Or plans changed. Or Shang can be unlocked. Like Brainiac in Injustice 2. He is a DLC, but you can also unlock him.
Brainiac wasn't DLC he was an unlockable character you could pay to unlock, there is a difference.

Yes I am drunken a bit but still I have to say it out loud for once...
Reptile not getting any love by Boon and Co and by the new generation fans is making me sick.
Reptile was, is and always be iconic for being the original secret character and 3rd ninja... and of course for his amazing potrayal in the GOAT movie.
But what have they done... Since 4 they try hard to make him a reptile... Yeah i got he is one... But the amazing thing was still that he was disguised as human... Instead they went even further in Deadly Alliance making him look like shit. Call me crazy... But for me a fighter named Reptile using a disguise as human is far more better than a fighter namked Reptile who even looks like a Reptile.
Why isn't Scorpion as Scorpion or Rain a raincloud? Come on.
But they had to correct it in MK 2011 and X... But now they again tried in the reboot to make him reptilian looking, which I have to admit looked far better, instead of going back to his true story... On top of that he is an absolute jobber in the stories and with all this mixed no one cared about him that much. He was the least used person in MK2011 and X... And that's how they destroyed an icon.
All other ninjas got more love in their redesigns and yeah even in the story like for example Smoke, who got an whole chapter, and of coruse Noob Saibot. Ermac and Rain are debateable but still they look true to themselves while still very unique.... And hell even Tremor looks far better and was potrayed far better.
So why Boon and Co doesn't understand what people liked about Reptile and how iconic he actually is instead of making him a mindless reptilian looking creature with no story purpose?
And with MK11 we have reached the top... He isn't even there!!! In Deception they tried to give us a reason but now... Nope nothing... Instead we get all of the Special Boring Forces
It is what it is, while I wouldn't mind his inclusion, it's fine if he sits out a game. While him being in Kotal's crew was nice he wasn't really doing much outside of that.
Its not fine when they include characters nobody asked for. They intentionally shun certain characters to make others look good. Like I previously stated, Johnny Cage was never that popular up until X. Fans didnt ask for that. They forced that shit. Because THEY like him. Its bullshit.
Maybe they are doing the whole Reptile is evolving storyline again for a post-credit cutscene.
About that Krypt avatar - isn't he a young Erron Black meeting Shang Tsung for the first time?
I can't find it. Even watched a whole playthrough of his Conquest mode. I know I've read that somewhere though. Unfortunately a lot of Deadly Alliance's info isn't well kept on the internet.
I have never seen a reliable source for this, but that was the story. But the Conquest I meant wasn't the Konquest. It was that show with Great Kung Lao, Taja, Siro, etc. That's the source used to backup this theory, because there was a reptile queen there, etc.
