I don't think its raising your hopes up too much to think that some of these rumors might point toward a larger roster than what we can currently see.

I wouldn't be disappointed if the number turned out to be 24. It'd be cool if we got 6 DLC after that so that we have more than MK9 as Ed said, but even if that doesn't happen, it wouldn't be the end of the world.

I don't really get the whole "I'm sick of the build up" thing. It's barely started. There's SO much we don't know yet. Hopefully that excites some of you.

If the speculation is getting old, perhaps it's because we had such a massive dry spell between October and January? That was kinda weak on their part, but it's not like they have everything ready and just don't feel like showing it all to us. If they just posted a list of characters in the game, I'd kinda hate that.

At least the wait's winding down. After that... Who knows when we'll get the next game.

Treasure... these... moments...

Maybe we will know the final roster size from the twitch stream next thursday! The select screen should be finalized by now...

Could you imagine if the main boss was simply Goro this whole time.

In a way it's quite exciting that there is only a few months left until release and we barely know half the characters. Just hope there are no people this time mining demos for story spoilers or hidden stuff like last time :( it was hard to avoid

I think it will be 25 characters for MKX

What I think and fear the rooster will be like in the end, I would not like this rooster at all, but my feelings are this will be close to the actual rooster...

Sorry to break it to you buddy but... the game is out.

Lmao and every single one of these roster wish lists were better than what we got. XD

Seriously, what is it with new or "once in a blue moon" members of this site responding to topics that are well beyond dead at this point?

My guess is that the topic pull up during google searches and they don't bother to check the date.
