Attack of the Dogs
This name is actually a joke caused by the acronym MK9, which sounds like "em canine". Canine refers to dogs.

Possibly

It could also mean that there might be an Anubis type character as a boss character Kaihedgie 05:10, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

thanks for sharing your opinion. please be here more often

Locked until further notice
This really needs to be locked. People are comin' with unverified, non-cited claims about fighters and console releases. So until some actual official information comes in, the page should be locked to block out speculation as it needs to be kept here in the talk page Kaihedgie 15:24, 8 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Any admins around?  Smoke Sound off! 04:36, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Moving Page
Now that we know the game's real title, do you think we should move/rename the page? CrashBash 00:08, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

I agree. I do believe the official title is "Mortal Kombat". 173.106.252.108 21:58, June 18, 2010 (UTC)

Check this out
In this interview, we get to see a bit of the new combat system.

Also, its always sweet so see Scorpion and Sub-Zero duking it out.

Petition to Lock this Page
I think it would be for the best if this page were locked from unauthorized editor until the information that one wishes to add is discussed in the Talk Page first. There are way too many people updating the "confirmed characters" list pre-emptively, and adding in immature statements. Is there an admin here that can do this?CavalierTunes 17:08, June 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * I think it's quite unecessary, unregistered users have been less present lately. -- BernardWolf  ( talk ) 17:10, June 28, 2010 (UTC)

Li Mei?
Could we get some type of confirmation that that's Li Mei chained up in the trailer? Because it looks a lot more like Kitana to me. ~ LoveWaffle prehaps just a unnamed female used as a placeholder-user:lindsaysbiggestfan
 * In the first trailer we could see a girl looking quite like Li Mei in the background by Shao Khan's throne, although she didn't dress like Mei,so it's unknown. In this picture KitanaChainedKahnsArena.jpg we can cleary see Kitana chained. -- BernardWolf  ( talk ) 16:18, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

This was posted on the kamidogu Twitter. Looks like the same character shown in the image but she uses kitanas fans. Which would mean that beyond any resonable doubt that it is kitana. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFkIxsonD5A --Brotherhood619 18:52, September 13, 2010 (UTC)

←== Charaters who are good but need more publicty ==

I hope Sareena is a character in this game she was very amazing in arameggedon and after being cut from all those games, she deserves to build up publicity.
 * Agree, I like Kira too, she's pretty hot and she looks like she's in that killing world,she would be credit to team. Havik is pretty brutal too. -- BernardWolf  ( talk ) 16:43, July 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think the background charcters are going to be downladable content. I hope so i can be tanya and they should have her neck breaker fatality CAN I TAKE YOUR ORDER
 * Does Rain count as underappreciated? I *loved* him in MKT, and I really like the backstory they gave him. Frozen Rain Orb is my favorite move ever, but with the updates they've made to Rain, I'm thinking it would be cool to see him use some small tornado to manipulate the opponent, which is slightly more realistic than "frozen rain". Would also love to see him use the Lightning Strike move which Nightwolf so blatantly stole!Drpvfx 15:45, November 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Who cares abotu Li Mei? She was pretty useless T'n'A, imho.    I want Sareena and Havik in the new MK, so bad.  Both are such great and underrated characters. I am AnnhilationNation... and I thank you for playing on the DFW. 03:17, January 21, 2011 (UTC) PS: Kobra can just die off permanantly, for all I care.  Let Kira do the job, or Mavado, so he'll have something going for him.

Cyrax and Kano?
This is relevant to my interests. --Nave Ninja 01:05, August 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Wha? Oo -- BernardWolf  ( talk ) 02:45, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

Playstation Magazine
The most recent edit today, made by an IP, suggested that "Playstation Magazine" had information about characters in the game. Of course, I'm suspicious, and thus removed it. I would like to confirm it though....does anyone actually know if this info really was in Playstation Magazine? CrashBash 16:26, August 3, 2010 (UTC)

Leave page alone?
Can we just leave the page alone or at least lock this page until any actual information is released? I'm just suggesting this as it is getting very annoying that this page seems to be having false or unconfirmed information by certain users. Fulgore2005 16:21, August 7, 2010 (UTC)

Kitana's Confirmed
Kitana's been officially confirmed. Click here.

The page is locked, so I can't edit it myself. But now that it's officially confirmed, I'm hoping Smoke. or another moderator will add her. — C a v a l i e r T u n e s  <font color="#e4a700">t <font color="#e2ad00">a <font color="#e0b200">l <font color="#ddb800">k <font face="tempus sans itc"><font color="#dbbd00">t <font color="#d9c300">h <font color="#d7c800">e <font color="#d5ce00">S <font color="#d3d300">u <font color="#d1d900">b <font color="#cfde00">w <font color="#cde400">a <font color="#cbe900">y <font color="#c8ef00">W <font color="#c6f400">a <font color="#c4fa00">l <font color="#c2ff00">l

 * Indeed, Cyrax and Kitana were both shown and I have some GREAT Hi-Rez photos to add to the gallery. --Nave Ninja 14:34, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

 * Touche, Nice finds.Brotherhood619 16:22, August 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Someone with the ability to edit this page should fix the character list. Kitana is stuck at the bottom when the rest of the list is in aplhabetical order, and there are still notes suggesting that she has not yet been confirmed. Sith Alchemy 101 21:25, August 18, 2010 (UTC)

MK9 Fight System
I found out about mk9's new fight system. im glad they made it like Tekken 6.look it up and you will agree.Fablefan243 22:17, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

Well, I ain't complaing. But the Tekken series uses a 3D fighting system. Zombiekiller14 13:56, September 13, 2010 (UTC)

Does someone knows the email of a producer? I've got some great story ideas :pMelf-16 17:24, September 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * They're already writing a story. CrashBash 18:39, September 10, 2010 (UTC)

 * No, not if you're going to try and tell them what to do. They are a well-known video game company. You are, in comparison, a nobody. As are we all. They already got all the help they needed from us, now let them get on with it. CrashBash 15:20, September 11, 2010 (UTC)

Well, Ed Boon's twitter is here, if that's what you're looking for. Official twitter here, as well.Kelsper 13:45, September 11, 2010 (UTC)

Crash, please shut up! I will ask them if they need help. I have some great ideas, and the armageddon endings aren't to call 'great'. they will decide if they use my ideas, not you :S And Kelsper thanks for the idea, but I don't want others steal my idea's. Melf-16 17:10, September 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Don't you dare tell me to shut up. Or anyone. CrashBash 19:22, September 11, 2010 (UTC)

Melf, even if someone had the producers email address, they will have probably been given it in confidence. Which means they won't give it out to anyone to stop the account being spammed and then ignored. IF you still want to procede find the companies corprate pages and send them what you have by post. They may consider buying some freelance work. As for getting an email address, you'd have better chances on the lottery.--Brotherhood619 16:19, September 12, 2010 (UTC)

Stage and Stage Fatality Suggestions
If anyone know a stage that may return to MK 2011, fell free to leave a message here.

I hope they'll have the Subway returning, but with a different stage fatality. In my Subway stage fatality suggestion, the winner in a match will throw the defeated opponent to the background of the stage, the defeated opponent lands on the tracks, stuggling to getting up, then a train appears and hits the defeated opponent, sending his/her body parts and blood flying everywhere, except for his/her torso. Zombiekiller14 12:56, September 13, 2010 (UTC)

You know, they should add the Soul Chamber to the list of confirmed stages. The Soul Chamber was on MK3, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, Mortal Kombat Trilogy, Mortal Kombat Gold, and Mortal Kombat: Armageddon. I think the Soul Chamber should really be on MK 2011. Zombiekiller14 17:29, September 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Then where's the proof? And please sign your name properly. CrashBash 17:54, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

Hey, I'm just making suggestions, CrashBash, you should get used to it. Zombiekiller14 12:01, September 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sign your name PROPERLY please. CrashBash 15:15, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

I did sign my username properly. Gosh! You're starting to sound like my mom. Zombiekiller14 19:11, September 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * You're clearly not, though. Otherwise, there would be a direct link to your userpage, like mine does. Are you SURE you're pressing (~) four times? CrashBash 21:35, September 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * Get off his case, CrashBash. His signature may be set up differently from the default. In any case, if you can tell who wrote the message, it should not be an issue.  Smoke Sound off! 08:06, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

I liked the Kombat Tomb from MK2, especally the stage fatality where you uppercut the defeated opponent to the celling fill of spikes. The Kombat Tomb should really be on MK 2011, but the stage fatality should be different. The winner will uppercut the defeated opponent to the spiked celling, then the opponent will start to slide off the spikes, then land on the ground with a pool of his/her own blood. That would be funny, yet brutal. Zombiekiller14 19:31, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

Title
There have been many speculationos that the game will be actually simply called "Mortal Kombat" This is not official, but it seems likely, because of the reboot thing. Well, I really hope they won't call it Mortal Kombat, because that would be stupid! MK is the first in the series. This is the ninth. They'd better find a good subtitle instead of forcing us to call it MK 2011!--Kombatgod 20:19, September 17, 2010 (UTC)

What about "Mortal Kombat: Redemption"? Zombiekiller14 12:21, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

MK titles are notable for having a reference to the storyline. (Deadly Alliance, Deception and Armageddon for istance), and it is a very good thing since other games usually have stupid titles such as Revenge, Resurrection, Vengeance and so on. Redemption is appropriate, but maybe even too common. By the way I've noticed the site name "themortalkombat.com"... Is it possiple that the game will be called The Mortal Kombat? It would be almost as stupid as calling it Mortal Kombat. Just like The Final Destination or The Fast and The Furious...--Kombatgod 22:18, October 13, 2010 (UTC)

With every day passing it seems more likely they will really call it Mortal Kombat. Why? What's happening to the world?! There's a new Tomb Raider coming out and what will they call it? Tomb Raider. Damn! I hate it! It may sound cool "Yeah let's just call it Mortal Kombat! That's more powerful than having a subtitle!" Yes, it's true, but that's because it should be the title of the FIRST game! Then why having subtitles at all? Why not calling every episode just "Mortal Kombat"? So the list whould be Mortal Kombat (1992); Mortal Kombat (1993); Mortal Kombat (1995) and so on. Maybe the point is that those episodes are new beginnings to their series... But then call them something like "-A New Beginning"! Ok, it sounds unoriginal, but think of it, now every new game or movie has no subtitle while being new episodes, so they technically all have the same subtitle! It would have been the same if in 2004 every game or movie coming out was called "Deception"... Tomb Raider Deception; Batman Deception; Street Fighter Deception... I know the present days are notable for their lack of imagination, but come on! You're not even able to invent a subtitle???--Kombatgod 17:49, December 17, 2010 (UTC)

Sonya Blade Confirmed.
I was watchin Mkast season2 and it was a photo of Sonya( in her MK vs DC attire) vs Scorpion. These leads to the fact that the first lady of fatality is confirmed.

 * Good catch, N!nj/\ M/\dne$. However, since it was not an official confirmation, it must be included as an update to the line reading "Dana Lyn Baron, Sonya's most recent voice actress, confirmed that she lent her voice to the character once again.[8] This, however has yet to be confirmed by any official sources," (which I am now updating).

Playstation Magazine confirms Kang, Kano, Sonya, Jax and Smoke?
According to this webpage
 * http://playstationlifestyle.net/2010/08/14/7-more-mortal-kombatants-line-up-to-fight/

The official Playstation magazine has confirmed the following characters:
 * Liu Kang
 * Kitana
 * Kano
 * Sonya
 * Jax
 * Cyrax
 * Smoke

Has anyone seen this article in the actual magazine? --Brotherhood619 13:35, September 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Good question, Brotherhood619, but this question has already been answered. On a debate on this talk page, on my talk page, and on a moderator's talk page. The consensus was that the information was unreliable. And, despite the fact that all (or at least most) of those characters will probably make it into the game, until we have official confirmation, we cannot include them on our wiki. Thanks, though!

Sareena,Skarlet,or Alternate Female Costume.
Ed Boon himself rallied the cause via his Twitter account, promising to confirm a character or give a new screenshot. Today, he posted a small portion of this said character. The image shows the leg of what looks to be a female character, weaing a red boot and what appears to be a draping cloth with black markings. We can only guess at this character at this point. Initially, this leg seems to most closely match Sareena, a character introduced in Mortal Kombat: Mythologies: Sub-Zero, a game chronologically occurring prior to this game's storyline. A recent Shaun Himmerick interview hinted that rumored characters could become a reality in this game, leaving a possibility for a red version of Kitana and Mileena rumored in Mortal Kombat II going by the name of Skarlet (among other nicknames). Either of these characters would be our first taste of something that was not in the 2D games, so it is possible this could be a redesigned Mortal Kombat 3 character such as Sindel or perhaps an alternate costume of some sort for Mileena or Kitana. Go to http://www.mortalkombatonline.com/content/News/read.cds?article=1265 to see what im talking about because they're not letting me get the image on there.

 * Not necessarily. Pictures of Onaga could be found on the Mortal Kombat: Deception website, and he wasn't playable.  And, even if that was the case, it's still not proof.  He might be playable, he might not.  There's no official word on the matter.  Just because he's on the official website doesn't mean he's playable and not, for instance, the boss of the game itself.  Also, please spellcheck (and grammar-check) your future posts for my and others' reading conveniences.

Just Pointing Out from Lwgoslayer10
If this is the original sub zero (classic sub-zero)in the game,than his younger brother should be playable with a different fatality.downloadable characters could be people whose models are in this game.there could also be 3 costumes(default,alt. 1,& alt. 2).more character should be introduced!yhey could make an orange ninja and make trermor playable.

none of this was actually confirmed,just assumption or hope.

The full picture of the unknown girl's leg,that Ed Boon has posted is here

 * So it is Sareena! Yay! She's my favourite female character!...


 * Wait a minute... Why does the rest of the image look drawn so differently than the leg? Oh, I'm sure it's just me!--Kombatgod 23:34, October 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * Most artwork looks that way my friend(Hangingmanpeter0 23:36, October 18, 2010 (UTC))


 * No, I'm sorry. That's an unofficial render. The quality is very different. It hasn't been covered by any of the major MK news sites. And, Ed Boon didn't update it to his twitter.

Possible Characters
There are some characters that we just know will be here-Sonya, Liu Kang, Kano, Jax and the like. Some are more ambiguous. The Jades, the Kabals, the Ermacs...the characters that may or may not be in it. Some, like Sheeva, I just really doubt will be in it. Will Rain be in it? Kintaro? Who knows. Will there be new characters? Hmm. Really hoping for Kabal, he's one of my favorite characters unconfirmed. So, let's talk about who we think will be in it, and who won't be.Dontfearthereaper777 01:00, October 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * The twenty-six I believe will be playable:
 * Scorpion
 * Kung Lao
 * the original Sub-Zero
 * Nightwolf
 * Mileena
 * Sektor
 * Reptile
 * Johnny Cage
 * Kitana
 * Cyrax
 * Raiden
 * Shang Tsung
 * Kano
 * Smoke, in human form
 * Jade
 * Sonya
 * Jax
 * Liu Kang
 * Sindel
 * Ermac
 * Kabal
 * Baraka
 * Sheeva
 * Quan Chi (who I believe will be the only post-MK3 character in the game)
 * A Previously Rumored Character, possibly &quot;Skarlet&quot;
 * A New Character
 * I also believe that Shao Kahn will be the boss and Goro will be the sub-boss.
 * However, we'll find out next year, now won't we. 01:47, October 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * CT, if there's any validity behind those leaked sound files, you are *damn* close!
 * Especially good call on Quan Chi. Though if those are right, Noob and Stryker would need to be on the list,
 * perhaps in place of Jade and Sheeva? And perhaps Kratos is the only "new" character? Guess we'll find out...Drpvfx 20:06, December 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * perhaps in place of Jade and Sheeva? And perhaps Kratos is the only "new" character? Guess we'll find out...Drpvfx 20:06, December 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well here's who I think is going to be here, assuming there will be 26:
 * Confirmed:
 * Confirmed:


 * 1.Scorpion
 * 2. Sub-Zero
 * 3. Mileena
 * 4. Nightwolf
 * 5. Kung Lao
 * 6. Reptile
 * 7. Johnny Cage
 * 8. Sektor
 * 9. Cyrax
 * 10. Kitana
 * 11. Raiden
 * 12. Shao Kahn (playability questionable)
 * 13. Jax
 * 14. Sonya (maybe confirmed, but she'll be in the game anyway)
 * Will be in the game, confirmed or not:
 * 15. Liu Kang
 * 16. Shang Tsung
 * 17. Kano
 * 18. Goro ( I think he is almost a given boss character, and likely to be playable), as well as Kintaro and Motaro. The latter two are less likely to appear, and if they do, are less likely to be playable
 * Probably be in it:
 * 19. Baraka
 * 20. Jade
 * 21. Smoke (human or not)
 * 22. Noob Saibot (Sub-Zero could die halfway through the storyline, and Noob could come. Meanwhile, here comes young Sub Zero with the same moveset as the first, just with a different costume)
 * 23.Ermac


 * The debatables


 * 24. Sindel


 * 25. Kabal (please)


 * 26:


 * Stryker, Rain, Quan Chi (possible), New character?, or maybe Motaro. I think Kintaro we might fight, but he could just be a powered up Goro costume with a couple differences




 * Most likely will not be in it


 * C/Khameleon


 * Sheeva


 * I agree with your rationale for Noob's inclusion. We know the game takes place during the timeline of MK1 to MK3, and Noob is part of this timeline. I also don't think you need to worry about Kabal- I feel certain he will be included. Drpvfx 15:59, November 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Dontfearthereaper777 20:32, November 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah it's too early to be thinking about new kharacters,now since MK HD is koming that shall keep us busy. (Hangingmanpeter0 03:17, October 25, 2010 (UTC))
 * I'm personally hoping and praying for the entire MKT cast minus the bosses (though Kahn seems to imply that's a bust). Specifically, I *want* my beloved Rain with the return of his Frozen Rain Orb, and I'd also really dig Ermac and Noob Saibot (shadow version, not original Sub-Zero). Ermac seems a given, Saibot likely, but Rain perhaps unlikely. His presence in the background of the Cathedral would seem to be a bad sign, though it may not be definitive. This makes me a sad panda, but maybe they will pleasantly surprise me here. Also wouldn't mind Jade, Sindel, and Baraka. Drpvfx 19:37, November 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Drpvfx, I doubt we'll be seeing the entire Mortal Kombat Trilogy cast in the new game, specifically because there has never been a new Mortal Kombat video game that didn't include at least two new characters (not including updates). Furthermore, Ed Boon recently implied that there might not even be 26 initially playable characters anymore. That being said, I think Rain has just a good a chance as many other pre-MK4 characters. However, I really don't think we'll be seeing Noob Saibot except (maybe) as an alternate costume to Sub-Zero; because including him would mean having the same character twice (since the Sub-Zero in the game has been confirmed to be the original Sub-Zero). Ermac, I think, has a wonderful chance of making it into the game (and I hope he does). 17:46, November 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * They need to have Noob Saibot as a secret costume for Sub-Zero. Something like: select Sub-Zero, then press "Play as Noob Saibot" Nathan900130 19:34 November 5 2010 (UTC)
 * I hope IF Noob-Saibot is in the game, that he has his own ending, and that he isn't corrupted this time.
 * (Tag-Team with his younger brother XD ) Melf-16 14:02, November 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * I doubt the younger Sub-Zero will be in the game. Two Sub-Zeros will be a more than a little excessive. 15:44, November 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * As Raiden once said "I don't think so" (Hangingmanpeter0 19:56, November 6, 2010 (UTC))
 * Why? I mean, they can make a 'new' story: Sub-Zero vs Scorpion, and that Noob-Saibot also is involved. He tells them the truth, and all 3 vs Quan Chi XD Melf-16 13:40, November 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * OK, gathering up all the information we've had so far, taking every character that has even been marginily hinted, and assuming all said characters are playable (so these are both big "ifs"), the current list comes to this....
 * Scorpion
 * Mileena
 * Reptile
 * Sub-Zero (as of yet unknown which one it is)
 * Kung Lao
 * Johnny Cage
 * Nightwolf
 * Sektor
 * Cyrax
 * Kitana
 * Raiden
 * Shao Kahn
 * Jax
 * Sonya
 * Shang Tsung
 * Kano
 * Liu Kang
 * Smoke (if he is in it, it'd be interesting to see which version they use)
 * Ermac
 * Stryker
 * Goro
 * Ermac
 * Stryker
 * Goro

Now assuming that all these characters will be playable AND they do have 26 characters, that leaves us with five more characters (four if you don't count the mystery female). I hope Baraka and Kabal are in it, I will say that. CrashBash 23:32, November 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * With new information, there are updates to the character list. We must take into consideration that some characters may not occupy regular spaces. The following are the characters that are guaranteed to occupy one of the initial 26 spaces.
 * 1.Scorpion
 * 2. Sub-Zero
 * 3. Johnny Cage
 * 4. Mileena
 * 5. Nightwolf
 * 6. Sektor
 * 7. Kung Lao
 * 8. Reptile
 * 9. Kitana
 * 10. Cyrax
 * 11. Jax
 * 12. Sonya
 * 13. Sindel
 * 14.Ermac
 * 15. Raiden
 * 16. Jade
 * 17. Liu Kang
 * (Unofficially Confirmed)
 * 18. Kabal
 * 19. Stryker
 * 20. Quan Chi
 * 21. Baraka (can be ascertaind by appearance in IGN X Ray video)
 * (Characters that'll be in it no matter what)
 * 22. Shang Tsung (this is starting to get sketchy)
 * 23. Kano
 * Now we have the characters that are confirmed or kinda confirmed but may not occupy a regular spot, as they are extras, bosses, secret characters, etc.
 * Goro
 * Shao Kahn
 * Smoke
 * Noob Saibot (both smoke and Noob'll probably occupy one of the normal spaces, but I'll em here in case)
 * Kratos
 * Now one must ask the difficult questions. Will Kintaro and Motaro appear? If so, playable? If so, will they be in one of the 26 spots? Will there be a new female character? Will there be an Xbox exclusive character? If any of the 5 characters that possibly won't occupy a regular space don't, the there is a waiting list of sorts for characters to get in. Baraka, Rain, an unnamed female, these are the possibilities. Then there's that troubling Sektor Human voice clip... Like I've said before, I really doubt Sheeva will be in this. Well, if this doesn't prove that I have too much time on my hands, I don't know what will. Dontfearthereaper777 02:22, January 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm not so sure that Liu Kang will be in the game "no matter what." I think he would've been confirmed by now. And I doubt we'll be seeing Kintaro or Motaro. I also think that Smoke and Noob Saibot will be playable, not secret. Which (if my math is correct) leaves us with 22 playable characters (not including Kratos). My guess as to the remaining four: Jade, Sheeva, and two new characters. But we'll see, now won't we… 04:22, January 3, 2011 (UTC)

Possible new character
There was a character that wasn't confirmed yet, where Hans Lo was interviewed. behind Hans Lo was what appeared to be a ladder where it showed Mileena vs Jax, above Jax was a unconfirmed character that looks like a female character. I think it is Sonya. I don't know if you people want to confirm her right now but I would like to add her though. I think we should just wait until they officially confirm her.12.129.139.239 21:55, November 8, 2010 (UTC)

Sonya
Should Sonya be added to list of confermed characters? She was in the GTTV episode that confermed Jax though she wasn't in any gameplay.

Nobody knows yet,till then leave her out till we get more info..(Hangingmanpeter0 08:33, November 12, 2010 (UTC))
 * I don't know, I'd rather wait until they actually confirm her. Ed Boon and all of them must have not noticed Sonya there and did not want anyone to know about her confirmation. I want to confirm her but I know CT or anyone else is going to take her back off.12.129.139.239 19:07, November 11, 2010 (UTC)

And, as a special favor to you, since (for whatever reason) you're having trouble seeing the gallery (which to me sounds like you need to update the software on your computer), below I've posted all the images from the gallery.

Noob Saibot in MK9
From the official MK9 website's bio of Sub-Zero:

"An assassin of the Lin Kuei clan, Kuai Liang commands the power of ice and cold. Unlike other members of his clan, he and his older brother, Bi-Han, were abducted as children by the Lin Kuei and trained in the techniques of assassination throughout their lives. Though his codename is Tundra, he has now assumed the mantle of Sub-Zero to honor his brother after Bi-Han's mysterious death. Sub-Zero tirelessly hunts the one who killed his brother. "

I know I read somewhere that MK9's Sub Zero was "confirmed" to be the older brother (Noob Saibot),

but here is an official source which now contradicts that claim.

Perhaps this is to allow for Noob's inclusion as a separate character in MK9?

After this and the leaked sound files, I'm fairly certain Noob will be a playable character!

He could just be a secret opponent like in MK2 and MK3, but he's quite popular,

so I'd put my money on one of those 26 squares belonging to Noob Saibot,

the undead shadow ninja!

Now I'm curious as to what kind of moves he will have-

will he be more like his MKT incarnation, or more like MK:A?

Or, perhaps more likely, a hybrid of the two with moves from both?

Would it be asking too much for him to have *both* the Disabler *and* the Black Hole (evil chuckle)?

mortal kombat team modes.
I would like to se an expansion of the tag mode, possibly a 4vs4 team mode something like MKT's 2vs2 or basically like the snes version of mk2 with the secret 4 vs 4 , i really would like to see something like that in this game. It is a mode that i feel is very underated and one that's barely discussed. A lot of people enjoy this mode aside from tournament matches these modes are fun to the casual gamer and non-mk players, MKT trilogy was a hit just for the fact of the 2v2 with my friends especially. I suppose we have a "tag-team" and mode that's a start. As far as my signature goes, well i do not have one ? I may offend some for posting without any credentials, though i am just harmlessly voicing an opinion to a mode that never receives the attention it deserves (in my opinion that is)

Antonio ...

Character Roster
With recent leaks, it would seem the "final" character roster is close, with much less room for speculation than there was a month ago...

Fully confirmed playable:

1. Scorpion

2. Sub-Zero

3. Johnny Cage

4. Sonya

5. Jax

6. Reptile

7. Cyrax

8. Sektor

9. Ermac

10. Kratos

11. Sindel

12. Kitana

13. Mileena

14. Kung Lao

15. Nightwolf

Confirmed but still unseen in play:

16. Kano

17. Shang Tsung

18. Raiden

19. Goro ***

20. Shao Kahn ***

Not confirmed, but likely if audio leaks aren't a trick:

21. Noob Saibot ***

22. Kabal

23. Stryker

24. Smoke (human or cyborg, perhaps both with costumes/codes)

25. Quan Chi

This leaves only one spot open, and though he hasn't been shown, I am 99.99% sure Liu Kang will be playable in the game.

This puts several MKT-era characters on the chopping block, though it's possible that certain characters (marked with a *** above) may not be playable, or playable with a code and not present on the select screen.

This would allow (IMO) at *best*, three unclaimed spaces, which I'm guessing will go to:

1. Mystery Female- though this could be an alternate costume for a known character, it could very well be a new red female ninja.

2. Baraka- I will be surprised and annoyed if Baraka gets left out.

3. Jade (or less likely, Sheeva or Rain).

I have a feeing they will fill in the (non-boss) cast from MKT using DLC, so I'm fairly confident everyone mentioned above will be in the game, whether at the start or downloaded later. Post MKT-characters are a bigger gamble- obviously Quan Chi seems imminent... others could be, as well. Perhaps Tanya, Reiko, Bo' Rai Cho, and Sareena as DLC?

Drpvfx 00:22, December 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Indeed, but I don't believe Kratos will "fill" one of those spots. I think most likely, he'll have his own special spot added in for being a guest character. CrashBash 09:14, December 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * That could definitely be possible... not sure how they'll handle him. Drpvfx 21:45, December 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hey i read in feburary's issuse of Game Informer and it shows both jade and goro in actual gameplay along with artwork and gamplay of goro's lair with goro in 2 pics one vs sub zero in his lair the other vs nightwolf in the subway it goes on to say he isnt playable and also hints that none of the boss characters are including shang tsung but it ever explicitly states if the later is or isnt or even if goro might be playable later anyways i just thought id give you guys a heads up double check it if you want i nearly shit my pants seeing jade for the 1st time in this game only 2 pics one showing her using a perple ninja star against kitana on the rooftop stage the other just a stand alone portrait D3THF15T 01:25, January 14, 2011 (UTC)D3THF15T \m/
 * I was also excited (and a little surprised) to see those pics of Jade. If they add in Tanya as DLC as hinted at, they'll have my four favorite Femme Fatales! It'll be weird if Goro isn't playable- I could see it if Sheeva is in the game, but I'll be pretty surprised if there's no playable Shokan. I have the feeling it will be no Sheeva, and Goro secretly playable, but I obviously don't know for sure. Given Liu Kang and Baraka aren't mentioned as possible DLC characters, I'm fairly certain they'll be in the game. "Mystery Female" could be DLC "new character" hinted at by Boon, or just an alternate costume for a known character. It's getting more interesting as the available slots disappear and the DLC conversation starts up. Drpvfx 20:11, January 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well i still like boss characters to be unplayable but thats not to say if in some way they are i wont use them once or twice but for the most part i like them as really tough NPC's that take time to figure out and stratagize but then again a fight between goro and kintaro would be pretty sweet im not a fan of sheeva (maybe if she had 4 boobs) anyways things are very exciting now we need more gameplay video of these recent reveals i wanna see ermac n kratos moving around along with jade and goro of course i almost forgot about that red clad female leg maybe we will find out soon as for liu kang and baraka they better be in the game otherwise it wouldnt feel right to me atleast robot smoke is DLC hoping that confirms human smoke in game hopfuly playable fingers crossed D3THF15T 20:41, January 14, 2011 (UTC)D3THF15T

The reason he's confirmed is due to some concept art


 * First of all, please remember to sign your name....it says how to do so at the top of the page. Secondly, what concept art? Actually, even if there was concept art, it wouldn't be listed as "proof". CrashBash 22:55, December 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's concept (or koncept) art of his heart rip fatality. Jewl71.169.54.227 04:43, December 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * I've seen the concept art of him looking real scruffy, but I wouldn't call that confirmation. I mean, he's gonna be in it either way, he's Kano, but I just wanted to know maybe if there was an existing screenshot or something.  Dontfearthereaper777 22:44, January 5, 2011 (UTC)

Mortal Kombat IGN board
Word of advice,never use that board they will post rude comments only a few of them are cool,and troll you to death if you ask questions this user called Scorpion4561, at the board is the biggest troll ever,so look out.(Hangingmanpeter0 22:43, January 6, 2011 (UTC))

PC version
I was just reading on the normal wikipedia page, that there was talk about a PC version of the game being released. Is this just speculation or is it confirmed anywhere one will be release? and anyword on whether it will be on time with the console, or much later?

I don't own any consoles, and hope to not have to buy an xbox to play this game.....but I will if needed! I have been against them because I do not like the idea of releasing a game and charging for DLC later, but in this instance I will be buying every DLC character possible...even if they go Armeggodn and I end up paying for 50 more of them..ha.

DLC content
Ed Boon posted this earlier on his twitter:

"Seriously guys. Tell me your order of preference for a DLC character. Rain, Shinnok, Kenshi, Robo-smoke, or new character?"

"Ooops...forgot one. Or Tanya. "

http://twitter.com/NOOBDE

( I hope he goes for either Rain - MK3 look not that Armageddon "I'm a prince look"- or Kenshi and makes smoke appear in his human mode) Kuro Selas 11:00, January 11, 2011 (UTC)

MKT Rain, no question!

Tanya is an easy second for me, and I've always thought Shinnok had a lot of untapped potential.

This makes me a little sad, as it confirms Rain won't be in the game, initially. Also seems to confirm "normal"

Smoke is human in the game. I get the feeling we'll see all of these characters- it's just a matter of what order! ;-) Drpvfx 17:51, January 12, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah I think they will all appear and it's going to be a matter of order. But that confirms they're not going to be initially in the game and will only appear as DLC. Kuro Selas 18:55, January 12, 2011 (UTC)

I felt this tweet was relevant enough to the game to add it to the front page. Props to you for mentioning this! Drpvfx 05:27, January 13, 2011 (UTC)

arenas????
76.1.4.55 00:56, January 14, 2011 (UTC)if they have an arena for practically every characters "element" why dont they make sparta or mount olympus for kratos personally i think that would be a damn good layout... like sparta have the 300 fighting persia and liunitus sitting in the chair instead or olympus have the gods as spectators and Zeus in the chair.. that would be pretty amazing

ues in the chair... that would be amazing

Kratos...
if Kratos is confirmed what kind of moves will he have like will they be the same as the gowt? if they are will they be the same controls? or will he have those move and more like his own fatalities like on gow1 where you can grab someone and rip them in half or snap their neck or use the blades of kaos to slice him in half or cut his head off or do a simple kill like stab it through his face...76.1.4.55 01:31, January 14, 2011 (UTC)

I imagine the moves would be simular to the two 2D fights frim GoW II and III as far as fatalities go its possible they would us some version of his regular fatality-esc moves but they might also resemble his more elaborate boss finishers like the head rip or the possidon finisher ill bet at least one of his fatalities will end with the O button it would be fuy if it appears over the characters head 1st also in my latest issuse of game informer it states his stage has the most elaborate stage fatality yet but they wont say what the stage is D3THF15T 01:51, January 14, 2011 (UTC)D3THF15T

Acording to Ed Boon's twitter Kratos fatality is N.A.S.T.Y.

Just hope he rips the enemies appart like he does in GoW and doesn't rely to much on the swords, because that would give him a huge advantage, bet his going to have a move similar to Scorpion's spear. Kuro Selas 12:19, January 15, 2011 (UTC)

Well kratos already has a graple hook move that pulls both him and the victim together like a charge/dash so thats probly what they will use as opposed to copying scorpion's trade mark move like so many other characters have over the years as for the swords it looks like he will use them alot but im sure they will balance them in with the rest of the characters i wanna see his x-ray move i bet that will be nasty as well \m/ D3THF15T 00:09, January 16, 2011 (UTC)D3THF15T

As long as Kratos gets to use Poseidon's Rage from GoW1 (like he did on Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny) "I WILL MAKE YOU SUFFER!" I am AnnhilationNation... and I thank you for playing on the DFW. 03:10, January 21, 2011 (UTC)

idk bout possidon's rage mybe that magic he has at the begining of GoWIII the blue tornado caused by the blade of olympus since they are using GoWIII kratos unlike broken destiny which used GoWII kratos even tho possidon's rage is classic i doubt it will make it in MK but it would be sweet D3THF15T 04:28, January 21, 2011 (UTC)D3THF15T

Hmm, if it's GoW3 Kratos, then I expect a flashbang type of move with Helios' Head, then, lol I am AnnhilationNation... and I thank you for playing on the DFW. 06:06, January 21, 2011 (UTC)

Well its possible but would that mean we should expect a flaming bow attack as well or maybe even special moves for each of his wepons close rannge cestus moves then soul summoning with the claws of hades then he shoots blasts out of the nemisis whip or maybe he doesnt have any of this and just uses his standard blades... alot either way i cant wait to see actual gameplay of him soon D3THF15T 06:40, January 21, 2011 (UTC)D3THF15T

Finish Him Carlos
Ed Boon posted this fatality on his twitter:

Along with the phrase:

Tag Team Feature
I had a question that formed right when I saw a screenshot depicting Kung Lao's Hat Throw: Is there going to be a tag teaming feature available in the game when it's released? I hope there is, because I find that a cool (and useful) feature. Torq95 02:07, January 21, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah i think they have stated that already. what pic of kung lao where you lookin at btw? D3THF15T 02:43, January 21, 2011 (UTC)D3THF15T

Tag Team is in the game. I'm guessing you're talking about the pic of Cage and Kung Lao with other characters listed below their life bars? There's also that earlier pic of Sektor and Mileena tag-teaming Johnny Cage (#26 in the gallery). Drpvfx 18:58, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

Red leg girl
This looks like more of her.(Hangingmanpeter0 06:50, January 21, 2011 (UTC))

I thought that was supposed to be Kira, but she does appear to be wearing a mask, and the loincloth matches.

That would be a sneaky way of debuting a new character, but I wouldn't put it past them. Drpvfx 23:58, January 21, 2011 (UTC)

She's got a little southern vibe. A fourth ninja...Dontfearthereaper777 21:55, January 22, 2011 (UTC)

Fifth if you count Tanya (as Khameleon does in MK:A). I'm hoping Tanya does make it in as DLC, and beyond that, I hope they finally give her a "ninja" outfit with a face veil. I also hope this really is a new, red ninja girl- the she-ninjas have always been my favorite kombatants. Drpvfx 23:11, January 22, 2011 (UTC)

Observations from Mileena's video
1- She appears to have a new, double sai throw move.

2- She appears to have a variant of her Rolling Fury which bounces up first and can score more hits.

3- Sonya also seems to possess a double projectile.

4- The "lady in red" in Shao Kahn's Arena isn't Kira unless she's been totally redesigned, so it probably is "Skarlet" (or whatever her name will be) from the teaser picture, as mentioned above.

1-3 are quite possibly just the "EX" versions of the moves she already has. If you look at the recent picture of Kitana vs. Jade, you can see two of Kitana's fans in frame, so the double projectile might be a fairly standard "super" projectile that a lot of characters have. Drpvfx 23:46, January 22, 2011 (UTC)

Three more slots
Ed Boon said in an interview Goro Shao Khan and Shang Tsung as non playable characters at the moment. That means there are three more characters in the game. I read this in a xbox magazine. 202.124.74.69 07:43, January 24, 2011 (UTC)

You appear to be referring to the newest Game Informer, as it mentions something very much like this. However, it doesn't explicitly state those three characters won't be playable- just that Ed Boon likes to keep a certain "mystique" to them. It would be unprecedented and unlikely for all three to be unplayable. Precedent says the most likely to be playable are Shang Tsung, then Goro, I'll be highly shocked if Shang Tsung isn't playable, and I half expect Goro will be playable via some secret means, Of course I don't know for sure. Drpvfx 07:58, January 24, 2011 (UTC)

Ed Boon did say at the time so i might be wrong. 202.124.74.69 08:11, January 24, 2011 (UTC)

Liu Kang?
Do you think this is Liu Kang?Kuro Selas 10:56, January 27, 2011 (UTC)

There's no real proof that it is. It kinda looks like him, but it could be anybody. CrashBash 18:09, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

I actually thought the same thing. I also think the silhouetted character on the official page looks a bit like him, as does the character whose head Mileena just ripped off in that other pic. Given he was the "main" hero of the first 3 games, I can't imagine him being absent from a game which centers on those titles specifically. And this is coming from someone who considers LK bland and wouldn't really mind if he *were* omitted. ;-) Drpvfx 18:46, January 26, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah I thought the same about the silhouetted character on the official page. I think he'll be in for the reason you stated Drpvfx but I don't think he'll be the same Liu Kang we all know. But well we'll just have to wait and see. ( April is still so far away lol) Kuro Selas 10:56, January 27, 2011 (UTC)

We certainly didn't have to wait too long!!! That X-ray video is a hilariously informal reveal, but one I felt was coming soon! As an aside, Ermac's X-Ray looks wicked awesome (Goro's, too) Drpvfx 17:59, January 27, 2011 (UTC)

I myself find the image to give a vague idea of Mileena, hence the Sais in the image. Fulgore2005 21:04, January 27, 2011 (UTC)

Stryker?
Apparently Stryker is confirmed in gameplay via the IGN X-Ray video. I can honestly say that I do not see Stryker once in the video, and I have watched it several times. Is there a timestamp, maybe?Dontfearthereaper777 18:54, January 27, 2011 (UTC)

They do show him ever-so-briefly about to be the victim of either Cyrax or Sektor, I believe? (EDIT: it's vs. Sub-zero, at 1:39) It's very quick, but it's definitely him in his MK3 garb- he even has "SWAT" written on his cap. Drpvfx 19:50, January 27, 2011 (UTC)

New Info
I thought I'd point out that in that new IGN video, Goro is in the Subway. If he's only a boss, I would think he'd only appear in his lair, and the Subway seems like a pretty random place for Goro to be, It isn't much, but it's something to think about. Possibly confirm Goro's playability? Also, all the characters that have been confirmd that are likely to be in one of the 26 spaces are now up to 25 (This excludes Goro, Shao Kahn, and Kratos, but I'm still counting the MK2/3 Shang Tsung cause I can't imagine he won't be in it). So the only normal character from the first 3 games left is Sheeva, who has been strongly hinted at by the MK team on Twitter. This leaves the question of Skarlet (who appeared as a real looking model in a picture), although I believe she will be a secret character or something and will not be in one of the normal 26 spaces.Dontfearthereaper777 19:16, January 27, 2011 (UTC)
