Well since everyone was alive as of MKA and since then they've said that their not going to be bringing back certin characters again (But probably won't tell us how they died.)
Who do you think SHOULD die. Give real reasonings other then "I hate so an so"
Blaze-Died at the end of MKA he better be dead.
Ermac-Either he or Kenshi needs to die I'd rather keep Ermac but there moves are to similar and I'd rather not see them both. I think Ermac deserves to live (for now) but one of them has to die.
Frost- Shes probably not gonna side with good or evil but shes gonna keep attacking Sub-Zero and thats way out of her league shes gonna get killed.
Hsu Hao-Red Dragons kinda gone down hill and I don't think he has what it takes to survive especilly since the Red Dragon went against every other evil group in the series.
Jarek-Kabal either takes him in or kills him to weed out the weaklings. he really wasn't that good of a character but the old black dragon either conforms to Kabal or dies.
Kano- Problem with killing Kano is that I don't think there would be much of a point to keeping Sonya or Jax for much longer. if he dies its a package deal but i think he should live.
Kenshi-Loner out for revenge in MK that gets you killed.
Kira-Kabals probably gonna have Kobra and Kira kill each other just like in the MKD ending.
Kobra-Kabals probably gonna have Kobra and Kira kill each other just like in the MKD ending.
Li Mei-Inner conflict between her good and evil will get her killed plus shes relitivly untrained other then the short time under Bo'Rai'Cho.
Liu Kang-The whole zombie thing? Put down the body and let the soul rest.
Mavado-Hard to belive the Red Dragons would survive after armageddon. Except Deagon.
Mileena-Tried to kill Baraka (maybe) and shes evil She will have no one to turn to.
Motaro-With Kahn sideing with the Shokan I could belive they all get exterminated.
Nitara-Maybe not kill her but she really has no real reason to be around anymore.
Onaga-Hes gotta die everyone hates him except for a few underlings.
Raiden-He'll be a boss soon he should die eventually but not now. (he'll never die but this is an opinion.)
Reiko-I'm sure he has a fan base but I don't think anyone would miss him and the whole goal is to shortin the roster.
Sektor-The Tenkunin....If they're allowed to exist its possible for everyone to eventually turn into Cyborg Ninja's and with Noob-Saibot trying to make a demon cyborg army i think we have enough robots.
Shinnok-He turned against the other villans he wont live.
Shujinko-Raiden will kill him.
Tanya-I don't think she has what it takes to survive but I think she'd weasil her way long enough to live for atleast 1 more game.
This is just to try and Lessen the roster 64 people who keep getting killed and ressurected is a bit excessive especially since new people are going to continuesly be added.
so thats about 18-20 people who I think have run their course in terms of storline. I like some of the people here but everyone's gota go sometime.

RE: Who do you think died in Armageddon.

I actually think that over the course of time most of the MK characters are going to be alive. (No, I don't think MK Vs. DC is going to kill the franchise; however, I don't think the game will be received as well as Midway or Ed Boon and the boys were hoping it would, so the NEXT Mortal Kombat will be a stand alone game, which I think will have a more concrete direction post-Armageddon.) I think the creators will be too concerned about killing the wrong characters due to fan uproar or future story possibilities to actually make a point of saying "so-and-so is dead". But based on what I've read, heard, or figured over the last year-and-a-half since Armageddon's release, here's what I think:
Hsu Hao - due to creator indifference in that he was supposed to die during Deadly Alliance, but was brought back only for Armageddon's "every playable character" roster. He was probably killed the same way it said in MK:DA.
Mokap and Meat - I don't know if they were actually "killed" (although I hope so, and a little story by the creators as to how would be nice too), but I don't think they will be back as they were more "joke" characters than anything else, so there isn't really any further to take their stories.
Stryker - only if the fan reaction to his revamp for Armageddon didn't do anything for his popularity. Most of the people I know thought he was the worst character made for MK3, but they changed his look quite a bit. If fans have liked the new Stryker (I don't know, I'm new to these posts but an MK fan since the beginning) then he won't be dead.
Blaze - unless they change his look again. I think there's enough boss characters that will remain alive that he would be redundant. Plus, in almost every ending of Armageddon, his essence transfers itself to the winner. (A hybrid character maybe, like BlazeScorpion? JK) However, if he has a new mission that changes his look, he may come back.
Other than that, I'm not sure. All of the other characters have either started a new story since their first "death", like Johnny Cage or Jarek, or even I see story possibilities that could lead to future appearances in future games (with maybe deaths to happen in the future), but I'll make a couple of predictions and see how right I am.
Mavado and Daegon - I think this whole Red/Black Dragon war will finally be decided. Since more characters are from the Black side and no other significant Reds were introduced after MK:DA except Daegon, I think the Reds are dead. Also due to the fact that each Red member has someone who specifically wants them dead.
Hotaru - he's hated by quite a few people too, and a little bit of an a-hole too, so he might be dead. Things keeping him alive are being the only being from Orderrealm who believes in Order and also seems to be Onaga's main military guy, so tough to say.
Shokans and/or Motaro - again to solve the war issue. I think at least one Shokan will remain alive (probably Goro) but I think it will depend again on fan input on redesigned characters). I would have thought Motaro for sure (since he almost wasn't in Armageddon) but I think the curse they added to explain his change of form may make for another future story.
Well, that's all I can be pretty confident about at this point. As time goes on, I might have more ideas but until there's some more info (like more Armageddon bios, for example) I think that's it.
(Sorry about the long post! I get pretty long-winded sometimes, especially when it's about MORTAL KOMBAT! Heehee!)

I guarantee Hsu Hao will die, simply because the MK team at Midway themselves hate this character.
Mokap should die because he is not a serious character.
Kenshi should die because he was a replacement character for Ermac, and Ermac is original, he was in MK first.
Mavado should die because he was a replacement for Kabal, but doesn't compare with the Black Dragon warrior. His grappling hooks are lame too.
Kira should die because she is not an original character, she is a cross between Kano and Sonya, having no original moves of her own.
Jarek Should die because his Rope moves are generic, as well as his storyline. He also started out as a Kano filler character in MK4.
Liu Kang Should die because he has already been killed and MK has had enough resurrections. His character has not at all evolved, his moves were always the same. Kung Lao, however, has evolved somewhat, and has more unique special moves, therefore he should replace Liu Kang.
Shujinko is nothing more than another MK4 Shinnok type character. If he cannot gain original moves of his own, he should die.

I wish all ressurections would completly stop in the series (Except for every 3rd game which is like a trilogy ie. MK trilogy and MK Armageddon but these games shoulden't be canon)
I would like to see them bring back every character from armageddon and slowly kill them all off to clear out the cluttered roster.
I think it would be kinda dumb to just say "Oh ya and he died" I'd like a real story to explain in detail why this person or that person died.

I totally agree! That's one of the things that disappoints me about Liu Kang's reappearance. I bet they're going to have him "back to normal" in MK vs. DC, when I thought his death in Deadly Alliance was both welcome and unexpected. And even his resurrection as a zombie was fine since it was different, but now the body should be either destroyed or buried and the spirit laid to rest. I actually hope that some of the characters were already killed in Armegeddon (or maybe before, which would explain why some may not get bios as they were only ressurected for Armageddon playability, like Sheeva and Motaro) and we the fans will get either a movie showing who was killed and how (kind of like Armageddon's opening FMV, but with next-gen technology) or some type of story write-up. I really do hope that this is the end of some characters and that they don't come back for any reason.

I think that there shouldn't be more resurections because that is just getting way to out of hand, yea the games like Trilogy and Armageddon where they have all the characters come back is great but they shouldn't make it a part of the storyline,just an additional game that has all characters. I mean you can't blame them for making armageddon part of the story, they thought that it was the end for it. But now that there is going to be more I don't wanna hear stuff like oh 20 guys are ressurected by the gods and hear bull like it's part of the story. Move on with it and whoever was killed be killed and get rid characters who are similar to others like the Ermac and Kenshi thing or the Kintaro and Goro thing. Personally I would like to get rid of these big boss characters and see some new ones(not to many though). Then maybe later on when they make another Trilogy or Armageddon type of MK have all the characters come together again.

Well, obviously since Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe will only be including the iconic characters of Mortal Kombat, every character who is not included in this category will die. In other words, all of the under appreciated and lesser-known characters will definitely be disposed of.
But, we of course do not know if this game will be canon, so we will not know until Mortal Kombat 9 who is truly killed off in MK:A. Only time will tell.

To be frank, that is probably the most naive and stupid statement I have read on this forum. The whole point of the game was not to have a final battle before Armageddon occurred, but for Taven to defeat Blaze and prevent Armageddon.
Obviously not every character is going to die. Remember, there will be no new characters in Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe.
Of course some are going to die though. All of the kombatants have been summoned to this big crater in a free for all, anything goes sort of thing. Obviously the enemies are going to annihilate each other, whether it be a personal feud or just an alignment thing.
Seriously though, your statement is false, and not thought through to the fullest extent. Of course not every character is going to die. Who are they going to bring back in Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe otherwise?

You think you are all that
Besides MK V.S DCU is most likely not canon,so it doesn't matter if they died in armageddon,because it will not effect the stroy line,Ed Boon wants to startb FRESH,that means new moves,fatalitys,charecters,plots,arenas and of course new weopens and death traps
And Snesrain is correct,the meaning of armageddon was to wipe out MOSTcharacters in the game,so even if they died in armageddon they will still return for MK v.s DCU since its most likely not cannon

Perhaps before you criticize me you should learn some spelling and grammar, and some facts about Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. To respond to your post:
We do not know if MK vs. DC U is canon or not. Ed Boon said in one of his interviews that when Mortal Kombat 9 comes around, they will decide whether it will be canon or not. Also, there will be no fatalities. There will probably be no weapons since Ed Boon has stated that there will most likely be one fighting style per character (weapons are included as a fighting style). Death traps (stage fatalities) are out, as well.
Also, remember, in your post that I responded to, you said "everyone died because thats the whole point of armagedon". Now you are saying that most of the characters are going to die? That's not exactly "everyone dying", as you stated in your first post. Of course a vast majority of the characters are going to be killed. They are all summoned to a big pit, with no rules. Do you think they are going to make friends with one-another?
Another point, we do not know if the upcoming Mortal Kombat will be canon, or not. You should wait until we know before passing judgment on what parts of Armageddon matter, and what parts are insignificant.
This video should reinforce some of the things I just said:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0lmU2418pg&feature=related
At 3:35, he confirms there will be no death traps / stage fatalities (whatever you want to call them).
