Rumor/Possible Spoilers: Mortal Kombat X Speculation General Discussion

[eNARV]

Lol at anybody being shocked or outraged about Sonya and Johnny being in the game as playable. They didn't survive MK9 just for the lulz. I'm really excited to see how they change over time as characters and their relationship with Cassie. If this game truly is passing the torch to the next generation, their inclusions make even more sense because it's a send off.

Also, if the roster leak is to be correct, the roster has an MK1/MK2 roster flavor. Everyone from MK1 that was playable returning (Liu Kang, Sonya, Johnny, Scorpion, Kano, Raiden, and Sub- zero plus Goro) and most of the MK2 roster returning (Jax, Mileena, Kitana, Reptile, Kung Lao plus aforementioned MK1 characters that also appeared in MK2).

MK3 is pretty much unrepresented unless you count UMK3/Ermac when he became playable. If anything, this roster is awesome because it is the blending of the classic rosters of the premier games and characters plus the innovation of the next generation with Kotal, D'Vorah, Erron Black, Cassie, Ferra/Torr, Jacqui, Kung Jin, Takeda. Then there's Quan Chi and Shinnok of MK4.

I think it's very fitting if it is legit. Plus there's the possibility of DLC to add Shang Tsung, Baraka to complete that list of MK1/MK2 characters.

Thank youuuu!

Jax's Mickael Jackson variation



Maybe Kotal, Erron, D'Vorah, Torr, Reptile, Ermac are seen like Black dragon since they got alliance with them. As well as Mileena, Rain, Goro, Reiko would be Brotherhood of shadow.

I see things like that. x)

Stop Saja!

 

[Skylight1]

Maybe a later DLC? He already fits the status of broken DLC character


Out of topic, The generic Lin Kuei costume from the trailer rocks so hard! I wish it's one of Subs alternatives

That "generic Lin Keui costume" just so happens to be the costume Sub-Zero had back in MK3, 1995. Not generic, more like retro.

You big babies. Jesus H. Christ.

You know...I've been trying to regulate some sanity in these MKX threads for awhile now. And yet, all anyone ever seems to want to do IS OVERREACT LIKE THIS AND MAKE WILD, UNFOUNDED CLAIMS BASED ON WILD SPECULATIONS! OMFG D00DZ, SONYA IS IN TEH GAME I HAET IT!!

That was me being facetious, by the way. Look it up, words are good for you.

Anyway, say Sonya, Jax, and Cage are in the game...
Do you really think they'll play anything like Cassie or Jacqui? No, they probably won't. I mean, Batman and Nightwing didn't play anything alike, and neither one played anything like Batgirl. So I'm very certain you will have your variety.

If this is the final roster, it's fine. Everything you would want from an MK game is represented.

Want to play someone from Lotus Society? Kung Lao and Kung Jin
Special forces? Sonya, Cassie, Jacqui, Takeda, and Cage.
Ninjas? Scorpion/Sub, Reptile, and Ermac
Perhaps something a bit different, more off the wall? Well, you'll have Kotal Kahn, D'Vorah, Ferra/Torr, Erron Black(maybe) and Goro to choose from.
Females? Mileena, Kitana, Cassie, Jacqui, Sonya, and Ferra/Tor. (Her name comes first, she's the boss. She's a female character, hold that.)
This is all before any of the DLC characters are revealed, where you get two guest characters who will probably play like no one else in the game, and two returning characters, who could very well be the ninja/cyborg/Havik(why on earth would anyone want that?)/Bo Rai Cho(see Havik)/Shang or anyone else you may want.

Wait. And. See. Be patient. Be calm. Control yourself.

I love you.

ehm, I mean the costume the other LK ninjas wear. Not Sub-zero

 

[False Witness]

I agree. This Lin Kuei mook looks really well designed:

 

[Levaranoia]

Shazam and Black Adam says hi.

lol what?

 

[Levaranoia]

Yes that's how torch passing games go. Would you rather them good the SCV route? Look how that turned out. Talking about redundancy yet people want every pallete swapped ninja. Just because they are related doesn't mean they play the same.

Palette swapped ninjas? This ain't street fighter where every shoto is just slightly different but pretty much the same. All of the "ninjas" are pretty unique and have their own type of powers.

 

[Shaazzyam]

I agree. This Lin Kuei mook looks really well designed:

Why does that Lin Kuei Goon #1 on the left look better designed than any of Sub-Zero's costumes ever?

also, someone ban tth he's being a bully

 

[KingShaz]

I highly doubt Sonya, Johnny Cage, Jax...and part of me feels like Kenshi wont make it either.

 

[STORMS]

I'll be confirmed pissed if this is true.

Well, they can make up for it.... by making the Kombat Pack all MK4 characters.

Fuck Johnny Cage... give me Reiko, Fujin, Tremor... so many better characters.

 

[Spinky]

...Why do people like Tremor?

They can do so much with Fujin in terms of the variations. WHERE'S NOOB SAIBOT?!

 

[SaJa]

...Why do people like Tremor?

Last ninja not played yet controlling earth ? Fuck yeah !

 

[TopTierHarley]

Shazzy pls

That was my point. You can't call the families redundant because they are the "same" but play different, then say you want every ninja in the game

 

[Osmedirez]

Nope they aren't challenge towers, they are regular arcade ladders.

Oops, my bad. I was under the impression the living towers were the challenge mode. I missed the part of the next video where they showed 'klassic towers'. I take back my speculation.

 

[Shaazzyam]

Shazzy pls

tth, imagine they re-mastered James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing for the Xbone. We wouldn't have to play this srcubby-no-footsies-inustice ripoff with this garbage roster and instead be super spies for her majesty. it would be totes amazeballs huh?

 

[Voodoo]

That was my point. You can't call the families redundant because they are the "same" but play different, then say you want every ninja in the game

But most of the "ninjas" are completely unique. Humans are just boring.

 

[TopTierHarley]

And ninjas are a played out trope

I'd be all over that.

 

[Wemfs]

Exactly. He's the only ninja left who hasn't been playable in any MK game... and he's an earthbender. That's fucking sick.

 

[Wemfs]

I'd take any "palette swap" ninja over any human character. I think they are leaps and bounds more interesting.

Shhhh I actually like ninjas, but at this point I'm just arguing for the sake of arguing lol.
Also btw, there is a reason why a regular human is always the protagonist.

 

[ProTremor]

Imma just add more fuel to the fire...But techicalllllllyyyy...Boon said 5 reveals=5 playable, agreed?? Well we did see J.C and that was prolly Sonya Blade laying there passed out.. So 3 kids+Black+Mileena or Lei Mei or Shinnok (not to sure)....And everyone from that trailer are NPC including JC and Sonya..............Cause i remeber a NRS tweet saying alot of npcs..Bam Confirm Tremor..yup
