The only character I really want to see is Stryker. Not many people like him so im crossing my fingers hoping he is in it.

Sorry about the double post

Here's my best guess on the character roster:

Johnny Cage
Kitana
Noob
Kano
Baraka
Scorpion
Cyrax
Sub-Zero
Sonya
Smoke
Raiden
Reptile
Rain
Jax
Shang Tsung
Mileena
Sektor
Night Wolf
Liu Kang
Sindel
Jade
Ermac
Kung Lao
Stryker
Kabal


From this list, I wouldn't mind seeing Sindel, Jade, Jax and Sonya dropped. I would like to see those four replaced with Kenshi, Fujin, Shinnok and Reiko.

Any characters introduced after MK3 besids those four should stay away from MK9, and new characters shouldn't make it into the roster either.

Anyone think that Mileena's alt costume is going to be even sluttier like in MK:D? (if she can do it without making the game AO)

My entire lists of hopeful returners not confirmed yet:

Jade
Sonya
Sareena
Tanya
Smoke (Cyborg)
Kenshi
Ermac
Quan Chi
Shang Tsung (playable)
Kano
Kabal
Noob
Reiko
Shinnok
Kitana (if she can change some)
Sindel

This is how I imagine the roster.

Scorpion
Sub-Zero
Sektor
Reptile
Mileena
Nightwolf
Johnny Cage
Kung Lao

Raiden
Kitana
Sonya
Jax
Sindel
Ermac
Cyrax
Baraka
Kabal
Jade
Kano
Shang Tsung
Liu Kang
Rain
Stryker
Noob Saibot
Sheeva
Smoke

With
Quan Chi, Shinnok, Tanya & Reiko as DLC

I'd really like to see Rain.

1. Johnny Cage
2. Kano
3. Raiden
4. Liu Kang
5. Scorpion
6. Sub-Zero
7. Sonya
8. Kung Lao
9. Reptile
10. Shang Tsung
11. Kitana
12. Jax
13. Mileena
14. Baraka
15. Sindel
16. Stryker
17. Smoke
18. Cyrax
19. Sektor
20. Nightwolf
21. Sheeva
22. Kabal
23. Jade
24. Ermac
25. Rain
26. Noob

Boss: Shao Kahn
Sub-Boss: Goro
Sub-Boss: Kintaro
Sub-Boss: Motaro

That's all of them.

You really think they'll bring back Motaro? I have mixed feelings about that. If they do he HAS to be a centaur again. If they figure out how to make his odd shape and size work he could be awesome and menacing like he was in MK3. But if there are so many way he could suck if he doesn't fit in seamlessly.

I've got a feeling Jarek's gonna make it

I Would Like Every Character From MK Trilogy + a few regarding the timeline. Minus the bosses (at least as playable). Just Kahn

Playable:

Johny Cage
Noob Saibot
Baraka
Cyrax
Sonya
Raiden
Rain
Shang Tsung
Kitana
Kano
Scorpion
Subzero (both brothers)
Reptile
Jax
Mileena
Sektor
Liu Kang
Jade
Sheeva
Kung Lao
Smoke (cyborg)
Nightwolf
Sindel
Ermac
Stryker
Kabal
Shao Kahn

Timeline Accepting Characters:

Shujinko
Kenshi
Quan Chi

Non-Playable, just in Story, Arcade and Challange Tower:

Kintaro
Goro
Motaro

on a final note, I strongly feel Stryker and Sheeva should NOT be excluded, Especially Stryker. Its just not fair to the fans. Plus Boon's reaction to the article pretty much suggests that he wants Stryker in anyways so We should see him
