I think you're probably right on that. But I also feel like a lot of these offspring aren't going to replace their parents. I know Cassie may be the exception, and probably because she was the first offspring to be revealed of two iconic characters, but who says all of the offspring have to have their parents abilities? Why cant they have their own? Why not have Kenshi and Takeda, but have Takeda develop his own skills? That makes the roster a little more difficult to predict to me.

Makes sense. I didn't really play Injustice so I have no examples from that, however...

Fujin because they already have work history for him from MK9. (Voice Leak)

Tanya because she JUST missed the DLC slot for MK9. (Ed's sister's name + chosen over Havik and Bo' Rai Cho.)

Shinnok. I'm banking on him being one of the "surprise"/unlockable characters like Cyber-Sub or Quan Chi. I also have a feeling NRS might be especially excited about his revamp. So they may just keep that as a surprise until the 14th.

Maybe we will have 28 at the start and 8 DLC it seems the most realistic to me. That would be a total of 36 characters altogether. It also will be 108 variations.

Thought of another example while I was away; Kano/Ermac/Superman with the eye laser shit and the flight.

Jax will have Superman's dashpunches

yeah it looks like ermac adopted hawkgirls flight ability and reptile has flashs ability to slow down time.

Yeah, I kind of saw a lot of this coming when D'vorah used Sinestro's animation for her legs-uppercut move. I wouldn't have minded it so much if they hadn't given Flash's speed ability to Reptile; it doesn't make much sense for Reptile's enhanced senses to speed up the laws of physics when he's jumping around. It would have worked better for Kabal, but that would've been a more blatant copy job.

I imagine that Goro will have Doomsday's "unstoppable" buff in some fashion.

I'm not sure if there is much we can do to guess any new characters from the Injustice roster, though. The "big brute grappler" archetype is already accounted for with Ferra/Torr and probably Goro, and the shooters are there with the possibility of Erron Black and BowJob. The only other distinctive Injustice playstyle that would really work in MKX is Martian Manhunter's stretchy attacks, and if they're not bringing back Mavado then it would be hard to predict what kind of character could bring that.

I imagine a few more individual moves or special mechanics will carry over, but nothing much that can define a whole character.

Trolls incoming.

Anything similar to what reiko would do from injustice?

I could see Havik as a stretcher but chances seem to be looking slim for him at the moment.

YOU'RE SO RIGHT!!!

MKX IS A COPY OF INJUSTICE: GODS AMONG US

Raiden/Shazam (BOTH USE LIGHTNING)
Cassie/Deathstroke (BOTH USE GUNS)
Kano/Cyborg (BOTH HAVE ROBOT PARTS)
Ferra-Torr/Solomon Grundy/Bane/Doomsday (ALL ARE BIG BRUTES)
Sub-Zero/Killer Frost (BOTH USE ICE)
Reptile/Flash (BOTH USE "SLOW MOTION" TECHNIQUE)
Ermac/Martian Manhunter (BOTH USE TELEKINESIS)
Scorpion/Injustice Scorpion (BOTH USE SPEAR)
Kitana/Wonder Woman (BOTH HAVE BIG TITTIES)
Quan-Chi/Green Lantern (BOTH USE GREEN MAGIC)

THIS IS JUST A SET-UP FOR MKvDCU2!!!!

Martian Manhunter's teleport but with a throw, but other than that I have no idea.

Kotal Kahn does do a Solomon Grundy-esque chain throw buff feature, so I see where you're coming from.
