Kabal, Stryker and Nightwolf look exactly the same as MK9 (with Smoke and Sindel using their alternates) while Jade was nowhere to be found (this may or may not be a hint to take that none of the six will be playable) but we know Liu, Kuai, Jax, Lao, and Kitana look totally different from the get-go (and we already know they will be playable).

@Linkmadara: Scorpion uses his MK9 model for chapter 1, and this is obvious with the others I mentioned above. Seems kinda silly they would remodel them to look exactly the same (when you look at wraith Jax, you can pretty much tell the difference and take the hint that he will be playable) and waste the opportunity to make them look different. Plus using the old models saves dev time (and to everyone: no, this is not "being lazy", it's being efficient).

It's obvious by now that Kuai is no longer a cyborg and Liu died from the lightning blast from Raiden. What I would like to know is HOW Chi reverted the cyber treatment (and WHY, because let's be honest, Chi might as well give Jax his old arms back and revert the burns on Kabal so he doesn't have to carry the life-support system around. At least that way it's fair for everyone and it isn't so obvious that they backed down from Cyber SZ because "muh community". Or maybe that was the plan all along, to have both Smoke and Kuai as humans, given that it seems people only want Sektor and Cyrax as cyborgs, but still something doesn't add up) and where Raiden, Sonya, and Cage took Liu's body (probably to the White Lotus temple, but I'm curious anyway). Actually, if you pay attention, you can tell the massive difference in Stryker's face (and perhaps his body structure, not sure). Sindel's model looks cleaner, too, and they did update the rest of the designs in one way or another, small or not.
