So its the MKX roster with a few swaps... Not the perfect roster but not the worst either IMO.

Pretty much my thoughts.
Swap out Quan Chi for Skarlet, Ermac for Shang Tsung, Baraka for Reptile and replace Kenshi with Frost as the token MK:DA character, and it's about the same.
Mileena is rumored to be unlockable and there's a chance Jax makes it, so yeah, pretty much MK1 & MKII again, with 9 non-Trilogy characters.
This should have been Fujin's debut game since it's around that 3D era and others have been asking him, but better DLC Fujin than no Fujin. As for the main roster, I would have loved to have seen some more 3D era face aside from just 1, but if MKX is any indicator, they'll all be DLC.
 
[MENTION=4889]BBBLP[/MENTION] i don't think that Kotal looks like Rain. You see that Kotal is green and shirtless and his armguards do not match with the Rain pic. I still think Rain is some how in the game. Ed knows how much fans want him and all the rage after MKX. He is not gonna just tease him again like that. I believe that Rain is taking Shinnok place on the roster as there is no real evidence of shinnok or Jax or Mileena or Even Shang Tsung other while we have a pic of Rain on the main menu. But i can still be wrong and get heartbroken again lol
 
I think at this point it's safe to say that yesterday's leaks will be the extent of the images we get, most likely cuz that all the info they had/ NRS put a stop to who ever the source was. Though based on what other people have said it seems like this leak started after a tester broke NDA which then got spread around to a bunch of people, but most of those people kept quiet about / only talked about it in text most likely out respect to NRS and the safety of the person who leaked. But then I guess the info got to someone who didn't have those sort of qualms and just spilled the beans.

What gets me is how someone is willing to spill the beans and risk losing their job and being black-balled from the industry over a few leaks.
If I was given the dream chance to work for NRS and signed and NDA, yeah you bet your butt you wouldn't ever hear what I was up to on any social media, reddit, forums or other online sites.
With exception to my wife (as I can trust her with anything), I'd be a ghost and you wouldn't hear from Commander until the game came out.
 
I feel the same way, but of course not everybody has the same mindset, I can imagine what happened was the guy wanted to tell one of his friends about it and showed him images to hype them up, but under pretense that it would remain a secret, but then cuz of the internet this info spreads until it gets into the wrong hands, of course this is all theory and I have no real idea how this happened but it seems like a possible scenario to me.
 
On the bright side, the leaks may actually boost up the sales of the game to an extent and depending on what dlc characters will be in the game, that could potentially add up to the sales as well. While it's rather unfortunate that this whole issue occurred, NRS and Ed Boon will be laughing straight to the bank at the end of the day.
 
Guys compare the liu kang pic with the Kotal pic. It is the same exact pose and the same fingers position and same angle. Could this be another skin for liu kang and not Kotal?
 
If there's one thing I'm not really worried about for this game, it's sales, MK historically makes bank with every release, this leak def threw a wrench in the gears, but it's not the first time this has happened and everything will get back on track by the end.
 
On the leaked roster image there are 9 spots left. Do you think it's 25 confirmed (28 plus 6 DLC) making it 34 in total? Would that mean the other three are unlockable Shang, Mileena and Shinnok? Shinnok is rumored to be in as well.

Well, if this is the case then I am not very satisfied, tbh. First of all, there are ALL playable characters from MK1 and MK2 but Reptile is missing. He is probably going to be DLC though.

Second complain - general lack of male ninjas. With Kitana, Mileena, Jade and Skarlet we get more female ninjas than males. I'm glad at least Noob made the cut. No Smoke, no Rain, no Ermac and no Reptile. No cyber ninjas. They won't repeat DLC, so if none of them is going to appear on the main roster, they won't be DLC because of Triborg in MKX. Same for Human Smoke and Rain. Ermac could be DLC.

Third complain: NO freakin' Fujin, AGAIN. Why? He is Raiden's legacy, he has/had so much promise. I am sure he will be DLC if he doesn't magically appear on the main roster, but why isn't he playable from the start? Same for Havik... Two of the best 3D era characters that haven't been playable in this timeline are ignored.


Fourth and biggest complain: Considering all three complains above there are following characters on the main roster:

- Frost: a (now bold) female Sub-Zero clone instead of another interesting females like Sindel, Tanya or even Sareena or Ashrah
- Jacqui AND Jax: This one is pain in the a**. Would rather have none or at least one of them but not both, AGAIN. Give these two slots to someone like Nightwolf or Fujin and Havik and we would have a soild roster. Same thing with the Cages. At least two of them instead of all three again would have been enough.


Yes, I know that there are going to be Kombat Packs with maybe 12 more characters. At this moment such characters like

Reptile, Ermac, Rain, Smoke, Fujin, Havik, Cyrax, Sektor, Sindel, Nightwolf are NOT in the game, making it 10 MK characters. Now comes the overdiscussed guest problem. Right now I am 100% against them because of taking away spots from iconic MK characters. I mentioned 10 fighters with at least 4 of them not being able to be DLC because of guests (if we assume two guests per KP). And it's the developer's fault because of their dumb choices for the main roster.

I don't hate any of the new characters so far. They are not the problem for me, as you can see.

I agree with that. I still don't believe the secret characters. No evidence at all and Shinnok looks so NPC and his head is in one of the stages and his amulet is with Raiden. Mileena would be so annoying if she returned she had her glory in MKX and barely did anything. Her reign as an empress was just a 5 mins cut-scene. I still have hope for Rain even though every thing is against him. As for Jax I don't see them leaving him out for many reasons.
 
Pretty much, a good chunk of what was shown in this leak is the equivalent of snatching snippets of a scripts rough draft and then plastering them online.
 
I'm not even bothered by what we have seen including the portraits as I know this is from an early build of the game just by comparing them to the recent ones. I will wait for the final product before I jump in to any conclusions.
 
Shinnoks head shouldn't disprove him not being in the game as playable. Kano is in the black dragon stage. And yet hes playable

I could see at least 6 of those realistically being DLC if they don't make the main roster cut.
Cyrax and Sektor were in MKX via Triborg, so they likely won't be in and the same might be true for Rain.
Nightwolf could make the cut, but he seems to have a smaller cult following.

Reptile, Ermac, Smoke, Fujin, Havik and Sindel seem to be among the characters that people (in general) are the most vocal about, regardless of whether they make up a majority or not.

I see what you mean, but that said, technically one's alive (Kano), while Shinnok suffered a fate worse than death (beheaded).
At this point I'm not expecting to see a living version of Goro or Moloch after that Jade reveal, as well, even as a sub-boss.
