MKD should have included every character from MKDA since it basically was the same game anyway. Sure they would have needed a few improvements or modifications and perhaps slight costume tweaks but realstically it wouldnt have been a major project to keep every MKDA character in the MKD game even if they didnt have there own story even if they were selected from an additional MKDA menu as a bonus, I mean there in Konquest althought they have been cut back (eg: lack of moves, lack of powers)
Basically it wouldnt have been a major development to keep all the MKDA character in MKD. It would have just pleased us fans... I would have been happy if all the MKDA characters where in MKD, only thing would have been nice would have been some new costume tweaks, even if it meant just different textures just to spruce them up a little.....and wham you double the playability of MKD.......
