Oh dear, should have done some research.

A) the updated select screen is 26. Goro and DLC being 25 and 26, B) that select screen isn't final, it's beta. MK DA, MK D and MK9 didn't have their final select screens unveiled until just a few weeks before the games released.

MK9 had 27 at launch, not 28.

Aha! It had 28 if you had the PS3 or Vita version. ;)

I'm glad they increased the roster, even though i wanted it to be bigger than the last game. I will reserve further judgement until i see the final roster. My concern is that they start making lots of new characters no one cares about and ignore the fan favorites.

These games hinge alot on the characters, and i think that making more than 4 new characters usually leads to a mistake as people that dont have their favorites returning will be pissed. I think they did quite a bit of that in the past and it diluted the fanbase. Thats what was so great about MK9. They brought back all the fan favorites from the original trilogy. Just like SF4, they need to grab that and slowly add new characters, because that is always going to be a hit or miss situation.

To be honest i am already quite annoyed about it because i dont like any of the new characters. Maybe the Cage girl... but that was just a cheap fusion of Cage and Sonya. I also wish they would reveal some more story about these new characters so we can actually care.
