Until he's no longer exclusive to pre-orders and available either as DLC, an unlock, or a free download, I don't see how we can justify this character being used in tournaments.
Are you joking? The only character bans are platform bans because you literally have no access to him. In this case, you know how to get Goro, you have full access to Goro, and you not having Goro doesn't change the fact that you can play against anyone else who does have him.

A rushdown "Doomsday-like" Goro? I'm not the type to make early statements, but damn, that doesn't sound fair lol.

Picture Goro with some on all sixes leaping towards you move closing the distance and then grappling you to death. I would normally complain, but it is Goro here.

How is it bullshit? It's not like it requires you to pay anything extra. Like @Karried already said, just put down the $5 for the pre-order. You're going to be paying full price for it anyhow.
What if you want to take the game to a tournament or a friends house? They don't get to play as Goro unless you drag your system along.

Lame.

You just look for shit to bitch about. Are you this fucking cranky in real life?

Goro looks fucking awesme. Need trailer ASAP
I would like thank god all mighty for giving everybody so much, and me so little. I hate you, I hate you, I don't even know you and I hate your guts. I hope all the bad things in life happen to you and nobody else but you.

So, Goro is not a new character but has never been truly "playable" before. Does this mean he's a "new" or "returning" character?
He was playable in Trilogy, Unchained and Armageddon, honestly it's a formality to say this is his first time playable because he wasn't in the original version of the title until Armageddon who had everyone.

My biggest fear with Shao and Goro being playable in MK9 was I was afraid in what NRS could do with big bodies, but obviously in Injustice bigbodies weren't quite so dominant. I'm hype.

This is a Chappelle's show reference, but careful with wording like that, it could be misconstrued as a personal attack.
 
Holy crap I am stoked. We should start seeing more character releases soon. Hoping they do like 2 per month instead of waiting until like 2 weeks before release and dumping them all on us. IMO, knowing who is playable may entice more casual pre-orders. Suppose it could go the other way too,. lol..

I don't think they consider "illegal" activities when making these decision. You can buy it, get the code on your receipt, return the game...
So what you are saying is for me to STEAL the Goro code when somehow actually legitimately buying the game and not stealing it is bad? wtf lol

Buying a game before release date is not illegal. Street dates are a contractual agreement between the publisher and the retailer and has absolutely nothing to do with the consumer. Consumers buying a game on a store shelf whether they are aware of the street date or not are not doing anything illegal, they are buying the game not stealing it.

The fines that retailers are said to get if said game is sold early are a scare tactic and legal reason to fire an employee who does it.

With Injustice it was one or two a month until they started the battle arena, then we just got a tonne of reveals in the space of a few weeks.

What's wrong with him being a Pre Order character?

Aren't you all Pre Ordering anyway? You literally aren't paying any more for him, you just spend 5 dollars early to guarantee a copy for yourself. Your reward for doing so is Goro. That's how Pre Orders work.

I'll wait a little bit longer to pre-order. Don't get me wrong, I'm freaking stoked to see this and I do want to play as Goro. But I don't want to rush, mainly because I haven't had a lot of good things come out of Gamestop. (Sure, I can buy my game somewhere else, but there's not a lot of other game stores around me to do so, I have to unfortunately rely on Gamestop.)

But I am really thrilled to see more of Goro in the future.
