im kind of hoping that one of these days there is going to be a free patch to "complete" these characters, its not exactly impossible i suppose.

they'll probably be ready for the complete edition latter down the line

You'd think so, but the greater gaming world has no shred of common sense. For example, the guy who reviewed MKX for IGN gave the game a lower score due to "microtransactions", even though the things you can pay for can be unlocked in the Krypt for free. Statements like that create a horde of followers who blindly start to complain without looking into the facts.

I sincerely hope that we can all get past this as a gaming community, but the few companies that did abuse DLC content have made a lot of people overly sensitive to the slightest little things.

Personally I'm all for more content, and I don't care where it comes from as long as it's good :cool:

This exactly.

I am part of some gaming FB groups and members of the Street Fighter community keep reposting articles like this because they can't comprehend that these characters really aren't complete in the context of this game.

Charging for 1 use Easy Fatalities also seems to be a sensitive subject for the masses. I understand the complaints, but on the same note i'm not part of the audience for easy fatalities.

Personally, I think they're still a little sensitive because of SFxT on disk DLC and SFV plans.

They shouldn't call that modding. He didn't mod anything. Just renamed some files. Shinnock was the obvious choice as he would be the most likely to have an exploit {Someone @ NRS just slipped when they decided to make him playable } All those npc's have extremely limited movesets & because of the fact that they're still sharing assets with shinnock they have his Steal Move {Where he steals a power from opp} a Mod would've been that you @ the very least completely swap the characters, which can presumably be achieved using C.E. in which case the game engine would only load the assets for the NPC & not both. ShinnockBoss is a complete character.

its funny that you said that. Check Ed Boons twitter. They were already accused of it by some lame online gaming magazine.

That guy @ GamingBolt is retarded. None of those files are DLC's {Don't count Goro cause he's pre-order bonus so of course he's on disc & Jason is part of the kombat Pack and only his char file is on disc he's missing about 20 files for him to be playable.}

All those other files are DSIM files which are dismemberment files { self-explanatory }. They have 0 to do with actual DLC's

That Don't Impress Me Much
while these characters do look awesome. there are things missing. the x-rays most notably. Sindel does not have her hair whip or her b2 then forward pop up punch that you'd use a hair whip with from mk9. her scream is significantly faster. she also doesn't fly that I recall. which could mean either those would be in another variation or that's all they programmed. Rain also is missing his double kick which can easily connect to is water ball unless they player is not using it. Also his water spray now works more like a stun. This could just be cuz the game moves faster and worked out that way. Baraka also seems to benefit heavily from the speed increase. I still think his blade chop needs more range like in mk2, and more blood spouting. I question if they made them not playable except as npcs in story mode only to generate discussion to help hype future sales to be released as DLC and if people hated them they'd scrap them. Otherwise, I don't know if people would be as hyped about them. Also...it seems odd they would pick Rain and Sindel of all people. All the other revenants are not fightable and with the exception of Smoke, none of the others are generating much interest at least to my knowledge.

I'm doubting it but I hope Tanya has an alt. Hopefully her Deception outfit. I have hope since Injustice gave some of their DLCs alts. Hopefully if Rain is released he gets his UMK3 one. I mostly want it cuz I feel ripped off console mk9 players did not get any of the UMK3 ninja suits.

I played the npcs myself and I couldn't help but feel like nrs made this all intentional (perhaps for the purpose of selling more pc copies or create controversy). Why? Along with them being so hard to resist from seeing them in story mode, the "modding" was way too easy and moves were fixed up to be playable by a human. e.g Baraka's bb1 would be unusable in mkx so it was changed to db1. Obviously the developers probably changed it so that they could have some fun playing as their favourites but everything just adds up ya know?

It wouldn't surprise me since this is already the biggest MK ever for the franchise if they did start a Killer Instinct type DLC for characters not already in game, or who are in game but are only npc. We will findout what happens after we get the last DLC character. I'm sure NRS will announce something.

I noticed in Story that Sindel and Baraka are near carbon copies of what they were in MK9 )moveset, stance, etc) but Rain seemed to (Correct me if im wrong) have different things from his Mk9 version. This may be a hint that Baraka/sindel wont be DLC but Rain Will.

NRS guys said no DLC will repeat. So Rain fans - deal with it. But they could've included Rain in the main roster instead of Goro since he's DLC anyway.

I see a lot of people begging for Rain, but why no argument for Fujin? I'm baffled as to why he didn't make the roster. The dude's only been playable in 3 games and he has enough potential for some really cool variations.

This guy is modding it through a trainer {C.E.}

Baraka :

Rain :

Using that method the game only loads the actual NPC {Character Swap Mod via Ram Hack}

Rain not making the default roster was a really stupid decsion.

And IGN is trash.

I don't know but with all this effort they put into Rain, I feel like one of the superfluous (to story) characters on the roster ended up replacing him because, you know, fan service.

Would definitely have rather had Rain. :(

Valid, but this is the same team that told us the final boss was going to be a Character who was not a boss before.

Yeah, that was total bullshit on their part. They did say they had Reiko in some early drafts, I wonder if he was originally intended to be the boss, but they removed him and decided to focus on Shinnok because it was getting too crowded.

On Boon's twitter someone asked about playable npc and he said wait kinda like a "story pack" just a little glimmer of hope for all you who want the npc playable haha

Rockin' Sindel since '95
I feel really bittersweet about this, obviously I'm stoked to see Sindel "playable" but to actually consider her now part of the roster is ridiculous, as it's essentially a hack.

I mean it's not like she has any finishers, or that you could use her in tournaments or whatever.
Still hoping on official releases for these NPC guys.
