Poll: What MK4-MKA character would you like to see in MKX?

For this game, I'd love to have Fujin, Reiko, Tanya, Li Mei, and Kai.

For a future game, i'd like to see Hotaru, Havik, Ashrah, Shujinko, and Onaga.
 
Is that black Jesus? LOL

I may not like your designs but you surely are a good artist.

EDIT: I saw you have a very hispanic name, I just noticed you are from Chile.
 
It's incredible how Reiko's popularity has shot skyhigh because of his appearance in the comics. As a fan of him before he was popular (*cough*hipster*cough*), I think it's kinda funny to see. :P

Can someone break down for me in a reasonable unbiased manner why Havik is so popular.?

I absolutely do not get it.

Popularity cannot be unbiased. The whole reason a character is popular is because people like it, which automatically makes the reason biased. There's no logical explanation behind it, it's not like the MK team followed some recipe on "How to make a popular character". They were just lucky to put a character together that happens to appeal to many people, which is why he is so popular.

I could say "Because he is different than the rest of the roster", which is entirely true, however, that doesn't mean that every character that is different becomes popular. I could say it is "Because he is a Cleric of Chaos", but that doesn't mean that all characters who are clerics of chaos will become popular.

It's not what he is. Like with pre-comic Reiko, it's what he has the potential to become.

He already has a unique appearance and moveset, looking like a skeletal warrior and fighting like a madman. These can be emphasized more to make him truly stand out. He comes from Chaosrealm, so his motivations can be completely different from anyone else's. They already are, but right now they are this in a very shallow way. He has a built-in rivalry with Hotaru and rivalries are fun.
