There's a bit of a difference though: Rain and Skarlet were introduced as secret/rumored characters. Those guys I can understand because secret characters, whether or not they're real, always carry a certain amount of mystique around them. Tremor was the third character we see in the Special Forces intro and we're already given an in-game explanation of him. Also, the whole Lin Kuei ---> Black Dragon isn't really new. Alliances tend to change in the series and the Lin Kuei before Sub-Zero's rule was not exactly known for its more noble deeds.
