Shut Down!
zatanna will be in the next game for sure. WB will have to answer Dorctor Strange with their own magic film.. Maybe Dr Fate or something and Zatana will be in it. I'm calling it now, she will have her own major film very soon (and not just in Justice league dark) and therefore be in the new injustice game.



how could he be anywhere else... everyone hates Kabal.
Everybody hates kabal? Wtf for one in mk9 the player had to have amazing execution and also towards the end of the game people were beating my kabal... Also his NDC pressure was the sickest design ever. People hated him bc they got bodied but I've tweeted ed everyday for two years about kabal. So speak for yourself bc Kabal is my favorite character and he would be an amazing edition to mkx.

We need a girl or two if there is another KP. Only one out of nine DL characters are female.

Perhaps Sindel / Li Mei (given she was in story mode) / Fujin / Rain OR Baraka

If I never see a guest character in a future MK game it will be too soon

Shut Down!
well he is polling as last... so I think you are in the minority...
Of the noobs that look at his twitter. Anyone who is a hardcore mk fan has respect for kabal. I'm just pissed that someone like you probably ha their character and then the only character I want in mk before it even came out gets brought up and you bring the hate. and say "everybody" hates kabal. Well I bet everyone hates you -_- just saying learning mk9 was some of my fondest mk memories. Brings me in my element to play him and boom kabal isn't even on, yet he won the most tournaments. I'm looking for some hype cyrax/ kabal and Lao/ kabal rematches. Plus I want to be Kaballin again. He's more than just a character to me. Kabal is a way of life.

Kabal is the shit. Period. I don't care if people counter-picked him or gimmicked him in MK9...

His design is sick. Dude gets burned the fuck out... barely alive on a portable nebulizer wit dat hair doe...

Shoots sparks. Has mad hook-swords. Dashes the fuck outta people into a dizzy tornado.

The man. (Black Dragon needs some love too...)

I used to feel like I would slow Down time with the NDC pressure as I would choose to cancel the dash or commit in a split second. Literally felt like Neo from the matrix dodging the bullets in slow motion. I miss this feeling :( #kaballin

He's not wrong. Everyone that didn't play Kabal hated him and thought he was a plague on MK9, rightfully so.

he wasn't just hated,.. he was despised and the people that played him were only a step above cheaters in the eyes of many. It left such a bad taste in peoples mouths that I would put money on not seeing a new version even in mk11.

Kabal is great and is a fairly popular character

People just hate him on here because he was OP in MK9. People hate Tanya because she was seen as OP but before that, she was very popular and nearly made MK9 (according to Boon).

Don't confuse getting salty with a character's gameplay mechanics with hating the character itself.

I love Noob, but most of his moveset is with Johnny Cage now. It would be just like having Jade with Kitana's mournful variation in this game. So, no for Noob.
About Jade - not really. Jade's most important aspect was range (sttaff moves) and anti-zoning (flash), which Mournful doesn't really have. Plus glow which no one has in this game. Such a great move, wasted potential, except the +50% damage, that was wack.

I think it's the idea of stunt double doing the mimicked specials emulating Noob summoning his shadow clone
Yeah but SD (and JC as a big whole) have nothing to do with Noob, at all.
No Teleport, no Portal, no Shurikens, no Invisibility, not even Ghost Ball. JC has only 2 clone moves in his entire moveset, plus they have to be activated unlike Noob.
Just saying

Yeah and mornful Kitana only has 3 moves from Jade yet is the 'Jade' variation. I'm not saying that's adequate or good enough, just that NRS would probably use an excuse to not put Noob in if there were a KP3. I'd personally love to see Noob here

Was never a huge fan of his move set in MK9, even though it separated him from SubZero. I think he would need some really adjustments to make him MKx worthy. Not sure what the could do but i think that there is untapped awesome in "shadow powers"
2 things, they need to make him a grappler and they need to make his shadow charge from MK9 cancelable into strings. So when you use his shadow charge you could stop his shadow's run short with a Saibot specific normal just like you can stop your runs short in MKX with normals. You could then go into 1 of a few different strings that you could stagger and/or cancel with a command grab special for a short period of time, during which Noob would be totally vulnerable.

And the reason he should be a grappler/zoning grappler is because his moveset in MK9 just screamed tag team wrestler with his teleport, X ray, grab, fatalities and df3, plus MKX is short on grapplers and zoners and those 2 play styles have never really been mixed before.

wouldn't that feel like a total rip off fomr the Mikia character in STV that is so popular right now?

"Mind Over Matter" I dont mind, and X dont matter
Kabals Brutality in 2017 ending with "Let's see what You're made of!" And that twisted psycho lough he had on his X-Ray! He has the legacy to be Top tier.

The only similarity would be the tag team wrestler part, so not really. That's like saying Rashid feels like a Fujin rip off because they both have wind powers.

Couldn't agree more - Mournful is the very vanilla version of Jade. She (way more than Kitana and Mileena) would have fitted on the variations system from MKX. I mean, glaives, staff and glow. Not to forget her MK6 teleport move.

But considering she is not even on the poll, i'd like them to keep her for MK11.

So true about the mournful / Jade Comparison

And you know what? that + 50% totally worthed it. The feeling when landing a 3, db2 etc while being in glow was pure orgasm.
