Come on! We are in the spoiler section in a post that is titled "Killed in Action, Missing in Action, Survived", and the game came out 2 days ago and a week ago for some people (like me), do you think the spoiler tags are necessary?

Yeah, actually, they are. Not everyone has the game and, for the people who do, they may not have seen everything. Spoiler section or not, it also comes up on the new posts section so anyone can click new posts and see it in the list.

Please try not to be rude next time. Thanks =)

Sorry but the whole post is a spoiler.

It tells you every character that dies and every character that lives without tag spoilers, and i only tell about 2 that dies and my comment is a spoiler and the post is not? that doesnt make any sense.

I am VERY aware. I wasn't talking about any particular posts here, I was talking about your comment about spoiler tags in general. They are sometimes necessary, depending on what is being said. I didn't say ANYTHING about your post in particular having to have spoiler tags. I am speaking in general. That is why some people still add the tags.

It's a bit wacky but yeah.

Anyways, Raiden lived so I'm happy =) Had some scary moments in the beginning, though. I shed a tear.

Noob/Ermac a possibility, since Ermac feeds off soulnados?

Shang Tsung could also possibly figure a way back to life using soul absorbtion, but more likely he'll convince Quan Chi they should form the deadly alliance and have himself resurrected.

Keep in mind, the next game looks to be a fight with Netherrealm, so all the heroes already being there isn't such a bad thing. Remember, last time Johnny was the one that died and came back.
 
JADE, Kitana, and the two Shaolin Monks could've at least survived! That would probably make Kitana queen. Or they could've at least have Jade be the survivor along with Johnny Cage, Sonya, and Raiden. But since Johnny, Sonya, and Raiden survived, I think there will be new characters that will replace the heroes who died. Li Mei can replace Kitana, Taven and Kai can possible replace Liu Kang and Kung Lao, Tanya (if she turns good) can replace Jade, and a few others.

So basically the next group of heroes in MK10 can possibly be Raiden, Sonya, Johnny Cage, Fujin (he's with Raiden), Bo Rai Cho (trained the Shaolin Monks), Shijinko (he was the main character in MKD Konquest Mode), Li Mei, Kai, Taven (the main character in MKA Konquest Mode), and Tanya (if she is good).
 
I still dont think liu kang died. I think it would stupid of them to kill their main character off twice. It never showd him actually being dead, he was just burned. The others you know their dead because their souls were in the netherealm when you fought them.

I think you're right. Liu Kang might become the "Dark Raiden" character in MK10 since he was angry at Raiden when he died.

Shujinko's quest would be significantly altered in the new timeline. Alot of characters that influenced Shujinko could have never taught Shujinko as they have died. Also Li Mei probably wouldn't be in the new storyline as Shang Tsung is dead. Kai can't have been recruited by Liu Kang, as Liu Kang is presumed dead. Also Taven would be significantly altered due to Armageddon being different.

I think the future is very bleak for Raiden, Jonny and Sonya. Unless the old characters are brought back, or new characters are introduced, the good guys would probably lose in the battle against the evil guys.
 
I wouldn't worry, no one stays dead/in a different plane of existence long in MK. Scorpion was a human who got killed and came back as a demon, Johnny Cage was killed and revived by Raiden, MK 1 Sub Zero was killed and returned as Noob, Reptile was supposed to have been taken over/killed by the Dragon King, and they all ended up back in one form or another. Even when Liu Kang was killed in the opening scene of Deadly Alliance and everyone was "whoa, shit just got real", that lasted all of one game and we ended up with Zombie Liu.

Having said that, if MK 9 is the success it seems it's going to be and be the launch point of a new era of MK games then it's clear some of the current roster is going to need to be trimmed.
 
Guys, if what MK10 is going to be isn't blatantly obvious, you haven't been looking at the storyline closely enough.

The Netherrealm, and Shinnok, is going to invade both Outworld and Earthrealm with the assistance of the enslaved fallen warriors from MK9. This will result in an uneasy alliance between Earthrealm and Outworld, making the "villains" such as Baraka and Reptile among the playable protagonists. JC, Raiden, and Sonya will free the captured warriors one by one, restoring them to life, while Ermac and Scorpion eventually turn on and defeat Quan Chi/Shinnok.

If you seriously think they're going to take a crap all over the concept of a reboot by killing off all the old characters, you're not thinking clearly.

I loved the Sindel massacre, personally, it was brutal and quite frankly pretty hilarious. JC and Sonya survived, so we good, and I'm sure Sindel will be brought back and redeemed (she sure as hell better become good, NRS!) so personally I'm not worried in the slightest.

To people saying that MK needs to trim the existing roster in order to continue producing sequels with new fighters; this is not true. SSFIV AE is going to have thirty-nine characters, and Tekken 6 clocks in around there as well. MK only has like 27 at the moment. Even with 4 DLC characters, that's still only 31 by comparison.

That's room enough to add 8 new characters and still only be on parity with the latest SF game in character numbers (and AE is pretty decently balanced, too). NRS has plenty of breathing room to add new guys (which they're doing with Kenshi, Skarlet and Shinnok) and still retain the original cast.

I actually hope everything stays as it is in the ending. I would like to see things shaken up a bit on the roster rather than the status quo. Just don't screw up the new cast members.

Personally, I'm of the opinion that replacing the existing and loved cast (including SUB-ZERO, probably the second most beloved MK character of all time-that's like not having Ken in a SF game!) with a bunch of random new characters nobody cares about can only lead to disaster.

The fact that they killed off Sub-Zero pretty much tells you all you need to know, though. Those characters are coming back. It's just a matter of how rather than if.

Unless anyone here seriously thinks Sub-Zero will not be appearing in future MK games?

They kill SubZero because reviving him is the only way they can make him totally human again and not a crappy robot.

Doesn't change the fact that if he's coming back, there's no reason for everyone else not to.

I don't get why so many people want the original cast to be replaced by new characters when it didn't exactly turn out great the last time around. History repeats itself, etc.

I wouldn't be so sure of that, his soul in the NR was that of his cyborg form not his human.

I'm actually liking some of the changes.

I also don't think liu died in the end, he was surely unconscious but the fact Raiden teleported him, JC, and Sonya away leads me to believe Liu is alive. Though it'd be funny if Raiden revived Shang Tsugn to preform an experiment like Kabal on him. [0_0 Awesome] Though I bet Liu would end up going crazy and attacking Raiden whenever he has a chance though.

Though I do think some of the original cast need to stay out of the main storyline to allow better popularity to be spread to other characters. Sure Kai/etc. were boring but that's only because they weren't given any treatment like the other already existing characters. It's kind of hard to like a character when they are fleshed out for an older one.

They can stay though, they don't have to be killed off [not even Sheeva] just give some chances to newer characters.

It really depends how they introduce the new characters and how good the underlying game is. Mortal Kombat 3 was a success and they removed Scorpion, Mileena, Kitana, Reptile, Baraka, and Johnny Cage. Granted, they released Ultimate Mortal Kombat later, but we didn't know their plans initially.
 
It's not that anyone wants any of the current cast replaced, its just that if you keep putting out games with the same cast it gets stale and repetitive. I liked that MK only had 26 characters (not counting unlockables and DLC), a lot of fighting game series fall into the trap eventually of wanting to include every character in the series in each new game and it usually ends up a mess. Part of what made Marvel vs Capcom 3 so good is that they trimmed down the roster from the roughly 2 billion characters in MvC 2 and added new ones that ended up being pretty good.

My only concern would be that a lot of the new characters added to the MK series in the console era have been....not so good.... to say the least. I'm willing to give the developers the benefit of the doubt and chalk a lot of that up to the situation at Midway being a distraction most of the time, but one thing that would kill all the enthusiasm MK has regained would be having the next game be full of half baked new guys that no one can get into. There's a lot of wrestling fans on this board, so a good analogy would be that MK can't let themselves be like WWE where they can't create new stars and have to rely on big names from the 90s to keep people interested.
 
Did anyone else find Kung Lao's death like ****** up and thought that should not have happened? I feel Kahn cheated. You can't just snap the neck of the guy who's winning the the tournament? If was sentimental about the game and cried at all it would have been then. I was going......................wtf!? what just happened?...
