I'm old enough to be going through déjà vu.

When street fighter 3 was released it contained only two returning characters, ryu and ken. This was a huge shock to many people and fans clamored for thier old favorites to return. Capcom listened and added chun and akuma.

Fast forward to today and people love those new sf3 characters. Fans so desperately wanted Alex back in ultra. People love watching smug kick ass with Dudley . These once stupid new characters are now beloved fan favorites.
i think we can both agree no matter what people will bitch and beg for characters lol

The plot with Sonya and Johnny and Cassie I'm perfectly fine with having in the game, its the fact that Sonya and Johnny might take up playable character slots from for iconic characters all while only having slightly different move sets from Cassie. Imagine if say Reptile and Ermac lose their spots as playable characters because Johnny and Sonya took them when Cassie already has half of their moves. I think that would piss more people off than Reptile and Ermac making it and still having Cassie playable, with Johnny and Sonya in just for story. I mean Cassie already has bith Sonyas and Johnnys signature special moves, which means if Johnny and Sonya would be in they would either have the same moves but slightly different (please no Fox and Falcos clones) or they would change their moves to be different (which goes against the games design of having each character keep iconic moves so whats the point just give us someone different). My gripe with the two is strictly based on the fact that if they are playable that means someone else thats probably more deserving isnt playable.
Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade are .... pretty damn iconic.

Since, ya know, they were both in the very first MK game. lol

BUT, that said...

I would only accept old man Cage cause it would be hilarious. I'd rather not have Johnny and Sonya in if Cassie is a combination of their movesets.

But I wouldn't want the whole roster to be ninjas and cyborgs either lol. Gotta have some variety for the best experience IMO

Seriously, and if you try to please everyone and add every character ever made plus new ones, you run into a tekken tag tournament 2 deal and then people will bitch that there are too many characters.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Ok, I have no idea what the article is saying, but I noticed that they switched Scorpion's Mkvsdc look with Mk9, therefore, I think that some of this information is mistranslated.
 
Holy crap that's a LOT of shit about MK!!! @kabelfritz you're gonna take a long time lol.
im not gonna translate the whole thing, theres much blabla and not much new in it. i can already confirm that everything from the OP is true though, but the text is written kinda weird so that you can hardly tell if the have info or are speculating. i will translate the relevant passages completely so everyone can make up his own opinion.

I know I know, theyre iconic too I just dont see them as iconic as the ninjas and robots. Again my main deal with this is that both Johnny and Sonya are in with Cassie already in and the amount of overlapping similar moves that would come out of those 9 different variations. Also I really want this to be the dark dark dark MK that theyve been hyping it up to be, Johnny and Sonya are not dark compared to the other possible characters, sassy Cassie is all the "comic relief" I need in this game.

The part about Sonya and Cage sounds more like they will have different versions in terms of age in the Game like Sonya 5 years after MK9, 15 years and 25 years. Rather then them being playable and having different versions.
 
Sonya and Johnny will be seen in the game. Playable? Not information to be released by an obscure German magazine. This doesn't sound like MKX's reveals either in content nor voice. The pics are cool, but the info about characters other than Kano gets a PASS from me.
 
MAIN FACTS AND PARTIAL TRANSLATION OF ARTICLE:
(as said, its written kinda weird and easily misunderstandable, its clear they dont really give shit about rock solid info but mix facts and wishful speculation in a manner that it sounds good for people who are not deeply into MK stuff but makes it hard to tell whats fact and whats fiction for people who already gathered every bit of info that is out there. Most of the info in the OP is correct, not sure about everything though)

Characters:

kano is in

"kano will have familiar as well as new stuff, aside from the allrounder there will be a version which focuses on wrestling attacks" it is not known if he will have his eye laser yet. he and raiden were both not playable in their version, but unlike cage/sonya/kang he seems to be officially confirmed to be playable, maybe as exclusive info for this mag.

"Kotal Kahn, who will be revealed to be Shao Kahn's son in the story mode [...]". he seemed sluggish in the beginning but after they warmed up even a bit overpowered.
his home stage is maya oriented (south american jungle)

D'vorah has an acid attack (squishing one of her bugs) which can be charged/delayed (and god help us if cancelled. say hi to kabal.)

boon confirms there will be multiple versions of johnny cage, sonya blade and liu kang in the game, but not in which mode. the whole part goes like this:

"Aging Martial Artists:

As mentioned before, the background strory of MKX will span over multiple decades.
We as players won't only witness, how the offspring of the MK-fighters grow up, but also how the familiar heroes age.
Ed Boon told us in an interview that there will indeed be multiple Versions of Johnny Cage, Sonya Blade and Liu Kang.
Liu Kang? Sure. Let's not lie to ourselves, even though the Shaolin monk hsant been announced yet, the Mortal Komnbat
posterboy will for sure be playable. According to Boon the aged fighters will not just differ look-wise from their younger versions,
but also play a bit different and use moves that none of the other incarnations has. Even though boon doesnt tell how exactly the old fighters
are integrated into the game, we strongy expect them not to be separate characters, but one of the versions in the roster screen.
If the story mode is like in the predecessor, the game gives us a specific character for each chapter - different age
character versions are the smallest of problems here and will for sure be unlocked in the versus-manu after playthrough."


(note by me: the last bit is a lot of speculation and i gotta admit i dont really know much more than before. but the fact that different age versions
also have diferent movesets makes the mentioned chars likely to be playable)

there WILL be (a) guest character(s)


Gameplay:

enhanced moves require strict timing (unlike injustice. i wonder if as tough as mk vs dc)

"it is safe to say there will be stage fatalities. Ed Boon let us know by saying: "We havent announced anything like that yet, but i would be surprised if there were none."."


Misc:

they will try to release the game in germany but only uncut if so (yay)

NRS would like to do something different than fighting games/mk as next project after mkx (not an mk fps though)

tbh im starting to think they are or should be playable. this story takes place over a course of 25 years, this will most likely be the last time these human characters will be used(kano,johnny,sonya,liu) due to them growing old. maybe this game is a send off to these fighters story?
