« All Mortal Kombat DLC Banned From EVO »

A quick update for those of you entering Mortal Kombat at EVO2K11 this year: if you planned on using any of the DLC characters at the tournaments, fuggedaboutit! MrWizard tweeted that all Mortal Kombat 9 DLC is banned from the tournament, so this includes characters Skarlet, Kenshi and Rain, not to mention all the alternate costumes as well.

If you're wondering why this is the case, there have been a number of different bugs specifically tied to DLC items and there won't be adequate time to test the new characters to determine if they are broken before the tournament. Oh yeah, and if you haven't heard by now, Kratos is banned for obvious reasons as well.
