Like Kratos was okay. Freddy Krueger was alright, if redundant. Then we had Jason, which while annoying seems logical. Predator just pisses me off to NO end. And now they're adding both Alien AND Leatherface? Enough is enough. We could use more franchise character reappearances or new characters, not redundant guests. I'd prefer someone like Mavado, Darrius, Ashrah, EVEN BLAZE!!!!!!!

I would absolutely LOVE to see Ashrah back! HOLY NETHEЯREALM, I'd almost perfer Hsu Hao over a guest character. Speaking of mistake characters, I have a feeling that Leatherface will turn out a lot like Drahmin. Yeah, I can't think of one logical reason they'd include Leatherface. I mean come on, all he does is fight with a chainsaw. At least Hsu Hao was an original character.

My reasoning behind this is cause just look at them.

Drahmin: Demon from the 5th plane of the Netherrealm. Wears a mask partly because it controls his fury & partly because he has a face not even a mother could love. He has his muscular system completely visible, presumably cause he was "tortured for all eternity", which probably also explains the flies swarming about him. His main & only weapon is a cumbersome Iron Club mounted to his forearm.

Leatherface: IMO, typical, run-of-the-mill horror icon. Fat dude in an apron, a tie & a mask made of his victims' skin, hence "Leatherface". His main & (presumably) only weapon is a cumbersome chainsaw.

What do you guys think?

I definitely agree. I just think there were SO many better possible guests than Leatherface. I'm just tired of the horror icons tbh. I get that guest characters are a necessary evil, but I just don't like them. They're okay in moderation but generally they just end up ridiculously OP because they want to pay the character respect (Ezio Auditore in Soul Calibur V anyone?) But I can totally see where you're coming from with the Leatherface/Drahmin thing now that I think about it.
