Either Kitana or Mileena will probably be in, if not both. I do think Jade's chances to be in are quite slim though... sadly.

You're reaching, and assuming a lot.

Fact is, we really have no idea who else is going to be in the game. The seven originals is still just a rumor at this point.

Relax and be patient.

I'd be extremely upset if any of those duds make it in and not Mileena or Kitana.

Calm down.

I think there is actually a pretty good shot of Mileena making it in. If the rumor that there are 8 characters from the MK Trilogy cast returning is true, and Sub-Zero IS a descendant rather than Kuai or Bi-Han returning that means there are two other slots open for returning MKT characters in addition to Raiden, Scorpion, Kano, Liu Kang, Johnny Cage and Sonya. I'm thinking that the two most likely candidates for those other spots are probably Ermac and Mileena.

Nah, Jade and Kitana are the ones who should stay dead. At least with Liu you could get some interesting potential plot points...

>>> Assuming KItana, MIleena and Jade aren't going to be in the game

And so what if Liu, Cage, Sonya, and Kano are all in the game? They're all popular characters, interesting in their own right, and all play very uniquely. Seeing how the most "classic" or "iconic" characters are in, i can't see Kitana missing this game either, and surely they'll find a way to revive her.

Mileena on the other hand, is a little more "disposable", but who knows, even if she misses MKX they'll surely have her back by MK11

Ill enjoy this game no.matter who doesn't make it in cuz it looks awesome

I think either Kitana or Mileena or both have pretty good chances to be in depending on the story. Even Jade if they intend to bring mysterious woman into the picture in MKX and also choose to have Jade be involved in that (probably not like in her ending but something else perhaps).

It was said that the roster should be more than the E3 build when it first ships, near 30, so there's still room for returning kombatants to make the cut and we'll see at least one of the female ninjas I'm guessing.

I truly, truly doubt they've gotten "rid" of three characters based on two confirmed and three speculated to return characters being announced at once.



And I don't see how Jade, Mileena and Kitana are more important than Kano. Every character serves this game in some way. Granted, Kano can be a bit of a bland, but he definitely serves a good purpose. If it wasn't for him, Sonya wouldn't be involved in this mess.



Why?




He's the Champion of Mortal Kombat, that kinda plays a huge part in his character.




Except they've been doing that for the last twenty years. Nothing has changed.



Because they're popular. Popular characters do tend to get more show time than others. That's not to say Kitana, Jade, and Mileena aren't popular. They are.



What in the world is this supposed to mean? There's not one person I've seen on any website that states they don't want more females thrown in. Please don't start bullshitting when there's no need for it all because you're angry.



So because one character who seems to be pretty much confirmed and one speculated character announced to be in means that there's a chance more ninja-like characters will be added? Okay, because that makes a whole lot of sense.



It's not pointless to throw in characters that won't make the initial roster as DLC. Basing that you think five characters are all going to take your favorites' spot with nothing but one magazine mentioning that they're in shouldn't mean it's an automatic break for you. There's plenty of time for reveals, and I hardly doubt all three will not make some sort of appearance in this game. Don't jump the wagon just yet based on one magazine. You have GamesCon, and the rest of this year as well as how many months after in 2015 for announcements from Netherrealm Studios. This is like the second game convention Mortal Kombat X will have something, it's also the second time we'll be receiving actual news from the developers. So no one needs to get their panties in a bunch over this. Nothing is indicating certain characters will be dropped because of this.

>>>Thinks Liu Kang should stay dead

>>>Wants Kitana and Jade to be revived

Mess

I've got this feeling that the 7 original characters will be in MKX in one way or another.

Confirmed

Sub-Zero
Scorpion
Raiden
Kano (looks legit).

That leaves 3

Johnny
Liu
Sonya (might be killed off by Kano in storymode).

But didn't you go positively apoplectic when the same magazine said Kotal and Shao Kahn were related? And I'm definitely not trying to be snarky.

Yeah, yeah I did (and normally I don't do such a thing). But what I was mostly referring in that statement is not jumping to conclusions that characters won't be in the game because of other characters' reveals.

Like I don't get how five of these characters holds the fate of three characters that really has nothing to do with one another. That's where I was mostly going with.

Got it.

....

I think the rumor about six returning characters from MK9 has officially gone to shit. Which is good because that means we wouldn't be getting 14 new characters.

Yes, because a freaking monstrous clone is far more worse than a couple of boring humans that can fit in Tekken games.

.

It would have to, especially since Quan Chi will be in it. And Boon also said we'd be getting another ninja which i'd hope would be a returning ninja and not a newly created one. So those two plus Raiden, Sub-Zero, Scorpion, and Kano are already six. Plus Boon has been on record for saying just because one character is in(let's say Cassie) doesn't mean another will be out(Sonya/Cage) so chance is at least one of them is in as well. I'm also assuming Kenshi will be in MKX because he's popular & didn't have time to shine in MK9's story line.

I would hate nothing more than seeing Li Mei into this game.

But one thing can be seen as just as bad.

Spoiling the so far interesting roster with Sonya Bland is the most horrid thing they can do to me.

There are many more way more interesting characters that survived MKX that didn't get annoying children in X that should be there over her freaking corpse (hopefully Kano in means that he killed that boring, bland bimbo)

So Sonya being in would mean, total unhappiness and a waste of character space.
