That would be such a d%ck move. We got Jason and Predator. Enough. This is MK not MK: All brutal, horror, carnage based characters put in one game instead of F%KING CANON MK CHARACTERS. If they gonna put Myers, that means they will need to do everything from scratch and that means that they gonna sacrifice precious character slot for a EFFING guest character instead of making a character which is MK based and is more requested. GODF%^KINGDAMMIT

I mean who the hell wants Myers? He is cool character but he also holds a knife. So what he also gonna get invulnerable charge?

I have given up on Frost, but in this case I hope it will be Sareena as it is more requested.

I remember that. But the difference this time is that this is an official announcement and there is really no reason why they would troll us. Yes, we've been trolled a lot. But my feeling is this time this is what we're getting. And I think these characters, along with what I wrote, makes sense.

If I'll be wrong, I'll apologize. But I'm calling it now. We're getting Baraka, Bo Rai Cho, Fujin and Michael Myers starting early February - concluding with the Komplete Edition in May and an announcement of Injustice 2 at E3 in June.

There's no real reason why NRS / Boon would ever troll us, but they do.
You may be wrong or you may be right.

That's fine, but I choose to take the silhouettes (for now) with a grain of salt.
I'll be 1 of the first to say "Hey, you were right," if you turn out to be right on some or all of those, but for now I'll just wait and see.

Whether a certain guest "belongs" or not is irrelevant.
It's whether or not people will buy it.
MK9 and MKX have proven that guests can top DLC sales charts, and NRS would have to be a bunch of fools to not at least consider it, given all the cash they'd be rolling in.
I know that Freddy was the top selling MK9 DLC, and I have a good feeling that Predator and Jason are #1 and #2 in DLC sales for MKX.
While I also want KP2 to JUST be 4 MK characters, I can't also rule out the possibility of a guest.

I know I know. Then they AT least should do most requested characters.

That's not Michael Myers. The REAL Michael Myers is a real life Canadian-British-American (yes, he carries citizenship in 3 countries) comedy actor who began his career on Saturday Night Live, was one of Bill Swerski's Superfans on that show (a group of Chicago sports homers who idolize Mike Ditka and Michael Jordan and are known for the catchphrase "Da Bears"), and was the top-billed star of movies such as Wayne's World, Austin Powers, and Shrek

While I agree with all 3 of you that putting in Myers instead of another MK character (potentially Sareena) would suck for us a lot, and would make me as a Sareena fan super-pi$$ed, WB is sadly all about money. If they can have more koins, they'll find a way to get them. And considering Freddy outsold everyone in MK9 and Predator/Jason likely outsold everyone in KP1, it's likely they'll do one more - as absurd and extreme it may be from our point of view. Maybe it wasn't originally planned, but plans change. And when you accept that and start thinking about whom it could be, there really aren't that many characters left. Sure, there are dozens of horror/slasher characters. But how many of them are popular enough and how many of the popular ones you can see being in MK considering gameplay, looks, investment and time? That number instantly boils down to a select few. And it's obvious it'll be some horror/slasher character again, because they're not doing consoles exclusives anymore and out of the other ones there really isn't one that would work - Spawn, Joker, Terminator were all deconfirmed - and horror characters seems to work.

I can understand why you're skeptical about this [MENTION=5028]Commander[/MENTION] and I don't blame you. But after giving it a big thought, I'm 100% positive Baraka, Bo Rai Cho, Fujin and Michael Myers are our next characters. As for who wants Myers [MENTION=16568]Misucra[/MENTION], check Twitter. Type in Michael Myers [MENTION=633]noobde[/MENTION] and see those thousands of tweets since last year.

Would you guys be okay with these 4? Who'd be upset about not getting Rain or Sindel? And who'd be upset about not getting Li Mei or Sareena?

Oh, I agree, but with the exception to Tremor that doesn't seem to be the case.

I dunno.

I'd be fine with those 4, if they were true.
I'd be a little bummed about Sareena not being in, but at the same time if Fujin is announced for KP2 I'll main him and drop Sub-Zero the minute that he comes out as DLC.
Rain and Sindel sitting out for MKX wouldn't bother me 1 bit.
Rain was my main for MK9, but I'm not double dipping to buy him again, and Sindel can stay dead / a NetherRealm zombie for all I care.
Time to move past the old timeline Trilogy characters and give more of the post-MK3 debut characters a 2nd chance.
 
Guests sell well but licenses are expensive, so do they really make that much of a difference in earnings (not sales) compared to regular MK characters?

While that is a valid question, the sales as well as earnings are usually so much higher than what companies originally invested that the large initial investment doesn't really bother them - not just MK DLC, but in general (for eg. when a company buys a different company/product or a dying franchise). Just look at NRS (Midway). WB invested millions in them and already got them back multiple times. And that was just a few years ago and a few games...

Not to mention, in the case of Michael Myers, sales are guaranteed. Because...
a) he's a known/popular character
b) he's requested
c) he has a new movie coming out next year

So whatever royalties NRS/WB have to pay, they'll get them back in a few months. Plus it's not just about money, but also staying relevant. With KP2 MKX will stay relevant till summer or more.

What would be a bigger douchebag move: having Rain as DLC twice in a row or having Sindel and Baraka as DLC, leaving Rain as the only NPC who doesn't become playable? Damn, Rain (and his fans) is in such a bad spot, he should have been in the roster at launch IMO.

A bigger douche move, imo, is having Rain as DLC again.
Not only is it a spot that could go to another character, but NRS would have fans paying twice for the same DLC character in another MK game.
As much as I hate the idea of more Trilogy characters as DLC, Baraka would sell like hot-cakes and Sindel is the only remaining obligatory female character with a fully functioning no-variation AI model.
 
I agree. They should've put Rain in over Kung Lao. There's also Kitana, Liu Kang and Jax... but out of these 4, which already are questionable, Kung Lao is the most useless one in the game (sorry fans). That spot should have gone to Baraka or Rain. Having Rain as DLC 2x in a row as well as excluding him sucks. Not really a Rain fan, but it still sucks. Even if he was in MK9. Hopefully all the overlooked characters will get proper treatment in MK11.

This.

I. Never. Like. The. Gameplay. Of. Female. Characters. In. MK. Games. Why? Because they don't fit my play style. Also, I said MK games, NOT all games.

Jax was made before Sonya.

Sheeva plays like Goro. Jacqui plays more like Sektor than anything. 'Female characters' don't have a specific MK playstyle. If you don't like playing as girls that's fine, just be real about it!

Jax was not made before Sonya. The original plan was for a black guy named Kurtis Stryker. That got canned and Sonya was created instead. There is no way you can logically interpret Sonya as derivative of Jax.

I'm fine with playing as girls in other games. But I already said, there has never been a female character in a MK GAME that I like the gameplay of. Not that the character is a girl, but because I don't like their gameplay.
 
Seems like Skarlet truly is a one and done. Shame, I really liked using her in the previous game and thought her concept was basic but cool nevertheless. I'd pay for her as DLC again.

At this point it doesn't really matter what they do. People will always find something to complain about. Even if they made another game including every single previous kharacter at least one person will complain about the lack of fan favourites like Khrome , No Face and Fire God.

Maybe not in this game, but MK X will hardly be the last one in this franchise. Sure she’s not going to appear in every single game from now on but she shows up every two or three games.
 
I see I really am the only Li Mei lover here. I have always DISPISED Li Mei before, but this story mode really made me like her a lot. They really could do something more Chun Li-ish or Xiaoyu-ish. She already has a few moves of her own, but I really feel a female inspired in Chinese martial arts is missing in MK. Her design SCREAMS that all the way.

But Sareena or Frost are completely ok for me.
