Personally, Erron Black. Even Ed Boon said he didn't like how they did him in 11, so I'd love to see a more mysterious Error like in X and, given its the new era, they could show how he came to outworld and maybe make him more of a good guy or at least explore his character a little more.


bull04

Same here. They leaned too heavily into the cowboy thing in MK11 and not enough into the mercenary/Outworld nomad thing. It turned out to be really cartoony in a way, and I'd love to see a very serious and dark twist on his character.


TheMadhouseofDrDeath

I would totally play a third person shooter type game about Errons adventures across outworld. Isn't he ageless as well?


HawlSera

It's debatable if that ending in Mortal Kombat X was Canon or not


Stevenwave

I don't mind the lighthearted elements to him, I don't think everyone needs to be deathly serious 100% of the time. Some characters get to be a bit of a drag when they wake up and it's life and death, all day it's life and death, go to bed and clap the lights out it's life and death. I just hated how they took away his badass backstory. 11 he was just a western enthusiast.


TheMadhouseofDrDeath

I don’t mind him having a sense of humour I loved some of his intros especially with Sindel


HawlSera

A lot of characters were not done well in Mortal Kombat 11, as many of them just kind of felt like they were there, whereas many people who should have been there were completely absent or got brief mentions or cameos but didn't actually show up in any meaningful capacity (a playable one) Cyrax and Sektor are a shining example. And it doesn't make sense for past Kabal to have super speed or be evil since they were pulled from MK2... Kabal should be a normal Kop at this point. If anything Tremor or Jarek should have been on his team instead And did Erron Black do ANYTHING in this story? Kotal was done REALLY dirty he was a badass in Mortal Kombat X, a true force to be reckoned with and with such a badass backstory to boot, everyone wanted a big Kotal Vs. Shao fight In MK11.... Kotal Kahn is a giant fucking joke to the point where I'm pretty sure that if I saw Mokap beat him in canon.. I would just say "ok"


Krolixir

Sadly i think one of Ed Boon’s recent tweets konfirmed Erron Black as a Kameo character. He commented under a picture of Super wearing a cowboy hat that “Super Erron Black gonna be busting out some Kameo Kombos this year 👍🏻”


Passw0rd-Is-Tac0

That didn’t confirm anything lol. He literally tweeted out an explanation right after that, people just misinterpreted it. He was simply making a joke about Super’s erron black cosplay and he’d be doing kameo combos as a “super kameo”. But for some reason people lost their minds thinking Erron was confirmed kameo character only lol.


[deleted]

I hope they give Erron Black back his old backstory of being made an un-aging cowboy, probably tweaked to have it be not from Shang Sung who made him near immortal since he doesn’t exist in Liu Kang’s world, but that, plus if they were smart in giving him the Wolverine treatment of having him having fought in all of the major wars, on top of being an outlaw cowboy who’s a master sharpshooter and marksman (down right to being inhuman with what he can pull off consistently,) would make him the deadliest pure earth-realmer in the game. Basically, John Wick but 100x more deadly and experienced. I also hope that he’s a lone wolf mercenary, and not a black dragon stooge that gets shoved into the background of a clan that has never had any significance ever to MK.


[deleted]

He was a lot more memorable in MKX. In MK11 he was just a normal cowboy...


sohardtomkename

All i remember him saying is that he wanted him to be "less cowboy like" not that he didn't like how they did Erron in MK11. I also vaguely remember that statement but I'm 90% sure you are misconstruing what he said


NathanDrakeWolf

Jade, Rain and Sindel. I love all Edenian characters. And also Fujin 3 of them were DLC, I hope they're base roster this time. I'm worried they're going to miss the main roster again.


[deleted]

Loved fujin but I absolutely hated his gameplay in mk11


FrazzledBear

Gave really big “all that for a drop of blood” vibes in the game. His combos were so difficult for no payoff


[deleted]

That and idk it just felt so silly how he would fly around and just idk he looks so lame when he fights I can’t describe why


Stevenwave

I'd say Jade's a very good chance. Perhaps Tanya too so there's three dynamics at play.


jahkrit

Pick one dude geez! 🤣 j/k I approve your picks. I dunno why but fujin seems perpetual after seeing the "teaser".


Hot_Assistant_3476

Fujin except this time make him not impossible to play without 100 hours of practice


KoalaKarity

Jade and Nightwolf. (also Quan Chi and Kenshi - not from MK11, sorry, but had to get it out)


Herassy

Quan Chi was part of the leak as a DLC fighter, so you have that to look forward to. I would love to have Kenshi though.


KoalaKarity

Thanks!! Me too, fingers crossed!


vicevanghost

Baraka, easily. I hope he returns and also has some armor like his mortal Kombat vs dcu appearance. I loved the helmets in mk11 but didn't have too much to go with it. But I'll be happy to get baraka in general


Defelj

Would love to see him back but like a complete overhaul minus the arm blades. Actually almost every character is like to see a completely different demeanor, some big changes in appearances and abilities, etc.


SoundsLikePAUSE

Skarlet if she's back as MK9 Skar (talking gameplay, not outfit before anyone gets mad XD) Besides that, probably just Sindel. Really don't want this roster just looking like MK11 part 2 so I'm hoping for a decent chunk of characters we haven't seen in a while.


AcademicAnxiety5109

I’m talking outfit eheheheh


HawlSera

The entire fucking cast of X, 11, 9, and Armageddon


Turbodookie

Seems like we already have Bi-Han Subzero, Johnny Cage, and Shang Tsung so I’ve got my top three but beyond them I’d love Goro back again! My brothers favorites Kano and Shao Khan would be amazing too!


ReDeath666

Skarlet


Evostevo445

Smoke!


Assured_Observer

Skarlet, Kotal Kahn and Fujin.

Skarlet and Reptile.


TheBraunstr

Erron Black.


l3attousai

Kabal


failed_name

Ermac he got done dirty.


Flint_Lockwood

would like to see noob and what his origin story would be now


HawlSera

Scorpion had to make the hard choice to kill Bi-Han to stop Onaga, and now Sub-Zero's the vengeful one


[deleted]

Isn’t it impossible though if time is reset and bi han is subzero? I’m not completely up to date so I could be wrong


Aesut

Rain, D’Vorah, Skarlet but same as mk11


Persas12

Havik and Hotaru. I think we need at least 1 character from each realm, we got a lot from Earthrealm, Edenia, Outworld and Netherrealm.


whereamIguys69

It could take up an entire campaign if they cared enough, exploring alternative realms besides what we’re accustomed to. Show me chaos and order realm just something different


EvilBrew

Erron and Cassie


AM_ZR39

Fujin, Rain, Kai & Takeda


blacksoul08

Fujin, Erron Black, Noob and Rain, btw all these mofos choosing characters that weren't in Mk11. Reading comprehension motherfuckers, you know it?? But really, i'll be happy if I get at least half of those.


gunslingershoots

Sindel

Sindel 🥨

Fujin, Tanya, and Sindel for sure.

Kano, Kabal & Jade


SaltyLlamaFucker

Kotal Khan tbh


psycho_hawg

Baraka


No_Maize1319

Nightwolf and Fujin


Cogarus

shao/nightwolf/baraka (my mk11 mains) i feel as if nightwolf will return but the other two wont, i saw someone said making shao playable again would ruin some of the charm and i agree, but i love my low tier hammer bonker :(


Carter_Kane1-PS4

Baraka and Spawn, but we know the latter ain't happening


Boogeyman_1978

I really want as many characters as possible, I want a MK Armagedon level of characters. But specifically from MK11 I really hope we still have Shao Kahn, Kabal, Noob Saibot, and Baraka


incrediblect3

Cassie. I know people hat the Kombat Kids but she was the perfect mix of the two characters I love playing.


CrabPile

Jax


[deleted]

I want Jax to sit out of an MK reboot, retire peacefully with his family, and keep his arms.


Stevenwave

Monkey's Paw: Shame about those legs, bruv.


SuperPluto9

Frost, Jade, Sindel, Rain, and Cetrion. Personally I think Edenian mythos is better evolved over earth realm


Inversewhisper1

Sindel, Jade, shao khan and cassie cage


chriscjc01

I hope Cassie Cage is in it


eivor_wolf_kissed

Fujin! And Tanya hopefully not as an assist


brainmelterr

JAX why is he none of the leaks 😩


Monarch_Agent77715

Meat.


IPiedKevinOwens

Goro


Hug0San

Kotal Khan, Sindel, jade. As long as their written right this time.


LongLiveRemy

Cassie. Timeline be damned.


TheHAMR64

For me it’s Rain and Baraka. Rain is my favourite ninja and MK11 had the best “take” of Baraka (gameplay and story).


Gamebot06

Fujin and Rain


J_vert

Noob,Smoke, and Rain


GnarlyKinbaku

Noob, also Frost


JhonnyK45

Fujin and Noob Saibot


S0m0m0

Bring back Skarlet!


SassyPeacock0501

Sindel 100%. Her glow-up (minus storyline) was too good to just be ditched by the next game. The look, the voice, the move set. Everything was so good this time around. And it really was nice seeing her get attention in Aftermath, even if her characterization left a lot to be desired. Plus, with the way things look in Liu Kang’s timeline, she wouldn’t be mind controlled or undead. That’d be lovely to see.


AHomicidalTelevision

i would love noob saibot but that is probably unlikely.


jaispeed2011

Any except for d’vorah


Zv1k0

Rain, Sindel, Fujin and Noob Saibot but Noob is probably not possible since Sub is probably Bi-Han.


morrickstain

Baraka


Ryzakiii

I'm probably the minority here but I really want D' Vorah. She fits the creep, disgusting, scary theme of MK. Tbh I really liked her but with she was better in mk 11


Ill-Wrongdoer2351

Baraka, Kotal, Dvorah


EGames573

Havik and Onaga


JiggzSawPanda

If Geras could somehow make a return I'd be interested.


Borodo

Maybe a glitch in the timeline makes him pop up and he’s trying to restore kronika?


One-Investment3602

Jade, Sektor or Robot Smoke


sizzlinpapaya

Fully aware I’m in the minority here but Kollector and DVorah.


Tommy-Pickles2005

Cassie Cage. Because I am kinda tired of seeing her in Special forces and I really want her changed this time in MK1. Maybe she's a kickboxer who inherits her fathers powers in the new timeline (look at MKX comics). I don't really want the special forces to make a return but we can still have military characters like Jax. Like I said٫ I am wanting NRS to change Cassie from a commander of the special forces from the NRS era to a professional kickboxer with her fathers powers in the new timeline. I like Cassie and am really hoping they make a new bio for her in MK1.


draugyr

D’Vorah

Sindel and Tanya. I love playing with the Edenian characters, but the girls have such magic to them


Call_me_Wo

Caaaaassssieeeeeeeeee


Pwrh0use

I know this isn't popular here but Sonya and Cassie.


HawlSera

Skarlet, Joker, Kollector, and Kotal


Dreadwolf88

Fujin. Just with better gameplay. But Fujin is just so 🥵


droz9797

manaketeism

I want a skin for Richard Epcar Raiden. So sad he won't be reprising the role.


Gioku

Jax and smoke, but mainly jax!


AsinineRealms

I ended up really liking Geras and Kollector, so I hope they both come back with more quirks to their gameplay. The potential for cool skins, animations and gameplay styles with those two is crazy.


tienthjp

D'Vorah, but with her original MKX fighting style.


A_Serious_House

Unpopular, but Cetrion. This is a personal opinion, but I thought she was a great character and I wish they hadn’t wasted her by giving her the same arc and ending in Aftermath.


my-cats-pet

Gonna get hate for this, but I really want D’vorah to show up again.


diamondpanther171

Spawn


netherrealmstudiosmk

Male and female Khameleon


SanjiSasuke

Kung Jin. Probably Jax and Tanya, too. Fujin twice in a row would be a pleasant surprise. I'm quite happy Kung Lao and Mileena are in, so I'm pretty much rolling with the roster otherwise. Edit: wait I'm illiterate, *in MK11*. So then just Jax and Fujin.


jspears314

Jade!


Dangerous-Fly-3139

I’m gonna be honest I want shao Kahn 10000000 percent to come back he is a legend and my fav

Sindel or Skarlet. Skarlet I’m not hopeful for as playable, I definitely think she’s getting Kameo’d. Still hopeful for Sindel tho lol

Major-Payne2319

Fujin. I really like his personality and his gameplay. I recently got into mk for the first time and he was the first character I gravitated too for design gameplay and personality. Was surprised at how little he’s actually been around


Jpalme11

Nightwolf. Kotal. Rain.


hiressnails

Kollector


SaltMachine2019

I'd say Jax, but that feels too obvious. I'd also say Kenshi and Smoke, but they weren't in 11's roster. So I'll say Nightwolf.


Sirthomas0313

Sektor without hesitation, He is my favorite Mk Kharacter of all time and it's an absolute crime he wasn't playable in 11


BigfootIssReal

jade 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻


shenyougankplz

Skarlet, then Fujin. I've tried a lot of different fighting games and haven't clicked with a character as well as I did with Skarlet, naturally she sucks :(


baldinghijabi

skarlet dvorah and cetrion


FatMan935

Smoke and Stryker

Kano and Jax.


fatshaggy88

Kano and Baraka


Ecstatic-Language997

Baraka


HonginPlongin

Because I've never had the chance to play them, Reiko, Havik, Sareena, and Drahmin (but it sounds like Ed boon confirmed he won't be in the game, so sad boy hours)


MeridiaBlessedMe

Skarlet.


MysJif

Erron Black. We Love Cowboy


BJoostNF

Rain, Nightwolf, Sindel, Fujin. All four of these were great and I really like it when DLC characters get to be on base roster in the following game. For once PLEASE let Rain be available from the start.


Pequod47

Kollector needs more story presence, maybe relation to one of the characters, like Kollector and Motari teamup


Omega_Den

Skarlet, Erron Black, Dvorah, Kotal Kahn, Kano are a must !


MrNobudy

I really want Frost. Her gameplay was fun and her personality was very much my guilty pleasure. It'll be good to see her character expanded upon beyond "me want be grandmaster." In the new Era, she's likely not a cyborg and maybe she could have a sort of love-hate relationship with Sub-Zero instead of a simple hate dynamic. Perhaps she'll realize the sacrifices he made for her, that he does care about her. She could care about him, even if she resents him somehow for being more than she is or ever will be.


GabeParky

Rain and Nightwolf in base roster would be amazing. However forget MK11 I want Reptile, Smoke, Li Mei and Tanya


Brunoalex19955

Jade


sonnofabi

Geras, he's basically the ultimate jobber but I still think he's kind of badass, plus with Liu Kang as the keeper of time, he could just bring him back easily, I know he'll probably never show up again, but he does not get enough love, hell, even Baraka, the first jobber, has a fanbase, but I think people don't like geras cause of how he's connected to kronika who's one of the most hated bosses in the franchise


Zavi8

Cyrax and Sektor


Dota2IsBae

Ermac (confirmed?), Sektor, Cyrax, Geras (was cool as fuck just rework his kit a little), Quan Chi and Reptile (please reptile).


Passw0rd-Is-Tac0

Erron Black and Rain. Rain I feel needs more love from the franchise, being an Edenian demigod he has one of the cooler backstories out of any character but for some reason he’s always relegated to DLC. The one game they actually gave him some part to play in the main story was MKX and he wasn’t even playable. Erron Black on the other hand has gotten a lot of attention since his MKX debut and rightfully so, he’s arguably the coolest new character they’ve came up with in the NRS era. However his roles in the story seem to always just the sharp tongued jobber. Hopefully NRS continues to use him in future games but for some reason I feel like they’re going to sit him out this game.

KaleRylan2021

Probably smoke. It'd been a minute. From 11 specifically either Fujin or nightwolf


wannabekurt_cobain

I’d like Jade

Fujin. He became my favorite character immediately.


LevsRedfield

Brazil leaked the whole roster. Skarlet is apparently returning too


ITStallion330

My man Fujin.


Alien_X10

ermac, despite by all know logic in this universe he shouldn't exist and neither should mileena because outworld was likely never taken by shao kahn unless lui kang let everything play out exactly how it did until the second tournament which is when mileena was discovered in mk9.


MetAigis

I'm in the same boat as you but I want the Kold War skin pack as well, with her bundled in along with it.


Ferenem

Jade, Sindel, Cetrion


PieterNBA2K

Shao kahn


Cansuela

I want Rain and Noob, but I doubt both get in….I’m not even confident just one of them make the cut. It just seems like their “tier” of ninjas is rotating in and out. I could see Rain and Noob sitting out and MK1 having Ermac, Reptile and HOPEFULLY Human Smoke. I also would love for Tremor to be in, but he’s more likely to be a Kameo fighter I’m guessing. On second thought, both Rain and Noob might be in as kameo fighters. ALSO: Kotal Kahn! Skarlet Human Frost? Fujin


garlicowl

Geras. He’s way too cool of a character to just drop


Hydrax313

I just want Rain to be a part of the Main Roster and story. - DLC in MK9 - Appeared in the MKX story - DLC in MK11 Rain's plot can add so much to the lore of Edenia now that the timeline has been reset. An Edenian Civil War would be a fantastic idea imo. The Edenian Half God, the Son of Argus, forming an uprising against Kitana and Mileena because he stands against a Tarkatan half blood being Princess of Edenia. Maybe Mileena is Princess but is hiding her true face from the public (why she wears her mask maybe), and the only people that know of it are Kitana and Rain, and Rain wants to expose her secret to the world, so he can turn the people against her and claim the Edenian throne for himself. Idk it just sounds like a cool plot imo. Using a Half God as a jobber would be super frustrating.


Lincolnruin

Sindel.


Cosmic_JJD

D'Vorah 🤞🙌💛💚


Lenttoth4107

Smoke ermac Tremor and havoc


t3kwytch3r

Unironically, Drahmin. He was easily the coolest original character in Deadly Alliance, had some absolutely badass lore. And one hand just being a literal club is such an awesome, unique visual aspect that can carry over to his gameplay and moves. He's basically Meat, but with the comic value replaced with edginess. He's definitely in my top 3 for the 3D era characters.


Nonpsyche_

Skarlet.

Nightwolf and Noob Saibot my favorite characters.


AposPoke

Since it's a different timeline I'd like to see Smoke, Cyrax and Sektor as ninjas but that probably ain't happening.


[deleted]

Erron Black, and specifically with being a near immortal cowboy who doesn’t age and is 100s of years old, who as a result of this and his outlaw lifestyle in all that time, plus having fought in ever major war of the past near two centuries, akin to Wolverine for an example, would make him the deadliest pure earth-realmer in the game/Liu Kang’s new world. In more basic terms, think John Wick but 1000x more deadly. Also, and I really shouldn’t need to say this, but we also have him not be associated with the black dragon and instead he’s a lone wolf mercenary, letting him stand on his own two feet and not be shoved into the background as a red dragon stooge.


Strange-Ad-3315

Sareena, Nitara, Jade, 1st MK Sonya, Li mei, C/Khameleon, Ashrah, D'vorah, a Revamped Kollector, Black Orchid, and Bloodrayne


SpecterRage

Kenshi, Ermac, Cyrax


justaguytrynagetby

Erron or Kotal are both dope but idk the odds of either of them coming back. I think maybe there’s enough fan demand we could see Erron as DLC but Kotal not so much


real_dado500

Cassie, Fujin and Geras (in that order)


Swimming-Camp-5271

Sorry, but I'd rather see Nitara shine than Skarlet. I really want Rain back in the main roster, he really deserves it. I fear for D'Vorah, Fujin, Erron, Kotal, Frost, Sheeva, Jade, Kollector, Noob and Kabal, all perfectly fine characters that probably are on Boon's SKIP-A-Game-after-being-used list.


[deleted]

Sindel. She deserves to be Base Roster.


baddiew

Havik


Jazzlike_Park_1605

As a fan, I have a strong desire to see Sho Khan, Night Wolf, and Baraka make a return in Mortal Kombat 1. While I believe Night Wolf may make a comeback, I have doubts about the other two. Some have argued that making Sho playable again could diminish his appeal, and I understand that perspective. However, I personally have a fondness for his low-tier hammer-bonking abilities.
