As for me, I want to see some new characters, the only old character that I would like to see is Cyber Smoke, since he got captured in MK9 if I recall well, the Bow guy looks like he will be a new one, the guy that looks like Liu Kang might be someone new, or a re-skin, Jax seems legit, also a Mileena pic was somewhere, so lets just hope no crappy, stryker, cybersub, baraka and NW, they have crappy story lines, and would only be missed by very few.

Where's the bow guy? :confused:
The guy with the bow is most likely Salazar or Fujin. In the leaked casting call for the MKX live-action digital series, it mentions Salazar as having awesome weaponry skills. It could also be Fujin since he did use a bow in MK4, and they may have re-designed him. But it seems like it is Salazar (and I hope it is), the character just has that look of precision and accuracy with a weapon, very fitting to Salazar if the leaked casting call is correct.

im glad you said that actually, i think alotof people upset about sonya and cassie are forgetting that stryker most likelywont be in this game and him and sonya were both in mk9 and can be seen as similar on paper. so why flip out about cassie and sonya?

To be honest the first time I saw him I thought he was Fujin, but then after some examination (he looks more like a man from Kotal army) I discarded that option. I don't know who is that salazar guy except that he will be on a new series, so you could be right. And aside from Rotancho, the rest of your list pretty much nailed it.

Salazar (supposedly) is one of Kotal's mercenaries/army men, so Salazar is looking very likely. Fujin is the only returning character who I think it could be, and it doesn't even look like Fujin that much tbh, the only thing I could see that correlates is the character has a bow.

Is this official or your guess? Because if it's official then most than likely bow guy = Salazar.
It's from the Casting call for the MKX Digital Series, here is Salazar's description, "In his mid 30s to 40s, quiet, reserved, downcast, he is a mercenary in the service of the Emperor. Intelligent and eloquent, he sounds like he may be American. Salazar's exact origins are unknown. Born on Earth, he somehow found himself in Outworld. There he spent years wandering its vast territories, selling his amazing weaponry skills to local warlords. Now, in the employ of the Emperor, Kotal Kahn, Salazar shows no inclination to return to Earthrealm, or aid them in their present struggles."

In my opinion Boon received the memo from his superiors and made a 180 turn, that's why the initial roster included 4 new chars and now... well, it keeps the same 4 new chars. People think NRS don't want to "reveal" the new guys because people expect their favorites, when imo they will not "include" new ones because the same reason.
They were far too deep in development to do a bunch of characters and start over on new ones when he said that.
 
I don't think she is a wasted space, Cassie has her own style and gameplay. Yes, some of her moves may be inspired/borrowed (very few are some of their actual special moves) from her parents, but she is her own character. If anything, she seems more like a hybrid of Stryker and Johnny Cage, she doesn't resemble Sonya much as far as her moves go, IMO. Many people don't seem to realize, NRS did not create the offspring of the characters just to say "bye Felicia" to the older characters. Ed Boon even said himself, they feel there's a great novelty in watching the offspring characters interact with their parents.
No bye

Salazar is probably a tossed name for Erron Black. The description fits him perfectly and it would be weird to have two mysterious shady outworld mercenaries originally from earthrealm working for Kotal Kahn in the game.

The "bow guy" is KungJin. I forget if the bow was Bo Rai Cho's staff or if he learned from him but either way, it is Kung Jin, kung lao's cousin.

Maybe the new rules for this tournament wont let the survivors: Sonya and Cage directly participate, only god knows, maybe they make the cut, maybe they dont.

Cold day in hell...
I believe cyrax will be a dlc character. The kombat pass says classic and guest characters and boon said his bus is running late. I think we'll see him in the game before it has reached its "komplete" or whatever they choose to call it edition.

I doubt it, their most likely different characters. A lot of the characters in MK come from the same background and have the same intentions, look at Kung Lao and Liu Kang. Both White Lotus monks, from Earth, both participating in the MK tournament to defeat Outworld under Raiden's supervision. And in the actual MKX story, if Erron Black is still alive, he may not even be working with Kotal. Also, I can't see the "bow guy" being Erron Black unless his costumes in MKX are drastically different from his comic costume. I haven't read the comics in full, but from what I have read I don't think Erron uses a bow-and-arrow, at least not in the comics. Honestly though, it could be anyone. It could be Fujin heavily re-designed, but after looking at the pic again, I'm highly doubting it since he appears to look like one of the men from the army that is marching in the "NEXT" trailer.

Baff Guy is not Erron Black or Salazar, Erron Black is probably Salazar.

I suppose it is possible, I never really thought about the possibility of them being the same character. Though, someone on an IGN video said Erron Black reminds them of Kobra. I could see that tbh, I have a feeling Erron Black might be a returning character just in disguise. I do have this gut feeling that the Bow guy is Salazar, when I look at the pic from the Living Towers, and than read the Leaked Casting Call description of him, I just picture him. I hope it is, I really like the idea of Salazar, I hope he actually is in the game.
