Just watched MK movie, new character possibility

How? Thus far, all signs indicate that every character in the first three MKs will be in the new one. What other game also had this? Trilogy. I never (and am not) suggested the game won't be good; I'm merely pointing out that (character wise) its just like Trilogy. I don't see why everyone is getting their panties in a wad.

Calling it a "Trilogy knock off" is worlds away from saying the roster for this will be the same as MKT's roster.
 
I doubt we'll see every character from MKT in MK9. Are there even enough slots for that? It's basically been confirmed that there's 24-26 slots total. I sincerely hope we don't see Stryker or Sheeva. I'd include Nightwolf in there but he's already confirmed...so drat.
 
There were 38 selectables characters in MK Trilogy.

- 2 (Chameleon & Khameleon)
-4 (MK1 Raiden, MK2 Jax, MK2 Kung Lao, MK1 Kano)
-4 (Goro, Kintaro, Motaro, Shao Kahn)
-2 (Second Smoke, second Sub-Zero)

So.. 38 - 12 = 26. 26 slots exactly (not counting the ? and DLC squares) in the MK2011 select screen.. The numbers are too exact to be coincidence, in my opinion.

Also, for those that want to debate - It is possible that instead of Noob, the other Sub-Zero is included in-game.. I for one think that would be ridiculous, and somehow Noob should be incorporated instead. Either way, we'll have 26.
 
The older Sub-Zero IS Noob; having them in separate slots in the game is ridiculous. Some hokey time machine "story" isn't going to alter the fact that Noob and the older Sub-Zero are the same person.

Here's an easy way to rectify it; have both Sub-Zeros and Noob in the game. Noob can just be an alternate costume selection for the older Sub-Zero.
 
I think most players would agree that "if" both Sub-Zero's are going to be in the game, it would make sense for the Alternate Costumes for Classic Sub-Zero to be "Noob Saibot."
And for the Younger Sub-Zero to maybe have his Unmasked MKIII Costume and MK:DA full ninja outfit for his Alt Costume.
 
No, it won't rectify it. But it's even more hokey to have two characters that play nearly exactly the same instead of one that plays completely different from the other. Netherrealm Studios backed themselves into a corner with this one, unless of course when we first see Sub-Zero in story mode, it is the classic one.. He dies in the story, and then the 2nd Sub-Zero dons his outfit (like he did in the original games) and you could just say the SZ you select from in arcade is the 2nd one.. That would be a plausible way to bring Noob into the game.

Hopefully, that happens. The problem is, whats the point of marketing Sub-Zero as the original, if he's just going to die later on anyway?
 
Maybe, Classic Sub-Zero (original) will not die this time, and we won't need unmasked MK3 sub-zero (younger brother). maybe he will get turned into a cyber this time instead and not escape the lin kuei. too early to tell.

Maybe he'll be like Batman and Noob can be his alter-ego.

o_O
AHEM!
Or maybe they just cut Noob out and Sub-Zero never dies. It would suck but I guess it could be. Or perhaps the younger Sub-Zero becomes Noob.
 
Yeah i would like to See some more of the Black Dragon members: Tasia, No Face & Tremor. Or atleast make Tremor a new playable character, maybe a different look, but nothing too different and Tasia and No Face make a cameo, it would just be nice to see them in the game. But then again you can never go wrong adding another badass female character to the roster and in that case Tasia would be my other option. just make her more original. Kira was a great design and badass but she lacked major originality taking moves from both Kano and Sonya!

I agree with this.
 
Maybe original sub can kill his younger brother, then there'd be ONE sub-zero and they could effectively alter the story (to an extent).

Wow kill his younger brother who has always been considered a better person than original Sub? :o Would make original Sub look like an unsympathetic prick XD
Actually that might be a welcome change...
 
Nobody will buy that alteration. A hokey time-travel gimmick isn't going to change the story in the eyes/minds of fans who have liked the series since the 90s.
 
Nobody knows or cares about Kia, Jataaka and Sareena; neither one of those characters are significant to Mortal Kombat, nor are they distinguishable from one another.

As much as I love Fujin, no one really cares about him, either. The last thing the new MK game needs is a character that looks like he came straight out of James Cameron's Avatar (i.e. Shinnok).

Quan Chi, on the other hand, seems like a safe bet for DLC.

I have to agree on that one. The DLC character's will only be bought by non-hardcore fans if they look awesome or badass so Quan Chi seems to work. They might be able to seel Kenshi as well.
