MK11 Roster - 29 Characters Confirmed

'ello baby, did you miss me?
Regarding the bios, I'm assuming that these were thrown together quite quickly just for fun, and are not meant to be 100% accurate and tell us exactly what to expect in MK11. Because if not, then some of them are really, really weird.

Kabal's order of BD>cop is backwardsed as others have pointed out. And he's characterized by GREED? Hard to see how that matches his MK9 characterization at all, or the snippet we had of him vs. Sub-Zero.

Johnny's bio sounds like it's describing him during chapter 1 of MK9, or more appropriately, past timeline Johnny... not present timeline Johnny after god knows how many selfless, heroic deeds saving the world, and his friends, by the time of MK11.

Skarlet is conclusively more deadly than Ermac? Hmmmmmm.

I dunno. I'm just gonna assume these are for fun and weren't written by any of the head writers.

Have you ever seen the Rain?
They seem old as well, just look at the Geras one.

I think Skarlet is just as powerful as Ermac. I always used to fantasize that Shang Tsung created Ermac for Shao Kahn to show off, and then Quan Chi created Skarlet for Shao Kahn to impress him. But for some reason Shao Kahn created Ermac and Skarlet himself, that is bizarre lol.

Honestly, i think they were going to reveal the roster page with another character reveal, but they fucked up and put out the roster site early.

Guys, it's like 5 weeks before the game release day and they showed 12 characters(gameplay), do you truly believe they have 17 characters to show?

it's 25 at most(and this by counting Shao Kahn)

I think both of those bios are for the past versions. We've got both a young Kano and a young Erron, so I think it very likely we'll be getting a Kabal from his BD days as well--especially when he's got a pre-respirator skin that isn't him as a cop.

I'm a bad bitch, you can't kill me


This roster would be so damn hype. So many iconic people omg and room for dope people to be DLC.

And to the people saying that it's 23 plus 6 DLC characters. It can't be. We're already past 23 characters excluding the unlockables and Shao Kahn. So that doesn't make sense.

if it's 25 including Shao Kahn then what are those other 4 slots? DLC? When we already know there are 6 DLC characters in the KP? Why not just add the other 2 squares?

That's right, cause the KP slots aren't on there yet and that's base.



I definitely think we're looking at a 29 character base roster you guys. So many favs in there.

MK11 having a 29 character base roster isn't even far fetched like....

Injustice 2 had a 29 character base roster (including Darkseid)

With the 6 KP characters, we end up at 35.

Then if they have 4 more DLC for a KP2 we end up at 39. Which is just one character more than Injustice 2's roster after all the DLC had come out.

Doubters getting shut down with the swiftness today.

I want this to be true, but i really do not belive this is the case, maybe it was at some point, but deadlines and time constraints happened.

I want to be wrong(very much so).

I considered that. But Sonya's bio is explicitly post-MK1 (if not present day) and Scorpion's is explicitly present day? Despite both of those characters also having past versions of themselves?

That's a mess and a fucking half.

Yeah, it's inconsistent. Jade's bio also seems to be for her past self rather than her present self.

What makes you so sure?
Well how would that conversation even go?

"Ok we're getting ready to launch a roster bio page, how many slots do you want us to put up there?"

"Like 50."

"Like 50? What do you mean like 50?"

"Just like, a bunch."

"Yeah but you know which characters are going to be in the game, how many are there?"

"Its more than 25 and less than 60."

One with the air.
It all depends on the game brehs and brehettes.

I don't care about the character; rather than, how the character plays.

For instance, in MKX; I did not like Kung Jin's character, but I loved Shaolin (and how it played). So, Shaolin was one of my mains!!

Shinnok I loved for both!!

Jason Voorhees was thugging it up after those buffs!

Somehow
The page is still not up? I swear they do this stuff on purpose, this can’t just be an oopsie.
Actually, it can. NRS and WB screwed up with some announcements before and I won't be surprised if they did it one more time. Someone forgot to set the timer or just activated the page too soon.

What? I don't get it.
Content authors have a clear task of adding a certain number of elements to the page. It’s hard to imagine that there was a task to add 25 elements, but someone accidentally added another element. And then an another one. And an another one. Then for the extra elements he added css so that they have a different color. Then he made the last two elements not clickable, unlike the rest. And only then he realized that something went wrong.
