Ed's twitter has been tweeting KP2 lately. Either he is trolling or they will announce something soon. I do think Rain is not going to be DLC given how Ed said that they are not doing DLC repeats from MK9. I rather see someone new as DLC then another character that was DLC in MK9 again.
 
I do wonder with Royal Storm Kitana and Tempest Kung Lao (and potentially Sindel) how they'd differentiate Fujin's moveset. I'm sure they'd come up with something, though.

I think with Ed tweeting that video we can all but confirm Rain/Sindel/Baraka. Hopefully more will be on the way as well.

You lack imagination.

There is a lot of potential with wind moves, which clearly wouldn't comprise his entire move set anyway.

For example, you could give Fujin a zoning variation in which he used a gust of wind to blow the opponent back away from him, and then an EX version which maybe pushes them further back and does some damage. There could also be an inverse of this, in which the opponent is pushed from behind, so they move towards Fujin so he can close in on them. Simply having two moves like this (which could lock onto the opponent, like Shinnok's skeletal moves do) would make for a very powerful play style. (Although it could also backfire on you of course, which is where the risk-reward comes into play).

You could have a more close-range variation in which he uses his staff from Story mode; being bladed, the staff would be slower-paced than Kung Jin's but do a little more damage. After all, Fujin is not a trained Shaolin monk, even though he fights alongside them at times. It would be silly to not use it, though, given how awesome it looked in that chapter.

Honestly, there are loads of things you could do with Fujin, as we will likely find out soon enough. He clearly won't play anything like Kitana or Kung Lao, in the same way as Scorpion and Liu Kang don't play like one another despite both being associated with the element of fire.
 
Why do people still insist that if they make some character, they're going to be playing alike to another? My goodness, look at everyone in X. I dare you to find one person that plays so similar towards another. But you can't, because no one does.

It's like the whole argument if they were to add Frost in. People complaining about how they couldn't because she'd be too similar towards Sub-Zero. But there's different ways to portray her Cryomancer abilities.

I don't have too much faith in the writers, but I do have a lot of faith with those who create the moves for these guys. If Fujin is to be in the game, he won't play as Kitana and Kung Lao. That's just dumb.
 
Oh, I'm sure he'll be different! It's just that a lot of Fujin's classic gameplay is now covered by those variations. They'll have to get creative, but I've no doubt they can and they will.
 
I am f***ing sick of hearing requests for Spawn. Isn't he a super hero of some kind? Would he not make more sense as Injustice DLC?

It's bad enough we got Jason Voorhees, although if he sold well and contributes to other MK characters being added then fair enough with me, but please no more guest characters.

Goro doesn't add to KP1 at all.

I'm with you 1000%. Please god just MK Characters. We got 2 characters. Let's get someone like Li Mei or Fujin instead of Spawn.
Either way didn't Ed say that spawn couldn't be in the game due to a fallout between developers? Why do people still expect him?

Why he would be in Injustice 2? He fits better in MKX due to his violent nature. Also Spawn is the only superhero that would work in MKX given how Ed Boon already said no to Marvel characters being guest in MK and DC does not want their characters in MK. Spawn would be out of place in Injustice since it's a T rated game and he can't do his cool violent moves. Spawn also made to be anti Marvel/DC, so having him be in a DC game would make no sense. Even someone like Goku would have a better chance being Injustice 2 DLC then Spawn and even that is unlikely.

I never saw any proof of that? Ed said that Spawn was consider for a guest fighter in MKX, but never made a deal with Todd a while back.

Too many characters and Ed already said no to Rain being DLC for MKX before many times. I think KP2 will be like this:

Fujin
Female fighter
MK9 fighter
Guest

Rain, Sindel, Baraka, and Fujin. Calling it. You can replace any character in there with Sareena.

Shredder Sub Zero (costume), Baraka, Bo Rai Cho, Spawn, and Kabal would be a pack I'd want to buy. But the above characters (Rain, Sindel, Baraka, and Fujin) would be more LIKELY.
 
Yeah, the fourth character is almost certainly going to be Fujin. I think everyone's agreed on that. Unless they pull out another guest character instead, but god I hope not.
 
An I missing something? Have they even said they are doing a combat pack 2? At this point if it's not announced I don't think it's happening.

Not yet, but there is evidence that indicates that there may be one.

- Tyler's "That's it for Kombat Pack one" on stream
- KP1 was released very quickly
- Boon's plethora of hints on twitter. Seriously, he's been hinting at it for over a week now, and when he hints at something this much it's not going to not happen.
- MKX is the best selling game of 2015 so far. It would be stupid to not cash in on more DLC.
 
My guess is it will coincide with the announcement of ESL Season 2, which according to the ESL guy on TYM will be sometime after PAX Seattle. So end of August, beginning of September.
