IF the leaks are correct then yeah, I'm really good with this, and since Quan Chi will be the 8th character from the 3D era then I'll make good with my promise on post #55 and get a copy of the game.
That said, while I don't take wishlists and "leaks" as confirmation of any kind, if Thiny is confirming it then I trust him.
He gave us the MK9 Fujin voice announcer leak, and he's 1 of the ones (if I'm not mistaken) who was able to datamine / leak all of the names of the characters for MK11, intro lines including KP1 and most of Aftermath and thanks to the intro dialogues we knew that Shang Tsung, Sindel, Nightwolf, Terminator, Joker, Spawn, Fujin and Sheeva would all be playable.
Don't think he'd put his reputation on the line if he didn't think it was true.
So far, all that we have that is 100% concrete is Kenshi and the majority of the MKII roster, 24 total roster slots and 16 kameo slots (of which 8 pertain to klassic characters) and 7 stages.
10 from MKII, Sindel, Smoke & 7 from post-MK3.
Gawddamn, I never thought I'd see the day that that would happen.

It's awesome to see the 3d era characters get some love on the base roster. I was thinking NRS would lock most of that stuff to DLC. No Cyborgs seems weird to me but maybe they're pulling a MKXL and saving all that for season 2 DLC. I'm just happy to see Kenshi back.

That's only 19 of the 25 total spots, though, so there may still be a chance for those 2 to show up.
Reptile, Smoke Ermac, Cyrax and Sektor were all requested for MK11 and so far some of those have been "leaked."
I could easily see the other spots being for Sonya, Kano and Jax (since those 3 don't tend to skip a game and have klassic Fatality kameos) and potentially the 2 cyborgs and at least 1 new character.

I'm not nothing if at the very least someone who keeps their word and I said I'd get a copy on post #55 of this thread if we got 8 characters from the 3D era. If I would have bet someone a free copy of the game for making a bet that 7 or more wouldn't be from the 3D era I would have also DM'ed that person and kept my end of the bet and sent real money. I keep my word. Sure, I specifically mentioned on the main roster, but 7 on the main roster and the fact that we're even getting 8 of them? That shocked the shit out of me, fr. It's like how you were intially hyped up for Frost before we were disappointed with refrigerator Frost in 11.
Post #55:
8 of the 3D era characters on the main roster?
Yeah, sure. That's horseshit based off of that alone.
I will go against everything I said about waiting for a price drop and get this game day-1 if that happens, but I don't see me doing that.
Again, SO FAR all that we have that is 100% concrete is Kenshi and the majority of the MKII roster, 24 total roster slots and 16 kameo slots (of which 8 pertain to klassic characters) and 7 stages.
Still plenty of time for NRS to fuck something up, but if I'm being honest......Quan Chi, Kenshi, Havik, Reiko, Nitara, Li Mei, Tanya and Ashrah coming back is more characters from the 3D era than I ever imagined coming back at all in 1 game.
I'm still guessing the story will be dogshit, though.

Well at least I am safe. For me to even consider buying it, they would have to redo entire game at this point.

Ed Boon said that the Kameo figthers are not always canon to the game's story. So we could see someone like Shao Kahn come back as a cameo.

My guess is Havik. Dude’s like a walking Fatality. Lol

I've seen that take, and I can see it, but the tweet caption itself 100% screams Hotaru to me
I've seen some people try to take it as Liu Kang is a tyrant, but his intro with Sub Zero kinda deconfirms that when Sub says "Earthrealm isn't yours to rule!" and Liu replies with "Nor was it ever, Bi Han"

While yes, the movement in MK1 isn't nearly as fast as MK9, that is Reptile bro LMAO! It's his special move that gives him crazy mobility.
I hope so. I don't see Hotaru being in but I really hope he is. He's under rated and constantly shit on by people.

Ashrah? Nitara? Reiko? Li Mei? Havik? Yes! If the leak is legit, I'll be extremely happy. The 3D era characters literally have not made playable appearance in over almost 20 years since Armageddon. We have a lot of empathy for the 3D era fans who've been waiting since Armageddon to see their favorites re-imaged in 2D. All I was satisfied with was that characters from MK4 (Tanya, Quan Chi, Shinnok and Fujin) and Deadly Alliance (Kenshi, Bo' Rai Cho and Frost) actually got a chance to be playable in the NRS era. I really loved the new redesigned for Fujin, Sareena, Li Mei and Frost in the MKX story mode and I was disappointed that they were NPC instead of playable. I know Tremor was a 3D era character in MK: Special Forces as Sub-boss and he first debut as playable for DLC. I was just glad to see that Fujin and Frost have been playable in MK11, but MK11 is not my favorite MK game, it was slower and stupid new mechanics. So glad I never bought 11 because NRS kept bringing the same MK1-MK3 characters again for DLC that were already playable in MK9 and it was starting to get boring. MKX and MK9 DLCs had the rumored/unpopular/canceled MK characters like Skarlet, Tremor and Trilborg, which MK11 didn't. I skipped it in almost 4 years.
Kenshi again? There are more 3D era characters with tons of potential than Kenshi. Sonya, Kano and Jax are not playable? Please let not them be playable. Just keep them as Kameos. MK2 and Deception were the best MK games in franchise to get a million at the time, it didn't have Sonya, Jax and Kano.

You know MK9 Reptile is one of the slowest chars in the game?.... Which speaks volumes about how fast the game is.
As I said, that's like half of the speed that's possible.
Even something like this, which I consider pretty average, is miles ahead from what we've seen in 1. Just look how fast Kano can move with block dash.

Reptile has the slowest dash in the game, his command dash tho is what makes him the fastest. It isn't even close lol. MK9 is def faster than 1, but using Reptile as the example is hella unfair

....No, he's a slow character.
Very slow normals, slow projectiles, dash is unsafe and whiffs a lot, no armor and doesn't cover the entire screen. Only people who barely played as him would tell you he's "the fastest". Meanwhile there are characters that cover the entire screen instantly with moves that completely ignore projectiles, are safe, AA's, setup offense, combo, and etc. His walk speed is also bad.
Smoke, Cyrax, Kung Lao, Sonya, Kabal, Mileena, Sektor, Raiden... they easily are much faster than Reptile. Majority of characters are faster than him, simply because they have faster normals and safer ways to get in. You won't be dashing into projectiles, you can get hit by normals or even throws. Plus as I said, dash is very vulnerable and punishable. Even when you block, with online lag, it's -15, grounded with no janky weird hitbox. Skarlet's Teleport for comparison, is -11 or something like that, with a silly hitbox.
I also thought Reptile was FaStEsT. Then I've played the game more, and probably the best Reptile player has told me he's a slow character.

Bruv stop lmao. I've used Reptile in 9, and he's still my main in X. You are downplaying like a MF lmaooo. His dash is completely unreactable, you need to space it properly, yeah of course, but it doesn't change the fact that he has nearly 0 recovery on it. He can act of it almost instantly, letting you fly across the screen and start your shenanigans.
"Its unsafe" space it properly
"It whiffs a lot" no shit, you're supposed to whiff it
"No armor" that would literally make it best flash parry in the game lmao, it HELLA doesn't need armor
"Doesn't cover the entire screen" Should it? Like I'm seriously asking if you think the move that nobody at all can see coming, should fly across the entire screen in less than half of a second.
Is Reptile god tier in MK9? Not at all when the super Tiers exist. But he's competent and FAR from slow.

Yeah just by reading this I can tell you have 0 clue what you're typing. Stick with MKX... or well... the upcoming MK1.
Nowhere did I say he needs armor on dash. You also completely ignore the fact that they are much faster characters by pure frame data. As for "DoWnPlAyInG", you can't downplay a character that's mid tier aka as average as it can get.
"Dash is completely unreactable". Sure bro...LOL. Wait until you see people NJP/Deep kick punishing it... ONLINE. You also completely ignore that it's -15 on block, leaving him standing with no weird hitbox. Even ex-dash is reactable. Mind blowing, right?
"Nearly 0 recovery" lots of moves have mostly 0 recovery. Kitana's ass out is safe as soon as she lands for example. Smoke's teleport is basically safe when done in the air or if you duck it. Cyrax tele is safe. Even Sheeva's stomp has basically 0 recovery. Do you need more?...
"WHY SHOULD IT FLY ACROSS THE SCREEN?!?!". Never said it should, I said it doesn't. There are plenty of moves however that do.... while being safe and/or armored. And lead to kombo. And AA. And setup pressure. Are you getting this?...
I'm not even sure why this turned into a Reptile conversation. In any case, I know a godlike Reptile player, he taught me a lot, and even he said Reptile's slow. That's because he is...
The point is that MK9 is a crazy fast game, so when someone says "MK1 plays just like MK9!!"... it's just bonkers. They will have to speed it up quite a bit for that to be valid.
