Roster Speculation

Cryo said:
Indeed he does, but his moveset can be totally changed, there's much stuff you can do with wind.

His tornado was a stunning move, it can be replaced by a move in which he throws wind with dust to the oppontent's face or a move in which he makes him spin rapidly with a hurricane.

Its not that thinking up a few different moves is the challenge. Its that thinking up three variations seems difficult. I have a feeling that he would come out a lot like Reptile. A standard move set with one move each separating the variations.

As far as the starting roster, the new select screen could be the final one. It has a good design, you can see the question mark for the unlockable player, that's in the middle. Then we'll have 24 for starting roster and Goro as pre-order/DLC. Maybe it's a question mark if you didn't pre-order.

I think the question mark could be to get a random fighter rather than the unlockable, perhaps the Goro slot is where you see unlockables and the DLC fighters later on

Yeah, I said this.

Rain, Nightwolf, and Raiden use Lightning.
Liu Kang, Shang Tsung, and Scorpion all use Fire.
Jax and Tremor use Earth.

So obviously multiple characters using the same element is nothing new.

Good point. However, for what its worth, MK9 had to group all of these characters in one game for a reason. They don't need to do the same in MKX.

Look I'm not saying Fujin is out. Everyone seems to be misinterpreting me on that front. I'm just saying these characters have wind/tornado moves. Am I wrong? People can take it however they wish. Personally, it causes me to raise an eyebrow. We'll see soon.

imho it was a sneaky way to deconfirm him rather than a joke. with a revamp though he can be one of the post mk3 chars that can become great so hopefully they do that in the next game or have him as DLC

you would have 25 as starting 26 with goro and the question for unokalbe is would equal 27 with goro 26 without goro.

Not directly.

Again, I'm not saying that deconfirms Fujin, because I believe they are creative enough to come up with more wind stuff, but it wouldn't be a reach to think that his chances are a little lower than they would be if Kung and Kitana didn't have these moves.

Even though you're "not deconfirming him," you are saying that his chances are lower which is a partial deconfirmation, so you can't blame people for misunderstanding you.

When they were about to deconfirm Jade, one of the guys said "Havik," in a joking manner. Tyler got a bit nervous and said something along the lines of "we're not going to talk about that."

I don't know. The way that they reacted makes me feel like he still has a chance.

Havik has no place in MKX story. Story is centred in Earthrrealm, Netherrealm and Outworld, if you add Chaosrrealm you have to add Orderrealm aswell it would be too much and it wouldn't fit the story because those realms have nothing going on in the actual conflict. Perhaps in a future game.

If Noob Saibot's MK9 ending ends up being canonical, then yes, Havik does have a place in the story.
Just saying.
Havik can't 100% be ruled out just yet.

I agree that it doesn't belong, but only because it would throw the focus off.

However, it does not necessarily need Orderrealm to be interesting. Chaosrealm never interacted with Orderrealm in MK Deception.

I've said it before and will repeat myself. this isn't about them not wanting to add more realms to the mix in case they'll mess it up. this is as it seems a game with MK1-3 choices so that the same freaking fans are happy again, cause you know, they didn't have a chance to use Kung Lao in a freaking billion MK games already. the game looks great, I will support it, play the crap out of it, buy collector's even if my finances allow me to do so but this constant sonya-jax-kung lao shit needs to stop, those fans were pleased for countless games and it's not fair for others such as myself who support Rain or others who support Tanya or others who support Havik and generally, all the characters with LOTS of potential to be developed but keep getting the shaft. hopefully the next game won't have the second cousin of Liu Kang's daughter to feature but instead please the fans that were starved all these years

We don't know what the story of the game is. For all we know it could be leading straight into Armageddon, which is the end act of the game, in which case he's a character that could have been wanting Armageddon.

What do we really know about the story at his present time other then that it will not be centered around the Neatherealm invasion?
 
As I said it before... the tower in MK9 was not canon, remember Cyber Reptile, MKX the tower shouldn't be any different.
 
Fujin is a gonner, they did so many things with the other characters like making Ermac float, Kitana having some whirlwind projectiles and Kung Lao being able to turn into a whirlwind...

Leaves little hope for Fujin, or he will be another move-sharing machine which I don't hope...

Reiko, Tanya and Havik are my best hopes now... And they did this thing with Havik which I didn't like...

Lawl @ people saying Havik doesn't fit into the story... Like you people know what the story is actually all about.

We have a decent idea, to be fair. It seems to be centered on these three events, based on the idea of how the roster looks:
-Netherrealm War / Shinnok invading Earthrealm and Outworld
-Outworld Civil War / Kotal's rule
-A new unforseen threat emerging (presumably it will be dealt with by the descendants)

Havik can definitely participate as an agent of chaos, but the Chaosrealm won't have such a major role in the proceedings if it's just him.
