If they do decide another kombat pack and have another guest in it then they should do Freddy again to go with Jason cuz the intros would be awesome and the other 3 should be mkx characters. Fujin,Sindel and Rain

Personally, I think NRS felt like they had to do it just so people who played online could actually PLAY online. MKX was the laughing stock of the FGC for it's hilariously bad online play. The horrible netcode also contributed to the major drop in players. (Myself included)
As for the future content, I'm always puzzled why people immediately assume that means characters. Content could be anything. Costumes, Stages, Brutalities, Fatalities, More shitty repetitive Towers, etc. Sure it COULD be characters, but it could be a lot of other shit as well.
And if there's one thing I've learned from my time here, it's to ignore what Ed says on twitter. Unless I see a trailer, screenshot, or press release... He's full of shit as far as I'm concerned.

"Content" is definitely a broad term, and no one should expect anything. That said, there's no way NRS revamped the netcode a year after release just so the "FGC kids" wouldn't laugh at them. They could have just sat on it and promoted GGPO on MK11 or Injustice 2. But they didn't.
NRS is a business, and anything a business does is to make money. NRS spent however much money and manhours to redo the netcode and give it away for free. That was a very calculated decision beyond "people make fun of us for our netcode." They are hoping to profit off of giving it away for free, and that indicates further support for the game. Perhaps it's not characters, but it IS to make money, not because it was a bad online experience or because people gave them shit.

I've heard the argument that characters like Fujin and Li Mei and Frost at this point might as well just be saved for MK11 because it's pretty insulting being the last to be considered and released through DLC for a game but let's face it; Fujin, while popular, was only in one main game outside of a title that demanded everyone be present, same with Frost and Li Mei was in two. Does that mean they're bad characters? No, I love them as characters, but it's the truth. Would the majority of us really want the regular faces for a final run of DLC (if it happens) when we could have something fresh and new fully knowing those same regular faces will more than likely appear in MK11 regardless?
Shang Tsung, Noob Saibot, the rest of the revenants.......the likelihood is that they will be on the starting roster next go around so the best option, in my eyes at least, is to give us more of these characters who need to be re-introduced in the new timeline so that NRS can get a real feel of whether they're fully accepted by the majority or not, not just through sales, but through social media and general reactions from casuals as well.
Bo', despite the puke/fart jokes, seems to be doing fairly well and have seen quite a few people using him online the past week (and using him well at that). I think going forward his chances for being in MK11 from the start have vastly increased thanks to KP2 so give us Fujin, give us Frost, give us Li Mei....hell, give us Khameleon at this point. Anything new is welcome.

You mean the generic intros of both of them saying nothing and looking at eachother like all the guests so far?
KenshiMaster, I understand where you're coming from. At this point, actually every since KP2's roster was announced, my hopes for Fujin have fell far. I honestly expected him to be playable from the start before the final roster was revealed. Still doesn't feel right that he got the shaft yet again. At this point I'm much more accepting of the idea we'll probably just have to wait till MK11, assuming they don't skip over him again. At least he got the coolest non-playable cameo. But I still feel that MKX is so great that why not continue to add some more characters (only a few more) and some more arenas while we continue the presumably very long wait till the next MK game.

Spawn. Cape, chainz n gunz! Ash. Maybe T-1000.
According to the discription for the Bad Weather Conditions Tower, Fujin is dead.
Not that that stopped anyone else...
But yeah, Frost, Sareena, Li Mei, Noob Saibot, Fujin, Rain, revenants, still plenty of characters people would like to see added.
No matter what, we'll always want more. But I'm thanful we at least got what we did.
Can't have Trilogy/Armageddon every game.

i think he should. At least in the next game, he'll actually get an alt costume and probably more effort put into him (lets face it, NRS gets incredibly lazy near the end of the game's life cycle, just look at Rain in MK9). Plus I wouldn't want him to be associated with this game full of boring guests that don't say shit.
and there is no way they would milk the franchise like that unless they wanted to kill it like Street Fighter. if MKXL is not the final version, i know some fans would be livid.

It's the vaguest statement ever. Of course when you're a successful franchise you'll be doing ''more''.

Question may no longer be random choice (there are other mechanisms for this) and allow to choose characters with one variation that would be (Rain, Sindel, Baraka and Frost - gives to treat frost as a kind of fourth variation of Sub Zero, only with own voice). Can add as complete characters Fujin, Sareena and Li Mei and have ceased the characters that appeared in Story Mode left vacant for one more guest, if Freddy Krueger.
Clothes can add Klassic Skins for Raiden (MK2), Johnny Cage (ALT MK9), Kenshi (MKDA), Shinnok (MK4), Tanya (MK4), Tremor (MK2), Triborg (MK3), Bo Rai Cho (MKDA) , Fujin (MK4), Sareena (MKMSZ) and Li Mei (MKDA). In addition to extra clothes for Tanya (Story Mode), Bo Rai Cho (new), Reptile (MKDA), Fujin (New), Sareena (New) and Li Mei (Story Mode and Alt MKD). And in the Klassic Towers can add Test your Sight.

They ignored females in the last pack because they don't sell and aren't as popular as the males.
Frost would be most likely since NRS knows the casuals are always stuck in the "OH MAH GERD NINJAS SO KOOL" mindset. Just being a female subzero is her appeal.
Li Mei is generally unknown among casuals just like Tanya. Characters like these should NEVER be DLC. They should on the main starting roster so the new generation of MK fans can get familiar with them, basically being re-introduced to these new fans. If she became DLC, only hardcore fans would DL her while the guest characters will get hounded by the casuals.
Sheeva? don't count on it. They give no fucks about redeeming unpopular characters or to give them a second chance (even though they screwed her over royally last game). I don't see them taking any risks like that.

They had no females in KP2. So Frost And/Or Li Mei is likely.
And of course Sheeva will be in. I hope so.
Lets just prepare ourselves for another disappointing guestlist :/

Are you kidding?! I highly doubt that's the reason. I would gladly take Sareena, Li Mai, Frost over Leather Face and Bo Rai Cho anyday.
But i know why KP2 came out the way it did.. Ed loves to troll his fans

You REALLY think they would make a business decision like that JUST to troll fans? thats ridiculous and makes no sense whatsoever. Use logic please.
I like the idea of a slide out for one variation story mode characters. I would like to see Sareena, Fujin, and Havik fleshed out with three variations. Most of all skins, I would be happy as hell just to have more skins.
