You highly underestimate the press bro, they'll suddenly be hardcore fans of anything :DOGE One of the top 3 requested characters is arguable as it's impossible to be able to retrieve that data reliably, "he has a model" isn't really a talking point because there are several characters with models and technically even MK9 characters still have models that could just be tweaked and "Boon's teased him a shit ton" is sooooooooooo moot it's unreal, he teases everything on his Twitter. He's even said on his Twitter that the chance of Rain being in is slim so I could argue that it's even more definite he won't be in but I wouldn't because his Twitter doesn't mean shit unless it's an official announcement.

People need to stop giving generic reasons that apply to every character and give reasons specifically as to why the one character they're talking about would be in -_____-

They're "generic" reasons because they're true. Literally the only argument you have is the fact that Boon said we wouldn't make you pay for DLC twice, but considering all the other shit he's lied about he was probably lying about that too. If they think Rain will bring in the $, he will be DLC. Simple as that really, and considering the demand I'd say it's pretty likely

I think there will be two guest characters again, or at least alien for sure. Do you really think they will miss out on alien vs predator shenanigans? This kind of thing will bring so much media coverage. Predator was the character 90% of casual players bought the kp for. Obviously they need something like that again.
Two guests, two mk9 characters, smoke or noob and sindel seem most likely. No way they will make same dlc twice(Rain), it's just dumb.
Shadows on ed boon twitter mean nothing, it is unlikely that they have anything to show yet.

Something tells me this tweet was referring to guest characters. https://twitter.com/noobde/status/641082298369187840

I feel like people just want Rain so they can look at the character select screen and say "Yesssss, we have Rain!!", and then proceed to play another character. Thats what pretty much happened in MK9.

This!

Characters have been dangled in our noses, so now, oh shit! I want so and so character!

Soon enough they'll forget about them and move on with the exception of few who will still play them, but the majority will move along. We live in an era of short attention spam.

If they couldn't give Reptile a tail and have it properly animate, they are not doing a xenomorph lol

How true they are is irrelevant, if you can apply it to all characters then it doesn't mean anything for one specific one. The arguments I have are that there's no repeat DLC and that there are arguably more requested characters and that he's had his chance, other characters should be given a shot at DLC. They didn't even put Fujin in KP1 so I find it difficult to use the idea that they make decisions based on what will bring in the most $ as a talking point but then again I love Fujin and maybe I'm overestimating how many Fujin fans there are (although from what I've seen and heard I doubt that). Honestly, just because he's lied before doesn't mean he lies every single time, this is what people need to realise. They're just using that as an excuse to find a way for their character to be in. It's like me saying "oh but Fujin was in the comics which means he has to be in the game", it's just stretching. Demand is only accountable if it's Tremor levels, if there's a petition with 10000 signatures for Rain then he'd be more likely to be DLC but as of yet there isn't one which is why I'm almost completely positive he won't be DLC outside of a story pack.

And don't think for one second I won't come in here and blow you all up for being wrong once he's not in :REO:REO:REO:REO:REO

They specifically said they wanted to give him a tail in MKX but it was fucking up when placed in the game engine.

That tail just might have made him cream of the crop, top tier material. Improved footsies and neutral game along with D'Vorah and Predator level pokes.

Shame.

People mained them, they just didn't bother wasting money trying to win competitions with there trash characters. Not when Kabal had anything to say about it rofl

Very valid point, but I was mainly talking about online, I saw way more jades, sheevas, and strykers than sindel or rain
