Any one and their mother could have guessed that kung Jin was the bow man.

Boon tweeted a pic of an arm with a bow. And from the list of known characters at the time (yes.. kung Jin was a known name at the time even before the story trailer) kung Jin was the most logical for the bow.


Then why didn't people guess it? Why only that guy? when hindsight is 20/20 it's easy to say that.


Hindsight is 20/20 but it is not too far of a stretch to imagine someone could have guessed that list from the information that was around at the time.

Sonya, cage, and jax was already speculated from magazines and pretty much known to be in.

Kenshi, and shinnok are easy guesses. And the 4 little kids were all given from either comics or from the casting call. (As was Erron black). Then boon tweets an arm with a bow and the only logical person left for that would be kung jin.


Nothing was too outstanding from the leaked list

All my point is, is that NRS is a developer that I could see purposefully revealing information based off a false list just to mess with people. It isn't that hard to imagine them doing that.

I'm happy either way it falls, mkx is going to be epic.

But this is the first time I can remember that NRS themselves have officially released the entire roster.

That original list was JamessMK. Someone took it several days later from his ask.fm and posted it elsewhere (I think GameFAQS) claiming to be a leak. It originated with JamessMK. JamessMK admitted fully it was all based on guess-work so he really shouldn't get props for getting lucky.

Just wanted to point that out. As far as we're aware, we've had no legitimate leak yet for MKX on that sort've level. All there has been is correct guessing using process of elimination.


You guys are right, It could have been just a guess but what difference does it make? It's our roster, we already know all these characters in the list are in, so what difference does it make?

Hopefully there is one or two more secrets that we don't know about but I doubt it :'(.

Well that's the thing.. I hope we are getting some surprises. I really hope we are getting at least one cyborg. Doesn't feel right without a cyborg in MK

Am I the only one that gets really annoyed when people include Gori as part of the main roster?

Goro is on disc so he's part of the main roster, it seems...everybody's guessing. Pl claiming they know stuff others don't or sitting on their high horse as if everything is revealed or evident is condescending and stupid.

Is that Goro's wife? wink lol

All seriousness, he might as well be, he was prepared with them and just held for pre-orders.

Cyber Sub was a hidden unlockable in MK9 not previously released.. I'm pretty sure we'll get one more character not mentioned. I even remember Boon saying, "Yes, the whole roster will be known except for one or two characters we won't mention."

Pretty convinced Shang Tsung will be the super unlockable.

That would be quite underwhelming, tbh. Besides, after seen Shinnok's gameplay I would say his chances are pretty slim.

It's got to be Reiko or Fujin. Maybe even Havik.

Yes, but he is the only character with enough importance (same level as shinnok or liu kang) to be held as an "unlockable" other than Kahn who is less likely since he just had his 'boss role' last game

At this point, I agree with people that it MAY be Reiko. Considering how NRS likes to share movesets and abilities, some of the Kahn moves may get shifted over to Reiko.
