Yesterday we got a new trailer for the upcoming mk 1. In the trailer it was confirmed that both smoke and rain will be on the main roster, While Cyrax, Sektor, Scorpion, and Frost we will on the cameo roster. So, it is time to do an update on my predictions. For the main roster instead of four spots for new characters I will have only two. With the 10 confirm characters and two spots for new characters I will fill up the remaining 12 spots for the 24-man roster like last time. For the cameo roster with the new confirm fighters there are only 5 places remain for the rest of the roster.
For the main roster I do still believe that Reiko, Reptile, Li Mei, Hotaru, Nitara, Kira, Darrius, and Jade will make it in. That now leaves only 4 spots left. The first spot goes to someone that makes sense for a rebooted story but doesn’t need to be on both rosters. The fighter is Sonya Blade. Again, I hate that some fighters are on both rosters. That is a rant for another time. Next is someone I had her on the cameo roster, but I will move her to the main roster. It is Sindel. Next is a character that everyone wants to return. It is Havik. I had him as a DLC fighter. The last one is a longshot, but he deserves to be here. It is Kintaro. Goro was in 10, Sheeva was in 11, it’s fair for Kintaro to return. I had to remove Bo Rai Cho and Ferra/Torr but I might bring them back.
For the 5 spots for the cameo roster. I am still going with Baraka, Kabal, Cassie Cage, Motaro, and sadly D’Vorah. With me moving Sindel to the main roster, I had to leave out both Kai and Hsu Hao. Maybe I will bring them back (especially Kai).
To replace Havik for the DLC I am going with Quan Chi.
