NRS don't recycle characters from previous games like Tekken/DOA/SC. There's no reason to believe a returning character would take less time to prepare vs a brand new one.
MKX reveal had Ferra/Tor, Kotal Khan, D'vorah, and Cassie all showcased (along with the 2 ninjas).
Kabal looks cool, but I feel like I can't really get excited about any character's move list until I know how the variations/abilities are going to work.
We should probably consolidate threads at this point, yeah?
What do you want to know? We pretty much have all the answers to that already.

I'm surprised so many people seem interested in Reptile. I didn't realize he was so popular. Seems like they have to put him in to avoid disappointment.
He's the only character I really want in, so I hope he's back.
So from what I've heard, there will be three "base" variations that will be available for all characters, and those will most likely be the variations used for competitive play. I'd like to know which moves are included in each of those variations and if any moves are exclusive to customization. I don't really want to get too excited about moves that I may never get to use because they're locked behind an option I'll likely never use.
Reptile has really only missed 1 game before, Deception, and vanilla MK3. He's appeared in every MK game since the beginning, so he's more of a trusty stalwart expectation at this point.
I just want him to have his freaking human disguise again. I love that green ninja dude to pieces
I have a bad feeling that he may not make the cut this time out. I really hope I am wrong here.
Boon stated in an interview that 3 default variations would cover all character options.
They don't have everyone ready to show off yet?
The game is out in 2 months and change
All they've shown of Kano & D'Vorah are renders. They can do that with any character
Next week's kombat kast reveal is a female that Boon confirmed is not D'Vorah...
My money is on Jade.

Agreed. I want a real surprise.
Rooting for Sindel, Sareena, Sheeva, or Frost.
Have to say i was really expecting some bigger reveals. I'm curious about the other game modes that have been hinted at.
As a side note it's funny long how they drag out the reveal.They trickle the roster and every character is an "announcement." Just kind of funny to me. Was this ever done in the past (3D era games and before)?

Even if they redo all of the animations they still aren't starting from scratch like they would be with a brand new character.
It was stated at the reveal that they chose the characters based on who was closest to being finished.
I didn't say it was just the animations. The character models, voice work, hit effects, attires, etc. are all brand new and redesigned. Just as it would for a brand new character.

And they still aren't starting from scratch.
I agree that NRS is putting a lot of work into returning characters (Skarlet is a prime example), but it's still less work than they put into brand new characters where they have no base to start from.
That's quite the bold assumption you're making. Especially when you consider that from what we've seen so far a classic character like Raiden has nearly double the number of special moves vs the sole newcomer revealed Geras (which among them are multiple utilities from Tremor in MKX).
The only argument you're presenting about starting from "scratch" is that some core lore decisions are established for the classic characters. You still need to consider the gameplay design for each of them has been completely re-conceptualized for every character. I. E. Sonya without the military stances and Dive kick, Skarlet completely retooled as a zoner, Sub-zero no longer basing his game plan on the ice clone which historically defined his archetype.

With any character that's returning they already have the basic concept ready and will keep but tweak many of their main attacks, and have a good feel for what to what fits the character when they add new ones.
A new character still has to go through the concept stage, and I don't think you should underestimate the work that goes into pitching and perfecting a concept before realising it.

Frost I'm betting will be a Sub-Zero premier skin and not her own character if she makes it. Sareena is one I've been hoping for personally. MK has a lot of interesting characters in its lore, and they should look to develop some of those characters further rather than relying on completely new characters every time IMO.
Not sure how far back you mean, but they seem to be doing it just like Injustice 2 with a pretty steady cadence of reveals/breakdowns and each character announcment being a thing. They didn't really go into detail on the game modes until much closer to launch.
Frost isn't gonna be a skin for anyone considering the differences/problems with NRS female hitboxes.
Why are there so many MK11 threads? Wasn't there the other which is used for new info on chars, stages, etc?
