I would say that their involvement in the plot was very minimal
Fair, bad examples.
Is there any evidence to suggest that Fujin won't be a main cast member in a future MK game?

I mean, it doesn't really matter how significant or small their roles are, the point is they had story roles while simultaneously being DLC characters.
That footage is sped up BTW. Just like the other gif posted in that style of the hammer brutality.

This was my familiarity with the DC Universe...
No, he is not. He will be added through patch, I'm going to see him online and in towers. I don't want him in the game AT ALL. Optional, you say? Optional is when I have an option of never seeing him in the MK game ever.
Yeah, I made the thread because i'm surprised that Leatherface is as cool as he is. Not because I think that he's cooler than any other MK characters.
Guest characters don't fit simply because they are not part of canon Mortal Kombat universe. Simple as that.Before I begin, I have to point out that this is coming from someone who has been a loyal, diehard MK fan since I (accidentally - I didn't even know fatalities were a thing!) ripped Sonya blade's head off way back in the spring of 1993.
Anyway, here goes:
Some of you MK fanboys are fucking dorks. Listen, the MK universe is fictional. It's contrived. It's always subject to arbitrary change and it's always at the mercy of its whimsical creators. Therefore, this perpetual argument that (character x) doesn't "fit" MK is inherently illogical and patently moronic. Based on the reasoning some of you have endorsed, you just as easily could have argued that Stryker, Sektor, and Cyrax didn't belong in MK before MK3 dropped.
What you guys really should be writing is that (character x) doesn't fit YOUR idea of what the MK universe SHOULD be, not what the MK universe actually is (I.e. What its creators have decided it to be)
Lastly, lighten the fuck up! It's not real. It's a fictional universe created for a video game. Do yourselves a favor: Sit back and enjoy the innovations of one of the most creative video game developers on the planet. And if you really don't like a few characters, do what I do: Take them into training mode and beat the ever-living shit out of them. (That goofy sounding fuck, reptile, will be getting his daily beating shortly
Baraka, Sindel, Rain, Fujin, Sareena, Li Mei and Frost played a part in the main story, bigger or smaller, I think you can understand fans of those characters wanting their favs instead of guests. Personally I wanted Shang Tsung, but I wouldn't have had any issue with having one of those characters instead (even Baraka, witch I really dislike), Leatherface IS a wasted slot.
lmao that's one of the things that confuses me the most.
There is no slot wasting with this DLC. With the main roster slots every single one of those characters is there because they play a role in the story, those slots actually really matter to the entire series, with DLC they have absolutely zero fucking effect on the canon of the games. If any of these characters were in the main roster instead of any of the returning characters there'd be a sound complaint because you wouldn't get to find out what those characters were up to and they wouldn't have any part in this era of MK history. Shang Tsung being in the initial release means something because it means he'll do something big in the story. Him being DLC means he'll get updated visually and have some new attacks. He'd be all gameplay and a little flair. That's good enough for me, but seeing the reaction to LF, it's not good enough for these diehards, but I'm sure if this was how things turned out they'd be singing a different tune.
I wanted Sheeva in MKX, not really because I wanted to play her, but more so because I wanted to see more of her story. Sure playing her would be fun but there are 25+ fucking characters I can play for fun, so her getting in as DLC instead of the main roster doesn't really mean anything.
Of course so many people think with their hearts instead of logically first.
Why do you want Rain/Fujin/Whoeverthehell? Because you like the character right? Well you don't get any updates to the character with DLC, you just get gameplay. Do you want them back for the gameplay you liked on previous games? Well that's pointless too because NRS changes how their characters play every damn game.
Witch would be fine if we had no more than 1 guest per KP and every character that played a role in the story would be in the cast instead of being NPC.
Again, "canon mortal kombat universe" is subject to sudden, constant, and arbitrary change.
The universe/lore of this game isn't supposed to be taken so seriously. The franchise was built on gore and being goofy.
The story became important eventually. Otherwise there wouldn't be Mythologiez Sub-Zero and Mortal Kombat Shaolin Monks, Story Modes, movies, serials, comics books, etc. Mortal Kombat is a separate universe of its own with its own characters and the roster became huge for these past +20 years and any character of this entire canon roster is much more fascinating to see revisited with new technology than any guest character in the world.
