One character I'm a little bit disappointed to see not make the cut is Fujin. I honestly feel he would have made a lot of sense in this game, especially fighting a Heel Raiden trying to knock some sense into him. I suppose he could always show up in DLC but still. I really don't understand what the developers have against Fujin. He was probably one of the more popular characters in 4 and basically every game since people've been begging for him back but other than Armageddon when they had to they just refuse to make it happen.

He’s got a cool power set (wind power) and a decent character design that could easily be refreshed. So, yes, I want more Fujin.

Eh, I wouldn't put a crazy amount of stock into that leaked roster. I mean, most of the "leaked" characters are ones we knew were in. But yeah, I want more Fujin.

That's a very good point, especially with how Ed Boon and Netherrealm Studios in general love to take characters who weren't super popular at first and improve them. If you had told me before MKX that I would have ever given a shit about characters like Tanya or Tremor, I would have laughed in your face.

Honestly, if I was in charge of character development at Netherrealm I would try and rejigger characters that didn't work at least in the concept stage. I mean I joke about Hsu Hao but I could think of a few ways to fix him. Like lean into him being a cyborg, they have the Lin Kuei Borgs, but a black market criminal empire would have different equipment than a ninja assassin clan.

Honestly in general I find the Red Dragon pretty disappointingly half-baked. The idea of an ancient criminal empire ran by a would-be god has some serious potential but doesn't translate to much besides them just being mooks, Mavado has a cool look and some decent gameplay hooks but suffers from basically just being Kano 3 (since Jarek is already Kano 2) in terms of character and his gimmick not really translating to 2D, Hsu Hao's kind of just a generic minion, and Daegon has some real potential as a major recurring villain and while they clearly realize this they seem to prefer to just leave it to being a background detail instead of trying to flesh him out.

I think Mavado being the more charismatic leader has room to grow from. But like all of his moves were designed around a 3d play area which they've moved away from.

Pretty much, and what could be done with them in 2D is probably already done better by Takeda.

I had this image of a hulking Hsu Hao with some of his cyborg parts exposed, then more of his cyborg body parts gradually gets exposed when he takes damage.
