Even though we won't be getting even half of your prediction list, I agree with your choices. I feel all of them should come back for another go or deserve expanding upon.

I really am over Netherealm's MK characters seemingly (main word right there) being one offs like Skarlet and Nitara, both of whom (at least in my imagination) have plenty of room for growth and tons of future potential without the high probability of turning shitty.

I feel for the Edenian's though; really want them and the Netherealm citizens to represent in this game, usually they're quite overlooked in favor of Outworld and Earthrealm.

Nice list but there won't be that many returning.

Using my superior intellect, common sense and predictability, I have narrowed down a list that I feel is 99.99% accurate in regards to who is returning, who will most likely, and who will NOT from MK2011 (aka MK9)

MK9 CONFIRMED (and unofficially confirmed characters)
Scorpion
Sub-Zero
Kung Lao
Ermac
Reptile
Kitana
Kano
Raiden
Quan-Chi
Jax (confirm via Towers)
Mileena (confirm via Towers)
Goro (DLC)

MK9 MAYBES
*Either unannounced, prominent in Story Mode or DLC
Sonya Blade
Johnny Cage
Liu Kang
Baraka
Shang Tsung
Noob
Sektor

MK9 NOT RETURNING
*These characters have very slim chances of returning
Jade (confirmed)
Sindel
Nightwolf
Smoke
Sheeva
Rain
Cyrax (referenced in Towers)
Stryker
Kabal
Cyber Sub-Zero

Not bad!

Nah, the only thing that superior intellect managed was probably achieving the "roster thread" number 1 million so congrats on that.

Sorry for being a downer but this forum is gettin overloaded by these threads to a point where it''s hard to keep track of the interesting threads :S

Hey look! Another roster speculation thread!!! Do you people not look at anything on these forums? Ugh

Everyone feels like they've cracked it in their own minds.

And there are literally a dozen threads like this one in the last couple pages.

Pointless.

Another roster speculation thread...

At least my thread was just the list of definitely de-confirmed characters (with links to the de-confirmations) and those possibly not returning; and it got merged with the dead Deadpool thread after spending hours of me finding the links... I hope Mick is going to merge all the 1,000,001 roster speculation threads into one giant mess of a thread as well.

Edit: Can't we just have one pinned Roster Speculation thread added to the front page?

As long as these endless roster threads keep including Jax, I won't be annoyed.

Your way off this is 1,034,295 Roster thread

Nice

Kai or I don't care...
