Hmmmmm, interesting. That conflicts with the slip, unless the slip was in reference to DLC which could be entirely possible. They could also be speaking based on no knowledge what-so-ever and pure speculation on their part since they play similarly so we'll see.

I'm not surprised, it has been hinted before, there was always the chance he wouldn't be playable on disc, but maybe DLC depending on popularity.

Where did this commercial air? Not that I don't believe you im just curious.

Strange. I guess Takeda could be possibly replacing Kenshi and Kung Jin replacing Liu Kang. Who Knows, its interesting though if its true.

Even if he's not in, I'm hoping he's not killed off again, and acts as an elderly mentor. I'm bored of him being the "Kenny" of the series.

I believe you, but i think Gamespot is lying or assuming something they don't know.

If this is true, he will still be in story-mode and end up DLC. I hope it's not true, because he should be on the main roster.

So if it ends up true, Sonya will definitely be on the main roster then and Johnny is the one that gets killed? Nooooooooooo!!!!!

Overall, video of the commercial or it didn't happen

I can almost guarantee he'll be DLC brought out to promote the upcoming MK web series with him in.

Was the commercial on tv or in the store and is there anywhere we can watch it??

It was in the store.

Did the commercial actually say Cage was sitting this one out, or just that Cassie plays/acts like Johnny Cage. Seems odd gamestop would know the full roster, though I've had doubts about Johnny for a while now.

I agree with Kenshi, Did he say that Johnny was not going to be in. or did he just say that her fighting style is like Johnny and Sonya because that was already said by Ed boon a long long long long long long long long long long leng loeng time ago.

As long as he's playable in a whole, don't matter to me. Cassie has hand guns and if Sonya is in, she may have a semi-automatic or a machine gun? She has one in the comic.

Meh I am waiting for the Komplete Edition so I have to wait a long time to get Johnny if he is in the game as DLC.

I think Johnny & Sonya will be part of that klassic 4pack of characters in the kollectors edition.

Just because Sonya makes it in over Johnny, doesn't mean he'll be killed, and vice versa.

What about if Sonya makes it in does that mean Johnny died or Versa vice?

They would be revived the next game, or brought back for Armageddon 2.0, or the next crossover

where is the evidence that this commercial even exists?

Yup, watch the DLC pack be 2 'horror' icons and Johnny/Sonya.

MEH.

LOL One of them should at least be in the main roster. That's just a no-no if one of them isn't. If the 2 guest characters thing is true then I expect 2 Trilogy (probably a robot and a ninja) and 2 post-Trilogy characters for DLC.

Dis, although I hope not.

Far more interesting characters.

I'd rather see Shujinko, Kai, Ashrah, Havik, Tanya, Reiko, Frost, Drahmin, Hotaru, or Daegon tbh.

I honestly can't see a reason for a few of the aforementioned characters not making it in due to the story details that we know, but if they don't - they would be perfect for DLC.

Does anyone remember the date the first dlc character for mk9 was released?

Skarlet was released the middle of June, I believe.
