I don't fully agree with your breakdown on the character count. I think we will be seeing 30 char roster. 12 new 18 returning. BUT I will play along..


My ten (included are the character's that must be in not necessarily my favs):

Reptile
Ermac
Noob
Fujin
Shinnok
Quan Chi
Kenshi
Mileena
Jade
Smoke

Mileena
Ermac
Reptile
Tanya
Fujin
Havik
Quan Chi
Shinnok
Nitara- Come on, MKX totally fits her.
Reiko

Left Rain out since he's deconfirmed.

1- Sareena
.
.
.
(separate tier, as long as I see Sareena I would be ok with some of these not making the cut)
3- Johnny Cage
4- Kung Lao
5- Kenshi
6- Reiko
7- Noob Saibot (specially as this + Sareena would confirm Sub-Zero as Kuai Liang)
8- Sindel
9- Ermac (Sindel and King Jerrod Ermac could have great storyline)
10- Quan Chi

Boon breathed new life into Rain's inclusion on twitter. Check out the Twitter Thread, I posted the tweets.

Well normally Scorpion, Sub-Zero and Raiden would be on my list but they are already confirmed in so im already pretty happy but ill play.

In no particular order

Ermac
Reptile
Noob Saibot
Kabal
Smoke (Cyber or Human)
Baraka
Mileena
Liu Kang (Or Kung Lao)
Shang Tsung
Havik

But he deconfirmed him in an interview... and now you tell me Rain might be in MKX anyways? Don't tease us like that!

Anyways, ten characters I'd like in MKX:

- Tanya
- Reiko
- Rain
- Nitara
- Sareena
- Havik
- Hotaru
- Jade
- Mileena
- Smoke

Tanya
Kitana
Mileena
Jade
Frost
Rain
Reiko
Hotaru
Reptile
Baraka

In no particular order...

Kitana
Kitana
Kitana
Kitana
Kitana
Kitana
Kitana
Kitana
Kitana
Kitana

He deconfirmed him as DLC

sektor
nitara
reptile
ermac
baraka
fujin
shang tsung
shinnok
havik
moloch (as human)

1. Mileena.
2. Reptile.
3. Quan Chi.
4. Johnny Cage.
5. Shinnok.
6. Ermac.
7. Havik.
8. Hotaru.
9. Tanya.
10. Reiko.

I would also be fine if any of these 10 were added later as DLC.

Reiko (must find out more why he might be Shao Kahn's predecessor)

Kai (eventually replacing Liu Kang as a possible hero of earth realm)

Drahmin (is a type of mummy)

Dairou

Noob Saibot (fits in with the deep Scorpion and Sub-Zero situation)

Reptile (need not over do the amount of ninjas in MKX although I would accept 1 or 2 new as well)

Kira (Cassie Cage is suspicious that the black dragon recruit has something to do with Sonya's unfortunate death)

Sareena (this demon rises again donning a black mask for this chapter)

Sindel (took an elixir to keep her young which is why she is present years from now)

Nitara (uses tribal, white face paint. Does not rapidly age because she feeds of blood so she is also around in the future)

Obviously (for most) the time line of the game comes into consideration with who I have picked.

Mileena
Tanya
Kira
Ashrah
Sareena
Havik
Hotaru
Tremor
Bo Rai Cho
Li Mei

1. Sektor
2. Reptile
3. Shinnok
4. Reiko
5. Baraka
6. Fujin
7. Noob
8. Rain
9. Havik
10. Tanya

01) Fujin
02) Kitana
03) Reiko
04) Shinnok
05) Ermac
06) Kenshi
07) Noob Saibot
08) Sektor
09) Cyrax
10) Quan Chi

1) Kitana - Storyline with Mileena and really show how they interact w/ one another.
2) Mileena - same as kitana
3) Reptile - Searching for his race and maybe starting an empire
4) Noob - remember who he really is and try and take control of his former clan
5) Li Mei - Being hero of outworld and maybe having an army to fight kotal kahn and devorah
6) Quan chi - Serving shinnok
7) Shinnok - try and conquer everyone
8) Jade - Fight and chase after tanya
9) Tanya - help shinnok and then be on the run from jade
10) Ermac - Be king jerrod

1) Noob-Saibot
- Favorite character.

2) Sareena
- Always liked her and want to see her given a bigger spot light.

3) Drahmin
- They made a nobody in Stryker fun to play. I'd love to see them revamp a character who is already interesting but lacked a quality moveset.

4) Shinnok
- I liked where they went with his moves in Armageddon. I've always liked his concept more than Kahn's. Would love to see a demon form as a sub boss or a main boss.

5) Reptile
- Always curious to see how he looks from game to game. The character designs seem much better this time around, so hopefully he wouldn't look so bizarre this time around.

6) Nitara
- I liked her storyline in the past. Would like to see how she would interact with the new villains they've shown off.

7) Fujin
- Needs to replace the Blunder God in the story. Could have a potentially awesome moveset.

8) Reiko
- I've always liked his concept and story. Still sad they took the giant sword away from him in Armageddon.

9) Kenshi
- Loved his moveset in MK2011, would like to see him in the story. I think it'd be interesting to see him go up against Ermac before he was turned good.

10) Tanya
- Need more female sorcerers who are given proper treatment. Plus I'd love to see pretty much all the 3D characters recreated for the 2D plane.

Bonus 11) Daegon
- I'd prefer Taven, but Daeagon should already be up and about. I think it'd be a shame to completely ignore this character in the new time line.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that you are one of Kitana's huge fans. See what I did there?

Noob Saibot
Reptile
Cyrax
Smoke
Kung Lao
Fulgore *oops wrong game*
Quan Chi
Shinnok
Fujin
Kitana
Mileena

I gotta tell you though, this was a hard list because I still would love to see:
Liu Kang
Jax
Sonya
Kabal
Night Wolf
Stryker
Sektor
ERMAC!
KENSHI!
Havik
Shao Kahn
Motaro (the REAL Motaro)
Rain
Shang Tsung
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! I can almost rip my hair out, there's so many!!!

Liu Kang
Mileena
Ermac
Sektor
Fujin
Shinnok
Quan Chi
Bo' Rai Cho
Ashrah
Havik

1) Reptile: My favorite character of all time.

2) Rain: My second favorite character of all time.

3) Bi-Han: I dont care if he's Noob-Saibot or the new Sub-Zero just get him in.

4) Ermac: My 3rd favorite ninja.

5) Shinnok: My second favorite Mk boss.

6) Smoke: Havent seen him to much as a playable character, love to see him again.

7) Cyrax: My favorite cyborg ninja.

8) Kai: I've always liked Kai, dont know why i just do.

9) Fugin: They can do some crazy things for him.

10) Quan Chi: I love this devious bastard.

These first three are pretty obvious.

Johnny Cage
Sonya
Liu Kang

For the other 7...

Reiko
Jade (MK9 ending)
