I think they could leave the secondary fatalities and alternative costumes for the game's release, as it would be some kind of spoiler from my point of view.

The secondary fatalities would be a sort of spoiler because it's less funny to play with a character whose fatalities you already know completely (telling this from my own MK experience). Not counting with the people who search for all fatalities on youtube even before touching the game, of course. And also because the secondary ones are to be a surprise even for people who already have the game, which is why instead of they being in the character's move list since the begginning of the game they have to be unlocked in the Krypt, for example. That's also why many people call them "secret fatalities". Revealing something that some consider even a secret months before the game is even released is a big spoiler and, obviously, spoilers spoil gameplay.

The alternative costumes could be an even greater spoiler because many of them are related to the Story Mode. See Jax's alternative one in MK9 for example. Of course, anyone simply can go there in the Krypt before doing anything on Story Mode and unlock every alternative costume, but this is completely different from showing them months before the release. In my opinion, confirming that the game will have secondary fatalities and alternative costumes would be great already.

I also think that it's more unprobable that they reveal new characters at the moment. Notice that the new characters from the game we already know (Ferra/Torr, D'Vorah and Kotal Kahn) were the first ones to be revealed, just after Scorpion and Sub-Zero. And why? Because NRS wanted to cause this shock on us to see our reaction to them. After that and until now, they've focused on announcing the well known characters that are coming back. Also, we already know three of the new guys from the game, and I believe that's enough for now. What are new characters for if you already know all of them before the game? I think it's more probable that NRS keeps on revealing people who are coming back from other games, and about that, I wouldn't discard Kenshi, Ermac and/or Fujin. I agree that they could show more than a single character this time.

Other than that, I agree with everything else you said, or at least would be happy to see it happening.
