Freaks? Damn near all these guys are freaks -- that's, like, the first question they ask on your tournament entry application. Even Stryker is a freak, for being able to do backflips while carrying an infinite supply of military-grade incendiary grenades.

It also seems unfair to lump Scorpion in as a non-freakmonsterdemon, because he can still revert to flaming skull form any time he wants to. If you can knock Scorpion and Sub-Zero into the "boring human" pool as a rule, then MK9 had 9 characters out of 27 that could be classified as freakmonsterdemons: Ermac, Reptile, Mileena, Noob, Baraka, Raiden, Sheeva, Quan Chi. The cyborgs don't count because they had human forms, just as Scorpion does in MKX. (You better believe that Scorpion gets a hellspawn costume in the Netherrealm War part of the story.)

MKX, if we're going by the leak list, has 8 freakmonsterdemons out of 24 characters. 9/27 is the exact same ratio as 8/24, and you're only short by one anyway.

Next, you have to consider that the four offspring characters do not exist or are not fighters until the end of the 25-year timespan. And at that point, the parent characters are probably not fighting anymore -- that's why you only see the four newcomers going out on missions. The balance of humans and non-humans at any one point in the timeline actually favors the non-humans more than ever before.

And this isn't even counting the DLC -- one of which we know to be a playable Goro, the ultimate freak.

Now, I do agree that it seems like we're missing at least a couple more villains here. It's possible that more villains make cameo appearances in the story but you don't fight them directly, which is lame but sensible considering the scope of this whole project. If this is indeed the actual roster, then yes, I could have asked for more out of it. But when you consider the 25-year timeline, and the fact that humans age while the villains basically live forever, it's not nearly as imbalanced as folks are making it out to be. And with DLC you can't even say that this is all we're getting.

I thought this was about something else: Kotal being brought to he knees and seemingly very injured by a single handgun bullet.

oh and Goro, so make that 14 vs 10

and Scorpion and Sub-zero arn't the average human so they shouldn't really count(and are in every game)

so that makes it 12 earth humans to 10 non earthlings
