Let's assume that they won't include Rain. It's kinda pointless to include him in one game and above all, only as a DLC. It's clearly that they have big plans for him and that only time will tell us what's going on. Plus, he has a pretty cool back and it may or may not influence the main story. And that's my opinion. why was it pointless? he won the poll for it. if most fans wanted Mavado instead could we say he would be included in this game too? i mean its just DLC that had no bearing on the story, that was just who fans wanted to see in the game. by that reasoning shouldnt Freddy be a candidate for being in this game too?

He may or may not be in but seeing as he could have been in since they had every other MK character from 1-3 in except him i think all that shows is how he doesnt have much beyond a cult following of fans and he really isnt that relevant to the story. i mean he may have a cool background but hes been in what, 3 games, 1 as DLC, thats not showing much promise. we have other characters that are bigger fan favs like i mentioned up there plus MK4 characters and even guys like Kenshi that most people would want to see more then him in here. What I wanted to say, but I forgot to, is that it's pointless to have him only as a DLC and not include him in a future game (the case with MKX). The same thing is with Kenshi. Hell, both of them can be included in the roster. With them (assuming), there are another 6 slots to be taken, so don't worry about it.
