Didn't Kano survive? I don't think he's seen again after he warns the bad guys about Cyber Sub-Zero. I just want Kano back. Maybe this time he can start bottom 3, then get buffed to god tier, then get nerfed to top 10 status, instead of the other way around...

Top 10> nerfed to bottom tier>end in bottom tier?

I wouldn't rule out anyone not coming back for that matter. The story writers will always find a reason/way to bring back a character. Remember zombie Liu Kang?

I'm not going to post which characters I want back as I feel it will make little difference amongst a voice of thousands. All I will say is I would like there to be less ninjas in the game. Feels like half the cast wears a mask.
 
I really agree that the "new generation" characters deserved a second chance, keep the classics and bring the newer characters, now that Netherrealms have the resources, they can give new life to these characters.

I agree with this list. Always digged Mavado's design btw.
The new "3D generation" of MK characters do deserve a second chance. I bet my collection of PS2 games that if some of the newer characters (Drahmin, Ashrah, Mavado and Havik come to mind) made their first appearances in the MKII–UMK3 times, with creative special moves for the 2D gameplay, then they would've been much better recieved. They did not get a proper opportunity to shine with the 3D era of MK.

Oh yeah, I want Kratos, Drahmin, Havik, Mokap, and Freddy Krueger for MK10!
Doesn't matter if Kratos and Freddy are guests: make them official MK characters please. :DOGE
Kabal.
Pre-patch Kung Lao.
Martian Manhunter as DLC.

Do you really need anyone else?:DOGE
Indeed we do!

NRS needs to add characters based on the canon story. (I'm not a fan of Resurrection mind you)

my prediction for Cast of Mortal Kombat X(10)

RETURNING...
Scorpion (Evil/Good)
Ermac (Good)
Reptile (Evil)
Johnny Cage (Good)
Cyrax (Evil/Good)
Sektor (Evil)
Sonya (Good)
Kano (Evil)
Baraka (Evil)
Raiden (Good)
Sheeva (Evil)
Quan-Chi (Evil

NEW...
Kenshi (was DLC) (Good)
Rain (was DLC) (Evil/)
(scarlet is cool but not at all important story wise)
Shinnok (Evil)
Jataaka (Evil)
Sareena (Evil)
Kai (Good)
Reiko (Evil)
Tanya (Good/Evil)
Fujin (Good)
BoRaiCho (Good)
Li-Mei (Good)
Mavado (Evil)
Frost (Good)
Hsu Hao (Evil)
Nitara (Neutral)
Kira (Evil)
Kobra (Evil) (SHOTO JOKE)
Havik (Evil)

STORY...
I think the story will most likely revolve around Quan-Chi and Shinnok recruiting villains to help the Brotherhood of Shadows conquer the realms.
I'm guessing they will receive help from The Dragon clans and the Lin Kuei. They will also get help from Shao Kahn's formers and the Chaos Realm(Havik).....
Making a terrifying cast of villains. Can Raiden and his new champions stop them?

SUB-STORIES...
Scorpion learning the truth behind the death of the Shirai-Ryu. Then aiding Raiden.
Ermac free from the control of Shao Kahn joins Raiden.
Cyrax System Malfunction and regaining his humanity, thus joining Raiden.
Cyrax and Frost take down the Lin Kuei. (would be sick!)
Kai Becomes earthrealms new champion.

VERY IMPORTANT!!!
The Sub Plot between Nitara, Cyrax, and Reptile that will set up the whole Dragon King thing! MKXI

MK11 Kabal = MK9 Kitana
TBH, I love how Kabal plays in MK9... to me, he's the most fun to play as in the game. Just remove the broken shit (9% fireballs with no cooldown, and EX Nomad Dash Cancels) and he's good to go.

Let's think deep here and for many reasons, but the most intriguing is the fact that these characters would in time, finally make their competitive spotlight. Ever since Mortal Kombat 2011, the NetherRealm Studios' tournament scene continues to grow. From what was relatively small has erupted in to a life force that not only continues to thrive in local scenes across the globe, it has also captured the memories of EVO's, MLG's and the hearts of the very developers who continue to support us and listen to us.

The next Mortal Kombat will be huge and the characters that return will bring the hype. Tony Searle, over at WhatCulture.com has written an awesome editorial on what 12 characters should be in the next Mortal Kombat. While giving great backgrounds on all twelve characters, check out his editorial and tell us if you agree with his choices.

The best part about his choices? Not a single character picked was in Mortal Kombat 2011, making these characters the lesser known, however I would argue that Jarek from Mortal Kombat 4 should be included. Continue over to WhatCulture to read his full write-up!

His picks:
  1. Shinnok
  2. Sareena
  3. Bo Rai Cho
  4. Li Mei
  5. Ashrah
  6. Drahmin
  7. Frost
  8. Havik
  9. Fujin
  10. Nitara
  11. Kai
  12. Tanya

Do you agree with this list?

No. I don't have much love for post MK3 characters. Bo Rai Cho, Fujin, and Kenshi are cool though. It's not a big mystery why NRS decided to use a klassic roster for MK9.

Add Liu Kang, Noob Saibot, Cyber SubZero, Smoke and you're good to go! :)
I can see them coming back with NO resurrections (I'm not a fan either)...

For instance, Kang is not dead, just Kabal-like burned.
Noob Saibot didn't die in the "soulnado" in which Nightwolf kicked him in. He could have just teleported in another realm.
Sektor and the Lin Kuei can collect Smoke's body and turn him into a cyborg (evil/neutral allegience).
As for Cyber Sub-Zero, he's just a machine-they can fix him! My fear is whether or not will we have a human Sub-Zero or not in the story. I guess he can be in MK10 as a 2nd costume (Cyblax-like). And I want evil Kang!

I don't know if I really like that though...
I see where your coming from, but it doesn't seem that logical (thought this IS Mortal Kombat)
My prediction was basically that Kai replaces Lui, and Frost replacing Sub....
I also don't want the game to be over crowded with character, but I want the new ones (4 and DA) to get a better shot at being memorable. So I'm ok with losing some of the cast. As long as none of the characters are as Busted as Vanilla Kung-Lao or Kabal/Cyrax
 

FCP/EMP SCAR

Warrior
1.Fujin
2. Bo Rai Cho
3. Jax
4. Lui Kang ( Now evil on his quest to become the new fire god)
5.Frost
6. Skarlet
7. Tanya
8.Jataaka
9.Reiko
10. Li Mei
11. Shujinko
12. Zombie Kung Lao lol
 

STRYKIE

Are ya' ready for MK11 kids?!
Give me Robot Smoke and I'll pull an NWO on the Shirai Ryu. I'm sure Crazy Dominican Sr. will do the same to Edenia too.
 

STRYKIE

Kabal.

Pre-patch Kung Lao.

Martian Manhunter as DLC.


Do you really need anyone else?:DOGE
Besides the point of the joke but pre-patch Kung Lao wasn't all that different honestly, it was more because the vast majority were still unfamiliar with the mechanics and momentum of the game (doesn't sound reminiscent at all :DOGE) and the shitstorm about the EVO 2011 grand finals because a certain character couldn't do anything about Spin or Low hat.

Unless of course you mean like, Vanilla Kung Lao, where he was basically the meterless equivalent of Cyrax, had less gravity scaling on divekicks, and had a true infinite.

CHARACTERS

The Next game will be huge

Halfway through Story Mode you can free the Soles of the Dammed ( Everyone that Sindel Killed in MK9)

• Scorpion

• Liu Kang

Master
Can you give me your take on what's wrong with Hotaru?

On this forum, I've seen only one other member express their like for Hotaru, most everyone else either implies or states outright that they don't like him.

I'm sorry if this seems rude.
you were as polite as it gets

the answer is: probably he because he is some order guy and his character design seems pretty bland to me
