They are four of the classic characters. Of course they're gonna be in. That's obvious. I'm fucking anxious about the revamped character designs!

Baraka and smoke i know for sure is going to be in, noob and ermac not so much but i think ermac might come back more than noob.

There is room for all characters from MK - MKT excluding the bosses (Kahn, Goro, Kintaro, Motaro) and the C/Khameleons as well as any "duplicate" characters like classic Sub-Zero and Noob Saibot, or human and robot Smoke. I'm pretty sure I counted that right.

Smoke and Baraka = guaranteed.

Noob = in essence, yes, but I'm not sure if we'll see him in demon or original form.

Ermac = chances are pretty high.

I really want noob to be in the game.

Noob is a 50/50 shot. I don't think Sub-Zero Sr. is gonna die this time around.

Junior will get wished well in his future endeavors.

Baraka and Smoke I would say are guaranteed to be in... However I'm not so sure about Noob or Ermac.... I think they will keep the original Subzero alive, but then you have a problem with the younger subzero on how to use him... It could play out like Sub and Frost did in DA, but I would say there might be a chance that one of the Subzeros becomes cybernetic this time around... Ermac is the character that I'm not sure if they will use or not... If I had a list of all the possible characters in MK9, Ermac and Rain would be the bottom two...

what about this idea

have both sub zeros selectable from the get go,but when you beat the game with original sub zero he becomes noob in his ending and next time you go to the select screen he is replaced with noob

and i think the same could work for smoke,begin with human form and when arcade mode is beaten he becomes cyberninja smoke

really hope Baraka's full on SCARY

I hope to see them as well, I know for a fact Baraka has got to be in.
