I just want a mix of older and newer characters. I speak as a former webmaster of the largest MK fansite online and having personally met Ed Boon myself. I just get tired for reusing the same handful of characters from the first two games because I believe this series is better than that. They don't need to rely on nostalgia to be good; the pinnacle of MK storytelling to me was during Deadly Alliance and Deception, because it proved how good they were at world building and telling new stories without relying on ninja palettes.

It's grating to me how they've kinda fallen back into this pattern of "we can't advance this new timeline beyond MK4 because sales tapered off". Sales only really failed the later 3D games because frankly, they were not well designed from a gameplay standpoint. No one denies that much I think; Mortal Kombat as a respected competitive fighter is something relatively new (discounting UMK3). I just think they can make great games now, and they can do it with a variety of fresher characters that have never really gotten the chance to shine in a game that actually functions well as a fighter.
