Dumb? That's how it fucking used to be.

As little as four years ago you could buy a game and be happily surprised when a someone you didn't expected shows up, or someone brand new makes an awesome appearance.

I remember being so hype when Quan and Cyber-Sub appeared in MK9(I luckily wasn't spoiled before release).

I want even more of that in this game.
go on a blackout then. I want to know what I'm buying.

I don't want to know how the story mode will go, what features the game has and so on. I just want to know if the characters I like are in.

bye felicia
I'm going to assume its johnny. He was the first character to have it, its never changed, and he's the only character worth putting on a shirt that has it. Nobody is printing Kabal or Reiko or whatever other retard character shirts, that's for sure.

Well Boon replied that the BF-LK was reptile's dash. So calm down everyone. I hope we won't be seeing Kabal any time soon.

Also regarding the MK4 returning character, my bet is on Shinnok. I hope more return of course.
Yeah keep assuming it's Johnny then :rolleyes:

you know what? I'm happy with that roster and hope it's true.
And the maybe characters better also be in.

Would be really happy with that roster

I think on this point, talking about actual MK era, Cyrax an Sektor are most important characters, this game needs at least one robot ninja.
And Scarlet, Frost, Kai, Jarek, and all MK Deception new chars don't stand a chance.
I hope for playable Shinnok and I like Bo Rai Cho, Smoke (human or not) maybe out.
From MK4 originals, Fujin, Shinnok and Reiko.
For me Rain have a chance and Tremor is probably a NRS choice.

This sounds like nothing more than educated guessing. I can do the same.

13 confirmed.
Jax, Sonya, and Jacqui playable.
Shinnok playable.
Takeda. Similar moves as Kenshi spread across 3 variations.
Liu Kang. No MK without him.
Mileena returns.
3 more new characters, possibly the names with info mentioned.
Shang Tsung returns.
Goro is the 25th character.

No Noob.
No Smoke.
No robots.
No Fujin, Tanya, or Bo.
Reiko will be one of the DLC.

That list is already fucked up because the web series confirmed Kung Jin as being Kung Lao's nephew and not his son.


The rest of that is just basing things off of what we already know and not actually anything substantial, hence why anything that isn't already pretty much a lock is "maybe" or "no".

Johnny Cage
I don't think Johnny will be playable. Maybe a DLC later down the line. Older Johnny probably gets bodied mid story as an excuse to exclude him.

With Cassie in everyone thought she was bumping Sonya but it was him. I mean she has some of his normals, a copy of his nutpunch, and his trademark shadow kick. Looking like a Jade tribute type of deal.

According to Himmerick and Lansdown on Twitter, we will be getting a video before the end of February. The video will have another character reveal plus extra stuff. Cool.
However, that one character reveal leaves us, at the very least, 10 empty spots on the select screen. We all have seen the hints/semi-reveals of some characters (Bow guy, *Jax, *Sonya, *Liu, *Mileena) but nothing official. Either March is going to be a shitstorm of reveals hype, or they are going to go with a bunch of fighters not revealed before launch. Thoughts? I'm not looking for your opinion on "who" they might reveal (we have that already, ad nauseum), but how NRS/WB is going to handle the month of March.

What tweet did they confirm this in? All I see is stuff about the next stream.
