Injustice 2 will have guest characters, and Killer Instinct will have new guests soon. But should these guest characters be included over legacies?

This is how you support your first party games! Continued support after 10 years!
The Killer Instinct fans appreciated and the whole FG community celebrates!
Congrats goes to Matt, Mick, Adam and everyone at Iron Galaxy!
Tomorrow we fight together! I can´t wait!
I love KI (still play the old arcade version) but feel like the Xbox version is like a big intimidating chessboard with no easy way to instruct you to play chess.
The game is so deep in terms of little things to do that it makes Smash Bros melee look like a casual experience.
Honestly, doing a combo Breaker is punish/reward by itself but hey you can add a counterbreaker.

Iron Galaxy is celebrating the 10th anniversary of Killer Instinct by launching a new Anniversary Edition for Xbox and PC and an extensive patch several years after the latest update.
There isn't going to be any chance of this being played at tournaments unless it appears on all platforms like all fighting games.
SF5 didn’t appear on all consoles and was still played at Tournaments. I’ve seen KI tournaments recently so I don’t think your opinion is accurate.
A free-to-play fighting game? This was unheard of at the time, but Killer Instinct has proven it's not only doable, but enjoyable!
I disagree. Article says 'who wouldn't want to see Grodd vs the wolfman' or Dracula or whoever. Umm, me!
I never used Scorpion in Injustice Gods among us. Wont use any shoehorned guys in injustice 2 either. Save that stuff for PS Allstars or Smash Bros.
To stay fresh? More like to appeal to a wider audience. What do KI players make of it anyway? Seems like the developers are more focused on guest characters nowadays, if I was a KI fan, I think i'd be a little annoyed by it.
In terms of Netherrealm, I think they balance it well and did a great job with the guest characters in MKX.. did a terrible job with Scorpion though on Injustice, holy hell he was stupidly OP at launch.
Overall though, guest characters should be a novelty more than a continued tradition, the odd one spices things up (Freddy in MK9) without damaging the rest of the cast. It might be great for casual players but it's also a slap in the face to long term fans in the series, Boon says they go by fan feedback, how many people asked for Bubba (Texas Chainsaw Massacre) and I highly doubt the number of requests are anyway near the same levels as they had for other MK characters.
Well they've already charged over 100 quid since launch for a mere 20 or so characters. Why stop now?
