With the new story line likely to be about different time lines, time travel, alternate versions of characters showing up, what characters do you want to see and have a realistic chance of making it. Characters like Hsu Hao, Meat or Mokap definitely will not be part of any MK roster going forward so please do not bother.

1. Havik - The character with the most potential for this type of story is simply Havik. Forget the chaos and order realms, stupid dichotomy anyway. Just the idea of a character born to create chaos to be behind the scenes or assigned by the female - potential Elder God - standing next to the hour glass would just be perfect. He could pull strings, use spells and has lots of ways to customise a pretty solid attempt the first time around. It would be a serious missed opportunity to not include him after what Kittelsen did with him in the comics. To me it's do or die, if they cannot find a way to include him now then you won't see him again unless Warner Bros pushes for him as DLC, but I doubt it, or an Armageddon game down the line.

2. Shang Tsung - Pretty much a given he's in, but still would like to make a case for what I hope he will bring to the game. To me, the best version of Shang Tsung is his original MK1 (movie and game) story with his ability to influence anyone and take his minions' soul whenever he feels like it. He needs to get that back and preferably change forms - so turn into any character temporarily - to get where he needs to go. I hope his look is similar to his MK1 look, elder sorcerer with the dead eyes from MK2 and he gets a big role. With Shao Kahn dead he could serve Onaga or whoever's the big bad, but with the aim to either take total control. He could use Havik to create chaos as well.

3. Onaga - With all the leaks and how the story seems to continue after MK4 it's highly likely also for Onaga to be in. I like the idea of a Dragon King, though more closely resembling the MK dragon logo as the ultimate big bad ass and not that awful winged two-legged freak who actually resembles Shao Kahn with the new helmet in the trailer. Him having some kind of Goro features would be awesome, the 4 arms maybe :)

4. Fujin - With the original MK4 ending, his involvement in MKX and Raiden now turning bad it's time for Fujin to take the place of protector of Earth Realm! It just is. Give him the power to control all earth's elements and you'd have a great character. There's so much potential for him, adorned by the Elder Gods and bestowed upon him even greater mystical powers to lead the 'good' side.

5. Baraka - yes I am biased, he's my favorite of all the 2D characters with the blades and just scary demonic look. This is what MKX lacked and in general MK franchise has lacked: a true monster who is just ruthless and created to just kill anyone for no good reason. Come on, who can honestly say they didn't enjoy him at one point or another. His slashing scissors cutting move from MK2 is still my favorite move ever. With the way NRS is going, customisation and even more gore and blood how could you not include this guy?

So much potential with Fatalities, slashing moves and add even more to him like the face spikes in MKX in terms of look, but even game play wise. He doesn't have to be just a guy with blades coming out of his arms. MKX showed his greatest look to date and to me it was a big FU to his fans with giving him such a great look, a part of the story only to kill him off just like that. He has only shown up in 2 main games out of 7 (MK9 & Armageddon were basically all characters from prior games) and it's time. I also fear if they again skip him, he will suffer the same fate as Havik, which would be a major disappointment. He was even in MK vs DC universe and to me and plenty of people very iconic to the MK series.

In terms of the story it would make sense with the return of Shang Tsung for him to create a new Tarkatan from the flesh pits and just revive Baraka's soul into a whole new and improved, stronger and a bit different looking body too. He's the ultimate killer and I would welcome a new tarkatan, even if it's a female and or with a new name, though Baraka as a name is as bad ass as it can get aside from Shinnok and Goro. Speaking of which, we need the MK2 announcer back, the way he pronounced Baraka was just perfect.


So your thoughts on mine and your own lists, appreciate it :)

If these 5 characters are in then I will finally be able to get excited for another MK game again for the first time possibly since MK9...

1) Fujin
2) Rain
3) Sareena
4) Li Mei
5) Frost

That's all I need. Some good ole' 3D era love. Honerable mentions of course go to Bo'Rai Cho, Ashrah, Nitara, and Havik.

Havik- for pretty much every reason you mentioned. Havik is my favorite 3D character and I gotta believe this game is his time to shine.

Shang Tsung- The OG boss of the series went down with a whimper in MK9. It was a damn crime.

Noob Saibot- Bo Rai Cho’s warning to Kuai Liang that his brother should remain unfound was a nice bit of foreshadowing. His absence from MKX really stuck out, perhaps more so than any other. I’d love to find out what he’s been up to.

Onaga- The Dragon King returned to claim his amulet and his army once, with all the timeline shenanigans that are sure to play out, it’s impossible for me to believe that Onaga won’t rise again.

Sareena- along with Fujin, she’s been one of the most requested characters. This is more of a personal preference from me and I could easily replace her with Fujin...but we all know what Tobias would say about that.

Wouldn't mind seeing at least one cyborg represented, either. Could be possible if the story does indeed involve time travel.
I wasnt too excited for mkx. Part of that could be because I watched and follower everything pre release. I mat stay away this time but I'm dying to know if fujin is in. I wont include my fflavs that we know will be in like sub-zero or liu kang. Anyways my top 5 is

1. Fujin- I feel like he's a close lock. Fans have been clamoring for him and with raiden turning bad earth realm may now lean on fujin.

2. Kai- big fan of this guy. Hope he takes the mantle of earth realm champion he was supposed to take in mk4. Hated his armageddon look and hope they stick more to his mk 4 look.

3. Drahmin- really like this guy. His potential as well as their.

4. Havik- He's very interesting. His potential is mind boggling and I'm shocked nrs hasnt included him in any more games.

5. Hotaru- he has potential as well and I liked him in mkd. Wish he had a more expansive move set but he had a good story arc.

Reptile:

I don't played him much in MKX because he wasn't fun to play. I just hope NRS gave him a better Moveset und Finishers. So i want him in the game.

Fujin:

I love Kharacters who can control an element. So Fujin is a must have in MK11.

D'Vorah:

I like her look and her attitude. She has a unique "aura" around her and an interesting story. Yes, i want to see her in MK11.

Ferra/Goro:

I want them gameplaywise back. We need some big Badasses who are more with Throws and heavy Punches. I can't see anyone else in the leaked roster who can take this role.

Sektor:

The chance might be small to see him in MK11, but Sektor was always one of my favorites so i hope he makes the cut (maybe as DLC).

Not a bad roster! Only thing is I might would have Johnny, Sonya, and Jax as DLC and replace their spots with Tanya, Jacqui and Kung Jin.

As long as I get at least 5 3D era characters that doesn't include Quan Chi and Kenshi(they can be in the game, no issues with that, but I want 5 more characters from that era in addition to them) then I'll more than likely be absolutely fine with the roster either way.

I'd put Sub-Zero in the list, but he's an automatic shoe-in.

Unlikely?

My list for mk11 characters:

1. Sareena I just loved her character from sub zero mythologies and enjoyed what I saw of her in mk armagedeon. Just would love to see what they could do with her once they flesh her out a bit and she had a big role in mkx with earth realm in the netherrealm.

2. Skarlet One of my favorite dlc characters in mk9. Her orgin story was cool and her ending was tops. Just her whole style just sat with me well. And her fatralities were fantastic too.

3. Mileena My favorite character in this game hands down. Love her more playstyle wise in mk9 than I did x but loved her appearance and personality more in mkx. She has been my favorite character since mk2 back in the early 90s and she will always be a favorite. If she makes it in as DLC that would work if not part of the main roster.

4. Noob Saibot Just cause he was an amazing spammy character in mk9. Never met anyone online that didn't just zone from miles away with his shadow attacks, but when I did play against someone who used him well enough it was awesome. Noob fatalities in mk9 were awesome too as well as his basic move set.

5. This can be a4 way tie or such cause I wanna see nitara, kira, havik and or shang tsung. All I play tons in the 3d era and shang in mk9. shang was just fun setting up his sorcery juggles and getting people to zone into them for big damage. Nitara would just be cool cause you only got er in deadly alliance, kira had a meh story in deception and havik was the 3d character that had me interested in his realm and lore.

From each game I'd choose the following even if they aren't appearing or won't:

1. From the original it would have to be Johnny Cage. Call me a sucker for some comic reliefe but that Nut Punch cracks me up all the time. However I heard he didn't make the cut but his daughter did.

2. From MKII it would definitely be Noob Saibot. Black is my favorite color and his ninja outfit is my favorite color. He is also my favorite from MK1, being Bi Han that is. I've always liked the original Sub-Zero over his younger brother.

3. From the third game I'd choose Rain. He was that elusive purple ninja that eventually became something more. His moves in Trilogy were pretty interesting.

4. From MK4 I'd go with Reiko. Haven't seen too much of him since Armageddon and his redesign there was awesome!

5. Deadly Alliance wasn't my favorite and none of the 3D games were but to choose 1 fighter from Deadly Alliance it would be Frost.

6. From Deception there too wasn't that many favorite fighters that I could say I'd choose from to include in MK11. To choose one it would have to be Ashrah.

7. From Armageddon the whole roster is wide open then as well as a few new faces and of those new ones is where I'd choose Sareena. She hasn't been playable in many MK games at all and she has potential to be decent.

8. From the reboot MK9 again the original 3 games come back into play with a few guest characters to choose. I'd choose Skarlet here. I'd like to learn more about her backstory.

9. MKX would be Tri-Borg. When I first heard his name I thought it was lousy and he'd be a lousy copycat of Sektor but was wrong and he wound up being my favorite.
