There's people speculating (what else is the internet for?) that Netherrealm is holding back characters like Noob, Rain, Baraka, Cyrax, Smoke, etc. for more DLC packs.

It's a possibility I suppose. Wasn't there two rounds of DLC characters for Injustice?

Yeah, I think so. I do seem to remember them saying there'd be less DLC for MKX, tho.

Obviously there's a ton of suspension of belief required for all fighting games, and I'm definitely over-thinking this and should probably just shut up, but all the gameplay videos I've seen for this game have that x-ray feature where you can see bones shatter and organs explode. It's gross and violent and pretty cool, but it's totally weird that the camera will zoom in on an ultra-detailed depiction of a character's spine being severed and crushed, and then go back to the fight where that same character gets back up and still has a mostly green health bar. Unless I got it wrong and the injuries get worse the lower the health bar gets, because that would be awesome.

There's a couple of x-rays where warriors get stabbed in their eyes, and unless they're Kenshi, they still have eyes afterward, so yeah, you're thinking it and should shut up.

Saw the Tanya trailer this morning and for such a nothing character she looks pretty damn fun to play as.

Doesn't look that fun on the Twitch livecast, but maybe that's just me.

Got the first trade of the MKX comic in the mail today and for a comic tie-in it's pretty awesome. One minor complaint and it's only because he's my favorite character is Sub-Zero isn't in it much. But he's all over vol. 2 though apparently so I guess it's a good thing I've already got it pre-ordered on Amazon.

Four new characters, some new skins, and "a new environment" early next year. Can't wait.

*sigh* More wasted character slots. The merged cyborgs are the only ones that look worth a damn.

I've never cared for Bo Rai Cho, but I'm pretty jazzed for the rest. If they added a Colonial Marine I think my head would explode from the awesomeness, but I'm glad we'll get to have Alien Vs. Predator battles.
EDIT: Oh snap, they'll probably give one character a colonial marine skin, like they did with the Predator skins. That's close to my dream at least.

Noob, human Smoke, Shang Tsung, any of the original characters would've been great. Even Rain and Frost would've been fine since they appeared in the story. Sorry Raz but I'm not really a fan of the Alien franchise so I couldn't care less about Alien Baraka and I could give fuck all about Leatherface just like I did with Jason. Hell as much as I love the movie I didn't even want Predator because I think guest characters suck. Just taking up space when an actual MK character could've been added to the roster. And I was willing to give Bo Rai Cho a chance if they had dropped the farting and puking bullshit but nope they brought it back with him. WHY??? I thought they were trying to go for realism and seriousness or as much as you can get out of MK with this game but he's still as lame as he was on PS2.
At least the cyborgs are back. I'm interested in finding out how they're fused into one and the interactions he/it will have with Sub-Zero.

And something else that kind of pisses me off is I bought the first Komat Pack and thought it was bullshit that it didn't include all DLC like the one from Arkham Knight but I got over it and bought the Kold War skins separately because I liked the look of them and Kold War Scorpion was already free. NOW it says that both of those are included in Kombat Pack 2. WHAT. THE. FUCK. I feel like I was ripped off a little bit.
