If this is real...and she is playable, I would be the happiest girl in the world. If this a scene from story mode and she is only a cameo, I'm okay with that too.

As long as shinnok is playable I'm fine with this. Erron? Takeda are more then enough to keep me satisfied. Kung jin looks promising but I'll have to gather the hype for him through use. If he suits my play style I will definitely welcome him.

Still not a fan of Kotal. I don't see his appeal at all. Not my style.
In all seriousness I don't think she's playable, I just think they're going to be teasing characters who will show up playable in the next game - characters from MK3, 4, and DA/Deception.

They'll probably play it safe with the roster this time because they're working with new technology and a new three variation system, then in the next game in a few years when they've got some money they'll maybe feel up to doing some experimental stuff with guys like Havik, or Bo Rai cho, and maybe Fujin/Reiko if they're not in here and some returning guys like Cyrax, Nightwolf, Jade, Smoke, etc.

Johnny kind of looks like a mix between Robert Downey JR and Josh Brolin.

Loving the design for Jax. I think I'm for some reason one of the few who likes him (possibly because I don't think story takes priority over a fighting game)

And if that Sergeant Tamora Jean Calhoun design for Sonya Makes it into the game I will be very happy. No more silly fan service costumes.

Something is falling flat about this roster to me. I can't even put my finger on what. I mean I'll still buy the game, probably still enjoy the hell out of it... the roster is just... leaving me shrugging.

I mean it's got Mileena, my favorite character AND Kitana. It's got Reptile. It's got Scorpion & Sub. Plenty of Ninjas. Lots of classic characters like Cage, Raiden, Sonya and Liu. Classic Villains like Shinnok and Quan. And even a lot the new characters look kind of awesome to me this time around. I think Kung Jin, Jacqui and Takeda are the ones I care the least about, but I understand their role at least, as the "next generation" ...

I mean it's THEORETICALLY got all the makings of a good roster. Almost everything I could want. There isn't much left out, only a couple headliners missing. But something just isn't clicking with me. There's no spark.

MK9 had a spark. Maybe it was the surprise of getting characters like Sheeva and Stryker back, because we never thought that would happen. Maybe the excitement of an almost complete Trilogy roster including longshots, not just headliners.

This roster just feels completely safe. All the returning characters are in no way surprising or unpredictable. Even the MK4 and MKDA choices (what few there are) are exactly the ones you'd think they'd choose.

They didn't take any risks with returning characters. There's no fun. There's no spark.

I hope one is coming in the DLC, but it will probably just be like... Shang Tsung, Noob or Baraka. And I LIKE all those guys but...

What I wouldn't give to see Frost or Reiko or Nitara or Blaze or Sheeva or even Khameleon, just SOMEONE none of us would have thought would have made it.

Frankly I hope Tremor IS going to be DLC. At least he'd be a surprise.


I'm with you. If that list is real then, I mean I have no problem with the roster. I like the characters. But there is not flair to it. No Cyborgs Lin Kuei or reinvented 3D era characters. It's a very safe and sort of bland roster. Again I like the characters but it all just feels a little too grounded for MK. (yeah I said that hah)

Man JC and Jax look great. Really happy about their inclusion. Kenshi as well! Couldn't be more satisfied, I'm 100% happy with the roster.

And Rain's possible inclusion with a possibility of Tremor as DLC's make it even better. What a great day.

Here's some more of his quotes, before you get too excited:

On Rain:
"I knew he would be in MKX, he most likely will be playable."

"most likely will be, if not from the get go then as DLC."

On Sektor and Cyrax:

"Possibly and Possibly"

On Smoke and Reiko:

"It's worth keeping an eye out, but not saying there is a chance :)"

On Liu Kang:

"Liu Kang, not too sure about him, maybe."

On Li Mei:

"Yeah that' definitely her, but not sure on that. Never say never dude"

Some more "answers"...

On Tanya and Fujin:

"to tell you the truth, I don't know about Tanya and or Fujin, I wish though"

On Tremor:

"He'll most likely be in the game"

On Fujin:

"Probable"

To follow up on the skepticism...

The Fantim guy asked if everyone was ready for more leaks, after 2 hours of nothing. He ends up "leaking" the kombat kode "020 020 Blocks Disabled", reposts the Jax chest pic, and then says he's going to bed. Ladies and gentlemen...stalling/milking at its best. lol

Then, MKUniverse chimes in again, "answering" roster questions.

On the final roster number:

"I think its 24, but that could change. We'll have to wait and see"

On Rain, again:

"You'll be the first to know. I will also be posting news, etc on my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC..."

"Rain is making a comeback and has cool costumes and variations"

"And if he doesn't make it, then I should apologise haha. But I doubt that's the case. I love Rain too" (notice how he says he's in, claims to know what his costumes and variations are, then shows doubt in his own knowledge, but it's ok guys, he'll give you a sorry if he is wrong...)

On Rain possibly being DLC:

"Ed Boon is also Ed Boon, you know, the one who loves to troll people and shit LOL"

"And I also mentioned a week ago that Rain was going to appear in MKX and bam he showed up in the story. So just keep an eye out." (how reassuring, he predicted Rain's inclusion after he showed up in the comics...)

On Liu Kang, again:

"Apparently if you watch the story trailer and listen towards the end of the video you'll hear Liu Kang's voice. Not sure yet."

On Baraka:

"I'm not sure though, maybe as DLC bcoz list is almost full" (another he doesn't know)

Meanwhile he keeps telling you to subscribe to his youtube for more later. Like I said, he knows what is in the couple of pictures he got a hold of, and nothing else. He speculates based on what we all see, and passes it off as fact, but then even shows doubt in it himself. That's as sketchy as it gets. So believe at your own risk.

Just figured those might help put into perspective just how much this guy really knows.


Thanks for this. Its reassuring to know this guy probably doesnt know jack shit

I'm extremely disappointed with NRS. And it's not even because the leak is Sonya or Jax (okay, maybe just a smidge, because imo, those two have always been a bore factory. Although I'm happy for fans of said characters) but it's mainly because they flat out knew that post Trilogy characters were the most requested/expected.

Yet, they kept ALL of those characters for DLC just to put more of a squeeze on consumers for the extra buck. WB is partially to blame, but you know full well NRS had a hand in that decision.

Anyone still living under the delusion that they actually care about the fans?

Puhleeeez.

>partially

u fukn wot m8?

The blame rests entirely on WB. You need no further evidence than the Arkham games. It's a fucking DLC milk farm. And with the DLC characters for MK9 and Injustice breaking bank, you can bet your fucking ass there was some executive meddling.


As bullshit as it is, though, consider that the series and the team are in much better hands now than they were back in the Midway days.

Instead of being forced to squeeze out something MK-related every single year and cutting corners on EVERYTHING, NRS now has the luxury of having all the time in the world to polish up their game, and the AAA budget that goes along with it certainly doesn't hurt either. I mean, for fuck's sake, we went from having Bob from Accounting doing voices for your characters to the toppest tier, cream-of-the-crop veteran VAs like Steven Jay motherfucking Blum starring in MK. Could you ever imagine something like that, even in your wildest dreams? Seriously, am I even awake? Is this real life?


So yeah. Them's the breaks, I guess. :/

Playable roster addition > "fun cameo", just sayin.
I'll like some fun cameos if it's the dead characters from MK9 getting resurrected, because they can stop pretending like that means they're not gonna come back in a later game.

I used to have no problem with that Sindel scene but why kill off six people for attempted shock value because you forgot to actually make the new timeline different until the end of MK3? Just have the other characters doing something else if they're not playable in the new game and use whatever that is to further their stories.

Mixed feelings on frost. Not sure if they could do enough to differentiate her and sub-zero with the variation system. Her design also looks identical to how we know and remember her from mkda.

At the same time, if NRS is leaving 3d characters to story cameos only, they'd be making a big mistake. Some of the 3d characters are highly requested, and it seems like they are blatantly ignoring that.

true, but also until we have seen the playable roster screen we cant be 100% certain we will have JC sonya and Jax playable. its highly likely granted, but unless johnny has new moves his moveset will be too similar to Cassies and in a way steal her time to shine.

also i want to feel that the team are saving the most requested character reveals until last.

Ever think that maybe they didn't include those characters because, outside of a handful of hardcore fans on message boards, no one actually cares for those characters? The 3d games had mediocre reception at best, and Nrs has been open about shifting focus onto the classic and beloved characters. The characters that will sell the game!

Of course they're out to make money, video games are a cutrthroat business, if you don't thrive and put out impressive numbers every time, you can guarantee yourself a drop in budget or culling of employees.

You can call NRS and WB out on their bs. You SHOULD call them out on it. But to assume they're screwing over fans by holding over some mildly unpopular characters? That is absurd. Just look at the insane amount of content in the game. Story mode, factions, revamped towers, character variations, brutalities, etc. now compare that to how EA or Activision treat their customers.

That is the problem with mko in a nutshell. People overreacting and exaggerating little problems before actually having a clue about what's going on.
