My biggest problem with the mk series as of late has been the inclusion of too many new characters. MKDA's roster was almost, if not, half new people. MKD almost followed this exactly. The new characters since MKDA just seems out of place. The character designs dont mesh well with past characters. Dairou looks goofy. Dairius (however you spell these names) seems nearly pointless. Kobra and Keira didnt really do anything special for the game.

Too many characters have too many of the same (or similar) moves and they are pushing out old-time favorites. We "know" MKA was supossed to trim down the roster but most of the character endings didnt really accomplish this and kinda called into question if the game is even cannon. So, yes. Do away with characters long past their expiration date but if new characters are added please only let it be two or three and for the love of all thats good in the world make them new in every sense of the word.
