Fujin
Sareena
Rain
Smoke
Reiko
Havik
Li Mei

Any 4 of those 7 I'd be ok with.

My guess is Baraka/Sindel/Rain/Fujin. I just want Sindel and Fujin I'm gold with whoever else.

Would love Li Mei or Sareena but I'm sure we get only one more female and I'm loyal to my queen.

Can I just say that the mention of Fujin in the last character's ending of "Kombat Pack 1" makes me giddy?

Also, the two MK character's endings of the pack both mention or include a cameo of prospective future DLC. (Tanya>Rain/Tremor>Fujin)

Instead of coincidence, I'm gonna take this as a hint of things to come.

Over-analytical? Meh.

My dream pack?
Noob
Smoke
Cyrax
Sektor

however,if we had to be a little more realistic(also counting a potential deconfirmation of Smoke by Boon on Twitter,although,the man is such a troll,you never know if he's telling the truth or not)
Noob
Cyrax
Baraka
Fujin

Shang Tsung deserves a mention as well.

Fujin
Rain
Sindel
Baraka

The most highly-requested (Fujin), and the three that have gameplay models ready to go and just need to be floated some variations (Sindel, Rain, Baraka). I think that's the easy route that they'll take. As a bonus, wind funnel cloud animations are already in the game. Easy to slap Fujin in.

Who I'd like, though?

Fujin - Because he's relevant to this conflict and highly requested. Should've been in from Day 1, and NRS knows it.

Rain - See above.

Jade - My fave, admittedly, but there is SOMETHING going on with her and that shimmering woman who doesn't like where this timeline is heading. This situation reminds me of Blaze's mission being hinted at in Deadly Alliance and Unchained before being brought to the fore. There's a subplot brewing here and we need a bit more of an explanation. Scrap Mournful Kitana and give her something else, like a sword.

Sareena - She really is long overdue for a proper appearance outside of a "gang's all here!" game. But more importantly, she knows how to break from the influence of the Netherrealm's evil. This is probably why she was with Kenshi and Jax in the Netherrealm. Now that Quan Chi is out of the picture for the forseeable future, the alive Earthrealm warriors have no way to free the revenants. Granted Liu and Kitana will still be the rulers of hell, perhaps her ending could have her free Nightwolf, Stryker, and Kabal.
EDITED: First sentence clarified to avoid confusion.

QUEEN SINDEL ♡♡♡

100% agreed.

No disrespect to fans of Baraka, Rain, or Sindel but NRS putting them in the game is being lazy. It'd be so much more interesting to make a character from the ground up like Sareena or Havik. You know, people we haven't seen in YEARS.

While I don't expect any of these:

Noob-Saibot
Sektor
Reiko
Havik

(And Sareena...)

I hope NRS settles on gameplay a bit so we can start getting 30ish man rosters from the start.

So what? Liu Kang, Kitana and Kung Lao are dead and they were in the game. Goro doesn't have any arms and even he is in the game arms intact.
Scorpion is alive yet was marketed and has moves revolving around him still being an undead hellspawn.

And until the game story acknowledges whatever Kittelsen wrote in the comic I'm sorry but I am disregarding this "still possesses the power of hellfire" stuff seeing how we saw no hints of it in MKX.

I don't see why a thing like death- heck! story, should get in the way of the roster (I'm actually not being sarcastic there)

lol MKX is the perfect example of story not mattering when it comes to roster selection.

I don't consider Sindel to be a "highly requested" character at all. If anything people keep putting her on the lists because she is an NPC and likely to be in the kombat pack two just for that reason alone, before MKX came out almost NOBODY had Sindel on their roster wishlists. I really don't want to see this character as DLC because there are so many other characters like Sareena, Havik, or Reiko that have loads of potential. I really don't want a "story pack" either, because it sounds boring as fuck to me for the exception of Fujin. Rain would be okay, and I guess Baraka would be kinda cool too but there are so many other characters that they could choose.

I guess my "dream" KP2 would be

Fujin
Reiko
Havik
Sareena

Remember the good ole days when we all thought there was going to be a roster composed of mostly newbies and deserving 3-d era characters.


Ahhhh, good times.

Lol Yeah I don't mean to come off as condescending but it was never ever the majority that thought that.
Yep, plus it's a fighting game so I don't know why everyone always brings up story and narrative when it comes to bringing characters in. So what? I just want my favorite mutant wolverine rip off in the game. I don't care if he has any narrative value.

Ha, true. Rose tented glasses I suppose.

I agree to some extent about pick characters for their gameplay potential. .. but I still like them to have a decent plot. I think part of the recent MK games shortfalls, is that it's now more like a movie instead of a tv series.

There is only one main plot and everything else there supports that plot. Where in old games everyone was attempted to be given something to do.

Yup, the pitfalls of a dedicated story mode. The lore was ironically a lot better when they were just slinging endings at a wall and going with what stuck.

Nobody ever believed that, lol, and deserving is very subjective, the developers seem to think only Kenshi, Quan, Shinnok and Tanya are

Lmao, well shit, my naïve is showing.

And sadly, the developers are wrong.

Would you all be happy if we got

Cyborg - With a Cyrax, Sektor & Smoke Variation
Baraka
Rain
Sindel


If I got to pic

Havik
Reiko
Bo Rai Cho
Sareena

With Compatibility Characters(With 1 Variation) instead of Costumes

Baraka
Rain
Sindel

I wish they would just make every game with more characters. The one game that had a decent amount of characters was the worst game due to those bullshit chain fatalities. 2 DLC packs is a lot of money for one game. And enough of the guest characters. They suck.

But if they are going to add more, I'll take Sindel. Always been a fan of hers. I don't really care who else is there.

Again, that would NEVER happen. The compatibility characters would likely be very boring to play compared to the rest of the cast, and they would never be allowed in tournaments.

The Cyborg is an idea i've seen floating around for awhile now, and while it's an interesting idea I just don't see NRS being able to pull that off.

You and Detox hit the nail right on the fucking head. I preferred when there was one major event occurring and mini stories happening throughout.

Like in Deception, we have Onaga seizing power and waging war against Mileean and the Outworld/Edenian military

Then we had the stories like Sub-Zero and Kenshi's trekking through Outworld and out maneuvering Hotaru and the Tarkata ect.

Story mode needs to go. We need a new system that allows us to see each characters individual story throughout the events of the game.

Something like MKDA's konquest mode or Killer Instinct's story mode.

For once I agree with you on something. It gets really aggravating when certain characters get the spotlight on them, but we have other characters just occupying space.

Ferra/Torr is a prime example....I could not wait to see them in action and learn more about their background, but we barely got anything.....except a shit ton of questions left unanswered.
