Brace yourself, i guess there will be a lot of deconfirmation like;
Sektor, Cyrax, Cyber Smoke, Cyber Sub-Zero will be deconfirmed. Triborg is the real candidate if there should be a cyborg. I see his chance better than originals because of the current roster spots.
Reiko, Fujin, Sereena, Ashrah, Havik, Hotaru, Mavado, Frost, Nitara.. NRS doesn't give a shit about them and i guess i know the reason.. I remember a lot of shitty comments on Shaun Himmerick and his family before MKX was released. It was a shame, he was cursed by the fans of Reiko, Havik and Fujin.. even Ed Boon himself was cursed by them. If there will be 3D era characters here are the real candidates in my opinion; Kenshi, Bo Rai Cho, Quan Chi and Li Mei... and i hope a real suprise like Fujin or Havik but as i said this is a suprise thing.. Drahmin? who knows.. his weapon already given to Geras and that mean Drahmin is already deconfirmed..
Of course there will be 3-4 new characters at least..
Ninjas, yes this is the real risky thing. We already have Scorpion and Sub-Zero as usual.. Rain, Noob will fallow and most likely Smoke.. There should be 5 at least.. but eliminating Reptile and Ermac from the main roster. This is the real risk.. and o yes Tremor will be %100 deconfirmed in my opinion. Chameleon? who knows, maybe as a secret character or DLC.. but not on the main roster..
Returning from MKX; we already have Cassie and she is not a suprise for me.. Takeda most likely be in but depends on his father's reveal. I think both will be confirmed. Kotal Kahn, D'vorah, Erron Black, Jacqui, Ferra Torr, i have no idea about them. Most of them will be NPC i guess and i am hoping for D'vorah and Erron Black's return. They were cool in MKX.. But this is just my hope..
Returning from MK9; Shang Tsung, Jax, Mileena and Jade are strongest characters as you know..
Possibilities looks like crazy and hinting at a lot of dissapointments but who knows how many spots will be there.. Keep your hope at the bottom.
