Can I tell you about our specials?
I'd be down with more characters so long it doesn't mean they are going to change the game every week because of a bunch of whingers complaining that someone got popular or someone figured out a character and is using it to its full potential. I want the game to breathe, is it too hard to ask for like a 6 month stay on updates after they figure out their final roster?

There is hope for the FGC life after all...

That's actually pretty interesting, like a WB all stars sort of thing with guests.
Correct.
I really didn't want to see Freddy, Jason or Predator in MK when there is Smoke, Noob and Jade.
I really didn't want to see Ferret/Whore, Jaxette and Takeda when there is Cyrax, Sektor and ... who's more interesting than Takeda... Mokap maybe? Or that old dude that nobody gives a shit about.

I liked the idea of introducing a crop of new characters, and while I enjoy some of the new ones - seeing how interesting they make their guests (even though they have source material to work with) I'm surprised their new characters were so vanilla.

MK games do not have rules in the sense that there's a fastest punish for every character, and their game balance is usually sketchy at best. This makes new characters usually twice as broken as the first five.
