Re: The ??? DLC character.
The characters that I want for DLC after Skarlett, Kenshi, and Rain are:
Cyborg Smoke (who I would choose over any of them)
Tanya
Reiko
Fujin
Kai
another new character
I think it will either be Reiko or Fujin. After this set of 4, I'm hoping they do other characters later, like Tanya and C. Smoke. I will be mad if they just do a Cyborg Smoke costume for Human Smoke, as opposed to a new character.
Cyborg smoke wont be his "own" character. All he will be, is an alternate costume for the already available Human Smoke! He will have ALL the same moves, just a different look to him. The reason being is because Human Smoke and Cyborg Smoke are BOTH the same person. As the story line goes, Human smoke is turned into cyborg smoke! So they wouldn't make two of the same character. Look at the example that they already show in the game (Sub-Zero and Cyber Sub-Zero), they are BOTH DIFFERENT people (The original Sub-Zero and his younger brother).
Umm...what? The Sub-Zero in the game IS the same person as Cyber Sub-Zero. When you play as Sub-Zero in Story mode, you play as the brother, (the original died in the beginning of Story mode) who then gets transformed into Cyber Sub-Zero.
I hope that clears things up for you and anyone else thinking that Cyborg Smoke will be a DLC character in the future.... Its just NOT gonna happen! If anything, they will just make Cyborg Smoke an alternate costume for Human smoke (Same concept as human Sektor and human cyrax)!
You speak with such confidence, like you work at NRS or something.

Who cares that there are 2 of the same character in the game. Cyber Sub-Zero and Sub-Zero are the same person in MK9, and they've done it with UMK3 with the 2 Smokes, what makes you think that they won't again? A Cyborg Smoke (or any DLC character for that matter) would not be canon if NRS doesn't want it too. It's just an extra character for the fans.

My thoughts on "???"
1) They don't have a character planned yet, just that they want to do one. This is why he is the only ??? spot.
Boon in an E3 interview said that these first 4 are already decided and being worked on. Any other characters after this, they are still deciding.
