They are very iconic, but if they did give them the boot for a game, I'd respect them so much. In my opinion, the only characters that MUST be present EVERY single game are Scorpion, Sub-Zero, and to a slightly lesser extent, Raiden.I kind of agree with you and kind of not. Boon said that they were going to take some chances with the roster and have more new characters than any of the old titles. This did not really pan out which is a shame.
Lewis Kang and Kitana made a lot of sense to the story at the end of the day and sets them up as integral to the plot of the next game. They are also stupidly popular characters that are iconic to the game. Not having Liu is like not having Ken in street fighter and Kitana / Chun Li. These characters have 24 years of history and have loyalists who will not buy the game without them in it (I would not buy SF if Chun Li or Sakura was not in it!). Unlike most of the rest of the cast, they have no new, related characters to replace them – if they did, they could probably get away with losing them out of the cast.
Where I do agree with you is that I thought risks could have been taken with the parents of the children – I think this was a missed opportunity. With the addition of Cassie, I thought it would be more effective to have either Sonya or Johnny dead and Jax as well (perhaps replaced by his wife or Jaquie’s twin or something). I was surprised to see all of these characters in. With Liu and Jin in the game, Lao is a pretty superfluous too – they could not even justify him being there in his ending and he seemed a little pointless.
Umm... What? Pretty sure he counts.Alien isn't dominating tournaments. There are only two alien players winning and one is sonic fox so you can't count him.
This man right here is correct. This forum has been non-stop bitching about characters from jump. Not for 1 second of this game's life has there ever been a moment where the community just accepted that just like literally every other fighting game ever, tiers are a thing.New balance patch will just make other characters OP and ya'll will cry about them just as much
Only thing that would get me hyped up is a KP3. New balance patch probably won't even make me play again zzzz
I just had flash backs to Batgirl in Injustice. Remember the hordes of people saying this exact thing about her? And then it turned into, "well, its just Sonic Fox." Then everyone realized that she was one of the most broken characters in the history of fighting games.Alien isn't dominating tournaments.

So it's really only dragon that you can really be talking about.
Side note, isn't sonic fox dominating all the tourneys
but the problem with that is that it WAS just sonic fox. like there wasnt even a second batgirl making waves out there. not one other batgirl in any top 8 .... kinda have to acknowledge that it WAS just sonic fox being the best.(along with using the second best character in the game)I just had flash backs to Batgirl in Injustice.

Martian Manhunter imo.Second? Who was the best character?
Disagree heavily here.Just wanted to clarify, a new ESL tournament or pot bonus is N!O!T! big news for mkxl.
Speaking for the majority of people who play the game on this planet, nobody cares about a whatever tournament, we care about the actual freakin game. So big news for the ACTUAL GAME would be patches or chars period.
If I hear big news for mkxl one more time followed by a pot bonus or new tournament I'm gonna turn into a gorilla from rage.
AM, MMH, Zod, BG and Flash were all contenders for best character/top 3.Second? Who was the best character?
Exactly this... they can put whatever potbonus in whatever they want and new esl season would be nice, but this is surely not big news (except for Sonic Fox, so he knows that he gets salary another year by NRS-Tournaments)Just wanted to clarify, a new ESL tournament or pot bonus is N!O!T! big news for mkxl.

I'd be pissed if it was mobile news. Boon stated "BIG" news... I classify that as either KP3 or more ESL or better yet, both.At this point watch the news be MKXL Mobile gets rain/fujin. no offense just saying :"P but i hope for a story pack for console/pc (yeah i sed pc)

MKXL isn't MKX Mobile. NRS doesn't refer to the mobile game as MKXL, as XL is just the console version.I'd be pissed if it was mobile news. Boon stated "BIG" news... I classify that as either KP3 or more ESL or better yet, both.

My guess is that they will continue with ESL until Injustice 2...and that game will take over the ESL reigns. It seems like they have a nice relationship with ESL. no?I'd be pissed if it was mobile news. Boon stated "BIG" news... I classify that as either KP3 or more ESL or better yet, both.
