I read it was Exo-Suit Jacqui, or something like that. Would love to hear more for Cassie too though.
I'm pretty sure the exo suit thing just started as fan rumour due to one of the characters getting a dramatic redesign after Tylers comments during the last cast. There was never any legitmate T about her being in an exo suit.

I don't mean to be toxic but it's fucking hilarious when people go "WOW NOOB (or any character) IS IN BUT NOT SINDEL (or Fujin) WOW BOON WOW"

Listen, we all have our favorite characters but can we please be logical about who is going to be in mortal kombat base rosters going forward? These guys are running a business at the end of the day.

Sindel uses her fucking hair to throw people. Think about that. Fujin controls wind. Uhhh... These are pretty uninspiring and flat out silly characters. Nrs knows this. They gotta get the main mk characters roster spots before they start catering to vague super fan wishes like HAVIK and SINDEL. There's a chance they'll be turned into great dlc characters where they belong.

And sorry if you think characters like D'Vorah are boring. She's waaaaaay cooler than Sindel or a goofy ass wind god with a corny move list.
What’s wrong with her hair as a power.....in addition to levitation, sonic screams, scream balls?

They take up valuable spots of interesting characters...and why do they have to be in EVERY game, they can sit out a game.
I honestly think it wouldn't really work at this point. They're really the only force protecting Earthrealm currently, unless they reboot again, which I really hope they don't.

She's screaming 'mermaid/ocean deity to me. I think she's an elder god. Hope she's not a jobber.

Potential influences?

There are less Special Forces character in MK11 than there were in MKX though. If you don't want any at all, that's entirely unrealistic. Some of them are iconic and others are fan favorites.
I’d rather see Kenshi and Cyrax in the special forces than family drama Cage, Cage and Blade. I love Johnny, but he should quit Special Forces.

We know... you don’t like anything.
Lol, this and all the people who like it are pathetic. You only read what you want to read. I have proven already that I even give Cassie and Jacqui a chance, I only hate Jax being in, if that is hating everything, than you must be Jax fans who are pissed off. And I don’t really like the KK, but MANY people share that opinion, still you only mention me.

Which character is "interesting" is entirely subjective. Obviously some fans think those characters are interesting.
Yes dear person, but people that don’t like them also have the right to state it, just like Special Forces fans have the right to hate on actual cool characters like Rain, Noob and Skarlet.

Honestly leaks were expected, almost every fighting games have their roster leaked before the full reveal. I'm even surprised that they lasted that long before having the full roster leaked on reddit.

Even if we know the roster, NRS can still hype us with their well crafted trailers. But the way Johnny was revealed is probably the most interesting than all the previous reveals, drop the trailer earlier in the morning and analyse the reveal the character later during the Kombat Kast, I liked it

I will preface this by saying that I am playing devil's advocate in this post, and that I'm not certain about the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of jobbers. I personally don't need them, but I'm open to the idea that they work for a large portion of people.

At a certain point, doesn't the jobber status make the character useless from a story perspective? Like Baraka for example, can't say I've ever seen him win a fight. So I look at him in MK11 and I think, what's the point? I know you can't beat anyone on the roster, so why are you even here? From a narrative perspective that is. If Baraka is matched up against Johnny or Cassie, I already know they're going to fuck him up, so there's no tension.

That's why pro wrestling hasn't worked for me the past decade. It's just so obvious who Vince is trying to push, so there is no tension.

Edit: I'm happy Baraka is in the game because I he's monstrous and the fewer basic humans (looking at the five special forces characters) in the game the better. I just hope he doesn't get beat down by every character in the story.
I'm praying that Baraka kills Jacqui or one of The OG 7 so that he can actually do something important in the story or we'll get to see a timeline where Baraka rules Outworld. The poor guy needs a power boost.

Dream on, NRS will never kill one of those kids in storymode... Expect the likes of Ermac, Noob and Frost to die in storymode, but not their precious little SF, new age children. They probably beat everything again and hold off the entire cast of characters while being wounded themselves, you know, just to give us that nostalgic chills of MKX when Takeda and Jacqui hold off sindel and the other revenants, just because.

Alright I gotta say: The fuck are you guys talking about "They deserve it for this lame reveal schedule"?

You got and will get a consistent character reveal/stream once or twice a week! Do you guys fail to see how good that is compared to the way we had to wait in MKX and ESPECIALLY MK9.

Y'all don't remember the stupid Official Website crap in 9?
"dont you guys remember the awful stuff before! its better than before now, how can you not like it!"

Better than before ≠ It's good.
 
No such thing as characters taking other characters slots. If they wanted Sindel to be base roster, she'd be base roster. Removing Kano from the game wouldn't suddenly make Sindel playable.

Also lol @ scream balls.
If @EdenianWarrior is referring to the fact that NRS has limited resources then he's correct. The five special forces characters (and all characters on the leaked roster) do in fact take other potential characters' slots. So if Sindel were on the base roster, one of the characters on the leaked roster couldn't be simply due to budget constraints.

So people talking about "wasted spots" are voicing valid criticisms. Subjective of course, but valid.
