@Draft227 That's probably true, except for the lame focus on the Goof Troop in MKX. I think that every new character had enough spotlights on them in MKX, except for Erron and Ferra/Torr. You know an MKX character is too irrelevant for the plot when you end up learning more about them by watching their intro dialogues than by actually playing story mode.

I think in MKX's case, the real "show stealers" were specifically Johnny, Sonya and the Goof Troop, and not the classic characters in general. Liu Kang, Kitana and Kung Lao did almost nothing for the whole plot for example. But leaving the classic characters out of the following MKs certainly isn't the answer either. Balancing the spotlights is always the best solution.
