So, I've taken a look again, and I can now confirm Johnny is definitely in.
A dude sent me another picture of the JC pose, but this one has a certain bloody text, why yes, it's FATALITY.
Sharpening up the picture reveals this model matches the one from the backgrounds perfectly, not only that but while blurry, you can kind of tell there's three words above fatality, obviously those would be Johnny Cage Wins.
Kano also shows up fighting Cassie in the LOCAL menu option, so we might have another confirmation our hands.
A few potential chars to be added in:
Noob shows up in the NO WAY OUT time tower, while a mysterious character who some have said was Smoke shows up inside the kustomization menu, but looking at it again, it seems there's a bow and arrow right on the lower right corner of the image, and the dude seems to have a quiver on his back. The design itself resembles another character instead - Kung Jin's alternate. The difference being a lack of sleeves compared to that outfit.
Another reason why I believe that might be Kung Jin and not Smoke is because traditionally since MK4, in non Trilogy/compilation esque games, there's only 1-2 counterpart male ninjas to Scorp/Sub. For example, MK4 had Reptile and Noob. MKDA had Reptile, with Noob being exclusive to GBA in TE. MKD had Noob and Ermac. MKX had Reptile and Ermac (with Tremor being added as DLC)
Assuming both Noob and Rain are in, as well as the bow and arrow thingie, it's possible the rule is in effect and that's just Kung Jin. Another hint is that the bow and arrow thing along with the quiver only light up when characters is selected, along with the rest of that character model.
(very start of the video for reference)
I'll update the char select screen soon with JC and Kano at least. JC for sure is in.
@Rice you were right dude!
