Tremor only has a background cameo at best in the story mode and guess who's joining Tanya in the Kombat Pack....

Being killed in story shouldn't play a big role for who gets to be DLC.

Sareena and Baraka should be first because they're most likely not going anywhere or brought back after being in X.
Dead villains (not counting Revenant heroes) don't seem to come back this time around so it's really a "now or never" thing for those two.


Fujin, Li Mei, Frost and Bo all have solid chances on making the next game.

Rain is still around with Tanya, Sindel has the slim chance of coming back as a revenant I suppose but considering everyone is probably still feeling a tad annoyed at MK9's group death scene I doubt she'll be back.

Let's also consider Boon has been hinting at Cyrax a bunch.

he may be hinting at him,being in MKX,although not as playable character. There are rumors that Cyrax's one of the secret fights in the living towers.

I'm glad players are being vocal about the NPCs.

This is better than nothing....came across this:

Rain,Tanya and Smoke,in particular
Tanya's DLC,Rain has a small,but at least somewhat noticeable role in the story(he rescues Mileena from getting killed,so he does something at least), and Smoke seems to be one of the most heavily featured ones: he's in a faction kill,shows up in several story cutscenes(even has dialogue),and SUPPOSEDLY,he's one of the secret living tower fights.(along with Rain,as well,apparently)
Still sad Fujin got screwed over again. He's a good character,even planned on at least 3 different occasions(MKDA,D,and 9,as DLC) and he didn't make it in ONCE. I'm actually even surprised they bothered to make a model for him.
Mind you,this is coming from a non Fujin fan,I simply like the character,but I guess Raiden's here,and thus,what's the point of adding in Fujin,right? at least,I assume that's what NRS thinks about Fujin.
I would love it if it were both Fujin and Smoke,maybe Cyrax as well as DLC.
