Mortal Kombat 11's Full Roster

[Hostile_18]

I think the key strategy even after DLC is to leave out one key popular character Rain/Reptile or Ermac and then with the next entry put them front and centre I.e Like Baraka this time round.

After all you don't want a game to feel too complete that your next product would feel similar or even worse. Plus it's a great way to build excitement amongst the fan base day one.

This is the best roster yet. Except Injustrion and Jaqui. I'd have Takeda instead of Jaqui and a simpler and more original design for Injustrion. But it still is one of the best roster an MK game has had.

 

[Cassie Cyrus]

Well Rain is well overdue now, he's been in NO main roster spare for that horrid Armageddon.

So I think they can hype him up already, but I don't think boon wants that.

I feel like D'vorah and Cetrion should be gazing lovingly at each other instead of facing away.

It does look off lol. They should put 2 charaters that are looking forward.

Found this little gem on Twitter, decided to jazz it up a bit, and post it here.

So, this is our final roster it seems.

We have:

View attachment 13504

1. D'Vorah
2. Cetrion
3. Kung Lao
4. Jax Briggs
5. Liu Kang
6. The Kollector
7. Noob Saibot
8. Kotal Kahn
9. Cassie Cage
10. Kano
11. Jacqui Briggs
12. Kitana
13. Frost
14. Johnny Cage
15. Baraka
16. Sonya Blade
17. Jade
18. Erron Black
19. Shao Kahn
20. Geras
21. Scorpion
22. Sub-Zero
23. Kabal
24. Raiden
25. Skarlet

26. Shang Tsung (DLC)

Now some fun and useless stats:

• 36% of the roster is female.
• 28% of the roster is ninja-inspired (ie, we'd count as palatte swaps in MK 1, 2, and 3, including female ninjas).
• 100% of the original, playable MK 1 roster is represented (Liu Kang, Raiden, Johnny Cage, Sonya, Kano, Scorpion, Sub).
• 71% of the new, playable characters from MK 2 are represented (Baraka, Kitana, Jax, Kung Lao, Shang).
• 27% of the new, playable characters from UMK 3 are represented (Kabal, Jade, Noob Saibot).
• 62% of the new, playable characters from MKX are represented (D'vorah, Kotal, Erron, Cassie, Jacqui).
• 3% of the new characters released during the 3D era are represented (Frost).
• 61% of the roster is from the MKT era.
• 48% of the roster is Human (disregarding revenant status).

What do you guys and gals think? Pretty good roster imo

It is my opinion that Shang Tsung and Shao Khan are not part of the base 25 characters which leaves 2 spots open.

If you look at www.mortalkombat.com/roster

You will see there are 29 spots with 8 empty spaces left to be filled. This is because they are only accounting for new and returning fan favs like it says on top of the webpage. They are not including DLC so it's 2KPs with 4 non guest characters per pack.

DLC isn't base roster so we do have at least 2 characters left minus Shao if he fills a slot like Goro did in MKX.
Is that character Mileena, Smoke, Reptile, Triborg, Quan, Bo Rai Cho, Fujin, Rain?
Who knows but at least we know there is one more base and 8 new/returning characters and 4 Guests to come.

 

[Krankk]

Who I'm going to main for sure:

Noob Saibot, Kabal

Who I'm going to play quite a bit:

Raiden, Liu Kang

Who I'm going to at least check out:

Erron Black, Kung Lao

Whom I'll send hate messages:

Jacqui Briggs players

 

[Cassie Cyrus]

Can people people PLEASE stop being so naive around here? There are 24 characters in the main roster, nothing more. Stop putting so much faith in NRS, they never gonna live up to it!
Well the roster is cool, but more than 24 characters, that is a wish we will not see anymore.

 

[C-Sword]

Pretty good roster, but I'm ready for a game that doesn't have Kano, Raiden and Sonya.

 

[Scyther]

Pretty good roster, but I'm ready for a game that doesn't have Kano, Raiden and Sonya.

While I could do without Kano and Sonya for a game (even though I'm somewhat fond of the latter), Raiden I don't forsee going anywhere. He's about as iconic as Scorpion and Sub-Zero, and an MK game without Blunder Thunder just isn't an MK game lol

 

[Juggs]

Who I wanna try out first (list of potential mains):

1. Noob Saibot
2. Scorpion
3. Cetrion
4. Kung Lao
5. Liu Kang
6. The Kollector
7. Cassie Cage
8. Kitana
9. Frost
10. Shao Kahn
11. Geras
12. Raiden

None are really “me” characters other than maybe Scorpion. But hopefully I’ll find a character that really complements my style.

 

[JINNOCIDE]

While I could do without Kano and Sonya for a game (even though I'm somewhat fond of the latter), Raiden I don't forsee going anywhere. He's about as iconic as Scorpion and Sub-Zero, and an MK game without Blunder Thunder just isn't an MK game lol

yeah can u imagine a MK game without Raiden messing things up? the story mode wouldn't have any conflict to be based on

Everyone's just sitting on the beach, sipping margaritas, soaking up the sun.

"This is nice," Kung Lao smiles.
"Yeah, really glad we didn't invite that one dude again." Liu Kang nods in agreement. "Bro needs to see a shrink or someone about those 'visions'."

"I feel kind of bad guys," Sub-Zero sighs a few chairs away, shifting uncomfortably and putting his chilled drink in his chair's little koozie, "I don't think he has any frien-"

"Damn it, Kuai, do you want to be a cyborg again??" Liu Kang growls, jabbing a finger at the Lin Kuei Grandmaster. The latter simply lowers his eyes and shakes his head.

"Didn't think so." Kung Lao smirks, before taking another sip.

XD

 

[Cassie Cyrus]

I could image a story without Scorpion, Sub-Zero and Raiden.

The thing is, they sell the game...

 

[Cassie Cyrus]

I never even minded the poster-boys for Mortal KOmbat, I even like them sometimes, Ryu is another story, the poster boy from Streetfighter is really a big bore for me, so I'm glad mortal kombat doesn't have that effect on me.

 

[ShepherdOfFire]

Pretty good roster, but I'm ready for a game that doesn't have Kano, Raiden and Sonya

A MK without the OG characters ? Hopefully it will never happen.

 

[DragonofDadashov24]

Mains:
Liu Kang/ Kung Lao, Sub-Zero mb Kitana
Playing for fun:
Everyone else
Not touching at all:
Cetrion, Kollector, D’Vorah

Pretty sure they had extra spots that amounted to nothing for Injustice 2, I wouldn't take it too seriously. And "new and returning fan favs" means any character.

But to be completely honest, they straight up said 25 characters. There's no reason not to take them at their word there, they have way too many employees to be underselling their game. And past preorder characters have always fit in the normal roster with the expected number.

 

[Spinky]

Factually superior roster to MKX. Pretty damn good overall. Nice mix of classics, MKX and a bit of new.

Only glaring omission to me is Rain, dude's been done dirty over the years.

 

[Lord Snotty]

This may be the best roster so far. I'm so excited.

 

[Lord Greyjoy]

Like everyone and their mothers and high school-aged brothers, I miss Mileena. But otherwise, really happy with the roster. Most of the cast is on the top of their game, and that's more important than selection IMO (otherwise Armageddon is technically the best roster, and we can't have that).

 

[xWildx]

It’s better than MKX, but without Mileena in there I honestly can’t get as hype for the roster as I would like.

Having her and Sindel back would literally be like fucking Christmas for me.

 

[Apex Kano]

Pretty good roster, but I'm ready for a game that doesn't have Kano, Raiden and Sonya.

Those are key staple MK1 roster characters. They not going no where. That's like saying you want Guile and Sagat gone from the initial roster. Ohh wait SF5??

 

[Slade]

I'm a little torn. I actually like all of the new characters or at least the potential with them. But I'm also incredibly disappointed at the many omissions as well character wise. I'm still perplexed as to how Fujin is not in this game. He could potentially still be at least NPC, but I just don't understand how he wouldn't be involved in this game's story. He was left off in the second half of the last game inexplicably, so who knows lol

 

[Pizza]

Even if some characters I like don't make it to the roster (or are future DLC), this roster is way better than MKX, and I dare say it's one of the best rosters in the franchise history.
