No, looking into it too much is taking their phrasing literally. You are saying that because of the (S) it is written in stone that there are 2 guests and 2 classics since its plural on both. I understand the grammar implication, but I am saying dont take it literally and it could be either way. Could be 1 guest, could be 2. So by saying it HAS to be that certain way, that is the stretch. Also your carrot and apple correction is fine but my example also is correct. "Carrot(S) and apple(S)" simply implies that a mix of both is included, not that there has to be multiples of both. NRS isnt worried about being taken to court over the use of an (S) when there is only 1 guest if that were the case.

I know this is a dumb argument, but hey we have nothing else to talk about really. Im happy to agree to disagree.
I'm just reading it as it's written, not really looking into it that hard. I never said it was written in stone, it could well be one guest, it's just that you can see why I think two and two. Of course NRS aren't worried, they're still making moneyyyyyyyyyyy $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

I know man, I know... the amount of useless arguments to be had is increasing at a horribly exponential rate now :( not our fault we don't have much news right now :|
Are you saying Johnny was in a playable build at GDC?
Yes, as was Kenshi. First chapter of story mode.

Thats why they call this thing bloodsport, kid.
Yes, as was Kenshi. First chapter of story mode.
Im just curious if they had the whole roster playable as well. Seems like they would but really I have no idea. surprised theres not more leaks if thats the case.

I doubt it. Netherrealm wasn't even an exhibitor. Adam Urbano was just there doing interviews and described some of story mode.
He did say Johnny was playable in the first chapter of story mode at the event. I believe he just mentioned that we'd see Kenshi though, not that he was playable.

I have my favorite too.
And yet am I happy with the roster ?
Nope, because even though it could be worth, I try to remain impartial, and I look at the balance between the characters, in term of design, factions / sides belonging, family members, and this is obviously a pretty meh roster.
The gameplay of those characters can still be pretty good, but I totally understand the angry fans, especially those whose fav did not make it.
Many of our favorites didn't make it I know mine didn't. first thing I did was pick out a main(Kano) even back when Smoke looked like he had a good chance. so no Smoke, Stryker, possibly no Rain, and yet I'm still happy with the roster. Im looking at what's there rather than what isn't and beleive I'm a lot happier for it.

we knew this was a chance the second MKX was announced.

No he didn't, that's a bad assumption. Look up the tweet, he doesn't say exactly 5. He says there are 5 but that doesn't mean there couldn't be more...

A much worse assumption is one where when a specific number is stated, that there would be more than that number.

But ya'know, I tend to like to actually think about things before I come up with an idea. Strange way to do it, I'm sure, but it's just the only thing I know sadly...

Oh well.... RIP Sektor.

He said Johnny is playable in chapter 1, and they're also showing off Jacqui, Kenshi and takeda and he's not sure who else because he's always mixing up whose announced an unannounced.

he also said johnny's x ray or brutality (cant remember) is really nasty cuz he breaks the nuts to the opponent. i presume he will be (unfortunately) in the roster not just story mode

Yeah he "said" but I'm saying nobody there was able to play it.

Yeah it would be "unfortunate" if one of the most famous/iconic MK characters, who is also a classic from mk1, made the roster.
cmon! he's in the game since 1995! hes BOring! we need new faces! kool ones not shit like kobra! cmon NRS call tobias back

Did you miss the video of Adam Urbano saying they were showing off the first chapter of story mode where you can play as Johnny and you'll see Kenshi? It was in an interview with GameCrate at GDC but got taken down, I think there is a snippet of it somewhere though... Edit: jump to 33 seconds in, the guy plays the entire interview for you to hear. He says you see Kenshi, but says Johnny is playable. He even says his favourite brutality is Johnnys lol.

How is that much worse? You're saying there are only 5 when he didn't say there were only 5. Your suggestion is actually a lack of thought because everyone just assumed there's only 5, whereas I thought about it and came to the conclusion there could be more than 5, not that there will definitely will be but there is a chance. I'm not just coming to the same assumed conclusion.

I hear what you are saying but they want to make money. Scorpion is the most popular character, imagine leaving him out...Cage is like that but a lesser extent.

That method forces an idea not stated. Why say 5 as a specific number if not to indicate 5? Why not "At least 5"? Or "About 5"?

There would be absolutely no reason to force the idea that there was more than 5 playable characters shown if not for there being 6 "leaked" as playable on release.

And there seems to be a lot of people that are following your train of through by saying the list is accurate at 6 characters form the trailer when there is more evidence to show it's not as opposed to it being accurate.

Again, if there was 6, why say 5 and not 6? It makes absolutely no sense. And while Boon as been known to troll, when announcing information, he's not one to give out false information. "5 reveals" is 5. Not 6, and not 4.


This is why I say that it is a lack of thought. Because inventing a theory out of nothing is still a lack of actual thought to what was said.

Ok, I guess they did show story mode, but he still only confirmed Johhny is playable in story mode (maybe only via QTE) but as far as TYM is concerned, if he's not in VS mode, he's not playable. Same with Kenshi.

I don't... Like, what are you suggesting, that brought a build with kenshi in it but all you can do is watch him or play against him in vs? What would be the point of that
Why hasn't anyone tweeted about playing as Johnny or Kenshi? Or seeing their variations?
