Uhm.Not over complicating, should learn to understand why he "may" not be in.
Such crucial decisions are over. They're in a state where they're only tweaking the game and preparing for the launch.It's not likely that he's not in the game, it's March, they have to make a decision on what will make ship and what will be DLC.
No shit, Sherlock?They don't have an infinite amount of time to develop
Once again; no shit?some ideas, features get scrapped, some characters get cut, so as long as the core gameplay experience is there, they have to decide on what makes it to ship.
Most likely they didn't finish those two characters in time.
You are overcomplicating it. Ed Boon stated something like that twice, or maybe even more often (I don't know, I don't follow him).
Chances are high that MM is not in the game, period. No point there in having you ASSUMING what "might" be the case and what not.
PS: I'll eat a broom stick if Professor Zoom is in the game.
