If you're gonna advertise the game as this new generation of fighters MK, then shouldn't you be revealing at least a few more than just 4 new characters? Don't forget, we're 3 months from release. I just find there's little to no merit in hiding all the new stuff or keeping it as a "surprise". I personally would get much more hype with new characters than returning ones (provided they're not trash). It's possible that' they might be hiding some of the new characters because they don't know how people would react to it. ' That's mostly what I'm worried about. I don't like the fact they're hiding the new characters like that. Maybe I'm just too worried that the new characters will all suck, but I just don't see why else they wouldn't reveal more than 4 of them when we're 3 months from release. At any rate, I would much rather they show us the new characters now rather than keep hiding them, because that way if they suck at least we'll know MKX will be nothing more than an upgraded MK9. Some of the new characters are probably going to end up being bad. That happens with any fighting game in any series. There's bound to be at least 1 or 2 that sucks.

But I do think that most of the new characters will be great. It's that NetherRealm has had a past of crappy new characters, so maybe they are scared that people won't react to them the way that they want them to. Another reason for showing returning characters instead of new ones could be because they are trying to pull old fans back in, so they will go out and buy the game.

Honestly, the only thing we can do is wait until the game is out. When it's out, we will be able to see all the new characters in the game, how many there are, and which ones are cool and which ones are crap.
