MK is MK because people are beating the shit out of each other and fighting to the death.

Yeah because Ryu, Ken and Akuma seem HUGELY different in SF...
i dont like the idea of Cassie PLUS Johnny and sonya, but even if they shared a stance, like cassie and Johnny both have Hollywood style, they would play differently because of different normals.
People bitch cause there's dick else to do while the game is in development. They're all still going to follow every release and reveal, they'll still d/l the demo, they'll still try the full game, and they've probably already got it preordered.
Thats not the point... MKs most iconic characters are the ninjas and robots. Making an MK without ninjas would be like making Street Fighter without Shotos. You could say the point of something like Halo is to shoot enemies, but if you aren't a spartan while you're doing it then it won't feel like Halo. I can fight people to the death all I want, but if its not with a ninja or robot then it just won't feel like MK.
That is your opinion. I frankly enjoy the plot and the characters of MK dealing with the special forced battle vs the black dragon criminals. Just like I love the story if the military , MI6, and Interpol fighting the terrorist shadowloo and I couldn't give a fuck about Akuma's beef with Goukin or any sort of dark hadu mumbo jumbo bullshit.
Akuma is the most unique out of those three and plays differently than them. Ken and ryu are very similar, yet very different as well and play differently.
Ryu, Ken, Akuma, Evil Ryu, Oni Akuma....
Yet THEY ALL PLAY DIFFERENTLY. Am I speaking a different language?
Well from recollection I know at least two of them share pretty much the same fireballs and spinning kicks. Point is they've reused moves for the more than one character and that's just lazy, better to have different characters with different movesets and with Cassie having a lot of Sonya and Johnny's signature moves it'll be hard to make Johnya's movesets different and still include different signature moves.
The plot with Sonya and Johnny and Cassie I'm perfectly fine with having in the game, its the fact that Sonya and Johnny might take up playable character slots from for iconic characters all while only having slightly different move sets from Cassie. Imagine if say Reptile and Ermac lose their spots as playable characters because Johnny and Sonya took them when Cassie already has half of their moves. I think that would piss more people off than Reptile and Ermac making it and still having Cassie playable, with Johnny and Sonya in just for story. I mean Cassie already has bith Sonyas and Johnnys signature special moves, which means if Johnny and Sonya would be in they would either have the same moves but slightly different (please no Fox and Falcos clones) or they would change their moves to be different (which goes against the games design of having each character keep iconic moves so whats the point just give us someone different). My gripe with the two is strictly based on the fact that if they are playable that means someone else thats probably more deserving isnt playable.
I know, but it kind of makes the gameplay staler when you could include more unique characters instead. There are so many characters in mk that could replace the overlap of sonya cage and cassie cage. We don't know yet which one is in but it kind of gets repetiive
This. Yes obviously they will make them different from each other, but will they be as different and unique as a completely different character instead? No.
I don't honestly feel cassie and sonya and johnny will be in the game... The obvious displacement of their moves onto casse tells me cassie might take their place in terms of play.
Thats what Im hoping for but the "translation" says otherwise right now, hopefully its a misunderstanding on the German side because I dont want a game full of clones.
All your "iconic" characters were new characters once, they needed love and attention to become the fan favorites they are today. This should ring especially true for someone rocking an Ermac av. Ferra/Torr and D'vorah haven't hit that hard yet, but look at the impact Kotal Khan (a completely new character) has had on the scene. People are WAY more interested in him than Raiden who is a 20 year vet. What do you think the excitement level would be if Boon announced they are dropping him and replacing him with meat or mokap because the fans want classic characters?
I get what you are saying, but you have to introduce new characters to expand the lore. That's why the game is taking place 25 years after MK9, so they can have the legit reason to bring a cast of new characters, like they did with MK4 and forward.
There's a difference. SF3 launched with no iconic characters and a cast of 8 while everybody else was dropping games with 15-20 characters. There were no familiar characters at all, save Necro who kinda reminded people of Dhalsim and Alex who kinda reminded people of Ken, and the mechanics were absolutely wacked. SF3:NG resembled SF about as much as Darkstalkers did and people had no idea why it was being billed as the sucessor to a 10 year classic that had been rereleased 5 times by then. It would be like Midway calling War Gods MK4 (even though thats ironically what it was) if they chucked Raiden and Shao Kahn in it.
