If the game has 24 characters, then they shitted on us.
I've got mixed feelings on the roster size:
If it turns out to be 24, something that looks very likely, I'll be a little bit disappointed b/c there are other great characters still out there that I'd be hyped about, many of the other fighting games offer a larger character selection, and they got my hopes up that they might be talking about character content when they vaguely promised more content than MK9.
However, to say they shit on us is a bit strong. Personally, I'm finding it difficult to narrow down who I want to "main" as there are so many fantastic choices...I don't think I'll ever be very good w/ any one character b/c I'll be wanting to switch so much. That's a good problem to have and I think it's worth the price w/ a 24 character roster.
