On one hand, there are some obvious omissions that are otherwise almost certain to be on the roster. But maybe Kronika won't get an achievement if she's like an unlockable boss character?

And I could totally see NetherRealm intentionally withholding Reptile, Kitana, Goro, Cyrax/Sektor for DLC packs.

They've actually confirmed that Kronika isn't going to be playable. That'll allow them to make her really OP since they won't need to balance her for competitive play.

Wow, I can't believe *insert character who's name hasn't been mentioned in over a decade* isn't in.

Thanks Ed Boon, I'm not buying your trash game.

I don't think it's that, exactly. Just too many characters to squeeze into a 25-fighter roster. Once they have the obligatory newcomers and some of the MKX characters back, there are just too many must-haves to get them all in.

It seems like the ideal roster for a lot of people would just be the MK9 roster, but NRS doesn't roll like that. I do wish they would start bumping their base roster up to maybe 30.

What if Ter is not Terminator


Looks up Wiki to check

Nimbus Terrafaux

Nimbus Terrafaux was rumored to be a playable character (a kickboxer) in the first Mortal Kombat game as an unlockable secret character. It was later revealed as a creation of Electronic Gaming Monthly as part of an April Fool's Day joke, though Ed Boon had originally hinted at the character in an interview with the magazine, which then intentionally published false information on this character, complete with doctored screenshots and a fabricated storyline. The character was included in Game Revolution's list of "Top 10 Old School Mortal Kombat Characters" in 2011.

Yeah, that's not a thing.

She's in. Despite the thread title implying otherwise, not all of the characters in the game are listed here.

Pretty sure Johnny Cage was spotted in the background of the Behind the scenes video they released. It wasn't specifically the instance of him appearing in the background of that one stage but it showed him up close like in the character selection screen.

So yeah between that and the Kitana in the menu it's very likely this isn't the full roster.

No such thing as a Shotgun Jacqui. There's only one variation of her and it's full auto.

For people wondering what the full rumored roster is, this was posted over on the main MK11 thread:
Interesting! So this is our potential roster:

  1. Scorpion
  2. Raiden
  3. Sub-Zero
  4. Baraka
  5. Sonya
  6. Skarlet
  7. Geras
  8. Kano
  9. Kabal
  10. D'Vorah
  11. Liu Kang
  12. Kung Lao
  13. Kitana
  14. Cassie Cage
  15. Rain
  16. Noob Saibot
  17. Johnny Cage
  18. Erron Black
  19. Jade
  20. Frost
  21. Kotal Kahn
  22. Jacqui
  23. "Kol"
  24. "Cet"
  25. "Ter"
  26. Shao Kahn
I'm glad we're getting a few other new characters after all.
This is also based on other leaks, like Johnny Cage in the development video, and Rain appearing in both the menu and in SonicFox's profile.

That's likely not the case - if it was then he would be NIM

Terminator would only work if it was the T-1000 , Arnold would be WAY to slow for MK, it would have to be Slower than fucking Jason.
