Im on twitter all the time and I pay attention to what Boon post everyday. It seems like he is giving definite hints of who will not be DLC and two characters (besides Kenshi and Skarlet) that will be in.
Here are the tweets (most recent ones as of May 10th)...for those who dont have a twitter and havnt seen these. If this has been posted already then mods close this please
LI MEI:
"RT @LiMei2010 @noobde Li Mei Li Mei Li Mei Li Mei Li Mei Li Mei! Noobde: NoWay NoWay NoWay NoWay NoWay! "
TANYA:
"RT @seanay @noobde can u give Tanya a good fatality in this game please Noobde: Did you find Tanya ALREADY? Damn u r good !!!"
MAVADO, LI MEI (again), and KIRA:
"RT @GanonMT91 @noobde Ed Boon, is there any chance of Mavado, Li Mei, and/or Kira being DLC in MK? Noobde: Pretty slim chance. Sorry."
HAVIK:
"RT @TuleRune @noobde Is there any chance of Havik being MK9 DLC? The Human Pencil Sharpener fatality is legendary. Noobde: Not a good chance"
MOKAP:
"RT @Gambeh @noobde are u planing to release mokap as a DLC ? Noobde: No. Sorry."
From the looks of this Rain and Tanya are most likely in...99% chance. He didnt deny them being in like he did the others. Also, older tweets confirms this too.
Looks like Havik, Fujin, Mavado, Mokap, Li Mei, and Kira wont make DLC.
I was pretty sure Havik would make it in since he's in Noob's ending and Boon posted a tweet of which DLC characters people would like to see (Havik was one of the ones in his list also Rain and Tanya), but I guess their saving the Chaos/Order thing for MK10. Fujin I knew wouldnt be in even though he was in Kratos ending, but that wont be seen on the 360 version anyway so that wouldnt confirm anything.Rain and tanya, are the best to made it. They are both well liked. Also are from game before mortal kombat deadly alliance.
