Make Fujin A Playable Character In MKX

The Issue

Reason for petition:

With NetherRealm's recent announcement of Tremor as a DLC character for Mortal Kombat X, it is clear a little grassroots action goes a long way. It is a wonderful thing that the crew at NetherRealm cares what fans think, but perhaps those who want Fujin haven't been vocal enough. While many fans are pleased by Tremor's inclusion, many still are concerned that such a niche character may take a spot away from someone with much higher demand. It is clear that not every character can make it into the game, but Fujin is far and away the most commonly requested among the online community. If only one or two more characters are included as later DLC, it would be a great injustice for Fujin to not be among them. 

Brief history: 

First appearing as an unnamed boss in the adventure title Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero, Fujin made his debut in the main fighting series of games during Mortal Kombat 4 portrayed as the God of Wind. Along with Raiden, Fujin is another character in the series to have originated from Japanese religion, based on the Shinto god of the wind of the same name. He appears as a tall, ageless, muscular human with long white hair bound in a ponytail and glowing white eyes. The back of his Mortal Kombat 4 costume features the Chinese character 空, whose most relevant translation to English is air or sky. As expected, he has a great variety of wind-oriented attacks at his disposal. Fujin appears in the story mode for Mortal Kombat X, but all signs point to him not being playable.

Moves:

Fujin is in complete control of all things related to wind. He can levitate by manipulating the wind around him, allowing him to strike the opponent from a safe distance. He can also send miniature tornadoes at his opponents that spin them around several times and leave them vulnerable to follow-up attacks. Additionally, he can levitate the opponent and slam them down on the ground and transform himself into a tornado to heave them towards him. Considering that many of these moves can potentially leave the foe open for a free hit, Fujin has proven to be a supremely powerful fighter on par with that of fellow god Raiden. Fujin is also an immortal God much like Raiden, he can't die as was proven in Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero where he literally created a tornado so large he made himself explode and then returned shortly after that as seen in MK4.
