I don't like that they jumped so far ahead, because as much as fighting games do need new and fresh characters, you just simply can't rid a series of the mainstays. Cassie is essentially a replacement for Johnny and Sonya, both of which by themselves are better characters than Cassie and it isn't even close. Cassie is a rip off of both of them and that annoys me. Jacqui is a rip of off Jax. Annoying. Same goes for Sonya's variation utilizing grenades a la Stryker. Rip off. That variation of hers, coupled with the Erron Black completely eliminates Stryker from being playable again. Not that I care too much, because Stryker is boring, but still. Let's see... Kitana's variation where she imitates Jade. Rip off. It's just dumb. Like they couldn't come up with enough variations for some characters, so they just ripped off other NPCs. That way they get to say us as fans can't be too angry about Jade not being in the game, because her entire moveset is. I mean, hell... They should've just had Kitana wear green in that variation and ta-da. Don't forget Goro's variation where he had Kintaro's moves. That was another mistake. Plus, Goro is of the Draco lineage, unlike Kintaro, who's of the Tigrar lineage. I know Goro's appearance as a playable character was non-canon and all, but still. Non-canon or otherwise, I agree. I'm also really hoping that Triborg doesn't become integrated into the story. It is the ultimate rip-off. Plus the name is stupid, because well, Quadborg.
