I do hope Baraka is in the new game. I grew to like him in MK9 because of his cool style of fighting and moves. In contrary to what some people may think that Baraka is not that good or popular of a candidate for variations is completely false. Just as Mileena, which is less dynamic, variation wise, than many other potential characters, Baraka can really shine in this new game. He has the ability to have an in-your-face-short-blades rushdown variation, a zoning projectile variation and a classic balanced variation. They need to put Baraka in this new game because he is one of the visually unique characters to the Mortal Kombat world, just like Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Noob Saibot, Sonya Blade, and Kitana are. The major concern I have, as I was one of the first here at test your might to bring it up-the subject of balancing (3x30+ = 90+ characters) for NRS to balance when they have such difficulty balancing 30 characters in a basic numbered roster game. JOHN EDWARDS came out clean now and said it himself that NRS is experiencing much difficulty balancing the 90 plus characters. So aside from MKX having great visuals, new and interesting gameplay and options, I'm afraid due to its venturing into new waters with this unprecedented variations thing, MKX will be NRS greatest failure to date.
If you go back and read some of the posts, there are people who are 100% convinced that hes in the game now. Because of this one achievement picture. The achievement picture is promising to say the least, but means nothing overall.
