So once again Netherrealm studios will grace us with another edition of Mortal Kombat called Mortal Kombat X or MKX. The epic gore fest is back (or will be in April next year) in an all new edition which features some pretty awesome features like their new gameplay and the option of choosing fighting styles before a fight. The game takes place in a span of 25 years, starting from where Mortal Kombat 9 finished.
As usual, one thing has got the fans in 6s and 7s, The Roster. The dynamic duo, Scorpion and Sub-Zero will obviously be there, Raiden, Kano and Goro(?) have been confirmed as well. There have also been new inclusions such as Ferra & Torr, Cassie Cage, that insect bitch and Kotal Khan. While this is undoubtedly good news, some fans are split over the decision and are still wishing old classics like Fujin, Reiko, Jarek (Lol), Tanya, Lei Mei and so on would be added to the roster.

Now for DLC characters.
Gaming forums have been going wild over who players want to see in the next MK game, especially after discovering that Freddy Krueger would be fitted into the story somehow [insert Dream realm reference here] in the previous installment. Suggestions have gone from Predator to Jason Vorhees to Rorsach? To Master Chief to even Bugs Bunny for some weird reason. Ed really has a plethora of options here you know.
After Sony decided to incorporate the legendary god of war, Kratos, into MK9, Microsoft fan boys have been raging over the possibility of having John 117 in the Xbone version of it. While it does sound pretty exciting to have the chief in mortal kombat, I don't really think the Chiefs profile fits into Mortal Kombats brute and Gore style, perhaps Marcus Fenix would be more comfortable in these situations?
Predator is an interesting one because I feel he would fit the kombat perfect and no not because Cyber Sub Zero did look like him or anything, but if there's a chance he was included, I'm sure his moves would be quite similar, Suicide explosive fatality anyone?
Then comes the curious case of Jason Vorhees. The main reason he was suggested is because Freddy was included and because he's freaking Jason. Think about it? Jason Vorhees kicking Lui kangs ass while stubbing Johnny Cage with his epic sword? Not bad huh? Voorhees is also the most probable of the lot. It was even reported that he was considered for Mortal Kombat 9 instead of Freddy, and it’s rumored that NetherRealm actually built a full model for of him.
