mileena, Rain, Cyrax, and Sektor. Which would actually bring us to 13 DLC. I would have thought Mileena was 100% out after Kitana having her moves and sais but I guess not? It's hard to argue with files from the game, you know. And as for the number of DLC, I guess the two "seasons" simply won't have the exact same amount of characters in each. It looks like season two will have 7 rather than 6.

In my defense... I said early on that Reptile deserves a sit out this time. & Ermac... but I expected them to be replaced with 2 of the 3 remaining ninjas... smoke, Noob, or rain.

Instead we got one replacement for reptile and ermac getting cut.

I only main main the male ninjas (historically... the female ninjas look dope in this game, might main... no more stupid bathing suits) so my mains have diminished. That’s why I am sad.

I was expecting DLC to be kind to me.

Takeda is in Shao Kahn's arcade ending, and killed, but arcade endings are usually "what if" scenarios. I would not mind if he did return.

As for what guest characters made the roster, Boon, and others, have explained in past interviews that it's a lengthy, complicated process to obtain a guest character. Fees for licensing the character can be too high to come to a deal, or the owner(s) of the guest character do not agree with how their property will be used. There have been guests that NRS wanted for prior games, but the deals fell through, for whatever reasons. Sure, Pennywise may be an obvious choice, but licensing him may have been too expensive, or the owner(s) were not interested. I am not a fan of guest characters, and I suspect many MK fans feel the same way, but they usually make the most $, and that helps keep our beloved franchises funded for future games.

I understand. But perhaps this may be a time to venture out.

However, don't give up hope just yet- nothing is concrete yet. And even when they do reveal who's in Kombat Pack 1- we still won't know who's for sure in Kombat Pack 2 until that's revealed much later.

We won't know until we know.

I have a serious question because I didn't read the comics or know the story of her. Why does so many people want Sareena in this game? What makes her cool/special. Is it the story or her design? I really want to know because I know almost nothing about her. And I am curios.

It's not some big reason- most people just think she's a cool character that should be given a shot in a big main MK title.

That's really it.

It's also looking like the rumors/speculation about Stryker being DLC have not panned out unless his file just hasn't been discovered yet. If it is in there that would even the numbers out to 7 in each KP (sorry I'm a bit OCD lol). And that would still be 39 characters total which would not contradict what Boon said in the GameInformer interview about a total of "thirty something".

Imo, Kollector is replacing Reptile, and I am ok with this. Sure, it's not Reptile's fault he was mostly crap in MKX, but they can't seem to get Reptile right post UMK3 (MK9 was a rehash of MK1-3). I am fine with Reptile sitting out while they figure what to do with him (hint: stop making him a slobbering, hunchbacked drool bucket that has no other purpose than being a lackey for the "big bad" -- focusing on trying to revive his species, and Khameleon, is wiser).

IF Stryker turns out to be in as DLC as well then that means they're leaving out 1 character each (not including boss characters and Chameleon/Khameleon who were basically non-canon) from each of the original three installments: Reptile from MK1, Smoke from MK2, and Ermac from UMK3. Looking on the bright side for fans of those characters I would say it will almost certainly make them a lock for MK12.

So based on every thing every one has contributed to this thread including the Switch file leaks and other information, here are all the POSSIBLE names that *may* indeed be in the running for DLC in MK11-

Shang Tsung- 100% Confirmed

Sindel- HIGHLY LIKELY

Fujin- HIGHLY LIKELY

Nightwolf- HIGHLY LIKELY

Sheeva- HIGHLY LIKELY

The following characters were also mentioned in a PREVIOUS leak as possible DLC- that previous leak supported the characters above- which is turning out pretty accurate based on the SWITCH files-

Reiko- VERY POSSIBLE

Sareena- VERY POSSIBLE

Li Mei- VERY POSSIBLE

Takeda- VERY POSSIBLE

The remainder are character files that have been stated to also be in the game. I'm conflicted because Cyrax and Sektor are in story mode like Sheeva and seem to be playing substantial roles- but the only thing that throws this list off is Mileena. Would they really put Mileena in despite already giving Kitana her special moves? Personally I don't think so...

Cyrax- PLAUSIBLE

Sektor- PLAUSIBLE

Rain- PLAUSIBLE

Mileena- MAYBE

Also, as we all know, there are some hints as Stryker- So

Stryker- RUMORED.

Place your bets, folks.

If we're going to get that desperate and ridiculous- I'd rather have a kick-ass Neve Campbell as a Mortal Kombat re-imagined Sidney Prescott. Now that, I'd pay top dollar for that! Especially after seeing how good she looked in that movie Skyscraper-

Now that would be dope as fuck, especially with it being a female guest character.

I'd even accept Ghostface for the sake of Sidney having a suitable opponent to kill.

So true.

Mk1-3 reptile is my favorite character. Haven’t liked what they’ve done with him in any rendition since. Mkx got a little better... they added a voice at least and he looked a little more ninja-like.

Sure, Pennywise may be an obvious choice, but licensing him may have been too expensive, or the owner(s) were not interested.

Pennywise is owned by Warner Bros. He's in-house. It Chapter 2 is also hitting theaters this September- perfect opportunity for cross-promotion.

But there could be other reasonings as to why they didn't go with him, perhaps they just didn't want too. I don't know. I honestly don't care that much. But he would've been the only guest I would've purchased.

Shang Tsung, Sheeva, Nightwolf, Sindel, Fujin - great, especially Fujin and Sheeva. if true, im all for those. but hope for some more MK kharacters.

Spawn, Terminator - if really guests, those two are ok. Joker? not buying at all. i bought Premium Edition, so if hes in KP1, i will not play him, maybe just one tower and thats all. in Injustice 2 i hate him most, so i leveled him up to level 20 with those golds and using him as fighting dummy.Ash, the Evil Dead one? totaly useless, so proly as something like Joker, playing-wise.

I agree, IT 2 = Pennywise is a obvious choice, especially considering the huge earnings success of IT 1. Pennywise has big name recognition, now. That is my reasoning (guess) on Joker -- new movie based on him releasing later this year by Warner Bros. Considering Pennywise bit the arm off a kid in the first 5 minutes of IT 1, he would fit nicely in MK11. Who knows why he is not on the DLC files, but possibly in the future. Boon has noted, more than once, that Spawn has been in consideration in the past, and that appears to be a reality, finally.

Personally, my dream guest is Pinhead from Hellraiser. Hoo wee, what I wouldn't give for a cenobite kombat pack. Imagine if they hired Doug Bradley to reprise his... ok, I gotta stop there. Ah, to dream...

I'm just excited at the possibility of us hearing Sheeva say other things besides "FOR THE SHOKAN!". XD

I really can't wait to see her intros with every single character.

I saw on Tumblr someone made a comparison between Sheeva's MK11 face and WWE wrestler Ember Moon- they look almost identical which makes me think she probably did the voice and face for Sheeva in this game.

I really think this might be the best incarnation of Sheeva judging by how awesome she looked in that brief story mode clip- she definitely does look like the ultimate Shokan warrior and seeing her backing Kitana gave me all sorta feels.

Nothing is confirmed until we see it and considering there's more concrete evidence of her not being in(Uh, Kitana having her moves, hello) than the opposite- No, I'm not going to deal with it.

There's a small possibility that she still may make it. But it's not a given. Especially considering she was not listed in that leak that the Switch files are starting to reveal as accurate.

I think it might have been in that long ass spoiler thread where someone posted the screen of files that had Mileena, Rain, Cyrax, and Sektor listed. The words "athenapurchase" were also in these file names if I remember right.
