7. Jax
8. Sonya
9. Stryker
10. Liu Kang

20. Nightwolf
21. Baraka
22. Ermac
23. Quan Chi
24. Sheeva
25. Shang Tsung
26. Sindel

Sounds about right to me. Rain and other DLC characters will be DLC obviously, Kratos will be under the DLC section, and the "red lady" will probably be under someone else's slot. Shao Kahn, Goro and Kintaro are almost certainly unplayable.

I strongly believe THIS is our roster. It gives us every UMK3 character along with a little Quan Chi cameo.

^^^I agree with this guy's list. It makes the most sense compared to all the other lists that include bosses. Hopefully this is our final roster. We'll just have to wait and see.
 
Re: So our starting roster is full?

Shao Kahn might be unlockable (he may either be a really expensive koffin, unlocked in vs. modes after beating Story Mode or beating Arcade Mode on a really high difficulty), but I'm pretty sure that the sub-bosses won't be playable, unlockable or not.

And I wonder, could Raiden be getting a vignette/combo exhibition/fatality trailer like Scorpion/Sub-Zero/Liu Kang/Mileena soon?

Don't forget this dude:

For me it will be awesome if everybody will find that Scorpion and Sub-Zero worked together in past, just like Jax and Sonya did." said Ed Boon about that possibility to create some Tag Team moves "These are the classic couples that maybe hardcore fans will have fun to discover. We will put inside some special moves when Raiden will be with Shao Kahn or Liu Kang... these are the things we would like players will discover during the game

Why would Ed himself just throw that out there so casually? It has to make you think. It could just be a slip up. It could be a confirmation. It could mean sooo much shit.

And I'm pretty sure Raiden will be the next to get a showcase one way or another in a video. They're just procrastinating.
 
Re: So our starting roster is full?

19 characters have been officially announced and seen in game play: 1. Scorpion 2. Sub-Zero 3. Reptile 4. Kitana 5. Mileena 6. Jade 7. Jax 8. Sonya 9. Stryker 10. Liu Kang 11. Kung Lao 12. Cyrax 14. Sektor 15. Noob Saibot 16. Johnny Cage 17. Nightwolf 18. Ermac 19. Sindel.

Now for the remaining slots:

Raiden - Known and a game play leaked image via Hans Lo's twitter. Add just because he hasn't been officially shown in game play.

Shang Tsung - Seen in Liu Kang's vignette and in the background, voice file leak from the website, hinted by Hector and leaked info by Lupinko on twitter.

Baraka - Skull seen in IGN X-ray video, and mentioned in the Australian Classification Board report.

Kabal - Mentioned in the Australian Classification Board report, voice file leak from the website and leaked info by Lupinko on twitter.

Quan Chi - Mentioned in the Australian Classification Board report, voice file leak from the website and leaked info by Lupinko on twitter.

Smoke - Voice file leak from the website.

Sheeva - Info by Lupinko on twitter.

The "Red Lady" - Seen in the background and Info by Lupinko on twitter.

The bosses that are unknown if they are playable or not:

Shao Kahn - Officially announced but no game play shown yet, mentioned in the Australian Classification Board report as having a fatality and voice file believed to be an intro leaked by the website.

Goro - Officially announced but said to be an unplayable boss character for now, X-ray shown and voice file believed to be an intro leaked by the website also info by Lupinko on twitter.

Kintaro - Info by Lupinko on twitter.

Shang Tsung - Believed by some to maybe be an unplayable boss. Magazines have hint that maybe the case but is known to have to costumes ( as young is seen in Liu Kang vignette and old is seen in the background) and this info was also leaked by Lupinko on twitter.

That is the facts as they stand now. There are conflicting reports on the number of slots but seems to be around the 26 slots shown in the select screen from E3.

Hadn't seen anyone post this yet. This is EXACTLY what I've been thinking for a long time as it is the most logical initial roster. If Shao Kahn's playability is indeed true then it is likely that he will be accessible by different means as other users have stated.

LOL FUBIO!!! YOUR SIG XD
But honestly, you should put in text "What wouldn't I do" or something along the lines of that. Regardless though that shit is classic LOL.
 
Re: So our starting roster is full?

I agree FuBiO. Seems they always have a hidden number of boxes that can be accessed of the side of the screen like in MKvsDCU..so shaokahn would be in something like that but i believe shang tsung BOSS or NOT will be on the main roster as U and I have stated :P

Precisely!

Heh, thanks! I actually tried putting something like the ol' Klondike bar query on there but no matter how I rearranged it, it just looked off or too crowded. I finally just decided to go with something classic yet comical with the "Test Your Bite" thing. It'll still be amusing to us who were part of the joke. =P

FTFY buddy.
 
Re: So our starting roster is full?

Oh trust me, it is entirely possible for Shao Kahn to be an unlockable fighter and I'm not even against him being playable in the multiplayer modes. My main point that there is no way he'll be playable in Arcade Mode, and I'm not even sure he'll be playable in Story Mode.

Having said that, I'm looking forward to buying tons of stuff in The Krypt.
 
Re: So our starting roster is full?

I like the fact that Quan Chi is in...

He ties a lot into Scorpion and Noob's character histories, so he adds story potential...
 
Re: So our starting roster is full?

Jade explicitly kicks an opponent into the air and plants her fighting stick into the ground. The opponent falls backwards onto the stick and is explicitly impaled, with the stick protruding from their chest. Jade then explicitly tears her opponent's head off, with bloodspray noted, and explicitly plants it on the stick.

Stryker tasers his opponent and then explicitly shoots their head off with his gun. Blood and gore is noted.

Quan Chi explicitly rips his opponent's leg off, accompanied by copious bloodspray. As they lie on the ground, he explicitly beats them with the severed leg for a prolonged period of time.

Kabal uses long hooks to explicitly pull out an opponent's intestines before explicitly impaling the opponent on two spikes.

Shao Kahn uses his hands to explicitly rip an opponent's body vertically in two.

Baraka explicitly lodges a blade (attached to his wrist) in an opponent's stomach and hoists them above his head. He spins them round and explicitly decapitates and dismembers them, accompanied by copious bloodspray.

Kitana uses her 'folding fan' weapon to explicitly dismember then decapitate her opponent, with copious blood flow noted.


Another interesting piece of information in the ACB's official document is that each character will start with only one fatality available with the ability to unlock up to four. Click here to download the official ACB document from FDMK affiliate Kamidogu.

Warner Bros. has also released an official statement regarding this new development.

Warner Bros.:
The highly anticipated video game Mortal Kombat, published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment (WBIE) in Australia, has been refused classification by the Australian Classification Board and will not release in Australia. We are extremely disappointed that Mortal Kombat, one of the world's oldest and most successful video games franchises, will not be available to mature Australian gamers. WBIE would not market mature content where it is not appropriate for the audience. We understand that not all content is for every audience, but there is an audience for mature gaming content and it would make more sense to have the R18+ classification in Australia. As a member of the iGEA, WBIE is reviewing all options available at this time.

I don't know if anybody has seen this. It confirms some characters like Kabal, Baraka, Quan Chi, which we all knew would be in the game already. It does give mention of Shao Kahn's fatality though. I am expecting 26 characters selectable from the start. I seriously think we have more characters in the initial release, then the 26 provided already. Got this info from FDMK website.
 
Re: So our starting roster is full?

Guys, why would you guys want to play as the red lady? It will be better if she is a sercret kharacter like Reptile in MK1.
 
Mortal Kombat Roster Revealed

Hello everyone! I couldn't help but realize that Quan Chi and Kabal will be in the game, so that makes the full MK roster revealed. Take a look:

_Scorpion
_Sub-Zero
_Mileena
_Kitana
_Jade
_Reptile
_Cyrax
_Sektor
_Johnny Cage
_Baraka
_Sindel
_Kabal
_Quan Chi
_Sonya
_Jax
_Goro
_Shao Kahn
_Liu Kang
_Raiden
_Noob Saibot
_Kano
_Shang Tsung

and around 4 more... (Please excuse me but i was too lazy to complete it) :P

Anyways, I realized that Smoke and Sheeva are not part of the MK roster and I believe there is something wrong. Remember in MK 3 how smoke was a secret character? I think that in Mortal Kombat 9, he will also be considered a secret character that I think we can unlock using a cheat code or completing story mode. As for Sheeva, I also think she would make the roster but also as a secret character...Maybe she would be a Cameo, or maybe once we finish story mode with all characters, we can unlock her just like in Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance with Mokap and Blaze.
