Why does the guest character have to be a Playstation exclusive? Not that I'm against it, after all the PS3 is my console, but many people from Xbox get angry about it. It was actually funny to listen to them complaining about Kratos on MK9 and asking NRS to put Master Chief in the game, and then the PS3 fans telling them "We already have Cyrax and Sektor. What do we need another robot for?". It's the kind of thing that estimulates the console war. I don't think that's interesting for NRS.

One thing interesting about having Sweet Tooth is that he faced Kratos in Playstation All Stars, didn't he? It'd be an interesting fact, since Kratos was the last guest character. I'm not against ST, just against the fact that he's an exclusive.

And what's wrong about famous characters being executed in MKX? Shocking fans? NRS could do the same they did to Kratos in MK9: making some fatalities less humiliating when performed on Joel, for example. Actually, seeing Kratos, who was the killer of gods and of everyone of Greek mythology being decapitated by a cab, having his guts split off by Kabal and eaten by living trees was very shocking and humiliating already. But humiliation is a price you have to pay to be present in MK. Imagine how would it be if Sub-Zero and Scorpion, who are also extremely popular characters, weren't executed in shocking ways? At least I still get a little shocked everytime their heads are ripped or they're blown to pieces. But it's all about gameplay and brutality. If not, we wouldn't be able to call it Mortal Kombat.
