How convenient for them to throw that out now, what character you think was a choice entirely based on his/her role in the story? the revealed choices seem to be based entirely on popularity (not counting new characters since the story was built around them, obviously), imo.

Popularity. Variety. Story needs. Last game. And others I cant remember are some of the factors in roster choices.

I think if found something for Erron Black. In the shot of him in the trailer (the one with Ermac and the army) shows him with some kind of shotgun-thingy on his back. But every other time we see him, he doesn't have it. If you ask me, that gun is a visual difference for a variation, and likely a weapon only featured in that variation. Otherwise, why would they randomly give him a gun in one scene, but not in others?

Because of this, I think he's playable, and one of the five confirmations, the others being Jacqui, Takeda, Kung Jin, and Mileena.

Shadaloo brings up some good points on Erron Black being DLC but...I still think since he's an unknown entity and new character he's going to be included in the primary roster proper. If Erron had more legacy or more of a prominent role in the comic I might feel otherwise but, as it stands, my predictions are:

Confirmed:
  • Jacqui Briggs

  • Takeda

  • Kung Jin


Highly probable:
  • Mileena

  • Erron Black

Mileena is definitely in !
and I just can't understand some people why do you so resist that The One and Only Queen Sindel cannot be in MKX ! Ed Boon himself even just retweeted her back ESPECIALLY !!! and that outfit can be the classic one or somethin' !
Sindel is NOT PLAYABLE.



I don't know... I mean Sindel was only shown briefly. It could be her mk9 outfit with slight changes just like how Kitana's alt outfit is her mk9 outfit with slight changes. That being said, I think everyone that was shown in this trailer has a chance to be in the game. Will they all tho....... doubt it. Out of everyone I feel like Baraka is gonna be absent as playable for some reason. I really hope not... but i never get what i want so um bye sir.

So you are the producer of the game and have decided the main roster on your own!confused

The trouble with Erron being DLC is that he is included in so many story scenarios in this trailer alone that you're pretty likely to have to fight him at least once. He pulls a gun on the whole crew in one scene; he ain't just standing around lookin' pretty. And if he's fightable, his data must be on the disc. If he's not fightable, then it's hard to say why anyone would get excited to play as him if he came out as DLC.

I'm throwing my hat in with the "teaser reveal" theory. Jacqui, Takeda, Kung Jin, Mileena, Shinnok for obvious reveals; Erron, and maybe Johnny and Rain for teasers.

Erron Black will not be DLC. DLC characters will not be a part of the Story Mode. I'ts been stated by the team several times.

That's why I think The Kombat Pack will include Shang Tsung and Shao Kahn. With Iconic Guests Spawn and Predator

I think it's a mistake to think ONLY five new characters shown in this are going to be playable. When Boon said that we were getting five reveals today, I'm not sure he had a quick split-second appearance by Johnny in mind.


1. Shinnok(unlockable) 2. Taketa-Obviously 3. Kung Jin-Obviously 4. Jacui Briggs-Obviously 5. Erron Black-Obviously 6. Mileena-Most Def 7. Rain-NOPE 8. Baraka-Doubtful 9. Sonya- Yeah 10. Johnny Cage- Probably 11. Li Meh- Exactly, Meh 12. Sindel-NOPE

It sounds like you might have missed the part where I agreed that Erron is probably not DLC like some people are suggesting. Which was, like, the whole post.

I'm not so sure, though, that Shang and Shao would be the obvious shoe-ins for Kombat Pack. It would make a little more sense to leave a "parent" or two out of the main roster to keep things balanced, but make them readily available as DLC for the people who really want to see them smack their kids around.

UGH yet another person of seeming authority on another MK board is claiming the JamesMK list is accurate. Well, fuck..... sad There's a guy also claiming Tanya and Tremor are likely gonna be DLC. I have a feeling a shit-storm is brewing.

They're talking about the GameFAQS leak there, though, not any of Fink's. That's what he and the guy claiming Tanya and Tremor are DLC are saying to be true.

Which is also conveniently the list Fink is now saying is correct.
