The fifth is Shinnok. Those five were revealed. Erron and the rest didn't get a proper reveal; they were blink-and-you'll-miss-it moments.

True, he did have the most screen time of those I listed. Really hope JC and Erron make it in though. JC is one of my favs, although Cassie would make his absence a little more bearable, as she has his sense of humor. Also Erron has to make it in imo. It would be cruel and a waste to show us such a cool looking new character and not make him playable, ill be shocked if hes not in.
 
I was thinking "WTF?" when people were suggesting that woman was Li Mei because i'd consider her one of the better looking female characters in MK whereas this character looks pretty simple, but then I thought, "would Li Mei have aged as well?"

MK series has never had good continuity in physical appearances of characters.
 
Also mere speculation, and maybe i'm looking into it too far but perhaps Sonya does die in the storymode? When Raiden is pulling Shinnok into the amulet, you hear "Li Mei" saying, "those caught in the middle pay the price" and you can see what appears to be Sonya flaked out in the background between them.

Nope. Sonya is alive in the comics, which take place after Shinnok's imprisonment.
 
Amazing analysis, I didn't even notice Sonya or Baraka.... I saw two tarkatans but didn't think they were him. And definitely didn't notife Kotal, Reptile, and Ermac surrounding the noobies. But I don't see Ermac in the Kove area, I only see reptile.
 
i don't know, mk characters never aged before and now they decide to age li mei but not quan chi, repitile or any other non-earthrealm character
 
Something else I caught after the looking the screencaps over again- The scene where Cassie and her cohorts are surrounded by Kotal Kahn and his goons in the middle of a forest also has a red aura to it, just like the bloody Shaolin stage.

So I guess the red cloud/eruption WAS Kotal's doing and this happens in the middle of the story, so I'm thinking this is where the new guys get captured along with a bunch of shaolin monks and taken to Outworld and this is also where some of the revenants are freed from Quan Chi's mind warp. Also, if I remember correctly, the normal Shaolin Temple stage has a number coffins laying around, which means a massacre of some sort happened there.

Now the pieces fall into place :D

I loved how Cassie punched Sindel, exactly how she was on MK9, and the former Empress felt nothing, like a true revenant.

All that fight inside a cloud of red...

Most of the video was focused on Kotal v Mileena story arc, and their respective crews, which is where Reiko exists. His absence is noted, unlike Quan Chi or Sektor or Frost who have bugger all to do with that.

Unless you think that Rain is the only character in Mileena's camp, and also that Goro won't appear in the story despite having a gorgeous model ready to go (for some definitions of gorgeous), we have most definitely not seen everyone involved in the Kotal vs Mileena arc of the story.
 
[MENTION=18253]Lord Greyjoy[/MENTION] Awesome Rundown

Got some stuff I liked too. Sorry if there might be reruns lol

-Opens up with the Heroes (Cassie, Jacqui, Takeda & Kung Jin) being surrounded by the Lin Kuei at their Temple (Never quite understood the Lin Kuei? Is it full of Ninja with special abilities [Ice, Smoke, Bombs & Fire], and why is it just Blue or is it bc Sub Zero is incharge?)

-Elder Sub Zero looks bad ass! Scar and Beard and White Eyes or possibly Blind???? (Assumption is Kuai Liang), Seems alil "Cold" get it Cold LMAO! I mean colder than usual. Telling all 4 they are not welcomed to the Lin Luei. Something must've happened. These are Family members of the Heroes.

-Cassie is the "Leader" but they don't follow. Im sure its just bc they are all young and they don't take orders very well...especially from someone their own age. But Subz drops knowledge on them. "Function as one or Fall"

-Tarkatans in the Docking area for ships and it does seem at the Far left it could be Baraka waiting for the his Horde with the captives. Or it could just be a Captain Tarkatan! What's their role &/or whats Baraka's Role?

-Kotal's Army/Jailer look mighty impressive.

-Jacqui and Takeda Captured...hmmmm

-Huge Aircraft Carrier in Refugee Camp!

-Woman in the Chair I don't think will be playable but might be a crucial role OR just has crucial information about the War

-Shinnoks Talisman/Amulet-Finally answered! Was wondering where it was. Wasn't on Quan Chi. Mileena has it some how. And apparently Shinnok is locked away in it! Maybe he powers it until released.

-IDK if that guy next to Shinnok is Johnny Cage like some ppl are assuming. One he has BLONDE hair and 2 doesn't seem like something he would wear. Also looks like there was a woman knocked out on the floor. Possible Sonya. As far as Johnny being Earths Champion, i don't think he is the Sole Champion. I think he was just the Champion that Kotal would talk to.

-The 4 Heroe's being escorted to see Kotal Kahn (Is there some sort of alliance?)

-Kotal Kahn has a meeting with Kano who has info on Mileena's Rebel Army. (Is Kano actually helping, does he have an agenda or is this a betrayal on his part?)

-Erron Black marching Kotal's army. He looks bad ass. Revolvers and Rifle! I can wait to see what he does

-OMG Mileena, let me just say, She looks so damn sexy with clothes on LOL! IRONIC right! And I noticed her eyes are back to the reptilian look/cateyes. Sai's on her back is a good look too. And she seems to speak more like an adult instead of a child.

-Its Kotal's Army verse Mileena's Tarkatan Horde

-What is that red Giant Cloud! Could it be the finale? Blood Demon?!?!?!!?

-Hanzo vs Takeda (Younger)- Sparring or Fighting? Falling Out?

-Kung Jin is the Bowman from the Tower and to be honest I like him

-RAIN-if anything Yes he survives Kotals Sun Blast and is in the story at the very least. Dropkicks Kotal off the edge the bldg.

-Revenants of Sindel for sure; It looks like Kitana but im unsure but they look amazing (Possibly a flashback or an early scene)


This video was definitely a TEASE! God Job Ed...You win yet again...I am craving for more!!!!!

We don't see Cassie's crew anywhere near that battle, so it's possible that this one is a flashback. I don't think it is, just throwing this out as a possibility.

Definitely not a flashback, Cassie and Takeda are in that scene, so it's 25 years in.

While I thought he looked a little skinny compared to how ripped and bad ass JC looked in the comic I think it's him. No way there just happens to be some random dude and chick that looks like Sonya with Raiden. And I think he is Earthrealm's new champion. Kotal wouldn't speak with Sonya so he didn't just mean one of Raidens heroes. I could be wrong but I think that was JC and he is Earthrealm's sole champion.
