Re: Fourth DLC character theory, not bull shit guessing
Not sure about Kintaro. I mean, your theory could have something to it, but really..... why only release Kintaro and not Goro too? Frankly, I'd rather have Goro playable if it was just one of the two.
Personally, I'm really thinking it will be either Cyber-Smoke, Tanya or Fujin.
Cyber-Smoke - The only MK1-3 character now NOT represented, and with the timeline shift as it is and Sub-Zero being converted instead of Smoke, Cyber-Smoke simply will not be in MK10 or beyond, so this would be his last chance for an appearance, canonical or not. Besides, that would balance out the number of cyborgs in the game to a nice and even four.
Tanya - Like Skarlet, her model is already in the game (as a replacement in Khan's Arena for Kitana). Outside of the story itself (where anything can be done), I do believe she's the only one who has this going for them. And no, the tiny people fighting in the background of the stages don't count; they're simply too small to be fleshed out enough. It may not be much, but it's still something.
Fujin - As already mentioned, there was that DLC leak video a while back where, although it was just a generic model used, in the character selection, the announcer specifically names Fujin. Like Tanya, it's not much, but it's still something. Since these four characters will undoubtedly NOT be the last DLC fighters we see, it's quite possible his name being done would be a sign that eventually he will be released, whether he's the mystery fighter or not. Remember, these types of DLC leaks are how we first saw Skarlet's fatality (as unpolished as it was), her alternate that for whatever reason wasn't included, as well as our first view of klassic Cyrax and Sektor.
Personally, I'm leaning more towards it being Cyber-Smoke, simply due to the fact it's the very last chance ever for his inclusion. Fans would then get something of a send off before he fades into memories of MK passed.
