this is complete bs. that's exactly what they tried to say in the beginning, the whole "so with the three variations, having 25 characters is like having 75 really" which is not true at all. just because a character plays more aggressively or more defensively or with buffs and crap, it doesn't mean it's like you got an extra character. a roster of just 24 is too low. yes, the NRS team moves forward after MK9 and injustice, they did a great job, their creativity shows by coming up with the three variations system and trying to make good characters this time around to move the series forward but that doesn't justify such a low roster, especially now that they'll bring so many new faces in the mix. other fighting games may not bring the experience MKX brings but they do have large rosters, they can bring the MKX experience along with a big roster as well, the 3 variants are no excuse and that's that. also, the DLC last time had no proper alternate outfit, no voice actor, no role in the story. I'm cool with the no story part but if they wanna charge five bucks per character again with not even a voice actor and no proper alternate outfit, it's a ripoff just like it was in MK9 and injustice.
