i actually think NRS killed few characters this time (3 deaths and half on-screen)
while in MK 9 we had like more than 10

Fukking ridiculous. How do you kill off an entire "race" in your series? Making it so that if you ever want to bring them back you need some ridiculous ass reason to do so.
Best possible case scenario, Cyrax still escapes and is still evil. He carries on in Sektor's stead and creates the Tekunin. Just as Sektor did in the old timeline. Pipedream, I know.

I'll just do the same thing I've been doing since MK
A... hope for Reiko.First MK I played was MK4 so I didn't really appreciate the non-inclusion of all the post-MK3 characters just because people didn't like them.Nobody ever liked Stryker, and he was in MK9.Now there are a lot of Reiko fans and he isn't in MKX...because logic.

At this point, roster guesses mean jack shit. Nobody could have predicted MKX's roster.

We're talking about pre-MK9.
Think about it, VERY little people died in MK1-MKD, while in MK9 and MKX more people died than all in MK1-MKD combined and then some.

Armageddon happened because of their unwillingness to kill off characters...guess they ain't making that mistake again.The roster just keeps getting smaller and smaller.
At least progression happened in the 3D era.Now we get smaller rosters each game.

I believe Sub, Scorp, Raiden, Liu and Kitana are the only trilogy shoe-ins, mostly for story reasons. I can see Kano, Johnny, Sonya, Jax, Kung Lao, Reptile, Ermac and Kenshi sitting MK11 out if NRS wants them to. Most, if not all, newbies will return. Definitely the four kids and Kotal.
Bigger budget per character, so yeah. At least it means better characters. I'll take quality over quantity (only to a certain extent, of course).

I have a very strong hunch that the next game will resolve around Kitana and Liu Kang invading Edenia to merge it,
I can easily see Tanya and Rain joining Kitana's side for the destruction of Edenia, Or an alternate idea, Tanya and Rain fighting for Edenia to be freed from the netherrealm.
Which would make Tanya and Rain and other Edenian characters prime characters for the next game, and being almost as important as Johnny and Sonya were in MKX.
Armageddon didn't happen for that, Armageddon happened because Midway literally went bankrupt, and it was their attempt at a final MK game before WB swooped in and saved the day.
Yeah, I think MKX was actually pretty rushed rosterwise. It seriously seems like the likes of Tanya, Fujin, Sareena, Rain, and other NPCs were supposed to be in the game on the roster.
yeah but should liu has somebody he trust like kung lao as his right hand man

pre-MK9 i remeber that
bi han died during MK1 while goro was supposed killed
mileena died during MK2 while kintaro was also supposed killed
johnny cage died during MK3 and sheeva, kano, motaro were supposed killed
Kitana, sonya, johnny (again), liu kang, kung lao, hsu hao, frost all died during the ps2 era
not counting armagedonn deaths.
the thing is that deaths are now shown on-screen and mkX took the causalities to another level

Mortal Kombat is ripping a page out of The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones' books. And I love it. No character should be safe... Even if NRS is STILL clinging on to a few characters.

Those characters were almost all revived, and I wouldn't count double deaths on the same person.
Barely 2 characters were revived for MKX.

Yeah, but unlike those series, only evil characters died in MKX and none of the deaths were unpredictable in the least. I fully expected for Sektor, Mileena, Quan Chi and Shinnok to die in this game. Baraka is the only one that I didn't expect, but it's not that surprising.
MK9 was more like those shows. Lots of surprising good guy deaths. MKX is safe by comparison.

I got through chapter 5, any help finding past there would be appreciated.
For all the weird character choices, especially as far as playables vs. non playables go, the writing is surprisingly strong. Even if this game is ultimately not very impactful on the greater scheme of things, this is maybe the best written MK thing ever, so far.
I think Variations are basically the fundamental problem with the roster. I don't think anybody really asked for them, and ultimately there are obviously some characters in the story who could have been included on the roster, if some of that time and energy were spent on them.

No.

I'd much rather have 25 characters with 3 variations each than 30 characters with none.
Variations make this game, IMO. They add so much. Multiple ways to play the same character, more chances at your character having a great set of tools, more interesting mirror matches, making old characters fresh again by stretching them thin from a creative and design standpoint... the list goes on.
