'ello baby, did you miss me?
Not that we needed official confirmation, but Sub-Zero's lore blurb all but promises that he'll be dealing with his brother this game.

Grandmaster of the Lin Kuei clan. Kuai Liang beat death to redeem his clan for the evil committed by Sektor and the Cyber Lin Kuei. He rebuilt the Lin Kuei and brokered peace with their Shirai Ryu rivals. Now, he hopes to finally close the book on sins of Lin Kuei past.

I'm tempering my expectations. I don't believe that this means the "3 secret characters" leak is true. Not until we see them in action.

I'm kind of confused on how these characters are placed, they are kind of all over the place, not really organized by any rhyme or reason. Why is Skarlet next to Sonya? Erron between the revenants, Raiden next to Baraka and Shao.
It's like one big hot, orgy mess. Everybody's doing it with everyone! It's all Havik's doing! I'll tell ya!

I don't wanna be pessimistic but I think the base roster is 23 excluding the secret / unlockable characters and Shao Kahn (or 24 since the bottom slot at the MK11 select screen could be for Shao Kahn).

The other five slots at the bottom are fading to black, which means there will obv be DLC, most likely more than one Kombat Pack.

It can be seen far more clear here when a character is selected on the page:

Why would they add DLC characters to this page, when they haven't said a word about KP1 in any of the Kombat Kasts or on their twitter? Without clarifying which ones are DLC and which ones aren't?

It would take some actual troglodytes to think that doing this is a good idea and won't backfire in any way in PR. If you're right, then someone, or several someones, deserve to get fucking fired.

I would say that the Shang, Mileena, Shinnok leak is true or the locked spots are the first three DLC. Prepare to be disappointed, Rain fans.

Why would they add DLC characters to this page, when they haven't even begun to talk about KP1? And not even clarify which ones are DLC and which ones aren't?

The only thing that worries me is that Shao Kahn is on this roster with that annoying DLC sticker, so my nightmare of the 5 + Shao Kahn DLC characters being counted on this roster could become true.

Let's pray it is not though!

It's listed alphabetically according to the 3rd letter from the end

TYM's #1 L taker.
Also, the slot placement is weird. Number of slots in each row:
  • 6
  • 7
  • 6
  • 5
  • 5
Yeah that is weird as well, my guess is that this just a fake out so we won't know who will be a part of what faction before the games release, and they'll organize on the games release.

Yeah those aren't DLC, didn't they say there was gonna be 6 characters in KP1?

MK select screens are always randomly organized, why would you expect this page to be different?

Shao Kahn turns everything into a fragile unstable mess! I hate him for this! :-p

Maybe there are only 23 characters, and the first DLC pack =

One guest
Shao Kahn
Noob Saibot
Shang Tsung
Jax
Mileena

That would be SO anti-hype...

I'm a bad bitch, you can't kill me
Skarlet's bio: 'She is his deadliest, most faithful creation.' UM MILEENA SAYS HELLO.

Anyway, this is super hype and is getting me excited for Mileena, Shang, and Rain being in.

I also love how they all have 'traits' I guess. Or a word that describes their personality. I really like that depth.

Jade - Loyalty
Erron Black - Thrills
Kabal - Avarice
Sub-Zero - Redemption
Scorpion - Vengeance
Baraka - Preservation
Raiden - Security
Shao Kahn - Dominance
D'Vorah - Survival
Geras - Service
Kano - Greed
Cassie Cage - Approval
Skarlet - Acceptance
Sonya Blade - Vigilance
Johnny Cage - Vanity
Jacqui Briggs - Protection

What will Mileena's be....I wonder....

Also, when Injustice 2's website was up and they had the roster section they expanded on it. So, it makes more sense for what we see to be base roster (including Shao Kahn) and then when the Kombat Pack is revealed and each character gets released, they'll add to that.

REJOICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rain = Pride
Mileena = Shame
Kung Lao = Envy
Shang Tsung = Deception
Jax = Boring
Kitana = Dunno
Kotal Kahn = Gluttony
Kollector = Lust (for collection lol)
Cetrion = Growth (plants whatever)
Noob Saibot = Anger

That leaves Liu Kang = Fall from Grace, whatever that is called in a beautiful one-word

The hype is real.
