No they havent. Ed Boon has stated that Rain will MOST LIKELY be DLC. Not DLC at Launch, not in the first DLC Pack... DLC eventually. Just be patient. If this time next year 3-4 DLC packs have been released and rain wasnt in any of them, then you have the right to be pissed

I can't wait to see what Rain looks like, maybe a mix of UMK3 and MKA.

So begins us getting raped.
I fucking hate repeat HATE this corporate money grabbing world I live in.
Dont get me wrong im happy that we will be getting new characters regularly but these characters are already finished and are being left out to suck us dry.
5 quid each is my guess.

I'm pissed as hell. I'm so pissed that I want to kill something. First Rain is not in the game...ok. Now he is not among the first DLC? The last MK3 era character is NOT among the first DLC? You know what? It's not even worth getting angry about. I should be angry at myself, not NRS. I knew they were going to shit all over me. I fucking knew it and yet I was still foolish enough to have a bit of faith that they wouldn't.

Because he has a bio and ending and I believe there was references in the data to challenge tower challenges involving him. So yes, he's absolutely in the game already and you're paying to unlock something you basically already have much like Jill and Shuma in MvC3.

Took a look over at Twitter. Shaun Himmerick seems to deny the validity of this announcement, or at least partially:



Which is a direct reply to:

Thank you.
I'm glad someone else knows what I'm feeling right now.

Nobody's ever happy...

It's a damn shame.

Who wants to bet 10 quid that these three will go up for download on day one of release.

Rain was FIRST on the list of vote-for-DLC.
He was the ONLY character mentioned by Boon as a possibility.
Sorry, but the man is a troll... as always.

Also, Id like to point out that the article says: "(...) And we're revealing three of them... "

Which could mean there are more.

all i can say is there are a bunch of pussy whinning babies on these boards.

^^^^^

And you know what piss me off even more? So called fellow fans who are sitting back actually comfortable with this piece of news. The same so called fans who are responsible for this. Believe me bro, I feel your pain more than you can imagine. We've been slapped in the face and NO ONE cares. NO ONE. Not NRS, our "fellow fans", NO ONE, all because Rain isn't a Scorpion or Sub-Zero.

ANYONE who is cool with this is going down as morons in my book. And then they have the nerve to say "Oh chill out maaannnnnn, he'll be DLC eventually" SCREW YOU! He should of been in the game over Red Hooker, Kenshi, and fucking Quan Chi! Quan Chi has no place in this game. Freaking over-hyped lameass character. Yes, I said it, jump all over me haters, but I'm speaking TRUTH!

Dude, I'm so angry I'm fucking SHAKING! I think I better come back later.

^^^^ so much win in this article<3

Too bad the name Skarlett was used in MKO's tweet, since the reveal page just calls her "Lady in Red".
Just so it's not technically a no.

Calm down a bit,not worth a heart attack.rain is still my number 1 dlc request,but im so positive he will be in im okay,and i don't think i'm a moron for it. I'm thinking all the listed characters in the poll will get in. I would'nt be suprised if the next batch was cyber smoke,rain and tanya. In the long run if he doesnt make it i will be upset,but for now i think he will show up. You have all rights to be upset,im bummed as well,but its not worth that much stress.

My face is red and your post seriously brought tears to my eyes.
Certain people also need to STFU considering how much they bellyached over some of the leaked story info.
I should go away too.
It's fucking Xanax time

Come on bro Im upset too but you should really chill out..

I couldnt care less about rain, games already oversaturated with ninjas.
He will be dlc at some point wasnt he in a few background pictures?

I hate April Fools' Day. (no matter how this turns out)

There might be a lot of whining people on this site, but I don't see you contribute that much to this site other than posting that retarded Star Trek gif or some other stupid gifs left and right. Let the people whine, it's better than reading your trollish, rude remarks. You don't like what you see, then GTFO.

Anyways, with these three characters, I'm only interested in Kintaro. That character deserves a lot more chances in this series than any of the other listed characters. I don't know, he just seemed as a better sub-boss than Goro for me only because of the extreme difficulty that he had and the fact that he's part tiger which I love since I love tigers more than any other animal in the world...

I still am not convinced that this red female is a character unless there is strong proof, nothing from the leaks, nothing from Lupinko, that clearly shows me that she's a character.

And Kenshi, meh, I like Kenshi, but I think Hotaru or Ashrah deserves a better shot.

Rain was on UMK3 on the super nintendo annnnnnnd what the fuck else dude? Rain not being in this game does not matter. Rain not being in the first set of DLC (if this is even true) does not matter. I imagine we will be able to play him eventually so quit crying.

Slap in the face? Really? IN what way? when did they promise us Rain? WHy do you feel so entitled to get every little thing YOU want? I bet for every person that wants rain there are 4 others that would rather have Quan.

Its crying like this that makes me wish with every bit of my heart for Cyber-Rain...this shit is so annoying.

Its like everyone has ignored the fact that a NRS team member tweeted this site saying "What? wrong." in response to this news.

It's the May issue of GamePro right? So then why would it be an April Fool's Joke (yes, I'm aware it's released in April but they'd put the joke in the April issue, not the May one since video game magazines are a month "early")?

And if the scans are fake, someone did a really damn good job at coming up with convincing CG renders.

So I'm inclined to believe that Himmerick's full of shit and that obviously the info wasn't supposed to go out yet.

dude if its really bothering you that much you might want to put the video games down and get a life
