As far as Hotaru is concerned, aside from the 7 post-MK3 characters that I listed, the rest I didn't like.
Didn't like him back then, but that doesn't mean NRS can't make him better for MK10.
Fujin, Havik, Reiko, Tanya, Kenshi (again in MK10), Sareena and Nitara are the only MK
thru MK:A characters that I care about for MK10.
