He affirmed bow guy was kung Jin, that's not a simple guess, and he has guessed every new reveal.... That's enough to count that as true... I mean what else do you want? That he would show an identification of nrs? C'mon it's really clear now
I've said it before and I'll say it again: what prove that list right or wrong are not the characters on the list, but the characters that are NOT on it. Every character on the list is a safe guess; hell,
I predicted the exact list a month before the list appeared (just switch Fujin/Shinnok). Did I leak the roster too? Kung Jin as bow man could have bee a lucky guess/assumption. The rest of his choices are based on smart info-gathering and likelihood, same stuff me and many others applied to our prediction lists. We won't know if he was right or wrong until we see for sure that the final number of characters is 24, because if it's any more, or any less, that list is kaput. And even if it's correct, that doesn't mean he leaked it. It could just mean his guess was right; we'll probably never know. I don't consider it a leak because there was nothing concrete behind it (like a screenshot).
That's not to say the list isn't likely, because it is VERY likely. I personally believe that's what we're getting. But it's not confirmed by any means.
How are Fujin and Reiko not being on the roster considered predictable?
Predicting characters like Sonya, Johnny and Jax isn't hard to do, considering that their children are in, but saying that no other post-MK3 characters aside from Quan Chi, Shinnok and Reiko are in is a pretty ballzy guess, and sounds more along the lines of a "leaked" roster more than anything else.
I disagree heavily. I for one stopped expecting any decent amount of 3D characters after the Kitana reveal. Kung Lao + Kitana one-two punch told me that too many MK9 characters were getting jammed into a 24-character roster for there to be any more than 0-1 3D-era characters. My guess was Fujin. If the list is true, I was wrong, but I would never guess for more than 1 3D, because that would come at the expense of a character with much higher chances at the time (Johnny, Sonya, Liu, Jax, Mileena, Erron, Takeda, Jacqui, Kung Jin).
To be fair, you predicted the roster count at 28 or something, and if we do get more than 24, the rest is very likely to be comprised of mostly MK4 characters. But I personally really doubt we're getting more than 24, sadly.
