I hate to say it but, I gotta agree with D'Vorah on this one. I will be pissed if one of the (proposed) 8 spots from MK9 is filled with sonya, because Cassie is in the game.

Sonya's not coming back.

99.9% guaranteed.

Now, that's not to say we won't see her in the story mode, and we may even be able to play as her (with Cassie's moves applied to her model), but as for a playable character in the roster?

Nope. No way.

Odds are Johnny may not even return. I'm not quite as sure on him, but I'd say there's a better than 50% chance he's absent from MKX.

Her flip kick is reminiscent of the cartwheel and not to mention she has Sonya's takedown and some of both her parents normals.

Didn't Boon tweet something saying 'just because one character is in doesn't mean another is out'

...and yet every time there's a thread involving these characters it's always 'so and so will probably die since Cassie is in'

Not to say that one or both of her parents dying won't actually happen, but damn at least give Boon the benefit of the doubt until we find out more.

No she doesn't. She has a Shadow Kick that travels straight up like a foot-shoryuken but that's not a Bike Kick, and her kiss involves blowing fire with an aerosol can.

They're about as similar as a nightstick is to a telescoping baton.
Cassie is less similar to either of her parents in gameplay than Ermac and Kenshi are to each other, or Goro, Kintaro, and Sheeva are to each other, or Frost is to Sub-Zero, or Cyber-Sub-Zero is to Sub-Zero, and they've all been in the same games several times.
There's no logical reason to assume that either of Cassie's parents won't be on the roster. ESPECIALLY since you're all forgetting that Cassie is only from ONE of the MANY periods in time that story mode will cover. She's from "25 years after MK9" but there will be parts of the game that take place "right after MK9" or "5 years after MK9", areas before Cassie is born or when she's a child, where you could very well play as a still-young Johnny and Sonya.

Yes, it's some kind of an incendiary spray.
I refuse to believe people really think it's a fire kiss. You can clearly see her droping the device on the ground after using it for crying out loud.

Perhaps after Cassie is born, Raiden asks Johnny and Sonya about her becoming one of the next defenders for Earthrealm.

Sonya and Johnny are reluctant about this decision. Though Sonya and Johnny have been training her as a "hobby", she, Johnny and Raiden were having an argument about her involved after what happened to their friends.

Please, please Boonie, don't ruin the now so perfect roster with Sonya and Cage! Cassie is enough, there are probably only 8 returnies from MK9, and those two will be a total waste with Cassie around. I even would prefer if you dig up the graves of Kang, Kitana and Jax to place over them.

And we haven't seen ALL of her moves, she probably has some other familiar-to-her-parents moves as well. (god I freaking hope) Two blonde bimbo humans is really too much for me, at least Cassie knows how to dress.

This is too rich. Oh my God. You don't even know what a bicycle kick is. Outstanding. XD

OMG, I just noticed that Cassie Cage has Sektor's missiles as an attack.

Lol, I'm going to scream if Cassie replaces Sektor instead of Sonya.

She can call in airstrikes. Sektor is in no danger of being replaced. He is almost needed for the story to contain a human sub-zero.

That role probably comes from Cyrax, who later turns good.

Sektor becoming the grandmaster of the lin kuei cant be avoided in this narrative unless he is ultimately stopped prior to that happening, either way I say he is in. And i honestly think cyrax will be in as well, why not right?

She does it right before landing the split punch in her x-ray move.

She has also a slightly different version of Sonya's air leg grab.

You're terribly wrong. Cassie has the take down, the air leg grab, the cartwheel , Kiss and maybe few other moves that weren't showed so far. From her daddy she retains the shadow kicks with a different altitude and the split punch and, of course, some other moves.

Just because there are variation doesn't mean that the move is "different". Kenshi and Ermac share the telekinetic slam (at least in Deception), Frost and Sub_Zero had the shoulder charge (in different games).. But as you can see they are all characters related by blood, story, origins, powers, etc.

Again, I am not ruling Sonya out, but the resemblance with her Mother is so obvious both phisically and special moves that I Wonder how an intelligent guy like you couldn't see it.


Telescopic baton is very different from a nightstick, a tonfa or a kali stick. They are not even used the same way. It,'s like not seeing the difference between a Knife, a sword, a spear and an axe just because they are all cutting weapons.

That's not a kiss, are you blind?

I don't wanna be mean, lastfighter, but there's just too many errors in your post, I don't have the energy to argue against all of it, I've lost interest.

You're welcome to your opinion but I disagree with it and none of this is evidence that Johnny and Sonya can't both be in the game.

Thank you.

That was the point I'm trying to make, that there really is no glaring reason either or both can't be in the game.

That makes me feel a lot better since I really do want Sonya in the new game. You're pretty observant.

Kano will kill Sonya in the Story.
Cassie Cage will get revenge.

DEAL WITH IT.

A blind man can see this plot coming.
The Kano and Sonya feud has to end, officially.

And especially because Sonya couldn't ever capture or kill him in a 21-year span. Hopefully Jax will go along for the ride. I'm quite sick of the three of them, actually.

Sonya won't be a playable, but I think she'll definitely appear in the story mode, likely in a limited capacity.
However, do we really need another revenge plot? 'Cause you know that's what Scorpion's going to have in the game AGAIN.

Because having Sonya's daughter going after Kano (Sonya's former rival) is much better, and fresh, right?

You name must be Allison DuBois.

The day you read this. Don't go outside. Nothing seriously bad will happen, you'll just be glad you didn't miss "IT".
