Some of these rumors smells like bullshit tho, specially the "much loved" variation system and NRS killing iconic characters for good.Rumors are rumors. I'll wait for some verified and official information.
Quan has been done dirty by NRS. Treated like a doddering old fool in MKX. Such a shame.Can we all just have a moment of silence for Quan Chi? I know most of you wont miss him, but i will ;-;
yeah man, they made him into such a bitch in the story mode. Scorpion beheading him at the end was literally putting him out of his misery.Quan has been done dirty by NRS. Treated like a doddering old fool in MKX. Such a shame.

He deserved every moment of it though.yeah man, they made him into such a bitch in the story mode. Scorpion beheading him at the end was literally putting him out of his misery.
Cyrax has been accounted for in the MKX comics. He and Kuai Lung defeated Sektor and Cyrax became the leader of cyber-lin kuei, then Kuai lung left and Cyrax initiated a self destruct sequence and destroyed himself with all of cyborgs.I buy it. The new leaked list.
There's a LOT of intriguing bits to it...(giant lore theory(s) ahead)
"Onaga, Blaze, Taven, Daegon, Kano, Li Mei, Noob Saibot, Nitara, Bo Rai Cho, Johnny Cage, Shang Tsung, Jade, Cassie Cage, Jacqui Briggs, Frost, Kenshi, Kotal Kahn, Jax."
So, going forward with the presumption that 11 will be to MKD and MKA what XL was to 4 and MKDA...yeah, Raiden would HAVE to be the big bad this time.
Take into account the three MAJOR stories converging at the same time in the MK9 opening on top of the Pyramid: Shujinko's quest to stop Onaga, Taven and Daegon's path to Blaze, and everything else going on that brought about the need for the Pyramid of Argus to rise in the first place. Think of them like the three roads that lead to the Pyramid.
What Raiden did by sending the message back to himself, AT FIRST, only directly affects one of those roads. Nothing that happened during Shujinko's journey or while Taven was stuck in that bigass rock that I can think of would have changed that drastically because of it.
However...by avoiding the "He Must Win" outcome where Shao Kahn is ultimately the one who defeats Blaze, you've now created a vacuum in that space where armageddon was supposed to go, which was presumably the entire endgame of the Pyramid and Blaze to begin with. Someone has to beat Blaze, otherwise existence itself could collapse. And Raiden, now having gone Dark and likely believing he alone could bear such a burden, will turn himself into something worse than Shao Kahn in order to win and keep anyone else from claiming that power, thereby coming full circle and becoming the very monster he started this entire chain of events to destroy...which almost guarantees Liu Kang will return and be the last chapter of Story mode.
What makes me REALLY happy are the presence of Nitara and Jade.
Because if that's legit, it means:
1. Cyrax -THE REAL CYRAX - might not be far behind.
Smoke became Enenra (and I think is going to team up with Noob again, but that's just me), Sektor (presumably) became Triborg and as a result there's no Tekunin uprising, but Cyrax himself was as far as I know never accounted for, which to me means that if Nitara's coming back, it's to revive Onaga, a task for which she's going to need a cyborg to get the egg out of the volcano.
2. Ashrah is either the woman from MK9 Jade/MKX Kitana's endings or she's been empowered by her, and Jade got a soul cleanse, which is going to really complicate the new first family of Hell when Kitana finds out she's of relevance again.
So many possibilities.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHCyrax has been accounted for in the MKX comics. He and Kuai Lung defeated Sektor and Cyrax became the leader of cyber-lin kuei, then Kuai lung left and Cyrax initiated a self destruct sequence and destroyed himself with all of cyborgs.
If they bring Shang Tsung in, they better bring in the old man Shang Tsung (MK1).As long as Johnny is in and Mileena STAYS dead, I'll be happy. I'd love Shang Tsung to be in though.
bro I hope this and also hope they do away with all of these children characters. Am I the only one that just wants to keep expanding the roster while keeping the old classics and not their babies? I have many gripes with sfv but at least it doesnt have ryu's son bison's momma chunli's daughter and dhalsim's dog.I'm hoping Takeda makes a return. That character is way too badass to pass up.
as a testament to this...I have bought every mk game since mk one. And up I completely forgot of these character's existance. Upon seeing this I remembered onaga and blaze only and just because it stuck with me how lame they were after having such iconic bosses like shang tsung goro and shao kahn.Onaga Blaze Daegon Taven
If those 4 names don't get you excited then idk what will.
....quite possibly the most boring characters ever in a MK game. While we're at it let's include Kai and Jarek
