This potentially turns the leaked DLC conversation upside down. Or he's trolling.

Nothing unusual for MK series.

Has anyone thought that Ash means Ashrah?

Or Ashton Kutcher?

Would prefer this personally

This may only infer that he himself won't be appearing in the game.

However, considering he does not own the IP of Ash Williams, he doesn't get a real say in whether or not the character will appear.

I would prefer if he didn't appear, though. One less shitty film character to worry about.

Cary Tagawa did the same thing before Shang Tsung was confirmed as DLC. Most likely its a stunt to abide by the NDA contract he signed. That twitter post doesn't negate the possibility of Ash being DLC.

Meanwhile, 3 days earlier...

Bruce Campbell's Twitter

As Nemesis already pointed out, Tagawa pulled the same thing. I'm still hopeful. Ash would be the most hype choice for a guest as far as I'm concerned.

Well I'll personally be happy if this is true. I'd rather Ashrah or possibly a brand new character named Ash. I could easily see a brand new created character named Ash as DLC.

Hate this character but if it bringing sales then yeah

So people just hate The Evil Dead on this board?

Or they just hate guest characters in general, which is understandable

It really boggles the mind. Though it may not necessarily be hate against Ash or The Evil Dead franchise, just this weird obsession with keeping MK “pure”.

For me, I'm not about keeping MK pure, but rather I just don't like the idea of random guest characters.

I hated Darth Vader and Yoda in Soulcalibur IV as well. Just didn't make any sense. I feel the same for all the horror characters that have appeared in MK. The only (impending) guest character I'm okay with is Spawn.

Imagine liking Mortal Kombat.

Oh yes please....no more guest characters! 4 were already too many. I want a MK characters not someone who isn't part of a MK lore...

Imagine acting like you can't enjoy both.

Until they can make a future mk game with the entire roster of popular characters.... Then the DLC shouldn't be guest characters ever. MKX was already horrible and could of done better with returning characters and not all those horror villains. Make a terrordome game if you want all of them..i will surely purchase it and ash would make a great addition there as well. MK should be MK and injustice should be injustice.... They both dont need to share characters or similar comic book layout themes. MK11 is very much like avengers with the timeline shit and the people turning to.dust when they die and Its very much DC like. Give it that original MK3 vibe with that mk1 music vibe and add in a tournament again.

I think he is trolling.

Or Ash Ketchum?

Does this then bring into question the credibility of the data leak entirely? NRS has been super hush about DLC since Shang's teaser reveal.

Met Bruce Campbell at Niagara Falls Comic-Con this weekend. When we were walking away, my son said he can't wait to play as Ash in MK11. Bruce just smiled, winked, and said "we'll see."


My nephew also asked him about the corpse butthole scene from Ash vs. Evil Dead. So we literally got to discuss buttholes with Bruce Campbell for five minutes, haha!

He's trolling and having fun with his NDA.

A lot of folks on these boards really need to come to terms with the guest characters. We're getting an equal number of DLC guest characters to DLC MK characters from here on out. The last two of this first pack are gonna be guests because, to WB, the guest characters are more important. They're the money makers.

The casual fan is the market - the people to be enticed to drop that $4.99 for a singular DLC character. If you don't care about Mortal Kombat, your likely not gonna drop too much cash unless the characters are cool and recognizable. Most people don't care about the lore, they care about the gore. I mean, you can pay to unlock Frost for fuck's sake. WB knows a large section of the casual market doesn't care to bother with the story, so they wanna get those lazy dollars.

To WB, the MK DLC fighters are the parasitic bunch. Sure they'll sell a few stand alones to fans like us, but nowhere near as many as the guests. That's where the pairing comes from- that's why the Kombat Packs are always mixed guest and MK. People who just wanna get the whole pack with cosmetics aren't gonna parse it out to save $5. Get a casual to drop $20 out of their desire to get Jason, Predator, and Carl Weathers and make it feel like a bargain by giving them a little garnish. "Y'know for $20, you'll get Tremor and Tanya too." Does anyone really think that if they split the Kombat packs into guest pack and MK pack that the MK pack would come close in sales?

I'm a Mortal Kombat fan. I've been on these boards for ages, but I didn't even buy the MK characters until I got a copy of XL for $19.99.

Sindel and Nightwolf may sell some casual players based off of design and trailers. Shang Tsung for the same reason as well as some familiarity and movie nostalgia. But to pit them sales-wise against Spawn or Ash Williams? Not gonna be a real competition. Boot up MKX and look at the character usage stats and you'll see.

I hate to be Mr. Downer, but it's profits that matter when it comes to DLC, and guests make money.

Yup - like I said in another thread - Bruce basically deconfirmed his deconfirmation of Ash with a tweet. He's playing around and trolling just like Boon would. Cary Tagawa did the same thing. Arnold, if he is voicing Terminator, will probably do this as well. He's not really the trolling type but he knows how to have fun with fans.
