Roster Speculation

If Liu Kang ends up being the final boss of this game, then it's high time for Hornbuckle to win the tournament and become champion of Mortal Kombat. It's gotta be either him, Belokk, or Sheeva. Belokk and Sheeva should make babies.

SCORPION
SUB-ZERO
CASSIE CAGE
D'VORAH
FERRA/TORR
KOTAL KAHN
RAIDEN
KITANA
MILEENA
JADE
TANYA
SKARLET
REPTILE
RAIN
ERMAC
NOOB SAIBOT
SONYA BLADE
KANO
CYRAX
SEKTOR
SMOKE
KABAL
SHEEVA
SAREENA
ASHRAH
NITARA
LI MEI
REIKO
BELOKK
HORNBUCKLE
TREMOR
VAPOR
SYLENCE
QUAN CHI
SHINNOK
 
I hope there's more new characters than old. That's really all I'm going to speculate. I can't really say who I want to come back or not, despite that I have a few that I'd like to see. However, given what we've already been told, I really can't figure out where they'd fit (despite some could make sense being there). So I'm just going to say, "I want more new characters," and that's all I'm going to say. :-)

Kitana too, but I don't think we see her or Jax cause they're dead in the last game.

I hope all the dead characters of the previous game stay dead for at least a whole game.

You know they aren't going to kill off Kung Lao for good.everyone used that guy last game cause he was so good.
 
Based of TRMK's Ed Boon interview, something tells me we will get to see Shujinko, either as a playable character or a cameo, I really hope it is the former, I'd settle for a cameo too of his involvement (or absence) is properly explained in the story.
 
A lot of those portraits are just troll-bait, so I wouldn't take that too seriously when correlating it to the actual roster.

I'm sure MK X will contain it's fair ration of stick figures with water balloons attached.

I'd pissed if the DLC characters were just recycled from MK9

Agreed, I'd be pissed too if MK X DLC was just all MK9 characters.

That being said, I could see a few of them being MK9 dead characters or classic favorites, though.
I'd have no qualms about getting either Johnny, Sonya, Kitana or Kabal via DLC, if it means that it'll free up space on the MK X main roster for more new characters or more post-MK3 characters.
 
My god... the same song all the time, no wonder why fighting games has it so hard to move forward...

Twenty years since I played MK1 for the first time, I don´t give a CRAP about any returning character (even when as everyone I have my favourites), just giveme something NEW. If Boon keeps his word aout a huge ammount of new characters WELL DONE
 
My guess with the roster again...

Due to so many possibilities here is how I believe it should go...

14 new characters (including the woman in Jade's MK9 ending.)

MK9: Liu Kang, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Raiden, Quan Chi, Kano, + 2 from the following... Sektor, Kenshi, Reptile, Rain, Skarlet, Mileena, Ermac, Cyrax, Sonya, and Johnny Cage.

MK4-MKA: Shinnok, Tanya, Havik, Li Mei, + 4 from the following... Reiko, Fujin, Frost, Hotaru, Taven, Daegon, Shujinko, Kai, Bo Rai Cho, Jarek, Kira, Ashrah, Khameleon, Sareena, and Nitara.

Who ever won't make it can be DLC later on.

I never played as him, save for unlocking his ending and alt. My friends never really played as him. The few times I played online I rarely went up against him.

I can definitely see him staying dead. He had very little to do, story-wise and his character was obnoxious. He had one of the better fatalities in the game, but that's all I can really give him.

Uh oh!!!!hopefully it's Johnny lol
 
I would prefer seeing some of the post MK3 characters as opposed to the MK9 cast, it would give us good insight on how much they have learnt thus far and how much they have improved on their creativity.

So you're okay with a SF3-type roster?

You know what REALLY moves fighting games forward?

MONEY! Fan favorite chatacters sell more than "fresh" characters. And if the game doesn't sell, the publisher will just cut their losses. There's a VERY good reason why SF3 didn't have a proper sequel for nearly a decade (which actually turned out to be a prequel).

It is also a safer bet to bring back older characters than create new ones that might be hated, anyway I think it should have a good a new amount of characters but not occupy more than half the roster of it.
