Final DLC should be Bo Rai Cho. Every attack and button press will make him throw up in different ways. Stage and Babality finishers will be removed to make way for a total of 4 various fartalities.

It kinda looks like Paxton Fettel in the silhouette.
I had to look up who the hell this was.
http://fear.wikia.com/wiki/Paxton_Fettel
"In 2010 Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announced that they would be developing the third installment in the F.E.A.R. franchise entitled F.E.A.R. 3."
Hrrrrm. I'm oddly okay with this, if this is true.

He would fit in.
Started to play this after not touching it for a month since Rain came out. He's pretty fun and has some nice combos. Game is still laggy though. Also, is it just me or is everybody using Raiden now? Or is he just a counterpick to Rain?

Why doesn't anyone believe that it's Snake Eyes? Clearly it's got to be a GI Joe to backup the Sonya/Jax subplot of trying to get into the coolest unit by saving the earth.

Welp... My Hori controller broke. My character is perpetually stuck ducking. I tried to continue playing with the regular Xbox controller but I just can't do it. It's awful. It's a shame... But I can't play anymore until I get this fixed or replaced
I'm gonna look into any manufacturers warranty... But in the meantime I might have to buy one of those MadCatz FightPads. I need my fighting game fix NOW! Argh
Most Hori Sticks use Sanwa parts with quick disconnects. you might be able to replace the stick and be backup and running for relatively cheap.
As far as DLC #4 we have seen Li-Mei, Frost and Daegon in the background fighting so my guess is one of them. Honestly though I would love to see it be a new/fan character such as Nimbus, Hornbuckle, or Plant.
And skins/costumes I'd like to see. Robo Smoke, Robo Reptile (come on it's in the game already just let us play it outside of the tower) MK2 Mileena, MK2 ninjas (vent masks FTW)
Quick question- my friend told me there's supposed to be a "season pass" or something you can buy that lets you download the new/extra characters as they come. Is this real? I've checked the store and haven't seen anything like that.

that is a 360 only thing. they don't have it for the PS3

I picked up Rain yesterday and I am really liking his offense and counter capabilities. Nothing like hitting an opponent with lighting, catching them in a force orb, pulling off a super-roundhouse and then uppercutting them on the return.
My list of decent Post MK3 characters (or at least ones I liked enough to be brought back.)
Ashrah: Good character design and an interesting story of demon seeking redemption
Fujin: I think he has potentially if he can get away from the "Raiden's buddy" shtick
Havik: I think his body twisting abilities are pretty neat. If they did bring him back though, I hope they drop the Chaosrealm/Orderrealm stuff that nobody gives a shit about
Kenshi: Good backstory and an interesting idea of having a blind character
Mavado: Probably the weakest character on my list. His backstory is boring, but his hookshot weapon could provide some interesting gameplay
Meat: Non-existant backstory but christ does he have fun moves. Some of Havik's moves could be folded into him I guess as they both are big on body mutilation moves
Nitara: Skarlet took some of her shtick, but I think she provides a somewhat unique character. Story would need an overhaul
Quan Chi: Probably the best character to come out of the post MK3 era.
Reiko: Has a stigma of being a Noob Saibot replacement in MK4, but I liked his visual design.
I'm going from more of a perspective of core visual design, theme and backstory, as I've played 2-4 & 9 extensively and only 1, 5, and 6 briefly. Plus I trust Netherrealm will redo their moves however they want to make them fun and thematic.
Quan Chi: For numerous reasons such as his dark creepy looks and cunning back-stabbery. Pairs with Shang Tsung nicely for MK5. Bo' Rai Cho: Liu Kang's Outworld mentor? Great! He's the jovial, deceptively-sloppy Kung Fu master archetype? Classic? All his moves involve drinking, puking, and farting? So close, Midway! Keep the flip-kick move, make him breath fire, and round him out with some non-gag martial arts moves and just let his personality reflect his nature like everyone else does. Kenshi: A distinct and solid MK5 character, as mentioned and demonstrated in the new game's DLC. Nitara: Often overlooked but also a good amongst the MK5 cast. Needs a more self-sufficient backstory about liberating her realm than 'fetch that orb, Cyrax'. Ashrah: The best new character from MK6. Distinctly modest costume for a female demon. The core of her redemption story was solid but so many of the post-Tobias stories it relies heavily on the character getting a magic artifact.
For a sixth I'd probably list Frost just due to popularity at the time, although she really steps on Sub-Zero's toes and I don't think has much place these days. My own personal choice as a sixth would be Shinnok. Totally evil cool villain, wasted by his lazy 'Not-Shang Tsung' MK4 gameplay. The boss is supposed to be unplayble to make them cool and tough, Midway.
I'd agree that Reiko has some potential; he's taken on more of a role than 'not Noob Saibot' and definitely been given a noteworthy redesign lately.
So by unique design you mean she looks as terrible as every MK woman but this time with bat wings? Because that's what I see. Now Ashrah, that's a unique design for an MK lady. She has clothes.
Nitara just seems totally out of place in the MK universe. Adding a vampire was a terrible idea. Though in the ps2 era if there was anything they excelled at it was terrible ideas.
wasn't Reiko supposed to be Shao Khan before he became emperor? or like a time-clone of him, or something?
His ending on the n64 version of MK4 (I think it was the N64 version)
EDIT: It seems I forgot to finish writing that part. Check out Iblis' post below for a full explanation behind that.
And yes Barrabas, the wings are pretty damn unique in MK. Being a hot chick with an eye-patch doesn't hurt either.
Also, are you seriously going to make an arbitrary judgement that vampires don't fit into the MK universe? A universe with..
-Demons
-Zombies
-Sorcerers
-Gods
-Telekinetics
-Spectres/Revenants
-Shaman magic
-Magic mutant clones
-Cyborgs
-People made out of souls or blood
-Elementals
-Kung Fu Monks
-Inter-dimensional Special Ops
-Ghosts
-Lizard-men
Yes I am. Zombies are also stupid though. In fact more stupid than the Vampire. Anyone who thinks Zombie Lui Kang was a good idea should have their head examined.

Really, people who complain about ideas being silly or stupid in MORTAL KOMBAT should have their heads examined. The franchise has been full of silly since MK2.
I know who that is, but I'm curious where the hell the name came from.

A winged vampire stands out from a whole slew of not-Kitanas, not-Kanos, and other generics that fill out much of the 3D era cast. Deadly Alliance for the most part consists of said generics, the vampire, the fat man, girl-Sub Zero, and Kenshi. But I keep forgetting Drahmin's in there so take my opinion as you will.
Also, as much as I like to hear more about other realms, the Chaosrealm and Orderrealm doesn't really do it for me. Just seems rather bog-standard and pedestrian in concept.
Clearly the character they should add next is Hornbuckle.
This post is good and you should feel good.
Hornbuckle was on the Midway staff for MK2 and their name was used as a gag by the hidden characters as they'd appear occasionally in the game, stating "Hornbuckle who?". Some assumed this might be a hidden character rather than an inside joke.
And what about Art Lean?

I've said it a dozen times and no one understands, but I always dug Drahmin. Sure, he's a somewhat disgusting oni that eats dead people, but his design is fairly unique. He's got a giant iron club for one arm. He's got an interesting mask with strong feudal Japan influences. He doesn't come from the other predefined character settings, and, being neither human, sorcerer, nor robot, he does actually manage to bring something fresh to the table. He also managed to have a fairly in-depth backstory, albeit one that was never directly discussed in-game.
Ashrah makes it for well explained reasons listed above. Unique female character, iconic look, and, actually now that I think about it, kind of the antithesis of Drahmin.
Beyond that, well, most are already in-game. I can't say I care much for the MK4 cast unless they can be drastically redesigned into actual, fleshed out characters. We've got plenty of ninja, evil clones, sorcerers, elder gods, cyborgs, criminals, earth justice people, monks, and a handful of freaks. There's not a lot more that's needed, to be honest, provided we can get well-designed looks and moves for the characters that already exist. I would like to see people change and age, but, I suspect I'm in the wrong fighting game to ask for that.
Man you 360 guys have to start showing up or something, all I get is randoms these days with the friends list full of people playing games like SOULCALIBUR 4! :P
...not that I don't love that game too and all, but still.

Nah, Reiko's origin is a bit random really. Originally they were developing Noob, but realized it would be hard to see him on some backgrounds, so they made a mysterious new character with a vaguely defined backstory. For his arcade version ending, they had him walking into a portal... and that was it, with the anti-climax of it being a joke. After realizing this really wasn't that funny, they decided to play up his mystery angle and have him emerge from the portal and put on Shao Kahn's helmet in the console version ending. I recall thinking this was neat when I was a kid, and as I stopped playing after MK4, I kind of wondered about that ending for awhile.
As it turns out though, his story is... that he's got some sort of Shao Kahn fetish or something, so he tries to emulate Kahn and sneaks into his room to wear his helmet.

Is a universe where Vampires don't belong?
Pro: It's not a guest character.
Con: In my opinion a guest character would be better than...
It hasn't been confirmed yet, but with it being so close to the reveal (and being a bit of a letdown) I'm inclined to believe it's true.
