Wanted Ermac, Reptile, and Kabal.
Didn't get anyone I really wanted that wasn't obvious.
Neutral towards the usual suspects.
Hate Kano, Baraka, Jax, and the fact that it's a crossover game to begin with.

I wasn't happy with the crossover idea, I wanted the post-Armageddon era (I'm one of those who wanted fucking Armageddon to happen), I'll have to wait and it's grating. All this reminds me of the debate about old characters vs new characters, and it's true, most of the "icons" blow. I hope they die someday.

That may very well be the case. I believe Boon did say once upon a time that after Armageddon, the canon storyline would be that most of the kombatants were killed and only a few would survive into the next generation of MK games.

I'm not sure that would be a great thing though, since about 90% of the new characters introduced in Deadly Alliance and Deception were awful.
