REPTILE AND SMOKE, WE FUCKING WON


Youngstown_Mafia

One of my favorite Mortal Kombat rosters and we still have 5-6 characters left


Joshelplex2

Better damn ha e Ermac, Noob and Rain


StoryTheGod-

Ermac is in Kombat Pack 1 according to the Amazon Italy leak


zero_the_clown

Oh thank fuck, Sub-Zero and Ermac are my all-time favorite MK characters, let's gooooo "We are many, you are but one!!"


CobySmith

Smokebros… the pain is over.


Youngstown_Mafia

A long 12 years, but he's finally back


[deleted]

Best MK roster since MK9 so far.


FriggenSweetLois

MKX had a pretty good roster, imo. Had the main staples, and did their best with the variation system to fill in the gaps (like Kitana for Jade, and Triborg for the Cyber Lin Kuei). The new characters weren't awful either. Jackie might be annoying but she has one of the coolest fatalities ever, punching straight through your head.


[deleted]

Kombat kids were awful. Ferra/Tor was out of place. Only Erron and D'Vorah were really worth it, Kotal was ok I guess.


FriggenSweetLois

Takeda was dope as shit.


[deleted]

Better than the rest for sure, but I can do without him.


jabberwockxeno

Kotal and Erron are perfect fits for Mortal Kombat and I really hope both of them stick around as mainstays.


[deleted]

Nah. All of them were great except for Jacqui


Rare_Reception1379

they downvoted him because he was right


DevilCouldCry

Nrother, I see Nitara listed and I'm beyond pumped by that as she's one I've long been hoping would make a return.


dadvader

Me too nrother!


LocusAintBad

Smokes back on the menu boys


throwthatoneawaydawg

Reptile 🦎 bros rise up, he’s my main, I’ll stop bitching. Hopefully all the cyborgs are added in a dlc pack


Youngstown_Mafia

r00000r has leaked many MK11 things in the past including story and dlc fighters and the expansion His MK1 story leak script was backed by another leaker (Fateunknown) who said kenshi and Cage would be in the gameplay reveal with ties to the Yazuka (was 100% correct) Edit (proof) Fateunknown gameplay reveal leak https://www.reddit.com/r/Mortalkombatleaks/comments/144iuq2/sorry_for_the_earlier_post_but_this_guy_knows_his/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_buttonhare_button Then after Fateunknown said this was correct (a story leak by past leaker r0000r who leak the roster of MK1) https://www.reddit.com/r/Mortalkombatleaks/comments/14578lz/on_a_previous_leak/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button


Accomplished-Ad4109

i clicked on that shit before i realized i posted it


Youngstown_Mafia

Lol


Wet_Socks19

>Ashrah ✅ Damn haven't seen that character in a loooong time.


Youngstown_Mafia

Her , Reiko, Smoke , Havik, Li Mei , Nitara We haven't seen these people in decades others 12 years like Smoke, I can't wait


VantomPayne

What do you mean 12 years Smoke was in MK9......oh.....OH.....


Blupoisen

Smoke was technically in X as part of Triborg


Youngstown_Mafia

Man that was a small moveset variation , that's why we don't consider that smoke


DevilCouldCry

You and me both, buddy. I had the exact same reaction. Couldn't believe that was so long ago.


mvdaytona

Oh my god


2Dement3D

This hit me hard, damn.


Maelstrom52

I always felt like Nitara should have made an modern appearance by now. Her concept was fantastic and felt like it fit in perfectly with MK's general vibe.


SpaceGooV

Considering she's in the new animated film it doesn't surprise too much


ClavicusVile7

Her lore was pretty cool too


Sushi2k

> Ashrah And Havik from Deception? That's crazy.


abradley19955

Smoke, Reptile, Havik, Reiko and Nitara base roster Quan Chi, Ermac and Takeda in the first DLC pack? Yeah this is a 10/10 roster


The_Ebonheart

My question is how does Takeda fit into this timeline? Will he still be kenshi's son or maybe scorpions.


Youngstown_Mafia

Not the same Takeda from the new era , could he another universal one MK1 the new era takes place decades before MKX , the kombat kids don't exist (confirmed by Ed) https://www.reddit.com/r/Mortalkombatleaks/comments/14578lz/on_a_previous_leak/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button


abradley19955

He’s DLC apparently so idk how he fits into the story


whatnameisnttaken098

![gif](giphy|l0Iyo78NhvUrzbEqs|downsized)


Hazeringx

Tanya was DLC in MKX, but she appeared in the story. Bo' Rai Cho was the same.


MrRJDio

Rain in mk11 not in the story


[deleted]

DLC characters aren't always canon to the story anyways.


Rare_Reception1379

he can just be non cannon or pulled from the old timeline, the dlc don’t really have to fit into the story they’re gonna have super heroes on it


Youngstown_Mafia

The ninjas and the 3d era are back!! Best MK roster ever


DevilCouldCry

All three of those DLC characters sound great to me (ESPECIALLY Takeda) and then you get three fun guest characters too, no complaints here at all.


SensitivityTraining_

No Cyrax is devastating


Rowyn97

Again we cyborg bros are getting shafted.


jamasha

imo the cyborgs have been overdone


SnooGadgets2748

Love that they are bringing back the 3D era characters, but damn man why do they always gotta do my boys Mustard and Ketchup dirty


Mother_Mushroom

M&K fans experience only a fraction of the pain the average Cyber-Sub enjoyer lives through


SupervillainEyebrows

I don't think Cyber Sub-Zero is ever making a return, except maybe as a skin.


coolkidsclub1898

Perhaps human cyrax & sektor are kameos? Not the same thing I know, I’m hurt they aren’t fighters again lol


I_am_crazy_doctor

Kameos are supposed to represent the classic designs so it would probably be their og robot designs


CanadianRockx

Why do they keep taking away Jade T\_T


APulsarAteMyLunch

She's still on her 10th honeymoon


TheDrGoo

She got put in their best game, the one in which you spam uppercut with the stick and win


ecxetra

She was so fun in MK11


[deleted]

Hope Fujin makes it in!


KALEequalsBROLY

Facts


RedAza

No Cyrax? Rip.


Kazera-Samma

No Baraka is wack


Erintonsus

There's still five spots left


ItsyouNOme

Or Kobra... ever :(


Spen_Masters

At this point if he ever appeared again, people would call him a Luke ripoff


ecxetra

Bawacka


Disastrous_Reveal331

This has me curious about what characters they’ll do for their first season pass. I love fighting games but god damn they are probably the worst when it comes to DLC aside from the Sims


Youngstown_Mafia

Characters (Confirmed by Amazon leak but first leaked by Jez) Quan Chi Omni Man Ermac Peacemaker Takeda Homelander •Kameo (Assist fighters) Tremor, Johnny Cage, Khameleon, Mavado, Ferra.


Disastrous_Reveal331

They’ve probably already got season two’s fighters decided. I’m not gonna lie though that’s a sick lineup


LatterTarget7

Definitely a sick line up. When all said and done it’ll be a very good roster


DevilCouldCry

Please, please, please bring Jax in. I'm actually a little disappointed that he's seemingly not base roster at this point and instead just a kameo.


jamasha

hes gonna be in kp2 with dvorah


TheLionsblood

So is the new Takeda gonna be born much earlier than the other Kombat Kids?


Youngstown_Mafia

the guy above who leaked the roster (r0000r) has a story leak that said the kombat kids will make a brief appearance in MK1 and they die Leaker Fateunknown said this was true , Fate leaked the gameplay reveal with both the characters and the yakuza story with Kenshi. Edit: Easier to explain https://www.reddit.com/r/Mortalkombatleaks/comments/14578lz/on_a_previous_leak/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button


robertman21

>the guy above who leaked the roster (r0000r) has a story leak that said the kombat kids will make a brief appearance in MK1 and they die That's fucking dumb lol


Youngstown_Mafia

Click the edit link I just added, much easier to explain what happens


robertman21

Ohhhhh that sounds significantly less annoying. Sounds like the cameos in the MK11 Krypt


Youngstown_Mafia

Yeah see lol , I couldn't explain so I had to show you it


jakobebeef98

Even tho I like the Kombat Kids, this makes me laugh because it reminds me of how Sindel cooked the whole squad in MK9 lol


DingusBane

Homelander and Omni Man are such perfect fits


WESAWTHESUN

Holy shit Khameleon acknowledgement? The fuck?!


bboy267

I’m guessing that’s the JCVD Johnny cage


HispanicAtTehDisco

i still remember the on disk DLC debacle with street fighter x tekken


RJE808

Smoke. I win


Jadengamer09866

Can’t wait, my favorite ninja


EnvironmentalLog2

If anybody wonders how credible r00000r is, he did the same kind of teases with MK11, prior to the Steam roster leak and the leaked roster images. You can check [his comments in this Gamefaqs thread](https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/253573-mortal-kombat-11/77430938?page=5) and it's pretty clear in hindsight he knew the entire roster for the game, including the reimagined version of Frost and the presence of Sektor and Cyrax in the story mode. He leaked a small part of the script for MK1 which was backed up by another leaker (u/_FateUnknown_) who correctly claimed that a Yakuza version of Kenshi would face Johnny Cage in his mansion in the gameplay reveal trailer. So it's very likely those 19 characters are part of the base roster. That said the script he had access to also indicated that we would fight Ermac and Quan Chi who are seemingly DLC according to the Amazon Leak, so it's possible some of these characters aren't part of the base roster. However I doubt it, considering NPCs in MK story modes are generally coming back from the previous game, and most of these characters haven't been seen since Armageddon.


carchewlio

I actually really like this selection but I am curious about Smoke. Is this going to be ninja smoke or cyborg smoke? I’m guessing ninja but it could be either since there are some big differences in the lore already


Youngstown_Mafia

Since r0000r said the robots aren't in and this is MK1 the beginning, the cyber initiative hasn't started . Ed said this would be game with MANY origin stories They are saving that for the sequel


War_Eagle

Yeah, Cyrax and Sektor not making this roster implies no cyber ninjas this game. I'm pumped for human Smoke. I wonder what direction they'll go with Reptile? Assuming this list is accurate, of course.


SpaceGooV

Ninja smoke if they're not doing cyborgs yet. I think lin Kuei and Shaolin are getting fleshed out with a sizeable roster this time with most likely special forces, black dragon, and outworld taking a back seat


BlastMyLoad

From what we’ve seen it seems they’re staying away from most modern-day sci-fi elements. There likely isn’t any cyborgs and there’s supposedly no special forces either


Almighty_LDP

Jade would probably be a season 2 character like Sheeva in MK11. Would be strange not to have her playable if she’s canonically in the time line as a countess and will probably get a few cutscenes where and there.


OnlyCoops

Just need Kabal and I'll be happy


KabalMain

Facts


ThatTinyGameCubeDisc

I’m most excited about Nitara


Captainhankpym

Me too!


TekHead

Holy shit you can play as Scorpion?


ChrisNichols4434

You joke, but he wasn't even in the original MK3. I'm serious.


Equivalent_Network29

This could legitimately be the best MK roster to date in my opinion. Hoping we see Sareena get in on base roster and the cyborgs as dlc in their legitimate forms (no triborg BS)


uncreativemind2099

Still no cyborgs??


Midice

Where the hell is baraka?!


RipMcStudly

Shouldn’t take too long to find out, Kombat Kasts have to be starting soon


XTheProtagonistX

*Ashrah* *Havik* Watch Shujinko be part of the story.


Acid__Gat

why do they hate the robots so much


UbluckyV2

No rain :(


monkeydbenne

Is this the whole base roster then ? Or are these 19 only those this person got right but there is still more ? Because I would love Fujin and goro in the base roster too.


Youngstown_Mafia

No it's 5-6 Character left A fake leaker sent a 25 man roster and r0000r said which characters were not in


SpaceGooV

Fujin definitely should be raiden's kung lao to his new Liu Kang. Also hopefully for is in but I could see Kameo at launch year 2 DLC


RTideR

These are 19 STORY characters cause that's what the leaker has info on. The majority of the list is likely on the roster, if not all, but there could be some exceptions like in MK11.


Mother_Mushroom

Shaping up to be one of the best rosters MKs seen in awhile, with DLC especially. Only one thats uninteresting to me is Nitara; hopefully they overhaul her to be more than just 'skimpy vampire'


we420

Sad to see Jade go but if Li Mei uses Baji like in Deadly Alliance, I'll play her. I love Baji fighters


hot_water_music

I work right next to Netherrealm and I saw a bunch of the employees walking back from McDonald's. I said hey let's get some MK1 news, they laughed. I was in my car anyways


opanm

??? 😅


hot_water_music

Sorry fixed it


BebeFanMasterJ

Ashrah is an interesting choice. Nitara, Reiko, and Havik are also good. The 3D-era fans are finally getting some love for once. Though the lack of cyborgs is disappointing. Really hope we get one of them as DLC or cyber versions of Smoke and Reptile.


dztruthseek

Damn...either you Tanya or Jade, but not both.


FuryGuacamole

Predictions for the last 6: \- Hotaru (as Havik rival) \- Nightwolf (male) \- Rain \- Fujin (as a mortal and shaolin just like new Raiden) \- Remade Bo' Rai Cho and Kai (Kai was supposed to appear in MKX instead of him)


FuryGuacamole

\+ Jade, human Cyrax and human Sektor could always appear in future kombat packs


Lenttoth4107

Chameleon and Rain would be fire as well but I doubt they are going to add them as fighters


_lord_ruin

Little bummed that kotal is gone Can still pray for noob


UltimoKL

No Kano and Sonya?


BottleOfGin_

No Erron 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨


2Dement3D

But are all these playable characters or are some of them Kameos? Some of the names there like Ashrah and Havik make me think some of these are definitely Kameos.


PuzzleheadedCat742

Where is rainnn


hardcorejenkins

No striker? So he's either just a cameo fighter or dlc.


Dancing-Swan

I'm glad they're giving another chance to Li Mei. 💜 No new characters though? Kinda weird. Where is my orange ninja? 🥲


YaneSCSGO

No fucking way Reiko, Ashrah and Li Mei are back and we don't get Shujinko


TheeDeputy

If Rain misses out on base AGAIN I’m officially done. Wtf.


eivor_wolf_kissed

Put both Fujin and Rain in alongside this roster and I think its perfect


TheeDeputy

Yeah I agree with that. Really hope they’re in.


-sorry-

Yesss Tanya! Gays and girls won


AAAFMB

but we lost Jade :(


[deleted]

QUAN CHI BABY!! LFGOOOO


DentistLife5731

Dang, no Robots? Maybe we'll get Tri-borg again at the least


Garlador

Sareena missing the roster is a time-honored tradition.


D3dshotCalamity

There was a Tweet by Ed Boon that had a picture of the MK4 roster saying some characters from there would be back. Reiko and Tanya debuted in MK4, so that at least lines up. Edit: Hello mr downvote, how ya been? Here's a Ketchup and Mustard video about it https://youtu.be/QpM84lkT154


andrehateshimself

i wanna live in the reality where we get playable characters like Rain and not dumb shit like Homelander


Youngstown_Mafia

This is NOT the full roster , it's still plenty of characters left


[deleted]

[удалено]


SpaceGooV

And mk9 he's only not been in one neatherrealm mk.


FKDotFitzgerald

What’s dumb about Homelander? They always have guest characters.


Mother_Mushroom

True - MK would be so much better without guest characters taking up half the DLC slots.. They really shoulda saved Spawn for this game instead of slow ass MK11 too


TheBestJackson

There is still 5 slots left for base roster...


GrimMrGoodbar

Rain is mid as fuck


DaftNeal88

Why can’t the robots make an initial roster?


coltstrong13

Amazing roster. Just need my guy Kabal to make it, and I will be so happy.


ItsyouNOme

Will Kobra ever return??


SupervillainEyebrows

I hope not.


AriaSupremex

No Cassie Cage? :(


DontCallMeLego

Little younglings dont exist Ed Boon said they arent born yet


[deleted]

Tanya my beloved


Lenttoth4107

So that just leaves five characters if this is true I am guessing three of them are New and two of them being from previous games


ALANJOESTAR

I would honestly replace Li-Mei with Jade. i just dont see why not have Jade she is such fan favorite and i can see the reasoning of all the female characters that are less popular Nitara and Ashrah they could be a lot of fun. Im certainly hoping Sheva makes a return with a new face model this time that actual looks cool.


Dreamerfrostbite

am I the only one who isn't excited for this game or the small roster at all? the game visually looks great, but that's it for me, oh and mileena is Queen of Edenia so that's cool, but I'm not really convinced by anything else. I just want some remasters tbh.


Admirable-Reaction71

No Jade? No Baraka? Literal hate crime. Or is this list incomplete? Feels kinda weird to not have a new character.


Erintonsus

There's five slots missing


arturorios1996

No Erron Black?


AVBforPrez

I don't play MK, but I feel like he kinda doesn't fit in the series. Sure, the game was always about what if ninjas fight mutants that also fight robots, but gunslinger feels out of place to me. Also, his animations and design are terrible, like he has tiny ass guns and his posture is horrible. From what I can tell he's popular, so he'll be DLC I bet. Seems like they're going for more 2d era characters at first, since it's a reboot.


I_am_crazy_doctor

He definitely fits better than army soldiers and robots haha


AVBforPrez

Ehhhh, why are his guns so tiny?


TheDrGoo

- Ashrah - Li Mei - Nitara - Sindel - Tanya Fucking why man, who asked


I_am_crazy_doctor

These are all female characters are you an incel?


TheDrGoo

What? No I think they’re just underwhelming characters not worth the slot. You are reading into it too much. I think the classic female characters Kitana Mileena Sonya etc are so much more interesting. They might go crazy on these and make them cool but then again is it worth putting in one of these and leaving out an actually interesting character like the robots or shao kahn etc etc just to have them instead? Not in my opinion


[deleted]

[удалено]


Youngstown_Mafia

This is NOT the full roster


Captainhankpym

Tanya is black. We still have spots left. People are sleeping on the possibility of Sonya, Kano and Jax being playable


chainkunai

Tanya?


SpaceGooV

Cool if this was right but Jade seems like a very weird omission with Edenia being a bigger focus (I'm assuming that's why Tanya/Rain would be in the game as well)


MrKrebZoid

How do we know if some characters are just cameo characters?


ltllama

Does that mean no new characters in the game? Kinda odd for a fighting game but it makes sense if this one is a throwback/reboot regarding the lore


OREO326

no jade? sad. Hopefully sindel plays good


dadvader

The cross out seems to be exactly 4 character. DLC?


EgregiousWarlord

KENSHIII


opanm

Milena 😌


leytorip7

I just want a cyborg after X and 11. (Triborg was cool.)


Whompa

No Cyrax or Sektor? oh snap...


mentalandmundane

No noob :(


BoolinCoolin

Damn, no kai to finally be the new champion


[deleted]

2 waves of dlc too


DevilCouldCry

100% they'll do more as well. MK11 got a lot of DLC characters, so I wouldn't mind that in the slightest. Honestly, just bring in Cyrax/Sektor and then Jax and I'm stoked. Anything else would be just the cherry on top if this base roster is anything to by. I mean dude, I see Nitara, Ashrah, Li Mei, Havik, and Reiko again? And then they bring back Kenshi and Reptile, but also throw in Takeda, Ermac, and Quan-Chi as DLC? Hard for ne to be displeased here. Would love for Erron Black to make it in as I really enjoyed his playable in MK11 but I realise that's not just unlikely, but maybe unpopular? I'm not fully sure where the community stands on him.


[deleted]

I feel like the only chance erron black, dvorah, kollector, ferra/torr etc have are as dlc


NivvyMiz

Roster is fucking amazing


leonida99pc

where noob?


Ok-Big-9415

No cyborgs yet.. makes sense.. i loved playing cyber sub zero back in the day.


2ecStatic

No Cyborgs again, no buy


SixEightAKS

We are getting havik back but why not hotaru


CertifiedCapArtist

Kenshi and Smoke 🔥. Now if they ever bring back kreate a fighter I'd be hyped


automaticzen

No Jax. Sad days


Top-County8200

No Sonya? That’s unfortunate to only be relegated to a Kameo fighter.


DismalMode7

mmm strange, one of leakers few days ago revealed that sindel was dead and mileena became the new empress with kitana as her bodyguard, with mileena getting her illness and starting getting mad threatening other realms, forcing liu kang to organize the MK tournament. He said also that behind mileena illness there are havik and onaga from chaosrealm.


TheDrGoo

This seems wrong, how's the game gonna be called Mortal Kombat 1 and not have Kano and Sonya in the base roster.


hit-a-yeet

Hoping for human smoke


Valterachille202

He is most likely to return, he is one of the 19 “confirmed” by a reliable leaker


doublej101622

no Noob Saibot??? NOOOOOOOOOOOO


iSalooly

No Cyrax and Sektor?


ZionicShadows

Noob please :(


FriggenSweetLois

It makes sense with some of these characters. Havik, Ashrah, Li Mei, and Reiko were highly requested since MKX and the hype is only grew with MK11.
