More like a 1 to 10000 chance that there wont be any old characters in MK8 cept Sub, Scorp and maybe 1 or 2 others. And i doubt any of em will be any of those side characters.

what the hell has jerrod to do with this, he didn't mention jerrod... And jerrod is alive now, if sindel ending in armageddon is canon.

They are the same person.
Jerrod, also spelled as Jerod, is a minor character occasionally referenced in the character Sindel's backstory. He is described as once being the King of Edenia before he was defeated and killed by Shao Kahn after Edenia's finest warriors lost in Mortal Kombat. And what does him being alive have anything to do with Armatige trying to copare him to Kochal?



you re right my bad

There may be as many Tremor fans as there are Tremor haters, which would only make SENSE for them to put him in the game. You see, there are as many Liu Kang fans as there are Liu Kang haters, same thing goes for Johnny Cage, and the same goes for .... well, most of the characters, really. WTF?

That guy you fight in deception when your gathering all of the kamadogus or whatever that gut you fight who bootlegged scorpions move.

He looks cool, whatever his name is.

All these minor characters everyone is naming don't seem should be in MK8. I mean the Midway Team are starting with brand new characters, not characters from Konquest modes, only like Tremor I could think of would be good but all the other characters like Monster, who is just another Scorpion, the other two chicks that helped Quan Chi in Mortal Kombat Sub Zero Mythology would not be that great either. Some things that would be a really good idea would be another Vampire like a guy, a new Price or Princess, a new Ninja, and maybe a real cyborg(not like a character like Jax, Cyrax, Sektor, or Smoke) as an a human that was supposed to be dead but had a bunch of metal for replacement. Those are my thoughts, but if someone don't like them, those are your thoughts.

I think everyone needs to realize Mortal Kombat has been scrutinized for some time now by a lot of people as being stale and child like and based on what I have seen and read I would probably say he is gonna really reinvent this game from the ground up with a whole new story line so as far as characters I believe they realize how big a part they have on the mythology of the game and with Ed Boon saying that the next game will have a much darker tone I just dont see alot of joke characters appearing in this game with that being said it is very possible that the new characters in the new mortal kombat wont even remotely tie into previous games at all and so this may be MK8 coming up but if my hunch is correct it we be more like The New Mortal Kombat I guess time will tell but I just hope they put a decent amount of thought into the character stories and make them make sense and add up cause there is just to many contradictions in previous MK games

Well first off i agree in thinking that the characters here really aren't anything i would want to see. What i Really want is a character that we have never seen before, i mean make a character that is brand new not some ripoff cyborg that's green or a golden ninja i want something brand new that would give me that "holy crap" type of feeling just by looking at him/her Scorpion/Sub-zero did it in MK1 so i'm sure they can do it again. Now for the highlighted part, considering there are going to be characters from the old game in this one, i have to believe that the old games will somehow tie in with this one

Common sense Sub-zero and Scorpion will exist in one shape or another. I do wanna see samurai like characters.

I posted my ideas for samurais somewhere. I also had an idea for another shirai ryu member, a brotherhood of shadow member and more red dragon members.

The black guy in the movie or Taja from the series. Or at least characters based on them. I know those things arn't canon. But added in there, they would be awesme.

He could be a samurai. Maybe he should have a sword brother. Samurai would be a good addition to Mortal Kombat. We had jujutsu and that's an unarmed samurai fighting style. Hardcore, I just mean two japanese fighters that uses the way of the samurai. They can be old rivals of Liu Kang and Kung Lao.

As far as side characters go.. Don;t get your hopes up. There are serious doubts they will be seen in MK8

Sword brother is someone yu've crossed swords with and trained together. Like Snake eyes and Storm shadow.
