hey question. we all seem to think the trilogy cast minus the playable bosses will be but the roster, but i was thinking, if that Goro render is real wouldn't it make more sense than to make a playable balanced version of goro similiar to the one in deception and armageddon and include him and leave out sheeva. that way the fans get a popular character they want, and you can leave out someone who fans may view as a filler space wasting character (sheeva) Then i thought about something else, raiden will most likely by playable, so will that mean we will get a playable shao kahn? we did in deception and mk vs dc. after realizing that i think we have a better chance of seeing a playable goro who hopefully will take sheeva's spot as well as a playable shao kahn.
the point of this entire rant i guess is to say i don't think we can live by the trilogy minus the playable bosses and double characters rule. what do u guys think?

You are fooling yourself if you think the roster will be the original 26. The reality is we have no clue, which is why we salivate everytime they mention a new reveal. There will be a twist somewhere down the line.

WTF is a Hornbuckle...
Hell NO Goro is no substitute for Sheeva. Have em both for all I care as long as I get some Sheeva. I don't see why there can't be two Shokan's. There are so many ninja's FFS. And btw that Goro render is old...

Sheeva has been a waste of a character slot ever since MK 3.

Hornbuckle is what fans called the guy in the Pit 2 background (Liu Kang look-alike) who was fighting Blaze (the guy people called "Torch" back then).
Here's the entire Pit 2:
Sheeva's alright btw. I like how brutal her moves are. Especially her Untamed Fury. I kind of prefer her over Kabal too.

Nasty_Freak, your posts are endearing. But you wanting those specific characters back... You know, those guys were boring then and they'd be boring now. Quan Chi is probably the only one I'd care to see back. And Nitara... seriously, MK doesn't need vampires. Vampires are stupid.

Well, I think vampires would make a brilliant addition to the MK franchise. I mean, their lust for blood and gore is what they are mostly famous for. In fact, Nitara is the "Bloodrayne" of MK. Meaning, she can not only chew up the victim but also dismember him afterwards like what Bloodrayne did in her game. But that's just my opinion. As for the rest of the characters, I guess they are just extras but if I were the creator, I'd give them a chance to shine.

Really? Vampires are now known to sparkle. Not be dangerous. Besides nitara had her chance to shine.. then the next time we saw her was because they included every character in that game. Nitara will be forgotten. thankfully. Mk are more creative than vampires. They created shokan, tarkatan, whatever species reptile is.. mk universe doesn't need vampires.

Lets keep MK 9 serious plz. Meat was everything but a serious character. Back then MK II had only 12 characters but it rocked because every character had his importance in the story. I would like it to continue that way. 25+ characters is already a good roster no need for uncharismatic characters like meat or additional characters via DLC ( maybe 2 or 3 not more)
Quantity do not mean quality
I wasn't suggesting Meat as a playable character. I'm as against that as you are! I just think he would be a good practice dummy. He wouldn't need any moves, a pretty average stance and very little animations would be used by him. The NR team seems to be excited about their internal modeling they've created for the new game. What better way to show it off than have the whole model viewed at once so you can beat it up and see what kind of results come of it?

I like that idea still, just make him a practice dummy to show their whole "unique internal damage system"
This is so untrue! Sheeva was an original character from any pont of view (exceptionnal moves, body etc...) and she's the only female shokan out there. She is a must! I am not a big fan of her but you can't close your eyes in front of such originality.

Aside from being female, the Shokan thing had been done before with Goro and Kintaro in MK 1 and MK II.
Sheeva felt redundant and unnecessary, to me, in MK 3.
For me, Sheeva and Stryker were the Hsu Hao of MK 3.
They just weren't that interesting.
I respect your opinion but Goro & Kintaro were bosses and not selectable players and way too powerful. With Sheeva you could choose a shokan as a regular character, of course you need to like the 4 handed shokans to feel any interest in her. But hey, we all have different tastes (fortunatly or else we would all have the same wife, job and music taste lol)
PS: HOLY !!! Sheeva has nothing to do with Hsu Hao man!

Well, Sheeva actually does have a role in MK3, she was the personal protector for sindel and she had this intense rivalry with motaro, due to the war between the centaurs and the shokan, so sheeva should be in it. Now, stryker on the other hand has no story at ALL, except for being a riot officer who happens to be saved by raiden so he could help earthrealm. So based on that, i wonder who is the waste of space in the MK universe.

I know that Sheeva has nothing to do with Hsu Hao. I'm just saying that I HATE Sheeva and Stryker just as much I HATE Hsu Hao. lol
I HATE all 3 characters equally.

That's a great idea. The only time we would see Meat would be in a Practice mode. We could beat up on him, and he would get more and more blood show on top of his organs. I hope that there is a Practice/Challenge mode similar to SF4.

I bet Sheeva will be in the game as one of Shao Kahn's minions. If people hate her so much, just wait to get the game and then finish her off with your favotite characters. lol ;-)
I think kind of like Sheeva though. I mean she is the only Shokan and just her special moves are BRUTAL already. What more with her fatalities in this game?

Me too! I hate Sheeva and Stryker, and I hate Hsu Hao even more.
Nevertheless, for me Stryker and Sheeva could be in this game, as long as they don't take the place of someone I like, for instance Jade, Sindel, Sonya or Ermac.
Oh, and for who hasn't seen yet, Tanya can be seen in the MKast #2 part 2, at 07:35!
