Fair. "Pressure" is the wrong word to use, but I really, really don't think it would hurt to show them that there's a massive interest in Fujin.
I'm saying this as someone whose favorite character is Smoke, but I'm not going to lobby to have him shoved in, because I recognize Smoke got himself an outstanding showing last time. If I've gotta deal with him being gone this time, I'm okay with that.
My point is: I've never seen anything but support for Fujin despite rare appearances, and I don't think Tremor wouldn't be around if not for years of people nagging them about him. They're reaping their rewards right now. Fan interest and discussion makes shit in this series happen - see Skarlet.
It's easy to say that MKX's DLC is all set in stone, but they've gone on record as saying those characters aren't even done yet; for all we know they're looking at candidates for the next wave right now; I'm expecting the DLC slots here to at least match Injustice's.
I think Fujin legitimately deserves to be in this game; you know they've considered him. Hell, they considered him for MK9. They're probably considering him right now.
I don't want to pressure them, but I do want to show them there's interest. That's all.
I understand what you mean.
I think the surest way of showing support for a character, of accentuating demand for his/her presence, is to be vocal about it, but in the right way, through the right channels. Some of the responses in this very thread (the productive ones, including yours) show that kind of support.
I think gorging NRS's twitter feeds, and even petitions to an extent, are counterproductive methods. Like you said, "pressure" is not the tool that should be used. I think we can all agree that NRS is pretty damn good about listening to its fans. They should even be praised for this, given how acrid and unpleasant some MK fans can be. So talking about certain characters in the forums, wearing sigs and avatars, maybe occasionally tweeting them with something expressive and well-written as opposed to a Wall of Whine riddled with spelling and grammatical errors---
that's the way to show support.
One of the biggest reasons I started posting here again after such a long time is that I got tired of recurring, flimsy and unwarranted statements about Sonya's presence in the game, which was thought of by more than few people to be automatically "redundant" because of her afterthought's inclusion as a new character. I wanted to counter that with my support, so my first few posts after a lengthy hiatus were basically aimed at abrogating these allegations. And I honestly feel that, from that, more people started showing support, more fans of hers started posting, and the tide was turned even before her announcement. This is the way to do it, I think.
So please, don't start a movement to assault NRS's twitter feeds. We don't want to harm this symbiotic relationship.
Props to MINION
I feel so alone, gonna end up a Big ole pile of them bones.
