Did not care for him....but he was popular for the sole fact that he was a broken character that was able to spam from a distance with next to no recovery to his moves.
so a little dissapointed to see him back taking up a slot that could go to ...Jade , Smoke , Ermac , triborg just any other more interesting characters IMO

-Honestly, I'm not feeling meter for special moves. If that was the case, I'd play Art of Fighting. Then again, it does look nice and looks like fun. -MK's timeline is going to be bullshit like BlazBlue's before this is all over.

Erron Black's name leaked through some files. I hope his brother Aleister is playable.

But this is where the story falls the f*** apart...Chronica is said to have been behind all of this and played out exactly as she wanted....so she wanted the OG timeline to end like it did...in order for this new timeline to exsist? She wanted Armageddon to happen, Raiden undoing it is where she started having a problem. Why she waited like 20 years to do anything, who the hell knows. Given her time travel-y shit, I guess she wasn't exactly in a hurry.

D’Vorah? Oh dear. I was hoping they’d put her in the same category as Darrius, Kai and Hotaru as in characters they brought in as new for one game and never brought back (not counting Armageddon). See, I feel like all of those characters you mentioned are just half-baked enough that you could bring them back and actually do something interesting with them. I'm always in favour of revamping lesser known/loved characters. Also, since we're talking about him, Fun Erron Black Fact: His name is never spoken by another character in Mortal Kombat X. The only time his name is ever said out loud is by the announcer.

I wasn’t that keen on Erron Black. Also, he had one of the weakest fatalities ever.

I wasn’t that keen on Erron Black. Also, he had one of the weakest fatalities ever. Admittedly that is always something you can recover from with the right influence. Good example that comes to mind for me is Sindel, who in MK9 has both one of my favorite (the screaming into the ear) and least favorite (the weird scream-ball that randomly blows them up) Fatalities in the series in the same game. Speaking of, I really want the Selfie Fatality to return in this one - I feel like the idea is clever enough you can pretty much endlessly repurpose it and expand on the joke. Although I've kind of got this sinking suspicion they're going to kill Cassie off and have Sonya as the new hero pissed off and trying to avenge her. Just seems like the dumbest thing they could do so sort of expecting it. Although really I have any trouble seeing any Fatality in this game topping Kabal going full Itchy & Scratchy on people.

Still no Hsu Hao, still shameful. Chinese Guy in a hat is best character I wasn’t that keen on Erron Black. Also, he had one of the weakest fatalities ever.

Hell Quan Chi has the most widely regarded worst Fatality ever with the neck stretch, and hes still around and had much better fatalities later.

Also wouldn't be surprised if Cassie and Jackie are left out since "next generation" characters in fighting games don't tend to last.

I'm kind of thinking they're positioning Sonya as the new hero avenging Cassie getting killed. Which... for a multitude of reasons sounds like an awful idea, if only because I really think of all their attempts to force a central protagonist for this series Cassie's the only time I've actually liked the end result. Liu Kang is boring, Shujinko's an idiot with a nonexistent movepool, Taven's arguably the most bland character in the franchise, and Raiden's only consistent character trait is that he's completely stupid.

Cassie is already in But she is lookin rough That's... sure is something. You'd think at this point Netherrealm would be able to make better models... or at least make people that look at least halfway similar between games. I was saying though most times when they make next gen people in fighting games they don't tend to stick around.

Some more possible names have leaked through the Steam thing.
KUN - Kung Lao or Kung Jin? CAS - Cassie? JAD - Jade? CET - ? FRO - Frost? KOT - Kotal Kahn? JAC - Jacqui? TER - ? KOL - ?
Roster's looking... kind of crap so far to be honest. Only ones of these I'm really into are Cassie and Frost, although by no means opposed to Jade. And in particular I really disliked just about everything about Kotal Kahn - his design's bland, he might be the least fun character to play as in 10 for me, and in terms of the story he's a useless idiot who they seem to be trying to force you to see as super awesome.
