Re: The most realistic DLC expectations
I think some people misunderstood the creator's initial idea, or maybe I did. I think he refers as "first apperance" as the first time you could use the characters, not see them (read his Reptile description) which for Ermac, it is valid to give him his UMK3 kustome, because that's when he first became playable, same for Rain.
I must say, asking for a MK3 ninja pack is completely useless and repetitive, the ninjas have enough costumes already (specially the females). Sadly, the majority of online players will be seen using either Scorpion/Smoke/Subzero, so it would be a good selling point for NRS, but really what would make the perfect Klassic pack #2 (IMO) would be a MK1 or MK2 kostume pack for the rest of the non-ninja characters (Raiden, Kano, Sonya, Kung Lao, Liu Kang, etc)
Some fatalities would be pretty good addition to the pack #2, because a lot of the mentioned characters are really f'd up in their fatalities (Raiden, Kano, Shang Tsung) so some classic fatalities would bring the game into a new shine and inspire players to start using someone other than the ninjas!!
