Roster Speculation

I doubt we'll see many returning from the MK4-MKD era. Tanya is a given, so is Fujin, Li Mei. No Tsu Hao, Drahmin, Dairou, Darrius, Blaze, Ashrah, Jarek-perhaps in cameos. Taven and Daegon might be possible. Shujinko I think may also show up. Onaga is likely to rear his ugly head.

As for "old characters"- The surviving Earthrealmers except Raiden are obviously being phased out for newer versions (i.e ripoffs), Scorps and SubZ are definitely staying, Kitana and Mileena will hopefully stay in the series. Smoke might make it, but not in human form. Nightwolf is likely gone. Sindel is likely gone while Rain just may have his day in the sun with MKX.

At this point, everything is up in the air.

The problem is that Tarkatan will act like a normal poster one day and then quickly change back into troll mode another day. I can't keep up. Sigh.

My name is Ricochetmatt... And I have a problem.

Correction, if you agree with him then he becomes a normal poster.
 
Last night I had a dream of Tanya being in MKX, so expect her. And FYI she actually looked good, unlike her crappy and annoying version from MK4.

I think from MK4 Shinnok, Reiko, Tanya & Fujin all have a chance to appear. From MKDA & MKD I think only Li Mei, Bo Rai Cho, Havik & Hotaru are likely to appear, I think Ed Boon wants to distance the MK brand from these games and rather create something new. So even 8 characters from these 3 games would be quite a lot considering!
 
I doubt Li mei will make it in. Since her character motive was to take down the deadly alliance, and they never formed until after MK4, and the fact that shang's soul was transferred to Sindel who died.. So there's no possible way unless they give her a new backstory.

I can't see Li Mei being in MKX either. Then again, her character design was okay and decent compared to other post MK3 characters. So NRS might just take all the "decent" characters and scrap the rest.

Sounds fine to me.

Except for maybe 7 characters from the post-MK3 era, the rest of the characters I either didn't care about or just flat-out hated for being clones / copy-paste or knock-off characters.

I agree, because out of all the post-mk3 era, only a few of them had decent back stories and had potential to move the canon story plot.

I'm predicting Raiden and a new character, but I'm praying for Mileena to make a comeback.

I'm hoping that either Raiden, Liu Kang, Sonya or Johnny are revealed, so that we can rule it out and stop the speculation on 1 of those 4 characters.
 
I don't think they'll show him yet, either, but if they do it's 1 more MK9 returning character that we can cross off of the list.

I wouldn't doubt her inclusion just yet.

Boon outright denied some characters like Drahmin, Mavado, and he said Ashrah had an 11% chance of making it. That tells me they're not high on his priority list.

He did say Li mei or may not be in though. That tells me that she's at least being thought about.

I personally hope so because out of the 3D era characters she, Kenshi, and Bo Rai Cho were probably the best developed. Li Mei deserves another chance.
 
You think that Li Mei had more potential than Ashrah? Come on...

Li Mei had no development at all besides her 180 heel turn in her deception ending, not saying that I don't want her back but she'd need a serious rehaul of character.

I actually liked Ashrah's story in MK:D and liked it even more when they hinted that the Kriss had some sort of hold over her in MK:A.
 
Bo rai cho actually was just silly and kinda ruined the mood of mk for me...didn't he have a fart move or something wtf??i hope they keep him out..
