I am having so much fun with Fujin. He is my main now after Scorpion. NRS did such an amazing job with him

That Sub-Zero thing? 8 generations is a pretty good guess, but that actually goes back 5 generations, according to the now defunct MK Mythologies website. Good thing that site is still accessible via web.archive.org, or it would obviously be lost to the sands of time. Of course, I used to remember this by heart, because before Bi-Han and Kuai Liang's names were revealed (and for that matter before Noob Saibot's identity was revealed), I was calling them Sub-Zero V and Sub-Zero VI respectively.
EDIT: Good thing I have a copy of the PS1 version of Mythologies, since I bought a used copy of it at a retro gaming store a few years ago, and it turns out the same text that stated that Bi-Han and Kuai Liang's father was a 4th generation Lin Kuei is in the manual as well (certain details on the website are missing from the manual though, possibly due to space constraints).

(god of fire pic) - In a DLC we need Kōjin and Suijin
Johnny also has a fake surname.

Seems to be based on this older leak.

Here is what I hope...
1. A "Poison Ivy" outfit for Cetrion!
2. Sareena, Li Mei, Khameleon, Nitara, and/or Mileena need to at least make it in the roster as DLC for MK11!!!

Havik and Takeda seem to be the most likely out of those 4 (imo, according to people being vocal about those 2 on the MK reddit as of more recently), but either way, I also don't think they'll do another 4 guests.
As it is, people are also wanting the 7 of the 8 missing Trilogy characters along with Havik and Takeda.
Mileena, Reptile, Ermac, Smoke, Rain, Cyrax and Sektor are the characters that people seem to want in most, and more recently requests for Stryker have shown up on reddit.
- Mileena has had 0 chance of being in ever since Kitana got a variation similar to the MKX Jade Mournful variation and also has her sai (no matter if her stans are willing to accept that or not) and I think that Kitana's Friendship was the final nail in that coffin for MK11.
- Reptile could make it in if they gave him his MK4 Krawl move which replaced his slide.
- Ermac I personally don't think will be in this one as DLC, despite arguments being made for his costume redesign.
- Smoke is one where it could go either way, because his cybernetic counterpart was in MKX, but his human form hasn't been playable since MK9. (Personally, it would feel like a real kick in the balls for me if human Smoke was DLC, because that was [MENTION=3788]squirrelpion[/MENTION]'s main in MK9.
)- As for Rain, I highly doubt that NRS will have him sold twice as DLC, but who knows.
- Cyrax and Sektor have been argued to have Brutality and Gear slots in MK11, despite the fact that their movesets are copy-paste from MKX Triborg, Robocop having throwback MK3 skins for them, and lastly Robocop also having Sektor's Flamethrower and bomb projectiles (similar to Cyrax).
Quan Chi is 1 of the more popular post-MK3 / 3D era characters, so him also being DLC wouldn't surprise me, especially since he's now also responsible for Sindel's death.... because, y'know, he's not already responsible for a ton of other shit in the MK lore. /s
As far as story, yeah, I also don't think there will be more story as Boon even said that Aftermath's story was the epilogue / final conclusion to MK11's story.
We'll see what happens from now until the Game Awards, I guess, but yes, I also think a release window for April 2021 for Injustice 3 is about right, and that's part of the other reason that I didn't think there would be more story stuff after Aftermath.
It seems like Aftermath stuff was done possibly prior to the game being released and taken out to be DLC later on, especially given how it perfectly ties the loose ends left from MK11's story mode regarding Shao Kahn, Sindel, Shang Tsung and the original ending for MK11.
It's a better way for them to end it (imo), without having to have it be another MK9 / MK1 all over again for the next game.

This other leak says that a female guest is coming.

I will believe it until I see it. If we get more DLC, I doubt we will hear anything new for a while because Aftermath recently came out.

So, does this mean that NRS considers Aftermath to be KP2, then?
Why skip forward to KP3 and not mention KP2?
As for Mileena, I seriously doubt it, and it sounds like nothing more than another Mileena stan's wishful thinking.
As for 1 of the MK characters being an unfortunate bystander, is that supposed to mean dead Krypt characters like Goro, Ermac and Kenshi?

Really wish they added people like Shujinko, Ermac, Ashrah to a side storyline happening in the two years between MKX and MK11 during Dark Raiden's term. Maybe even Mileena, because it could focus on Shang Tsung's resurrection or his island, because it's very unusual the way everybody died there, and his comment about them was...suspicious.
Besides, MKX Cassie ending she kills Shujinko (under Dark Raiden's order) mistaken by Shang Tsung, and the latter absorbed Ermac's souls to return, something teased in the game intros (let's remember Aftermath was teased more than once in the intros a year back). Since Shujinko had small relations with Ashrah and Ermac, he could tie them.
Would love Onaga, but he could make a cameo as Damashi and eventually get his plans spoiled by Cassie. Besides, intros also teased Damashi was deceiving Kung Lao, whose revenant could be important too.

Yeah, I also always thought that it was weird as hell how the monks died and Goro died.
Sheeva's intro lines with Jade and Kotal clear things up at least a little bit more in regards to Goro dying at the hands of Kotal.
Maybe after Goro meets up with Daegon in the comics?
That said, Dominic Cianciolo who helped write the MK11 story said that MK11 Shang Tsung is from MK9, between the first and second Tournaments.
https://mobile.twitter.com/domcianciolo/status/1266342734241107969
So, if that's the case, then what the hell was Jacqui's comment about the island dying when Shang Tsung died, if he was actually alive all along and just trapped in the void?
Something doesn't fcking add up / make sense there.
AGAIN, this is why I hate time travel stories when people don't do shit right, because then you end up with all of these plot-holes and things that don't connect.
EDIT -
Jacqui's direct quote from MK11's main story mode: "Guess after Shang Tsung died, this place did, too."
According to Dominic Cianciolo Shang Tsung didn't die, though, because he didn't die in MK9 until AFTER Liu Kang defeats Shao Kahn.
So, Shang Tsung is taken before that and couldn't have been dead during the events of MK11, just locked away in the void by Kronika.

Why are you trying to make sense out of this pile of vomit? By the next game none of this will matter anyway.
And now...for the Ultimate Mortal Kukold:

Because, unfortunately, I DO like to keep up with the lore.
And while it may or may not matter in the next game, I tend to follow stories of the franchises that I like the most.
This is the reason that I also had issues with Dishonored 2 and Death Of The Outsider both retconning / fcking up the redemption arc for 1 of the more interesting characters in the entire series (imo): Daud.
It's not just MK.
Lore for me matters for the games that I get into.
While I can excuse Sindel, Fujin, Sheeva, Shang Tsung and Nightwolf because of "Lol, DLC," when it comes to the main story arc it matters more, to me.
Yeah, I like Aftermath, but it felt pretty stupid (imo) for them to
Spoiler:
I love MK, but the lore inconsistency is just something that's bothered me ever since MK9.

I know, I know. It's just with NRS track record, isn't it pointless to follow the lore now? Just think about it. 3 games over the span of 9 years. Nothing is consistent, plotlines get introduced only to get Shift+Del'd in the next game instantly. Characters get changed completely on a whim. They bring out a comic book which you know by now how it turned out. I mean, how many red flags do you need? Cherry on top, Kittlesen the one who's responsible for this garbage isn't even working on MK anymore.

But wait, it does make sense. Shang Tsung indeed died by Shao Kahn's hands in MK9, that's what Jacqui was referring to. He was at the least absent from his island.
Now, MK11 Shang Tsung is from before this event, and he is the one who has been trapped in the void when the time merger started.
And that's exactly what Dominic said, MK11 Tsung is the one prior his rejuvenation during MKII/MK9. But in the present, he was killed by Shao Kahn.
I still think by the looks of the monks and Goro they are too similar to Shang Tsung's victims. If he had absorbed Ermac and those people, there would be a younger Shang Tsung too. So apparently those people simply...died.

Welp. You can forget your current lore.
AT&T is in 200BIL debt. And they are considering to sell Warner Bros Gaming Division for 4BIL

Well.. if EA will get it. Tarkatan Trash's dream will come true. Annual MK.

Came here to say this. I hope EA, this disgusting group, doesn't buy.
Seriously, MK under EA would be money for everything, and we all know how they handle gaming quality.

I hope they just end it with 11. But now that I think about it...seeing as they just can't get the story right with recent MK games, whoever gets it can hopefully just make it 100% games as a service adding characters, stages, modes, -alities, ect. Atleast we could get some nice gameplay with it at the very least and possibly get everyone including new/side characters in the game. Outside of that, I just hope they reconsider or find another solution.

Those who thought that MK was ruined because of WB will bite their tongues if EA/Activision buy them. Holy shit.

As if WB is any different than the Unholy Trinity over there. This game is proof in the pudding, and you're acting as if when EA comes, it's going to be doom and gloom. Annual MK (one man's trash is another man's treasure Tarkatan_Trash), always online with lootbox microtransactions, one half of the game being behind a paywall with another half being sold as DLC.
That's not too different from MK11, and you're still going to be buying it anyways. The fact that EA has been voted twice as "the worst company in America" and still is doing just fine... Proof is in the pudding :lol:
