Fighter Pack 3 won't contain a Mortal Kombat Character

[Marinjuana]

He's clearly not trolling ffs

 

[Shaka]

Its pathetic that only half of the DLC so far has been DC characters, what a waste. I don't mind Sub-Zero, one guest is fine but damn

MKX dlc were mostly guest chars, be glad they're including dc this time lol

 

[ghostwriteous]

Boon's a liar. Nothing he says should be taken seriously.

 

[B. Shazzy]

awww man

 

[Jhonnykiller45]

Millions? Wouldn't be too sure about that bro.
Anyhow.. Boon literally confirmed that there won't be any MK characters in FP3, and somehow people still have a problem with that? Think he's trolling?? Chill the fuck out and lay off the tinfoil hats.
Black Manta and Raiden's silhouettes ingame and during FP1 trailer weren't trolls, Atom silhouette probably won't be a troll, and this isn't be a troll either. Injustice 2 is probably the game where Boon has trolled the least so far.

 

[Thingy]

People will still find reasons to bitch about the DLC, I bet. If it happens to be 3 DC characters, there will still be tears in the community.

 

[NSR]

RIP JC, you never had a chance to be in Injustice 2 after all

 

[Tweedy]

It's odd to me that both Raiden and Hellboy trailed behind Johnny Cage and Spawn when Boon made polls for MK guests and non-DC guests. Why are we getting the 2nd most voted for instead of the 1st?

Obviously there's a Hellboy movie so that solves the Hellboy vs Spawn issue I guess, but why Stripper Raiden instead of Cage?

I'm hoping it's so we can get a Black Lightning premier skin bc Boon keeps tweeting "Black", but tbh NRS are always whacky when it comes to their polls

Hell back in I1 they had a poll where Static won and Zatanna got 2nd and switched the results so Zatanna won like we wouldn't notice lmfao.

If you want Spawn in IJ2, you're a moron.

 

[SneakyTortoise]

If you want Spawn in IJ2, you're a moron.

Well, your logic is irrefutable

 

[Rizz091]

Wow that's disappointing because I walked Johnny Cage in. Why the hell Raiden instead of Johnny

But I guess it's good if you're a big DC fan.

 

[Aramonde]

I don't believe anything Ed says anymore. He's the troll that cried wolf to many times.

 

[Jynks]

if Constantine was Rorschach (technically DC, I know, but not from the main DC universe).

Watchmen was folded into the main DC Universe just recently with Rebirth. As in the current major DCu shake up is all about Dr Manhattan.

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.

I know right? Spawn is such a terrible character. I seriously doubt it will EVER be in IJ or MK and that is a great thing.

 

[EMPRESS_SunFire]

It better fucking doesn't

Nope. I doubt anyone would be salty about any DC character over a non-DC one in a DC based game and be serious about it. Unless they're a moron.

Since this, I don't take Boon's tweets seriously ever again.

Saying "Some people think" is a pretty big difference from a flat-out "Nope".

Who are the 'some people'? Are they right, or wrong? Who knows.

One leaves plenty of room for trolling/hypotheticals -- the other doesn't. So I don't really view these as comparable answers.

MKX dlc were mostly guest chars, be glad they're including dc this time lol

90% of the worthwhile MK characters made it in X, only Shang and Noob were missing. I'd rather have Predator or Jason than shit jobbers like Havik, green Kitana, girl Sub, or purple Scorpion. The DC universe has the dankest characters ever to pull from.

I think you're kinda downplaying Rain but besides that you're right tbh.

Mainly because polls are just to gauge interest; but they can never completely trump the decision making process of a publisher/developer, or tell the full story of negotiations/consideration behind the scenes.

They are one factor to take into consideration, but not the final word.

I agree. I think that MKx had a fantastic roster. Though some of my favs didn't make the cut. The big difference though for the injustice series is that DC has an extremely deep list of hugely popular characters to choose from. I mean it is literally 100s of times larger than MK.

The problem with guest chars in Injustice is that there are simply so many great DC heroes and villains they could add. They could even satisfy the "guest" ideas as DC is huge (especially if you count its imprints like Vertigo). Like one of the Endless might look odd in Injustice, but is way more a legit injustice guest imo than MK.

Truth is imo, I think one MK guest is kinda cool. I wanted it to be Cage or Cassie. I think Cassie or Cage would both fit in well in DC. 2 characters is just lame AF imo, and 3 would be revolting.

Agreed with girl-Sub, as for the rest

 

[Roy Arkon]

I won't be surprised with either scenario, Boon usually trolls but almost all of his trolling tweets lead to something, so even when he trolls it can lead to something legit. So this might be legit.

Also regarding what could be the in KP3, I think there will be a 4th guest character. And I think it's time to finally share my wish:

I want Shredder in IJ2. Yes, I said that. I want Shredder, or any other TMNT char in IJ2. A Batman/TMNT crossover was a thing (I read it, it was good read), so they can put a TMNT char in IJ2. Spawn should be in MK11 due to his dark aura, but the TMNT, while can be dark, fit the DC universe more then Spawn. Also just imagine all of the cool possibilities for Shredder with the Gear system, how many cool armor pieces he can get. If Shredder does make the cut, I will main both him and Sub-Zero (and Starfire of course).

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.

MKX had 5 MK chars (Triborg, Goro, Bo, Tremor and Tanya) and only guest chars (LF, Jason, Predator and Alien). So it is 5 to 4. That's not "mostly guest characters" at all. And even if there is a 4th guest char for IJ2, that will still be 6 to 4, as Darkseid is also included.

Except the fact that not everyone DC char can join the DLC roster just because they are from DC. I've said this before and I will say it again. Both Raiden and Hellboy are two iconic chars from their respective franchises and some DC chars will be way more random then them. Also considering how the IJ2 story mode ended, I bet that NRS/WB will save the more popular DC chars that could've been DLC for IJ2 for the core roster of Injustice 3 when that game comes out.

Lol these cars aren't jobbers at all, and MK is dark just as the DC Universe. Hell it's a lot gorier then DC, there you go.

 

[Zero-Shift]

This is nice news if true. Even if there's still a guest character at least it won't be yet another slot wasted on character already playable in another fighting game. I'm still hoping for all DC characters (come on Mera, Booster Gold, Atom). I'm not buying the guests myself and I hope that maybe after four games, more people are wise next time around and don't go all in with the season passes.

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.

Seconded. I have a hypothesis that 90% of people who like Spawn enough to want him to make cameos in stuff either don't read comics at all or only ever read Spawn.

 

[navaroNe]

Hm, kind of strange that they chose to put Raiden over Johnny Cage in the game then considering Raiden was behind Johnny in the poll that Ed had but kind of glad they went with Raiden instead cause Johnny Cage fighting someone like Superman would be kinda lul. Just hoping they don't ignore the landslide victory that Spawn had in the poll with Hellboy.

He looks bad ass. Enough said. I don't have to read the comics to know that I want to play that mfer.
