Actually the story is now picking up after the netherrealm war and after mk9 which is all covered in the game..

No noob no smoke no fujin.
Jax is back
A redundant ass Jacqui
Sonya back
Puts a stain on an otherwise decent roster

If Jacqui is redundant isn't Cassie double redundant?

Seems like a double standard with them among a lot of fans.

Liu Kang not in but his voice actor shared the Clueless Gamer skit on his twitter with the caption, Should have used LiuKang? Yeaaaa,

Probably. It is absolutely looking like it is heading that direction.

I wonder what the roster will look like post-DLC. With such a demand for 3D characters but there also being demand for 2D, I wonder how it'll play out.

no jaq is redundant because of cassie as well as the fact Jax is in. We already have a daughter of special forces that has similarities of the parent(with both parents on the roster). Didnt need jacqui imo. most likely she will also have similar moves as Jax. With Jax also being on the roster.

If havik made it in I would be pissed off. One of many characters that sucks a fat penis. Who in their right mind would want to see him return?

A lot of people.

We saw Cassie first but both were likely planned from the beginning. Cassie's got some similarities and differences to her parents, but there are two of them she's borrowing slightly from while Jacqui's only borrowing from one fighter. Hence why I said wouldn't that make Cassie twice as redundant?

Um, he is quite popular on these forums. Out of all the 3D era characters, he is one of the more popular/well liked ones behind probably only Kenshi, Fujin and Tanya.

...

Alotta people do.

I dislike the amount of humans.

Yeah no shit, we need some off ass creatures in this game. What, only monster like peeps we got is D'Vorah, Kotal, and Goro? We need some variety. We need Havik.

We need Shao Kahn.




WE.

NEED.


MEAT.

I think the roster is real but it isnt complete. I think Bo Rai Cho will be a secret character and maybe Reiko, Li Mei, or Rain.

Here's the thing about the JamesMK/Gamefaqs roster leak;

It reeks of desperation for attention. He constantly answered questions despite claiming he didn't want to answer the same old questions, gave out false info when he could've done any number of things to quit the fan harrassment, gave out wishy-washy answers as to keep people coming back for more, he goes off on anyone who calls him a liar even if those people also claim to have trusted sources of their own who say he's wrong or 'partially right,' he has a picture on his twitter of a human ballsack that he claimed was his then denied it.... No matter the history between NRS and this guy, he gave us a very safe and predictable roster any of us or long-standing members of this forum could've given or predicted (including the fact Kung Jin was the bow user as he was the only likely candidate based on the thick, info-loaded bio from the web series and many had already predicted that to begin with). The dude comes off as a narcissist looking for attention and by posting a "roster list" he got what he wanted. Even if he happens to be right, I'll never believe it was anything other than a lucky guess because the guy is clearly off his wagon, in my opinion. Sure, I could be completely wrong about the guy, but just basing my opinion on all the posts I spent weeks going through trying to figure out if he was for real, I think I lost a bit of my sanity during it. Maybe if he'd told us something more impressive, like a hidden character, or a boss or sub-boss then I would've believed him, but honestly any number of us with imaginations and a good process of elimination could've predicted that roster.

This is exactly what I think, I think that was the roster at the time but unfinished. I thought we heard last year that the roster size would be as big as Mk9 if not bigger. I have hope for Reiko still. As it's unlikely that Shang my main man is not in this one

I remember months ago NRS said they were trying to cram more characters in. I think the leak was the roster before they jammed characters in. Maybe since Li Mei, Bo Rai Cho, Reiko and Rain have parts in the story, they used the models and gave them movesets.

Whats up with all these roster topics ?. Serious the game is very much likley to be gold and now in production.

There are still six of seven op slots, Erron Black is not confirmed yet, Sonya is not confirmed yet, Jax is not confirmed yet. So please pay attention to NRS.

I agree, we need MORE crazy ass other-wordly characters.

Expecting your favourite character to be in is just as silly, if not sillier, than believing that leaked roster. Bo Rai Cho, Tanya and even my favourite Baraka will not make it, bank on it!

This is my first time seeing this list and it looks 100% accurate.

I believe it is accurate, at best people should hope that it doesn't a story unlocked character, it's the last hope for 3D characters, otherwise we will only get 1 or 2 has DLC.

THIIIIIISSS!

Finally someone brave enough to speak the truth we're all thinking

I'll tell you how the roster will look post DLC-

The same +

Jason Voorhees
Spawn
Shang Tsung
Smoke
Cyrax
Baraka

No 3D characters, so might as well stop hoping for that.

I'm hoping for frost and Khameloen
