i dont want that many to make it. only 4 at most should return. mk isnt gonna be "new" if they bring back a bunch of old characters.

scorpion and sub are in.

id like to see characters that get ignored because they arent wearing a ninja mask.

Im taking a guess that only 7 will live. who you ask the original 7 chars(playable) of mortal kombat. makes sense. its not gonna happen though.

I doubt 20 will make it. The only 2 that will stay for sure is Sub-Zero and Scorpion I think. If there's going to be anymore it'll probably be 8 other characters. Here's who I think will be in the next game.

Sub-Zero
Scorpion
Lui Kang
Sonya
Ermac
Kenshi
Cyrax
Jax
Shao Kahn
Taven or Kung Lao

1. sub-zero 100%
2.scorpion or cyrax 99%
3.liu kang or kung lao 85%
4.sonya 70%
5.rayden 90%
6.baraka 70%
7.johny cage or nightwolf 70%
8. cano or jarek or a new guy with the abilities of cano 90%
9.reptile 80%
10. shinnok or shang tsung or quan chi 55%
11. jax 75%
12. sareena 25%
13.millena or kitana or jade 70%
14.smoke 35%
15.ermac or kenshi 40%
16.shao khan 70%
17.li mei 65%
18.kabal 25%
19.noob 35% and if tobias comes again to the team then we will have noob saibot 0%
( I've missed the ideas of tobias )
20.and maybe goro 65%

And I hope borai cho to have a slow and brutal death in armageddon and never resurect. Never!

whatever happend to tobias...?


and yes i agree borai cho should die..he should get like alcohol poising and die.. lmao i think johnny cage should die tooo..i hate him he such a loser, thats relli stupid and childish to remvoe saibot from noobs name...that is jus wrong, im still not over it lol thats what made him sound cool....

popular characters.

( in no particular order )

Reiko
Rain
Stryker
Casselm...... I mean Sektor
Fujin
Ermac
Sareena
Shao Kahn
Shinnok
Raiden
Kung Lao
Scorpion
Reptile
Smoke
Cyrax
Chameleon
Motaro
Taven
Shang Tsung
Sub Zero

Well I don't think 20 characters are going to be playable in the next MK. I think a lot of them will actually just be retired to the background rather than killed of. Heres who I definatly want though. Most of these are through because I think they look cool and/or they have a good storyline.

1) Sektor
2) Sub Zero
3) Sheeva
4) Shinnok
5) Shang Tsung
6) Scorpion
7) Jade
8) Havik
9) Kabal
10) Kira
11) Kitana
12) Kung Lao
13) Reiko
14) Raiden
15) Sonya
16) Jax
17) Kai
18) MF'n Mokap
19) Ermac
20) Smoke

subzero
smoke
scorpin
barka

there's my 20

I don't really think 20 characters will make it to the next MK, though here is my list:

1. Scorpion
2. Sub-Zero (preferably his successor)
3. Kung Lao
4. Sareena
5. Ermac
6. Havik
7. Kira
8. Jade
9. Mileena
10. Li Mei
11. Fujin
12. Raiden
13. Nitara
14. Kenshi

Personally I think 20 is too many...10 would be a stretch...6 or 5 more likely.

Anyways:

1. Shang Tsung
2. Quan Chi
3. Shinnok
4. Noob Saibot
(Were would they end up if they did die? Exactly where they came from: the Netherrealm. So even if they did die they would most likely come back.)
5. Raiden
6. Fujin
(Its damn hard to kill a god. Even when they are being suicidal.)
7. Johnny Cage
(He's already died once and came back. Besides he's needed to lighten up the mood.)
8. Sub-Zero
9. Scorpion
(Because Boon said so.)
10. Kenshi
(He already had a face full of angry souls. If that didn't kill him almost nothing will.)
11. Liu Kang
(Anyone who has ever played a Resident Evil game knows these undead guys are hard to keep down.)
12. Li Mei
13. Shujinko
14 Bo Rai Cho
(All because any character I never want to see again will no doubt be brought back time and again.)
15. Reptile
16. Kabal
(They're survivors.)
17. Sonya
18. Kira
(They are just too stubborn/tough to die. Two sides of the same coin so to speak, besides I can just can't seem to get this image out of my head of these two fighting over Johnny.)
19. Kung Lao
20. Ashra
(Just to finish off the twenty)

1. Sub-Zero
2. Scorpion
3. Kung Lao
4. Kitana
5. Ermac
6. Raiden
7. Bo Rai Cho
8. Liu Kang (resurrected)
9. Sonya
10. Johnny Cage
11. Rain
12. Reptile
13. Noob Saibot
14. Shang Tsung
15. Quan Chi
16. Nitara
17. Hotaru
18. Havik
19. Taven
20. Daegon

i doubt 20 so i'll change mine to 12

1.Scorpion (must or the game would fail, not an opinion. FACT)
2.Sub Zero (another must)
3.Kitana (takes rule as Queen, also because of popularity)
4.Raiden (by popularity)
-------------------------------
5.Kung Lao or Liu Kang
6.Baraka or Reptile
7.Kenshi
8.Shinnok
9.Jade (turned back to bad) or Mileena (continue the great rivalry with Kitana)
10.Sektor or Cyrax
11.Rain (he returned and got revamped for Armageddon for well reason)
12.Motaro (because they can use a new system to create him with 4 legs)

others will make there return later in the newer series, i think we'll have a good new 3-6 characters in the series like they did in Deadly Alliance. Including a new big bad ie; new kahn or tsung.
