One of the goriest fighting game franchises returns to its roots, introducing a new story that re-tells the events of the first three Mortal Kombat games (with a unique twist).
Full character select screen leaked.
" I really hope human Smoke isn't as dumb-looking as I've been lead to believe. "Could that just be smoke coming out the top of his head?
Just saw this on testyourmight lol, Cyber Sub looks really badass, reminds me a little bit of a Predator in a way.
I hope they don't decide to keep him a cyborg though....I know few weeks ago the MK team said, they're not sure if they'll bring back Cyber Sub as part of the canon future MK games after this....
Either that, or this is from Arcade/Story mode, where he's not available.
Canonically Cyber Sub-Zero makes sense. After all Sektor was a former member of Sub-Zero's clan so all the cyber ninjas are former Lin Kuei.
Frost...really? I guess they have to reserve DLC for characters you actually might want like Rain etc.
Although honestly I can't complain because this is a pretty fucking amazing roster. It's pretty much UMK3 and I'm loving it.
Holy crap. Barack Quan-Chi Obama. Can't unsee.
Edit: And some of those thumbnails are hilariously bad. I loved the demo, but just wanted to say how horribly American this game looks.

Um, its probably a different Sub Zero. If you read the dumbass canon like me, you know there are multiple Sub Zeros and the tribe Sub Zero, Cyrax, Smoke, etc come from converted all their dudes to robots. So its probably a different Sub Zero.
Im guessing the reason Cyber Sub-Zero is in the previously designated DLC slot is because you'll be able to press right or left to cycle through a bunch of DLC characters, Kratos, hidden characters like Sub-Zero, and bosses like Goro and Shao Kahn, should they be unlockable.
I'm still a little disappointed Rain isn't on the primary roster since he is of the primary trilogy... im still hoping he is going to be on the release as a secret character or something.
either way, no surprise on the roster, the data mining info from the demo seems to be correct then...still not to thrilled about Smoke's troll look though...
The first Sub Zero died and became Noob Saibot. The second one is the Sub Zero we have been playing as since MK2. I guess the only logical conclusions would be that the cyborg version is a "what if" scenario and non canonical, or that at some point in this game's story Sub Zero is captured and turned into a cyborg after all." @mkf30 said:

" I'm wondering where Kratos fits on that selection screen, given that is the PS3 version apparently. "good point, this is probably not the entire list.
I think this is the most excited I have been for a game since DMC3. (And I was REALLY excited for DMC3)

"good point, this is probably not the entire list. "
" @ChristianCastillo said:So why wouldn't they just have Kratos there rather than two of the same sub zeros? Maybe that hadn't unlocked kratos at the time, idk." @Boom_goes_the_dynamite said:At the bottom the characters cycle. "" I'm wondering where Kratos fits on that selection screen, given that is the PS3 version apparently. "good point, this is probably not the entire list. "
" @The_Laughing_Man said:Because those 2 spots are for DLC and probably extra characters, hence the arrows. Kratos is probably there, because the arrows probably signify you can go over more." @ChristianCastillo said:So why wouldn't they just have Kratos there rather than two of the same sub zeros?

However here's hoping his hair isn't some Amadeus ridiculousness.
" @Sreya: I guess that makes sense. It's right next to Noob Saibot, and Smoke is confirmed to be in the starting roster. If that's the case than that roster kicks ass and I have no complaints. However here's hoping his hair isn't some Amadeus ridiculousness. "I don't think he actually has a fro like that.
I think it's just smoke constantly shooting out of his head.
I can't find the video anywhere, but heres a piece of an interview from about a year ago:" @ryanwho said:

Boon: "Mortal Kombat has this timeline - eighteen years of making games, and we really didn't want to just continue, like, chapter seventeen of the whole story," says Ed Boon, the co-creator of the series. "So we're kind of doing a Back to the Future type of thing, where Raiden is about to be killed by Shao Kahn, and just before he delivers the last blow, he sends a mental message to his earlier self, so the camera rewinds back to Mortal Kombat 1. The Raiden from back then gets a message and he doesn't know what's going on, but he knows something bad's going to happen, and the game spans Mortal Kombat 1, 2 and 3, retelling the story with an enlightened Raiden, and he's changing the course of things, so everything you've seen happen before – Liu Kang winning, the guys turning into cybernetic ninjas, are changed around, so you might see a character become cybernetic who wasn't before, and so you see a different version [of events]."
Its going to be cannon, i would think that the older sub zero doesn't die in the first tournament and becomes a cyborg, "different version [of events]" makes me think that, but that Noob trailer has him saying, "we share blood, but you are not brother" to sub zero, so thats out of the question. I think it will be the younger sub zero, because that makes the most sense. That or there is ANOTHER sub zero brother but I doubt that. Either way he looks pretty cool and I want to see how he plays.
Who are the guys next to Raiden and Quan Chi's left? The one next to Raiden looks like Kabal but I can't really tell...
" @Black_Rose said:It is Kabal." Who are the guys next to Raiden and Quan Chi's left? The one next to Raiden looks like Kabal but I can't really tell... "It looks like Kabal unless they added a new character for the story mode like taven and daegon "
