Absolutely! Wish more people thought like this.

I'd just like to point out that they showed that scene of Fujin and Raiden from Story Mode in the preview video for The Game Awards.

A taste of things to come?

Pre KP2 announcement KungLaodoesntsuck

"Oh man! That's gotta mean something!"

Present day KungLaodoesntsuck

"Don't fall for it... False hope is worse than disappointment."

Fujin is the one story mode character I won't mind. Should've been in there to begin with.

LOL Sounds about right.

Anyone know how/where to watch the awards show when it happens? Is anybody streaming it or anything?

I feel like this much time has to come with something more than just 4 characters. There has to be story DLC of some sort.

MK Fire and Ice as a companion dlc to mkx jumped into my head and I thought it was an amazing idea. Something tells me the next MK game might venture back to action/adventure. Imagine taking back the Lin Kuei as Subzero or hunting down Quan Chi as Scorpion?

I just feel as if we are getting something more. I can't shake the feeling. Like we will look at this and say "oh okay. that makes sense." after the dlc has come to pass.

I noticed Fujin in the beginning of the trailer too. I'll take it as a hint for his reveal.

Thats honestly where I'm at. I can't get hyped because the moment I do NRS will sweep my fucking legs out from under me.

Its streaming on pretty much every service out there. Full list can be found here...

Haha people are treating NRS like the deadbeat relative who always makes empty promises. Get excited people! It's actually happening this time. MORE PLAYABLE CHARACTERS! Meaning more fatalities, more brutalities, more x-rays, more characters interactions at the beginning of fights.

Regardless of which characters they are, how is this not hyping up a forum full of MK fans?

I'd say I'm more.... cautiously optimistic when it comes to NRS and how they handle releases of things now. They have every possibility of either making this pack completely amazing or completely disappointing.

From what I've read on various forums, I think it's safe to say the majority would agree that if we end up with the likes of both Fujin and Bo Rai Cho, the fan community would call that a success. However, if they release the likes of Baraka, Sindel and Rain (despite how much even I like Rain) I would count that as a disappointment if it's those predictable 3 characters. I think for many it comes down to the element of surprise.

Well, what if you get both Fujin, Bo' Rai Cho ("excitement") AND Baraka, Sindel ("disappointment")? Does that even it out? I know Baraka and Sindel were playable in MK9 but not with 3 variations, brutalities and unique character intros.

I guess I'm just expecting the fan base to act more like fans of the games/franchise rather than spoilt brats stomping their feet because their fave didn't get in.

Y'know if I could choose my own four I'd have Noob Saibot, Sektor, Havik and Drahmin. Characters I probably won't get to play for a long time (or ever again, in Drahmin's case) but I'm still happy that NRS even bothered to do a KP2, it means they're learning to support games for more than 6 months after release, which means a better future for MK games.

Personally? I'd say it would even it out but no telling what others would think. I think most would be happy as long as it's not all 3 of them together in the same pack. Maybe 1 or 2 at most. Everyone seems to be in agreement that there are just other characters who deserve the spot as a priority because of either popularity (Cyrax), previous exclusions (Fujin, Reiko, ect.) or cliffhanger storylines from previous games (Smoke, Noob, Shang, ect.).

My issue if they go with the "story pack" characters of Baraka, rain and sindel is that it will feel cheap and weak considering we have waited so long for extra characters to be given characters that are already in the game and characters that no body really likes. You look at the popularity stats for those chrcaters they are all very low ranking especially when compared to other missing characters like smoke, noob, jade, fujin, Sektor, Cyrax, kabal and Shang to name a few.

I would love to see smoke make an appearance even though it is highly unlikely. It really pissed me off so much that he missed this game considering he has always been a background character, with borrowed moves or a mindless drone programmed by the Lin kuie or noob with no real back story or direction until the last game finally took him and fleshed him right out. Gave him good unique moves, an interesting back story and a great bromance with sub zero. But then he died and got dropped back to being a mindless bit player drone it was absolutely crushing. He was the third most used character in the last game now he is a fucking faction kill!!!!!

Anyway enough moaning about my boy smoke hopefully NRS realise their mistake and include him in the next game in favour of ermac or reptile seeing as how we are limited to the number of ninjas we can have in a game these days. My top picks for KP2 are; Noob, Bo Rai Cho, Fujin, Sektor, Cyrax, Rain, Baraka and Sindel.

I am hoping for Noob, Sektor, Fujin, Rain but it will probably be; Fujin, Bo Rai Cho, Baraka and Sindel.

I was going to discount rain because of boon saying something about not paying for the same dlc twice but then he also said that the boss would be "a surprise returning character that not a lot of people would see coming......." How that translated to shinnok I am still trying to figure out o guess he was a returning character so it was part right!

I hope for a four legged Motaro, Havik, Blood God Reiko, and Vorpax or Kreeya but these are two that nobody likes and only appear in the old series so not gonna happen.

The only way I would play this game again is if they added Sareena and Fujin. I know thats a long shot (Sareena mostly), but god damn man. Lets hope NRS delivers to some degree.

I personally can't wait for the one character I'm interested in. I mean they might surprise me and have more than one but it's not likely.

I wouldn't be all that mad with a Story Mode pack to be honest. Baraka, Rain and Sindel are pretty original and there's nothing like them on the current roster. It would still be a breath of fresh air as far as I'm concerned.

But they won't do it. The backlash of people accusing them of on-disc DLC would be terrible at this point.

The DLC cannot NOT have Fujin. It's his time to kick ass and shine.

I hope we get at least one crazy character. Someone from the 3D era that didn't get much love but his rebuilt to get a new life. I just want Dairou back.

I should preface by saying that I'm grateful MK is getting more support. This is the most support any MK game has ever had post launch. And I'll be happy for the people who get their characters. I remember how I felt when KL was shown and I want others who haven't felt that yet to experience it.

HOWEVER, new characters can't fix the bad netcode. Which is the biggest issue for me. I can practice with a character for weeks, take them online, and get bodied because I forgot that the lag was so bad. It just isn't a fun experience for me anymore.

But, Fujin or Li Mei could at least make me put up with that mess. If they're in I don't have to trade it in yet. If it is the story pack and Fujin or Li Mei don't make it, well I just have no reason to play the game anymore.

I probably sound like a brat but I'm just being honest. Plus with SFV coming in Feb, KP2 really needs to dazzle me to compete for my attention.

I think when NRS stated that the final boss would be someone we didn't expect, they were referring to Corrupted Shinnok.

That's pretty much the only option considering they presented Shinnok while showing freaking Practice Mode during a kast.

They were referring to Corrupted Shinnok and there are a few people still to this day who cannot accept it.

Sindel, Baraka and Rain should be released as complimentary fan service DLC to those who purchased/purchase both Kombat Passes. Those who did not, would have to pay. We deserve it. And I do expect a guest unfortunately. Yes it's overkill, but its going to help them create buzz and breath new life into the game as far as garnering attention.
