Johnny Cage's deal has always been that he's a legit badass (and, these days, hero) who no one ever takes seriously or gives the respect he deserves. His motive for joining the original tournament was to try to prove that he's legit a good martial artist with more than normal abilities.

So far the leaked characters who haven't been confirmed are : Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Kitana, Frost, Kotal Kahn, Kollector, Cetrion, Jax and Noob Saibot.

We know Kotal is coming next week.

That, in turn, suggests that there are multiple other Hollywood action stars in the Mortal Kombat universe who are not only capable of similar feats, but are better.

The Steven Seagal analogue is capable of an instant Kamehameha and you don't even wanna fuckin' know what the Don "the Dragon" Wilson guy can do. They say he caused the Tunguska event retroactively during the filming of Ring of Fire III.

If other people in Hollywood are also master kung-fu magicians we need them in the roster.

Chev Chelios needs to be a guest kharakter.

Black Dynamite too. His Fatality is a boomerang flies in from nowhere splitting the other fighter's head in half. "HA! I THREW THAT poo poo BEFORE THE FIGHT EVEN STARTED!"

Stupid story question are they zombie servants in this still? I forget who got sucked in the Soulnado (I know I could probably Google this but I just like typing Soulnado) by Quan Chi in MK9.

The story mode trailer seemed to have a lot of human Jade and zombie Kabal. So I'll say the answer is Maybe.

I just replayed 9's story mode and it was Noob Saibot who got sucked into the soulnado. As for Jade and Kabal there will probably be the zombie and human versions like with Liu Kang and Kung Lao in the trailers.

Jade and Kabal are both revenants at this point in the story, but we're about to get time bending stuff in MK11. Human Jade shows up quite a bit in the story trailer, and it kind of sounds like we'll be getting some of Black Dragon era Kabal as well.

This isn't the Beta for preordering, that's in two weeks I think. I think they did close applications for the stress test a few days ago.

If anyone else is in on PS4, feel free to hit up BarryBluejeans if you can Player Match. I am pretty bad, didn't play a fighting game online until MKX, but we can still punch each other.

since there's 6 DLC characters but only 3 slots in the bottom row I think those will turn out to be Mileena, Shang Tsung, and Shinnok

I can def see why they'd be secret/unlockables given that Shang Tsung and Shinnok could have pivotal story roles. Mileena I guess could be very interesting if she goes the route of the "flesh pit clone" hinted at from MKX.

She's a full flesh pit clone of Kitana, there's no hinting required.

Unless you mean it was hinted that there's more than one Mileena? Because that would be a good way to bring her back if MK really needs to explain the return of a dead kharacter.

Her arcade ending basically had her take control of a whole mileena army
