I'm just glad that they're actually there; more would be nice, but I'll be happy with one, considering that they've never had intros before.

From TRMK:

"Each character has some pretty amazing intro and victory animations. Sub-Zero materializes from ice. Reptile drops in and turns off his cloaking. Sektor shoots flames into the air in a V formation. A flaming hole opens in the ground and Scorpion leaps out of it."

Intros confirmed.

"When Scorpion won a fight he seriously burned a hole in the ground and dropped back in, then it cut to him landing in the Underworld and doing his victory pose with fire around him. Seriously."

Oh. My. God.

That is awesome.

I was on MK Wiki and I saw a screenshot of Shao Kahn in game-play you can probably put him down as a boss or a playable character, he's probably more likely to be just a boss though.
