Fighter Pack 3 won't contain a Mortal Kombat Character

I know Ed Boon's twitter account is usually the source for trollish clues, but every now and again he will decide to cut straight to the chase. Today is one of those rare days. He has confirmed that there will NOT be a Mortal Kombat Character included in Fighter Pack 3 (much to the delight of millions, I'm sure).



Personally, I am relieved at this piece of news as I had been dreading the disappointing inclusion of Johnny in FP3.
What do the rest of you think?

He might be trolling at this one, as well. I would hold a small casket on this answer of his. I won't be relieved unless he brings out one more of a NON-DC char to make it even for the horror the DLC chars brought in MKX.

That's him saying that injustice 2 didn't "kill" Kombat pack 3, as they were never doing it, no?
That's the justification some people gave after a long time, which I don't think it's true.

The context in which that tweet was written was in the middle of weeks of teasing and teasing of KP3 by Ed. So the obvious interpretation was "kp3 is still coming even if injustice 2 is close".

Also, apparently the guys that leaked injustice 2 roster also said kp3 was indeed in preparation and was canceled. So yeah, Injustice 2 actually killed kp3.

Fair enough, I hadn't actually had a look at the date of that.

But, there is still ambiguity in that tweet. This one, is straight-up "nope". There's no way an MK char will be in fp3

You can always find an ambiguity:

His "No" could be his answer to "tell us what you think on the forums"

Never trust that troll;)

This leaves more of a chance for Spawn imo.

If not tho it'd be cool to have a pack that actually includes all DC characters. Enchantress, Atom and Constantine?
Either of those options would be cool. But I also wouldn't rule out a DC char, Spawn and a Watchmen char (although, I guess they are DC now)

"I still got it...but not much of it"
Seeing that they added two MK characters already it wouldn't surprise me that he's trolling.
Also they better put fucking Spawn in.
 
If they choosed one of the following as MK DLC, no one would had any complain about it: Motaro, Mokap, Jade, Sindel, Rain, Kabal,Shang Tsung, Darkhan, Shaokan, Kintaro...etc. But They got into the lazy route, and we got pimp daddy Raiden instead. ROFLMAO.

And when you feel that nothing can go wrong with FP3, they add pre-patch alien with a cross-up jump, an air dash, a safe unreactable tele and all of deadshot's projectiles.
Lol

I don't like guest characters at all personally, but if it's three DC chars in FP 3 then the ratio for the game will be 6 DC 3 guests, which is way better than the MKX ratio of 4 MK and 4 guests.

I'm expecting and hoping for Enchantress, Atom, Constantine, but I wouldn't be surprised -- though I'll be disappointed -- if Constantine was Rorschach (technically DC, I know, but not from the main DC universe).

I'm continually amazed at people pulling for Spawn in 2017. That char has not been particularly popular since the 90s. The Spawn movie came out literally 20 years ago.

For me, Spawn was in the first fighting game that I fell in love with (Soul Calibur 2) and that was my first introduction to the character. From there, I looked up the character's lore and saw that he was pretty cool.

So, for me, it's a bit of a sentimental thing and I actually see him as a fighting game character with a background if that makes sense.

To me, it doesn't really matter how long ago a character was relevant, as long as it's a good character.
