I hope to God that's true because it'd be rad as all hell.  I am 100% behind this and hope the rumors are true. I also hope we can put him in the goofy-rear end yellow MK2/3 outfits.

Kollector looks like what they've been trying to do with Reptile since MK4, but successfully. Now that they have a kool looking lizard dude, maybe Reptile can look more humanoid again? I just really liked his gimmick of being a surprise lizard instead of just Soul Calibur's Lizardman.

I kind of hate Reptile's pedestrian design in the last 2 games and I'd be all for him being a human design again but with some body horror i.e. the skin suit doesn't quite fit and maybe his eyes/teeth kind of tear through and you can see scales ripping out from it. I realize his human design was due to programming limitations and they moved on after MK3 but hey, we're revisiting the MK2/3 classic poo poo so why not.

Reptilian Conspiracy Reptile - looks human but if you pay close attention to the slo-mo attacks you can see his eyes, tongue, and/or skin shapeshift.

I randomly stumbled on Maximilian ranting last night on Twitch while he played Tekken 7 about how uncool this NRS leak was and I'm just here thinking that this is the kind of poo poo that happens when you troll people endlessly about the game and it's roster. You reap what you sow, Boon! Should have just told us who was in the game, cus we're all going to buy it anyway.

I feel like MK games are such an outlier in the FGC in terms of the insanity of people who NEED THIS ONE CHARACTER OR IT ALL SUCKS, even moreso than Smash Bros. Maybe it's because the smaller roster leads to people thinking slots are "wasted" or "stolen"

Kotal Kahn was a great character in MKX but was also incredibly dumb and got clowned in a fight to the death with loving Kung Jin. I hope he's the next blundering motherfucker in the storyline who makes well-meaning yet dumb mistakes .

There were a ton of new characters and a lot of the returning ones were more obscure than the normal World Warrior roster. At very least I remember plenty of people complaining about the lack of Akuma and Sagat specifically.

Oh, right. Forgot about Baraka and Kotal. And of course there Raiden. He isn't a stooge, but he sure is a gullible sad sack. And the sheer magnitude of the consequences of his fuckery definitely qualifies him. Yep, I'm down for another comedy of errors. Here's to hoping that Kronica doesn't fix things up too much.

I like that Raiden is sort of a "bad guy" in MK11, but not the main one, because I guarantee you he'll defeat himself just like he did in MK9. He'll probably accidentally kill most of his henchmen in the process too.

He was more interesting devolved IMO. He should come back as a savage but this time just slaughter everybody who abused him. That'd be killing like half the cast (again) but that's fine

They can still get a lot of hype when the characters are properly shown off. Like people quickly sniffed out that Johnny Cage was in thanks to blurry background images and poo poo and yet when his trailer came out everybody was still “drat he looks cool.”

Maybe it's because the smaller roster leads to people thinking slots are "wasted" or "stolen" My personal take on this is that NRS has good story modes and reinvents their entire cast from the ground up with each installment. If you're really loyal to a given character it's kind of a bummer to not see their role in the plot or what their new moveset looks like. This is in stark contrast to most other fighting games which have universally lovely story modes and either play it very safe with their character designs/movesets or gently caress up royally when they do try to redesign. If my character doesn't make it into Tekken I'm not really gonna wonder what they were going to look like and what their moveset would be because they're still reusing animations from 1994, I can probably make a pretty accurate guess. If my character doesn't make it into Street Fighter V I can be rest assured they would have done something unbelievably stupid with them so who cares It's the main reason that I am a little bummed that we probably won't get to see human Smoke in base roster, because I would love to see what they would do with him in the current graphics engine and design principles. On the flip side, it doesn't matter if smoke doesn't make it in because who knows if his moveset would even be remotely like his MK9 moveset. It's not like previous game knowledge carries over for any of these characters for the most part like it does for other fighters. It's not the end of the world and anyone that treats it like that is baffling (especially if you're campaigning a 4, DA, or Deception era character wtf)

I think with MK11 going full-on pretty pretty princess you at least have more of a chance at seeing alt characters like Human Smoke, even if it is just a reskin of Cybersmoke.

Injustice 2 let you set up everyone the way you wanted + let you specifically designate which variant would be the "default" when selected initially so there's precedent for that.

Also mk 9 _10 played similarly enough that they could get away with old move sets, mk 11 looks a lot slower so the m10 movesets would be annoying as hell to fight against as they dash in and out of combat

Between me and the guy I still play MK9 with, we've tried like 90% of the cast so neither of us had any expectations that MK11 would leave us without someone we loved Even without smoke I'm already marking out for noob, frost, scorpion, and cage. Who are these weirdos who only latch onto one MK character
