MKX - rumoured spoilers!

Really ? some people wants cage and sonya to be playable in the game?
I think CASSIE take the chances.

If it is true, alot of my worries would ease while at the same time cause even other worries, good find!
Spoiler:
If it is true I'm happy that some post MK3 characters make it in. What worries me though is they may completely skip the deception timeline right after MK4 (since a good chunk would be already spent on it) and would go 25 years into the future.

Spoiler:
I wouldn't be pissed about skipping the timeline after MK4.
I kind of expected it with Ed saying that MK X would take place after MK9, and also have a new original story.
A new "original story" doesn't automatically = bad, imo.
Sure the MK:DA and Deception stories were great, but with NRS not wanting MK to head in the direction of the terrible Armageddon, this is also a chance for them to write something original and fresh for MK.


@Everyone Else -
New story doesn't automatically = characters not showing up (it could, but it doesn't HAVE to mean that).
New story could also mean that the way in which some of these returning characters come back is different, but doesn't mean bad, imo.

For example, Sub-Zero is my favorite character.
If it ends up being a descendant of either Kuai-Liang or Bi-Han, it would be a new was for NRS to expand on the Sub-Zero character, while adding substance to his story.
What if it is a descendant, and this Sub-Zero wan't to bury the hatchet with Scorpion, and they team up to go after a common enemy (Quan Chi)?

Wait...maybe that means, not only does Raiden not want Armageddon to happen within the MK universe, but NRS doesn't want it to happen in ours also! How nice of them to save our realm as well!

LOL.


The armageddon occurs when kombattants were too many and too powerful than they could destroy the universe. In the new timeline, with many characters killed and many who don't join the Mortal Kombat tournament, Blaze has no reason to ask Caro and Orin to awake the two brothers (although Daegon is still awake).
 
^ What caused the "overpowering" or characters and instability of the realms was the destruction of the kamidogu, which had to be done to defeat Onaga, I think. I wonder how it will be this time around, also it must be noted , strictly speaking Armageddon isn't really averted as of yet in the altered timeline.

Except several of the kombatants at Armageddon were killed but returned later on (see Mileena). And we know that the Netherrealm has the souls of most of the Trilogy era Earthrealm Defenders. Not to mention of all the characters who didn't die or weren't shown dying in MK9.

Kitana wasn't in playable in Mortal Kombat: Tournament Edition, don't think she even appeared at all in this one, for the GBA and she wasn't initially playable in Deception. She was added to the playable roster in Unchained.

I said the post MKA games.... I meant she has been in all the last games so it´s kinda obvious she´s a perfect choice to be cut from the roster

That or Rain and Tanya ruling Edenia (which would really have no royalty after the Princess and the queen are dead) then the 2 traitors would get dethroned by Ermac. Infact here is how the story should go.

Rain takes over Edenia as ruler and let's Tanya be his queen.

However, Tanya would kill Rain in story mode later on by seducing him to bed just to rip off his p*nis (censorship noted).

Then, Ermac (as King Jerrod) would dethrone Tanya by killing her in battle.

I'm fine with anyone ruling as long as they get kicked off the throne for Immortal King Ermac.:)

Kitana has had a history of being a roster cut under a variety of circumstances.

MK3 - With the exceptions of the Unmasked Sub-Zero (an effort to sell the "younger brother of MK1 Sub-Zero" part as canon), the new Cyber Ninja concept, and a resprited Noob Saibot, all ninjas were dropped from MK3. This was due to either time constraints, a pay dispute with Katalin Zamiar & Daniel Pesina (along with an advertising transgression by the latter), or a combination of the two. This was solved for UMK3 by having MK3 Sub-Zero/Shang Tsung actor John Turk do the male ninjas while a new actress, Becky Gable, did the females.

MK4 - As was the case with others intended to return, Kitana's in-game model was reskinned to create a new character, Tanya. However, Kitana's model remained in the game, as it was necessary for Liu Kang's ending. Kitana would be brought back for Mk Gold, a Dreamcast-exclusive port of MK4.

MKD - Kitana was a cutting room floor character due to increasing fan demand for Arcade era characters who had not made very many appearances (or in some cases, none) since their debuts. Kitana's original render was used for Mileena.

Ah, thank you for the informative post. Didn't realize that Kitana was been cut or missing so much. Though it could be that I only ended up getting the final release versions and only played the regular versions, that had arcade versions, when I was much younger. Would thank you but not sure how that feature even works.
 
^^ Yes, probably the worst character design for MK9 - I mean you could get away with the Edenian females dressing like that or even Sheeva, since Goro wears practically nothing but slippers. But in case of Sonya... it just looks like a stripper with a military costume... as much as I love Sonya - she is after all the original MK female, I cannot take her seriously. I have to lol at Johnny Cage's "Wow, so that's not just a costume, you're actual military?!" line everytime...

I am glad Cassie Cage is not continuing that trend.
 
I think they won't. I heard Ed say in one of the video interviews that in MK9 they went a bit over the top with it and that in MKX it'll be more down to earth - no strippers.

I'm really curious what Sonya's costume will look like. Considering she'll be like 20+ yrs older, I doubt they'll be showing us her tits lol. She's going to be like what... 40-45? She'll have to look mature in every way.
 
I could see females such as Tanya having slightly revealing outfits, but as long as it is not over-the-top, I am okay with that. I am happy with both D'Vorrah's and Cassie's designs.
 
i kinda want these spoilers to be real... but 14 new characters are way too many. i'd want 10 at MOST.... sure MK would be 'fan service' and possibly 'stale' with all the old characters. BUT, what about tekken, SF, DoA... they never add new characters, and pretty sure they just added yet ANOTHER expo to SF4, (at this point its like "ultra super mega street fighter four, arcade omega alpha centennial anniversary edition")


i think that if the roster is indeed 24-30~ we get 6-8 new characters, 12 from mk9, and 6-8 from mk4.

Dude, Ed already said there will be more new characters than any previous title. That record is 11 from MK:DA. So we're definitely getting 12+, that's confirmed. And he also confirmed characters from DA and Deception will be playable, just not how many/few.
