I still haven't watched the whole story mode apart from a few scenes.
There are three characters in particular that caught my attention for several reasons: Tanya, Rain and Frost.
Look, all these characters were completely redesigned for X. Definitely not the same situation for the revenants. You even fight Tanya and Rain in an actual vs fight in the story mode. I am not getting it. They could have very well been part of the roster. Considering Kitana, Liu Kang and Kung Lao didn't even come back to life, they could have easily been out of this game.
Tanya is DLC, yes, fine (and quite honestly, she's now my most expected character out of the pack). But seriously what are the real chances of Rain and Frost being DLC at this point? It just feels incomplete to me quite honestly. The roster felt very unbalanced before and now more so. There really wasn't any particular reason for Tanya or Rain to be excluded from the final roster other than them not being popular enough and NRS not actually wanting them to be part of it.
I am a huge Tanya and Rain fan, I love Rain's new outfit. I am just feeling underwhelmed I cannot actually play him in this game, when you have a brand new Rain (albeit with MK9 specials that is) in the story mode. The same for Frost and Sareena, I mean: Sareena, the most under developped character of pre-MK9 games. Not to freaking mention Fujin, who's too eye-candy not to be playable.
The roster would feel much more awesome and unique with Rain, Tanya, Fujin, Sareena and Frost in it. I am not saying there are wasted spots or they should been there instead of X and Y. I am fine with those 25 characters. All I am saying is that NRS went the easy path (again of course). Now I get why they got pretty lazy with Kitana and Liu's variations. I guess I was expecting them to be more "Deception-ish" in X, but oh well...
What are your thoughts about this?
