Why is NRS so freaking stupidly secretly with Jax? Like really? What is so special about Jax? Just confirm he's in and go to the awesome characters which aren't in EVERY SINGLE MK game.
This would have been the perfect game to remove Jax from the roster as well, he's being killed in more than 2 MKX endings even in his freaking own ending, he loves playing the farmer, so let him be. Why would you pick Jax over Takeda? I don't really like Takeda, but he would have more story material than Jax...
What did Jax do in MK9 that would be cool to travel back to? Nothing, he was a big guy in distress during Sonya's chapter, he punched Johnny in the face, beat jobbers Reptile and Baraka, and got his arms removed by Ermac, and then did NOTHING with those new arms, he was just killed by Sindel going berserk, absolutely nothing for Kronika to notice him. And still, there he is again... back in action, probably the good SF bores visit him again on his boring farm and try to convince him to enter the battle again for one stupid nonsense chapter in which Jax kicks mayor ass...
next. Like really.
