For those who dont remember or were not around, JamessMK correctly leaked or "predicted" MKXs roster back around this time in 2015. He just went at it again on his Twitter page. For those curious, heres what he had to say;
Fatalities, Brutalities and Animality return.
Roster is; Sonya, Cassie, Johnny, Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Skarlet, Baraka, Kronika, Kitana, Shang Tsung, Raiden, Kabal, Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Geras Cyrax, Sektor, Reptile, Stryker, Ermac, Kano, Noob Saibot, Smoke, New, New, Jade, Mileena, Fujin & Reiko.
29 spots. 25 main roster and 4 potential DLC if the other 2 Re guests in KP1. Time will tell.
If true, most of the UMK3 cast would be included, of course with the exception of Nightwolf, Sindel, Jax & Sheeva. I just want me some more Tanya tbh.
Not true
Ed Boon or someone else of the team said that there is just one more new character for a total of three.
Also 25 total base Roster is confirmed by now.
Plus, Jax was leaked by the banned beta tester.

Nobody has reported that there's only one more new character so source please. The 25 is not confirmed, since we don't know if Shao Kahn will take a spot or not. The banned beta tester's leak has not been proven so far.
That being said, I highly doubt that roster is true and this time it's indeed a guess. Only Cassie to return from MKX? No Kotal Kahn? Stryker? All male ninjas? Both Sektor and Cyrax? Reiko? No Kenshi? Highly doubt it and sounds like a wishlist. Would be highly disappointing to just undo MKX and go with mostly MK9 characters.
The real Smoke.
I'd be stoked if this were the roster. Looking for some Noob, Smoke, Fujin and Reiko! Havik would be a nice bonus too.
I don't believe it though sadly.
humm... No rain?
Surely they wouldnt dare not to add him on the roster again... right?... right?
Even though I tend to roll my eyes hard when it comes to roster “leaks”, this dude has been right on the money too many times to ignore. Dude’s got ties to NRS and the FGC that goes back decades.
With that being said, he had said he promised someone he wouldn’t leak the roster this time...so maybe he’s trolling? This roster is super safe, though. And Ed pretty much said they’d be leaning hard into returning favorites this game.
*sigh*...needs more Havik.

Well, it definitely goes in line with what Boon was saying about bringing back a ton of fan favorites. So it's totally believable.
Fujin & Reiko representing for the 3D era are solid choices considering they were definitely the most requested characters for MKX. That said, I'm just a little disappointed they're the only two- especially with the likes of Stryker making the cut. I like Stryker and I know he has some fans, but we really don't need another Special Forcers/Police type character, Sonya and Cassie are good enough. They definitely could've given that spot to Havik or Rain or Tanya or anyone else. Either of those 3 are pretty solid and fan favorite choices that would make more sense.
One bright spot is no Jax. God he's so useless.
I'll still take this with a grain of salt.
Wasn't his leak on MKX fake? Just take a look on this thread I linked below. Besides I doubt Jax isn't in.

He posted the correct list later in that thread.
Well then, if it is real, I'm really surprised there is no Jax given how even Kano is in. Aside from that, I'm fine with the roster, Reiko and Fujin are most likely the DLC characters.
I don't find this roster believable, but assuming it is correct for the sake of argument, I don't like it.
My biggest problem with this franchise is all the one and done new characters they introduce in each chapter, only to then immediately abandon by the next game, never to use again.
Skarlet's return was a step in the right direction. But the only interesting choices on this roster besides her are Fujin & Reiko. Everything else is just shuffling around the old standards. And (surprise surprise) once again, no characters at all from Deadly Alliance through Armageddon. (Just throw us ONE (who isn't Kenshi) PER GAME as a bone! COME ON!)
I liked some of the MKX newbies, and I disliked some of the MKX newbies, but if they're truly only going to stick with ONE out of EIGHT of them... that's a friggin' shame. Most of them already have more depth and character established than anyone from the PS2 era... I'd hate to see them all discarded. At a BARE MINIMUM Cassie & Kotal should return. I'd be much happier if at least 4 returned.
I do not think it is real or I disagree with his prediction. There is a distinct lack of Outworld characters and many of the new characters have been dropped. Wonder how Cassie made it on the roster and the rest of the team went by the wayside. Reptile is in but none of the other characters supporting Kotal Kahn do not? It looks very off to me.
Stryker over Rain . . . . . what the fuck
makes me feel like this just happened to me

25 characters at launch is set in stone.
Ed Boon said live during the L. A. show that there is another new character.
Not sure how i feel about this roster. A couple of favorites are in like Reptile and Smoke, but needs a few more 3D era characters like Havik and Frost, and more than 1 character from MKX newbies though i didn't like many of them, more than just Cassie. Saw someones mock image of final roster and it matches this, but don't know if I believe it. Looking forward to Combat Casts to shed more light soon.
Dear God! And ya'll thought MKX was playing it safe with their roster choices....
I really hope this isn't accurate. What was the point of MKX, if so? This is just an MK9 rehash with new mechanics if true.
And they are, once again, ignoring the one OT character that has been severely underutilized and heavily requested (Rain)?? Ugh. I'm over it....
This better not be real.
Wow. Everyone needs to quit bitching. If you don't like the characters, make your own game. Or go play tekken.
Dedicated, hopeless...Li Mei fan.
I want to wait and actually observe the roster before I make judgements. However, it does get tiresome to see NRS constantly creating interesting (though often flawed) characters that they IMMEDIATELY drop the next game before they get a chance to develop or improve. I understand that you need those precious sacred cows, but dang man...
Wow. Everyone needs to quit bitching. If you don't like the characters, make your own game. Or go play tekken.
And as the internet has taught us all, the best solution for bitching is bitching about the bitching.
Stryker over Rain . . . . . what the fuck
makes me feel like this just happened to me
Stryker is the only thing that truly makes me doubt this roster. Armageddon and MK9 did decent jobs at leveling this character up, but Stryker has to still be one of the LEAST requested Trilogy characters. I've seen more people clamoring for Khameleon and Chameleon than Stryker.
I just don't buy it.
