Expect to me the logic behind that statement, as well as your reasoning for saying that. Well, if you think about it, he does. Like I've pointed out in the past, I doubt all returning characters will be characters from MK9 (aka, MK1 - MK3 chars). But this isn't just something "I think" will happen, it's pretty much already been confirmed. In an interview with TRMK, Ed Boon said this:

"You will definitely see a Mortal Kombat 4 character, I believe that's the first time I've said that. You will also see some of the later game's fighters. You'll also see cameo's in the story mode. Some really fun ones." Source: http://www.trmk.org/features/interview_mortal_kombat_x_ed_boon_e3_2014/3/

So we know there will be AT LEAST one MK4 fighter (which could possibly be Quan Chi, I guess), as well as fighters from the later games (MK4 - MK:A). Most of the characters from Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, Deception, and Armageddon pretty much sucked. The devs have already said that they don't want to use Hsu Hao, Moloch, Drahmin, and I think Frost. We can assume that they probably don't want to use Frost, Mavado, Bo' Rai Cho, Nitara, Kobra, Kira, Darius, Ashrah, Dairou, Shujinko, Taven, Daegon, Mokap, and probably Blaze. That only leaves a little bit of fighters from MK4 - MK:A. Characters like Havik, but mainly characters from Mortal Kombat 4.

If you think about it, the characters from Mortal Kombat 4 were not bad at all, but just wasn't in many games. Fujin, Tanya, Reiko, Kai, Quan Chi, and Shinnok were all good characters (the only one that kinda sucked was Jarek).

We now know that NetherRealm will be adding in characters from MK4 - MK:A, and we know that they will probably just want to stick to using MK4 characters. But there's more! Around the reveal of MKX, a rumor appeared that has been turning out to be more and more true. The rumor was apearently from someone who has leaked things in the past. The rumor said that NetherRealm was putting in Liu Kang, a reptile-like fighter (they said they didn't know which one), Tanya (a MK4 character), and was planning a roster of 30 characters. If you want to hear why I think this rumor might be true, then just ask. But I'm not going to explain why in this post, it's getting to big already.

So... NetherRealm is adding characters from MK4 - MK:A, which they probably want to stick to MK4 chars, Tanya is rumored, and Fujin has been recently hinted at (and no, I don't think this is him "poking fun" at people. He's probably just hinting at Fujin. The same way he's been hinting at some other characters like Reptile and Ermac. It doesn't mean he WILL be in, it just means he has a chance). But you also can't forget about Shinnok! Shinnok could possibly the MK4 character, who knows? I think he will. But, I think there will be more than 1 MK4 character.

I think we will be getting 4: Quan Chi, Shinnok, Fujin, and Tanya. Another one may be DLC, like Reiko or Kai, but I'm not sure. Now, time to breakdown these character choices:

Quan Chi: Confirmed.

Shinnok: Teased at the end of MK9.

Fujin: Ed Boon has been hinting at him recently. But also, the picture of the boots that Ed Boon posted can also be used. Fujin could be a match to Boot 4, I believe.

Tanya: Rumored. Plus, NetherRealm needs to get in some more females.

This is pretty much it, and in my opinion, it makes since. Again, I'm not saying he WILL be in the game, but I do think they have a "pretty good chance of being in this game".
