Roster Speculation

Commander said:
Yup.
Exactly.
Minus the random slot, there were 25 character spots on the last 2 build of the game, and someone from NRS a while ago (I think it was Shaun Himmerick) said that they were putting as many characters onto the MKX roster as could fit before they are done with the game.
Ed Boon and Steve Beran also said that the MKX roster would be close to MK9.
MK9 had 28 main roster slots and 4 DLC characters, so maybe MKX will also have a similar set-up.

At this point I'm hoping for 28 main and 8 DLC (given 2 will be guest).
 
I honestly hope, but believe we will see more dlc then we think. As long as it sells we should be fine, I just hope they don't abandon the game quick like they did injustice (console) and focus on mobile version. Though aren't all the mobile versions under other developers?

Looking at the frequency of Injustice DLC is interesting

April 16th Game releases
3 weeks later Lobo
2 weeks later Batgirl
3 weeks later Scorpion
3 weeks later Zod
4 weeks later M.Manhunter
2 weeks later Zatanna (August 13th)


MK11 released April 19th

9 weeks later Skarlet
2 weeks later Kenshi
2 weeks later Rain
3 weeks later Freddy (9th August)

Definitely looks like Netherealm have learnt to dev DLC characters faster, given they got 2 more out in Injustice than MK11 in the same time period, and started much faster.

Seriously tho, they must make an absolute crapton from each DLC character, so I wonder why they stop after 4 months after the game releases. Most studios/pubs push DLC up to a year later.

If out of the 4m~ sales MK11 got, if Skarlett was dl'd at least 200k times (easy) that's $1m
 
Oh man. I'm only mostly happy with the current roster. I don't know why, but I'm just bothered a bit by it being slightly MK9.5

It's not the end of the world and I think even the old characters look great. But I must confess that I felt that characters like Tanya and Reiko deserved a slot on the roster.
 
I like the roster and if the leak is true. I was hoping Frost could sneak in or as DLC. Looking at the potential DLC fighters. I realize there is no chance in hell she is getting in now.

don't give up hope, they ruined this game enough with three cages and two briggs and two kungs, you might see Frost AND her cousin AND her father if you're lucky enough

He hasn't been wrong, even though anyone could've guesses the characters he did.Maybe it was just a guy who played it safe and got it right, or maybe not.

If we get Liu Kang and Shinnok, he's either really lucky with guesses or legit.

I believe that we are going to get both, no matter if the leak is legit or just a guess.

Shinnok will at least be a boss.The proof is that in the story trailer (when he is sucked in the amulet) you see him and Raiden standing in one of the recently revealed stages. Which means that u have to at least fight him! (If not playable, 100% boss). However I think he is playable cause Shaun said that there is going to be at least 1 MK4 character making the cut (his chances are 99%).

Liu will be in as well. The blood demon comes out from the shaolin monk temple, and I truly believe that Liu has some connection to that.

Many people say that only 5 of the characters from the story mode will be playable, but I disagree. 1 second of screen time doesn't count as a reveal. Erron, will get his own reveal IMO. I believe that cause NRS knew from the beginning that he is an awesome character and they have been teasing him since the comics. Check this out: https://twitter.com/noobde/status/572865977458696192 . Ed never said playable btw.
 
More evil please! I don't even know how many chars we're at now but give us like 3 baddies and i'm happy. Reiko would be nice. I don't care for Tanya somehow but nrs can make any char awesome imo. Such great artwork and lovely animations we have seen thusfar.
I want to sleep and wake up april 14th.
 
They need at least 15 DLC's now to make this game right.

But whatever, the DLC will probably horrible too.

DLC1: SHang Tsung (to complete mk 1)
DLC2/1: Goro, most boring of Shokans
DLC 3: Smoke
DLC 4: Noob Saibot
DLC 5 Sub-Zero Robot or Cyrax
DLC 6: Kabal, the only DLC I probably dig, BUT he will be Special Forces, so he's awe-full too.

And if they do MK4+ DLC it probably be BO Rai Cow and Li Tekken, the two most boring characters of all time.

And I forgot about the two GUEST Characters that get more love than my favorites.
 
I don't understand bringing back all Jax, Sonya, Kenshi and JC. I would like to see more unique characters than the good guy parents and their kids. There are not many bad guys in MKX. BTW, they have a civil war, so they fight more against each other than against the good guys. There are too many humans, though. I hope that some of the parents will only appear in story mode or/and challenge tower, but I doubt it.

I want MK4 characters (Reiko, Fujin, Shinnok and Tanya), but it seems like Jax, SB, JC and Kenshi have taken away their spots.

Some of the parents have to die. It makes the plot more dramatic and serious. I am sick of the "immortal" kombat.
 
Ow, i'm gonna enjoy watching Sonya and Jax die.

But probably Mileena, D'vorah, Ferra/Torr, Baraka, Reptile, Tanya, Reiko, Fujin, Kano, Quan Chi, Havik and Rain are the ones that bite the dust because Boon wants to get rid of the villians.

And unlike the goodguys that died in MK9, these deaths will be permanent for some unexplained reasons (other than Boon who doesn't care for them)

BTW if OttoVonRuthless posts on this forum, I wanna talk to him, he's one of the most annoying creatures my eyes have ever read something from on MKO
