You just proved my point.

1. Business strategies. They are trying to see how a character with no large install base (like Skarlet and unlike Rain and Kenshi) and less fan demand will sell, so that they can an idea of how largely requested characters like Rain will sell. It's like with box office, you can't judge how much Super 8 would have grossed based on Transformers 3's box office, as Transformers 3 is an established franchise with a large built-in fanbase, like how Rain is an established character with a large built-in base. Skarlet corresponds to Super 8; Super 8 is an original property with no built-in fanbase, and Skarlet is a new character with no install base to anchor its revenue. Why do you think Skarlet was before Kenshi, and Kenshi is before Rain? Rain would sell well regardless if he was the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th or even the very last DLC character, so he's not a good gauge at all for how their DLC characters will sell.

2. They are trying to keep people supporting the game and attention away from their competitors. Releasing their big guns right away would ruin that, and it would also eliminate much of the demand for future DLC characters (like Skarlet and Kenshi).

I don't really agree with #1 because everyone I know is collecting all DLC, either it's Rain or someone else. But you are totaly right with #2. I didn't thought of it that way. Keeping the hype about Rain will keep the fans interested in MK.
 
i'm all for Rain in this, totally with you 100%, he's awesome i love all the ninja but him especially as one of my favorite evil guys. just one question though that came to my mind by the pictures u have up here do any of you guys know if they are doing a Cyber-Smoke? like what Smoke would have been like if he had been transformed liek he was supposed to cause personalyl i never liked the whole cyber-sub-zero thing. i'd love for him to be an DLC too

cyborg Smoke is requested and probably already in Ed's mind. nothing to confirm him out yet , if he does come out as DLC it will probably be in a fall/winter DLC programme but for now we got no idea if they even plan on more characters after the 4th one in august
 
noobde
WOW, just saw a (soon to be released) Vignette video. Looks like there's a Rain of Terror coming to MK!
 
I'm digging the whole royal ninja look Rain's got goin' on for his outfit. Fox17's avatar allowed me to examine at Rain's render (from the Season Pass spotlight ad on XBL) and I gotta say that it looks better than when I first saw it; his revamped look is on par with the revamped looks for Ermac and Noob, and much better than the revamped look for Smoke, IMO.

Look at my avatar, that doesnt look like MKA Rain to me...
 
Rain is finally gonna have the glory he's always deserved! NRS is gonna regret not having included him in the game (or not, considering the € and $ they're gonna earn from his sales).
 
I would love if MK 2011 Rain could have his MKT special move, Mind Control Orb ..... you can imagine how many possibilities for juggle combo starter after using that move, hehe ......

XD

I hope not, is too random, Rain should not have psichic powers, if they include that waterball as just a waterball that pushes you back or maybe pop ups you like reptile's forceball, then AWESOME, but mind controlling waterball sucks, it makes no sense, since Rain is a water and lightning guy, not a telekinetic fighter like Ermac and Kenshi, besides water powers made Rain unique (even more in MKA) so making him another telekinetic guy would kill his uniqueness.
