Where did you get the idea that Cassie was supposed to replace Sonya and Johnny? No one ever said that. They're just talking about a new generation being introduced, NOT replacing the old favourites. Boon and co. have enough experience with abandoning old favourites to not go down that route again.
As for Cassie, she DOES have new moves. What are you referring to? She has superficial similarities with her parents, very deliberately, because they want to show how our two favourites have influenced our daughter. That doesn't copy Sonya or Johnny, it doesn't make them redundant.... because from what I can see, Cassie doesn't play AT ALL, in the slightest, play like her parents.
Watch her gameplay videos.... when did Sonya play like that? If we're all interested purely in gameplay, there's nothing in there that looks like Sonya. Not her military stance, not her awesome arc kick (or classic bicycles).... The closest thing Cassie has to her mum is her cartwheel kick, but that looks different, plays different and is a fundamentally new move.
The exact thing applies to Johnny as well. There's just nothing there that's the same.
What's more, having all three (or two, if that's the case) allows for interesting story-telling. Families are relatable, can raise the stakes, can give us emotional or thematic impact as this story spans the 25 years. Particularly since Sonya and Johnny were the last mortals standing, it's critical they appear.
People can have their opinions on Sonya and Johnny, and wish their spots were filled by others...sure. Go for it. But let's be honest: they're not taking up anything. If they are, then so is Sub Zero, and Raiden, and Kung Lao, and Kitana, and Ermac.
If you want more 3D characters, go ahead, but apply your rage evenly. Justifications like 'but Cassie's in it' fall flat if you think about it for more than the two seconds it goes to internet rage.
And, if it still annoys you, I have to agree with earlier posters: have a cry, post your opinion, and then get the hell over it.
I don't like Quan Chi in the slightest. Not as a character, not as a playable character, not in design or story or presentation. But I'm not raging because he was announced before any of my favourites, or because he might stop some of my 3D faves from appearing. If you don't like Sonya, great! Much like the wankers who whine about tv violence or rudeneess, you have a really good option: just turn it off. Don't play as her.
I don't understand this internet forum inanity to rage about content that's just not your forte. It's not like when you have a legitimate gripe like "the design is shoddy" or "the gameplays broken" or "the story is messy"... It's pure petulance.
"I don't like Sonya, so anything tod ow ith her is inherently bad and everyone else has to listen to it".
Apply the exact same to any other character. Sub, Kitana, Ermac, whatever, whoever, however.
This thread has compelled me to actually sign in for the first time in years - not even the reveal of Sonya itself made me do that, but the silliness that's ensued. Rant over.

She's an original I guess. I thought the purpose of Cassie was to give sonya and Johnny a break. Yeah she could play differently but why create Cassie at all if that's the case? Why not give the new character new moves lol? it doesn't add up.

Sameziez. I don't see why anyone wants her as anything other than an alt skin. I mean fandom ya, I understand but from a gamplay perspective why bother?

Haha Somebody got banned over Sonya? Thug life!
Seriously though, not confirmed. I wouldn't be mad if she was in because I like Sonya but I doubt she's rosterized unless it's a skin.

hahahaha wtf... it doesn't annoy me, where do i sound annoyed? i admitted that i like sonya. if anyone is annoyed it's you logging on just to post a long butthurt rant, just sayin.... most of what you say is bullshit and none of it applies to me or what i posted. your anger is misplaced and it sucked feeling obligated to read that response but i actually respect other's opinions even your dumb ones.
where did i get the idea that they aren't playable? the same place i got the idea that jade isn't playable. "oh she's not in because kitana uses superficial similarities?" yeah probably not.. cassie does have the arch kick but it's turned into a shadow arch kick and she also has the regular shadow kick. she has the nut punch and cartwheel. hollywood and military variations. i guess she uses a gun for a projectile, that's her uniqueness. she's got johnny's attitude and sonya's looks\training.
people can have their opinions, i agree.. why are you being a hater? have a cry and get over it lol
i'm not raging about anyone i think the game looks fantastic dude.. i don't care who's playable i just want to fucking play already and stop speculating about it lol.

Calm down.
I quoted your posts for the references to Sonya being an alt skin. The entirety of post was not directed at you. It was directed at the 'wah Sonya is in it' brigade.
Apologies for not being clear. Not great at quoting multiple posts from a phone.
