Ugh, Raiden. Yes, we know, you're Netherealm. We don't need half your original roster in this game too.

HELLBOY THOUGH, fanfuckingtastic and I cannot wait.

Manta looks pretty rad too.

I don't hate him it's just that there are so many different DC characters that could take his place, making it feel like a wasted slot. NetherRealm should just make a sequel to Mortal Kombat vs. DC if they want to go that route.

I'm just indifferent to MK and would prefer characters I actually care about.

I like Hellboy though because he's at least a comic book character too.

Ron Perlman is pretty pissed about the fact that they're making a new Hellboy movie without Guillermo Del Torro's involvement. I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't want to be connected to the character at all any more.

A lot of people enjoy Injustice 2 in spite of it being an NRS game. Losing a precious DLC slot to an MK character when there's a ton of fan favorite DC characters that haven't made it in yet sucks.

MKXL being the best main series MK game while also having the most non-MK characters on its roster is proof that the less MK there is in a game, the better.

It's just that, if you want to play as Raiden, I can think of five games off the top of my head where you can do that, but none where you can play as Sand?

Nobody would be complaining if the second MK character was Bo' Rai Cho, just saying.

I think Canary is already a little too close to Cassie / Sonya in both her looks and moveset, while also being pretty good in her own right.

The Del Toro movies are very much 'not Hellboy'. Like, a whole thing in the comics I really like is that he goes to some remote countryside cottage in Scotland and knocks on the door and they're like "Oh you must be detective Hellboy, please come in, my babies being weird". And not "OH MY GOD YOU ARE DIFFERENT". It's never really addressed at all that any of the BPRD are different from society, and the comic is much the better for it. The X-Men already did the whole social commentary thing, and the 'outsiders who are persecuted despite trying to save us even though they look different' just isn't interesting to me at all. At all. And it seems like such a small thing, but it completely changes the entire tone of the thing such that its not the same.

It's like if in Lord of The Rings they had guns instead of bows and arrows. Like, the story is the same, and they perform the same function, but it just isn't the same world.

Raiden, god of thunder, is kind of boring as a fighter. I like his super man move, but really don't care for his play style otherwise.

Raiden, god of blunder, is amazing as a character.

I sincerely hope every word out of his mouth is incorrect, and his arcade ending includes accidentally killing everyone.

Bo Rai Cho is unironically my third favorite Mortal Kombat character (behind Cassie and Johnny). He'd probably be strong enough to win the Mortal Kombat tournament on his own...
but he's from Outworld, so winning would be a VERY BAD THING, so instead he trains Kung Lao and Liu Kang to win in his place (and trains Liu Kang well enough that he wins the whole thing.)

Now, with that description, what would you expect? Some old master? Nah, a drunken master who farts on his opponents. It's a pretty great contrast.

in terms of personality and probably fighting style they're nothing alike, one's a cosmic Satan obsessed with punchwalking, space vomit, hatred, and flying cats while the other loves oversized pistoles, stone sigils, fishmans, and nachos.

Hellboy is cool but it makes me wish NRS just bit the bullet and made a loving cinema/horror fighter with Jason, Freddy, Spawn, and noted WB property Mad Max

Fighter pack 2 is going to have some sick loving costume pieces. You just know Hellboy is going to have a hilarious Legend Tim Curry horns option and Black Manta and Raiden will have awesome hats. Which is good because Raiden's superhero mask is the fuckin worst.
