So they cut all three psychic characters, but kept all the stupid military bullshit women? What a waste!

This story = gonna be basic, boring and all about Special Forces and kids again, the three names are probably Terminator + two new kids, Kano's and Liu Kang/Kitana's son.

Has there actually been anything to suggest Terminator is likely?

Today is the first I've seen anyone suggest him, but he's on that roster creator in the other thread, and now we have TER... and I find myself asking, is this something that's been rumored already?

That said, Terminator was a guest character in a WWE game a few years ago, and Netherealm does have pre-existing business ties with WWE & WWE Games. So it's not... entirely farfetched.

Everybody chill. Wait and see before you fly off the handle.

No REP or HAV huh? Well I'll keep hoping they'll make DLC. Happy to see Kotal back however.

I had 3 characters I wanted in: a classic (Reptile) a returnee from X (Kotal) and a 3D Character (Havik)

So far I got Kotal with the bonus of Baraka (whom I desperately wanted in X) so I'm not angry from what's being leaked.

I'm honestly not surprised. I've been saying ever since we saw the tower modifier I thought Reptile would be cut. A lot of people have been insisting that he has one of the best "never sat out records" of any character... but to that I say, "So you're saying he's overdue to sit out?"

As for Havik, don't get me wrong, I'd LOVE to see him come back... but people were just as vocal for Havik before MKX as they are now, and it obviously didn't do us any damned good then either, so... while we can all continue to hope and dream, let's face it, it's never shocking to see them ignore a 3D era character. (Copy/Paste everything I just said for Fujin or Reiko if you feel the need to)

This may not be my 100% ideal roster... but I'd call it a passable one. They threw the PS2 era a new bone with Frost. Brought back an acceptable amount of MKX newbies and plenty of veterans. Injected some new blood (I honestly think it would be fairly disappointing if Geras was the only newbie)...

I'm guessing Frost made it for the same reason she got the cameo in MKX. She functions as a defacto Kombat Kid, even if she's been around since MKDA. Assuming 1 of those mystery names is Kano's hotly rumored son, they're likely trying to add new blood to the younger generation roster.

And oh look, no Rain. Color me not at all shocked.

Reptile is overdue to sit one out and yet let's have more Sonya, Kano and Kung Lao cuz they're not stale as fuck no sir.

I figured as much the Towers of Time deconfirmed him but hey, never give up hope and I'm not gonna lose my cool over it either. I like MKX well enough to play it on the side if he isn't there. Just so long as he's not jobbed out to death or turned into Onaga.

I've pictured Havik as DLC to begin with. A character like that you can stick anywhere. Like in the comic for example.

I'm not as happy for more new characters, I'd rather we all take it very slow and develop what we have now lest we end up like the PS2 Era , Soul Calibur V or Tekken 7

I'm not happy at all with new characters, they are gonna get wasted in the end... I love some new characters, but Ed Boon doesn't have the same taste as myself, he mostly likes the human characters. I'm sure D'vorah wasn't his choice, but Jacqui and Cassie are...

If we were to go off of that and look at 8 potential MK folk as DLC, I think these guys are most likely;

Shang, Mileena, Reptile, Smoke, Quan Chi, Jax, Li Mei, Fujin. Everyone on that list of 8 has been mentioned as being requested A LOT and NRS has kept around in terms of 3D era. Bo and Tanya are out obviously as not doing DLC twice in a row, and Kenshi is possible but highly unlikely.

8?

How are you coming up with those numbers?

RE: Reptile sitting out...

You know I was just chewing on this. Asking myself, "but what would be the reason?"

And by that I mean, Mileena doesn't need a reason to sit out. She's dead. No one will question it. Reptile on the other hand, should still be alive, well and working for Kotal, so he'll need an excuse to not be around....

To that end... we know Kronika's motive already. NRS flat out told us. Raiden has given the forces of good too big an advantage, and Kronika needs to reset the balance. Presumably by aiding evil...

Now... in addition to all that... Kronika is the one character in this scenario who seems to understand the way things were SUPPOSED to be... she knows what fate these characters were SUPPOSED to have... and so I ask myself, "What was SUPPOSED to happen to Reptile right about this time in the old timeline?" ... Seems to me... after Kahn had been dethroned, and Shinnok defeated, and Shujinko had grown to an old man (as we know he already has from the comic or Cassie's ending if you prefer in-game)... about this time in the old canon... Reptile was SUPPOSED to get possessed by a big angry mach truck of scaly dragon evil named Onaga. (Which consequently, was the only time Reptile sat out before now)

SO... I ask myself... If Kronika is trying to give the forces of evil a booster shot. And we're right about in line with the time Deception was supposed to happen in the old timeline. And Reptile is conspicuously absent from the board.

Are all these things related?

Do I think Onaga will be in this game? No. But do I think Reptile could be a component in Kronika's plan. I do. Maybe.

Do we have our boss for MK12? I'd be okay with it.

then i'll have to speak to them they gave inj 2 10 (including darkseid) dlc 3 kps each
if we don't get 50+ characters in this game then i will forever hate them and never buy their games ever again

Ah. Well much as I want it, I doubt we'll get Classics from X as DLC.

Maybe 9 but I don't see NRS desiring to go that route at least not for the first pack. I do think Spawn will be in it since he was rather coy in mentioning it but I bet the rest will be actual surprises ie characters we didn't expect.

And you're way more optimistic with your guest to MK ratio cuz I'm expecting half and half

I don't think we'll get such a huge amount of classic fighters as DLC, based on the chosen characters for MKX's Kombat Packs (and there were quite a few Trilogy guys they could've picked). But who knows, maybe they changed their minds and there won't be any downloadable 3D era/obscure characters.

Skarlet was literally the only character introduced in 9, and we already have her.

At the point they added anyone else from 9, they'd be adding someone from the trilogy era. Or Quan Chi & Kenshi.

I'm personally hoping for a 4/2 ratio on guest characters, because 50/50 ratio on guest characters in MKX pissed me off immensely. I bought the Kollector's Edition, assuming the value would be there on the Kombat Pack (as the characters hadn't been announced yet, much like they haven't now), and it turns out I didn't even want half of it. I don't think I was the only one who felt shafted by that.

That said, my fool ass made the same assumption this time, and bought the Premium Edition, lol. So I guess I learned nothing. (Eh, what can I say, as a fan I hope for the best)

Also I believe Injustice did a 4/2 ratio with guests, did it not?

In a perfect world I'd prefer a 6/0 ratio, with NO guests, buuuuuut, we all know that's a pipedream.

Just saw someone on reddit suggest TER could be Terrafaux

Seems like a longshot, but I admit I'd vastly prefer that to Terminator.
