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.

While I agree with you on Jax, Sonya and Kano and those sitting out a game, when it comes to Kenshi I disagree.
Having him and potentially others like Ashrah, Havik, Reiko, Li Mei, Nitara and Tanya on the main roster and potentially Quan Chi as DLC is great when a majority of those have not been playable since Armageddon.

Quan Chi and Kenshi also skipped MK11, so I welcome their return.
 
The only kharacters missing from the roster is sareena and kotal kahn but other than that I, if thats really the roster than I promise I will stop bitching @tleast until the game comes out.

If that roster is true, sure does suck to be a Cyborg enjoyer for the last fuckin 8 years.

I imagine its because they have a hard time writing them into the story. Even after MK3 they kinda just fucked off for years. Cyrax was just a tool for Special Forces/Nitara, Smoke a tool for Noob, Sektor was the only one who really did anything, but it was at the ass end of the timeline and they took that away from him lol.

There's still *some* hope, when Sub Zero clashes with Liu Kang Sub mentions "I had no knowledge of Shang Tsung's experiments!"
There's a chance Shang is the cause of the "cyber initiative" over the Lin Kuei directly.

Yeah that's definitely a possibility. But with MK1, they could write them into the story much easier. At least a kameo would be better than nothing at this point.

They could just, you know, write new stories for the cyborgs to do stuff. It's not that hard.

They could also just exist in this time but with their human skins as default this time around, and the cyber skins could be an 2nd option, like what they did with MK9 but just the other way around.
The cyber skin doesn’t have to be canon and can be there as an option. Really wouldn’t be that hard for them to do if they did it before.

That's the only thing that would disappoint me if the leak ends up being legit(well aside from Sareena once again being omitted). Especially considering they were in MK11's story mode only as characters that you fought. And while they were in MKX, they were just variations of Triborg which was a way for NRS to include all the cyborgs without having to come up with variations for all of them. And seeing as how they seem to be getting rid of variations, I'd like for Cyrax and Sektor to be in separate slots with their own fatalities and brutalities.

There's the possibility of them as well as Sareena being DLC, but I don't wanna get my hopes up.

That'd be a good middle ground.
I'd really like to see how Bi Han would deal with the cyber initiative if he never died to scorpion.

And Tundra. What about him? Also, it appears that Bi Han never killed Scorpion. So it appears that Mk Mythologies never happened in this timeline. So, does this mean that Shinnok does not exist?

Tundra could be the return of Cyber Sub Zero... or perhaps he's the one that gets turned into Noob this time?

I don't think Shinnok or Cetrion can return since they are the children of Kronika according to MK11 and she no longer exists.
Not that continuity means much to NRS at this point.
 
^ They change voice actors all the time.... just like the faces... and moves... and lore... and costumes...

That's an underestatement of the century.
Let's not forget that Kronika is a Titan, that is stronger, than Elder Gods. Elder Gods, who have defeated and managed to seal One Being, whose existence and power is so immense, that once it was defeated, it shaped all of the reality. Reality literally considered to be One Being's dreams, meaning that if a strong enough fart happened during One Being sleep, he would wake up and entire reality would vanish instantly. And Kronika is stronger, than that. The same Kronika that got bitch slapped by a Mortal fused with a God... while she was wearing, that power amplifying crown of hers, that made her even stronger.
Let's not forget that writers in NRS are fucking idiots.

All of this is just "headcannon".

Fighting games in general are not particularly known to be consistent when it comes to feats anyways.

Would be about damn time, they started paying more attention to that. Visuals get upgraded, gameplay gets upgraded (to some degree), but writing and world building is still where it was since the dawn of fighting games.
