MK9:

1. Scorpion
2. Sub-Zero
3. Raiden
4. Rain
5. Quan-Chi
6. Smoke
7. Kenshi
8. Reptile

MK4-A:

1. Shinnok
2. Fujin
3. Tanya
4. Reiko
5. Hotaru
6. Havik
7. Sareena
8. Kai


Still not sure about Johnny and Sonya... since Cassie is in the game it kind of just tells me that JC and SB will only be in as cut scenes/referenced characters. But we shall see.

Yeah, especially when her variations take aspects of both Johnny and Sonya's playstyle. It's a shame, too; I wanted to see a revamped Johnny. ;(

MK9
Sub Zero
Scorpion
Kitana
Quan Chi
Raiden
Ermac
Noob Saibot
Cyrax or Sector

I would love to see Jax and Stryker too but they will probably not be in. And I strongly believe Liu Kang will return as a fire god and the last boss.

MK4 onwards
Kenshi
Shinnok
Li Mei
Havik
Tanya
Fujin
Bo Rai Cho
Reiko or Hotaru

Also Shujinko and Taven will probably just be included in cutscenes, but i would love to have Taven playable. The way I see it shes alot more like Stryker than Johnny or Sonya.

1. Scorpion
2. Sub Zero
3. Ermac
4. Reptile
5. Noob
6. Smoke
7. Baraka
8. Quan Chi
9. Cyrax
10. Raiden
11. Sektor
12. Mileena
13. Tanya
14. Havik
15. Kenshi
16. Shinnok
17. Kai
18. D'vorah
19. Ferra/Torr
20. Kotal Kahn
21. Cassie Cage
22-30. New Characters

Cassie is great but I hope she isn't a Stryker replacement, so far she just uses small guns, I'm hoping Stryker will show up with the big guns!

my MKX roster prediction list: (in order of MK1-9)

1.Scorpion
2.Sub Zero
3.Raiden
4.Liu Kang (Evil Boss #2)
5.Johnny Cage
6.Reptile
7.Kitana (DLC)
8.Baraka
9.Smoke
10.Stryker (DLC)
11.Ermac
12.Rain
13.Shinnok (Boss #1)
14.Quan Chi
15.Kai
16.Fujin
17.Tanya
18.Meat (hidden character)
19.Bo' Rai Cho
20.Frost
21.Kenshi
22.Li Mei
23.Havik (DLC)
24.D'Vorah
25.Ferra/Torr
26.Cassie Cage
27.Kotal Kahn
28.New
29.New
30.New
31.New
32.New (DLC) I'm sure the dead heroes will gradually be restored throughout story mode and the roster will consist of fighters from the whole 25 year span so I don't think they should be ruled out, even if they were they can still be DLC.

MK9

Subby
Scorpy
Sindel
Sektor
Kano
Sheeva
Mileena
Stryker

Raiden is an obvious.

MK4-MKD

Shujinko
Tanya
Ashrah
Li Mei
Fujin
Havik
Kai
Nitara

Scorpion
Sub-Zero
Kano
Shang Tsung
Raiden
Reptile
Mileena
Kitana
Sektor/Cyrax either of them I could see but only one this time
Fujin
Shinnok
Quan Chi
Reiko
and Havok

I don't see most of MK4-Deception's new characters making it in. It'll be an impossibility for them to IMO. Havok actually could play a role because he's not just some thug. Reiko just because he has a role also, he's on Shinnok's side which means it would be strange to exclude him.

I am sorry to dissapoint you but Cassie definitely looks like a Stryker replacement. And a great one if you ask me. Stryker never had a lot of fans and didn't contribute much in the story so it was inevitable that he was gonna be replaced with a new character that uses technology in his moveset; but way cooler.
I can tell that the characters you listed is more of a wishlist rather than a prediction coz honestly...he has no chance being in the game lbr I can understand where you're coming from coz I love Sheeva but I am 95% sure I won't see her again soon.

I can't predict the roster anyway but there may be 15 returning and 15 new.

From what we seen so far from gameplay, X rays and fatalities
I really can't see this game without at least:

Baraka

Kano

Havik

others I would like to see

Kabal

Shinnok

Li Mei

Reptile

Smoke

I just want Tanya and Reiko. ^^

@projectzero00 lol you haven't disappointed me, you have your opinion but that's really all it is regardless of how highly you think of it, you don't know who will be in or not, and you've made it clear that you don't like Stryker on my other posts, I don't like Mileena, maybe it would be good of me to remind you this on every post you mention Mileena?

by the way, Stryker played a bigger part in the MK9 story than Mileena, he had his own chapter, Mileena just appeared to get her ass kicked, as for the MKX story- anything is possible as the story will not be the same as the one as we knew from the original timeline.


and you're not too clued up if you honestly believe they won't feature the dead heroes in the MKX story :/

MK9

Reptile
Ermac

4. Liu Kang- maybe. seems likely
5. Quan-Chi- duh

5. Bo Rai Cho- maybe
6. Havik- most likely pos4 mk4 character
7. Sareena- maybe

The rest of the roster i think will be new chars. Including the ones that are already revealed.

I am just going to guess that the 14 new, 8 returning and 8 MK4/after is applicable. Just for argument's sake. This would be my guess, if that were true:

Rain
Reptile
Skarlet

Tanya
Fujin
Hotaru
Havik
Bo Rai Cho

D'Vorah
Tremor (if he doesn't make this roster, he never will)
Hornbuckle (New name/one of Onaga's holy men)
Screws-in-eyes-and-wrists-guy (MKDA concept)

unknown.....

1: Scorpion
2: Sub-Zero
3: Raiden (obvious, but I hope on Rain)
4: Quan Chi (obvious)
5: Reptile (obvious)

7: Sektor (my personal hope, but I think it will be Cyrax)
8: Ermac (rather obvious)

1: Tanya (obvious)
2: Shinnok (obvious)
3: Reiko (not so obvious but I hope it)
4: Kai
5: Ashrah (I hope it)
