We have a couple other DLC posts on here asking bout one specific character, or to name your #1 choice, however this is gonna work a little bit differently. I want to run a poll to see who the majority want as DLC. Since this forum doesn't have a poll option, I will tally them up myself and update the count in the thread. I am doing this to not only give the MK team an idea of who we want beyond the MK1-MK3 characters, but also to find out exactly who is the most loved by the fans on this board.

Here is the voting rules:

1. You can only vote ONCE for the whole thread. You may discuss in this thread as well, but when you actually cast your vote, make sure you make it clear that you are making your official vote in that post by heading it with VOTE: etc. I will make sure to double check names to get this as legit as possible.

2. You must follow the voting structure I will lay out or else your vote does not count.

Voting structure:

1. You can pick 3 Male characters, and 1 female character, and they have to be from the MK4-MK:A games. You may choose 2 female and 2 male, but you have to have AT LEAST 1 female is what I am getting at, but no more than 2 females please. I picked this because most DLC packs come in either sets of 2 or 4 characters, and I would assume that they will at least include 1 female.

Example:

**VOTE:**
1. Jarek
2. Mokap
3. Taven
4. Kira

That would qualify as your vote and I would tally those up. So follow that and your vote will be counted. Don't just name 1 or 2 characters, and don't name more than 4 total, and don't leave out the female. If you do, I will just ignore it. If you don't care about 4 characters, pick your favorite amongst the ones you don't like, same goes for if you don't care about any females.

With this structure I feel we will get a good range of who is liked and who isn't. The reason I chose not to go with just 1 favorite character is simply because I want to see a total of 4 people getting top spots, not just 1 or 2 people getting a ton of votes and then the rest fighting for 3rd and 4th without many votes.

Let the voting begin!

I will cast the first vote:

**VOTE:
1. Quan Chi
2. Kenshi
3. Hotaru
4. Ashrah

Rain debuted in UMK3. Please recast your vote with someone else.

You're supposed to have one female character in there.

Good catch, totally spaced that one for some reason. I'll take those votes away until you revote.

I'm surprised to see Quan Chi's popularity. Anyway...

Quan Chi
Kenshi
Drahmin
Nitara

I don't necessarily like Nitara, but I think she may have been better had she been in a 2D game.

I feel 4 characters is too little. Not to be a whiner, But despite my 4 picks, If I were to Add Shinnok and Dairou to my list, it would be complete.

I really think that we will get packs of 2 or packs of 4 characters when we are in a post-release period. I will bet you that we have at least 8 more characters after the original roster.

You are entitled to your opinion, but for the sake of this voting setup, I decided 4 would be a decent amount. It's both a good amount to find a decent grasp on what people want, and it's also pretty managable in terms of keeping track and tallying everyone's votes. Having to add 8 votes per poster can get tedious quickly, especially if there's a lot of people that participate. Most polls only give you 1 vote, so I thought 4 was generous. And keep in mind, just because there's 4 votes doesn't mean 5th, 6th, or 7th etc. highest don't matter.

As I said before, based on their MKvsDC planned DLC of packs of 2 people, Quan and Harley, I assume that they will stick with 2 per pack, or possibly a pack of 4. The characters in this game look very detailed, both visually, as well as moves and fatalities wise etc. So I don't see them pumping out 8 characters at least. I would guess we will get 4 characters at least in the span of a few months after launch, with a potential of 4 more much later down the line. Keep in mind, they are also wanting to do possibly fatalities, stages, and outfits as DLC as well, not to mention they have to be working on the next game too, you can't put all your focus on a game that's already out.

So ultimately I think 4 choices is plenty for a poll made to determine who amongst 30 people has the highest demand. And if you feel 8 characters will make it, simply look at who places 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th in the poll.

With the level of detail that appears to be in this game, I wouldn't expect more than 4 DLC characters honestly. I imagine a lot goes into making a character this time, much more than you could say went into MKvsDCU or any of the previous MK games.

It's tough to pick just 4, granted, but I can't realistically imagine us getting more than that (keep in mind, other DLC will be made as well such as stages, costumes, fatalities, etc. so the team will be working on more than just one thing).

And don't think I don't sympethize with you guys when it comes to only being able to pick 4. Of course I would love to just list all the characters I would like to see return, or even add on 1 or 2 more to my choices, but for the purpose of this poll, I felt 4 is most likely what we would be getting in terms of DLC, and 1 of those would likely be a female. That's the hard part of every poll, is having to pick your most wanted or favorite of a larger number of options, but it's for good reason.

I think this will give a good estimate of who people want to see, and I fully plan on at least sending a twitter message to Boon with the results on this thread. Not that it's a guarentee he will look or even care about the top 4 selected, but I figure it's worth a shot. Now is likely the best time for a poll like this to start, as usually they start DLC planning closer to the launch of the game after they know who and what won't be in the released version.

I dunno if it's fair to run a poll until the game is nearer to release or out already and we know for sure that every single Trilogy character made it in anyway, quite frankly.

Everybody's list is going to change if, for instance, the older Sub-Zero never dies in story mode and so the roster has no Noob Saibot.

Yeah, it's hard deciding who you want for DLC when that character could be in the game proper.

But due to the heavy emphasis on MK1-3, I feel the need to plug in the fantastic Mythologies/MK4/MK:DA characters.

Give me Fujin, Sareena, Quan Chi, Kenshi, and Li Mei and I'll be a happy camper.
