I would really like to see the following characters brought back revamped and deveopled further in MK7, like they did with a lot of older less established fighters in MKD. I could probably add a couple of others, but these guys are my main choice.

Stryker- Most underrated man in MK. We need a more normal, average human fighter.

Mavado- He had a lot of potential to go further after MKDA, and ties to many other characters.

Nitara- One of my favourite MKDA newcomers. I wanna see them do a lot more with her vampire powers.

Kai- Story needs work, but I think his caperoia would work well in the current 3 style system.

Drahmin- I may be alone here, but I really liked Drahmin, and MK badly needs another powerhouse.

Fujin- Boring in MK4/MKG, but his wind powers have a lot of potential, and with Raiden going crazy, he should be the good god.

Sareena- Seriously, it's time she was brought into a mainstream MK. Just give her a new set of moves.

I'd also like to see Kung Lao go further towards becoming the main hero and future champion of Mortal Kombat. Liu Kang should not have returned so soon, and Shujinko is a joke.

Message to the MK team:
Bring back the cyber ninjas all of them, use the mksm engine, make better finishers, and bring back the funny fatalities exactly how they were in 2d so they aren't stupidly remade and reconfigured or I swear to God I will eat a handful of rusty corn cob holders. That is all :D.

Please don't type in all-caps, and don't write death-threats here. Isn't what I edited funnier? Jerrod

I think most of the new characters suck, the only ones i can think of now are
kabal
ermac
smoke
noob saibot
cyrax
sektor
rain
reptile
and some others

Since they said there wouldn't be many characters, I'll post a team of five heroes:

Raiden - as the fallen god who commands storms.
Kung Lao - as the shaolin monk with immense inner strength.
Kitana - as the sexy and deadly avenging assassin.
Sub Zero - as the great warrior with mastery over cold.
Ermac - as the legion of souls who swore to fight evil.

Liu Kang
Johnny Cage
Sonya Blade
Kung Lao
Sub-Zero
Scorpion
Kung Lao
Raiden
reptile
baraka
mileena
cyrax
noob saibot
smoke
stryker
jade
sindel
ashrae
kabal

well thats my list think thats ok

Um...why did u post a list now? Every character is gonna be in it.

I think all characters deserve a chance in 3-D, and so i dont get bored like i did in deadly alliance with only a few interesting characters. Maybe like 5-6 new chracters to just to keep it up to date. EDIT: Kinda off topic but personally I can't stand "The Krypt". I think they should have a new way.

Why is this thread even still being posted in? lol

dont know but they should make a mk:SM type game for fujin and raiden
