honestly it would be nice if she showed up as an NPC too, or something? Maybe Liu Kang can just, make her a human without the demon phase first?
They call him Kuai Liang but I am pretty sure Liu Kang just fused their souls
It’s what makes the most sense
They did? Where did they call him Kuai Liang? 👀
Fusing souls make 0 sense lol he's Scorpion not Ermac
On a side note Mileena's predator mouth is raddddd
And also Rain's outfit finally looks good now lol mk11 was the worst ninja design (aside from the past ninjas)
If he can transform an entire species into a plague, I am pretty sure he can mash two people together
But when did they refer to his name?
Ngl that's kinda... cruel
The racism? Yeah
But Kuai Liang and Hanzo were amazing together, I guess he just… made them more together?
Both tbh. The disease-fication of Tarkatans and soul fusing
Is it a two person polycule with Smoke, now?
Wtf
Pls just lmk when they refer to him as Kuai Liang lol I need to know so I can sleep at night lolol
Dm
So I guess it is safe to assume that the leak which included Rain and Smoke is true.
And we still don't know who Scorpion is in this
It’s pretty damn clearly Kuai Liang
Yeah that's the thing lol I saw the trailer and was disappointed. His voice doesn't sound like Kuai Liang
My guess is, Kuai Liang fused with Hanzo
?
He stole his voice like Little Mermaid
This is gonna be legendary
Tbh I'm not even sure if it's Hanzo's voice
His voice gets several octaves deeper when he screams “GET OVER HERE!” But that doesn’t mean much since in the movie it’s the only sentence in English he knows
All the little detail is awesome
How is it clear lol (you can dm me btw)
I already did
Yes but he speaks other lines too. I never count the GET OVER HERE because iirc it's voiced by Ed Boob?
Yeah
not in 11
Guess it's still not confirmed his new identity and I'm going to slightly lose sleep on this until September lolol
I'm sad Patrick Seitz didn't return 😭
not me praying to the elder gods I hit level 10 so I can send an image
Lol
Rain is usually a soldier for Outworld before finding out about his heritage. Since Sindel rules OW now and her color is purple, then most likely, that's the lore reason for Rain being dressed in that color, it's part of the "uniform".
Does Sindel rule Outworld?
Mileena is heir of Outworld according to the bios
And we saw Sindel and Mileena sitting on a throne for 0.1 secs
Johnny having a cool ability like that makes me think about what other characters could have
I can help you send
Imagine we get zombie Liu kang kameo
@lofty marsh
It’s really interesting cause over half the roster has been revealed and we have no jobbers, two antagonists and three Lin Kuei. Those aren’t the usual numbers.
So like I was saying before, the Sindel Dora Milaje are dressed in something like Tanya's clothes
So Tanya will likely be one of them as well
Is everyone just gonna beat the shit out of reptile while Shang Tsung Fortnite dances? Is that the plot?
Which is probably how she'll end up hooking up with Mileena
Lin Kuei gang for the win🔥❄️💨
yeah sindel is on either side of this map
the other side shes on teh throne with kitana and mileena next to them
Pretty sure I heard ermac in the trailer
“Iin kuei we have been expecting you” that wasn’t rain
i think thats geras
Did sound like em too huh?
especially the raspiness of the voice and pronounciation
when did we see millena's face split?
At the very beginning of the kast
when? 😵💫
Holy weave
He is.
I imagine the person next to her is Jerrod Kahn... Before the stabbing
where tf is Hanzo then 
In my bussy, ofc
btw who tf were those soldiers Scorpion was frying up?
Frost was also in no leaks as kameo. Safe so say those are debunked
well i hope they are debunked lol
Scorpion.
but thats Kuai Liang no?
Kuanzo Lazashi
cant wait too see my boy
who
hes leaked yes
nice
and Rain pretty much confirmed it
"I am why
Mortals Kry"
leaks konfirmed
is this a leak or NRS material?
when he learns of his demigod status
i mean hes probably not a Demi god now
"You're a wizard mage, Harry Rain"
I FUCKING CALLED IT
HERE
“Sorcerer Rain”
I KNEW IT
uhm he's akshually a mage 🙄
high mage rain vs sorcerer shang tsung SLAY
It's interesting that Smoke doesn't have innate powers and his smokiness is learnt lol
It's also interesting that Subzero and Scorpion are born with different powers
seems like a change that Liu did so Smoke isnt sacrificed to a demon to get his powers
And neither is Scorpion's power from being an undead
Based Liu Kang giving out superpowers for free without evil trauma
i think the wording means he has learned magic but in a normal way mixed with deceit- sleight of hand
So rain is a sorcerer now?
because hes clearly moving people with smoke powers in the trailer so its not a sonya situation
he clearly has supernatural powers, probably just learnt ones
Kitana: Eww
and we see him floating in the air on the trailer
that smoke-nado looked so cool
Tbhhh he also gave her the potential throne, and it's not like being a clone made by an evil wizard isn't traumatic
yeah but i know people with 0 reading comprehension will say they nerfed him or depowered him
😭
They really double down on Lin kawaii being assassins with smoke
Smoke doesnt have supernatural abilitys now
Tbh I'm not sure what's the difference between 'practical magic' and supernatural abilities lol
he does bestie
you can see him floating in the air on the story 😭
They call it 'practical magic'
pratical magic aka actually learning magic

instead of having innate abilities
magic is magic
we literaly see him in a tornado of smoke floating in the air
how is that done witout powers
mysterio drones
im sorry but
😭
Anyways, does that mean that there's no Tundra and hopefully Bi Han won't die because no one will replace him?
im just saying what NRS officially said
they themselfs said he doesnt have Supernatural abilitys like Sub and Scorpion
Something you learned instead of being born with?
maybe we will just have to wait and see
Eventually, Smoke chose to make the Lin Kuei’s mission his own. But as he lacked his brothers' innate supernatural abilities, he set out to master practical magic. Having done so. he now joins them in Earthrealm's defense.
Based Liu Kang giving out superpowers for free, and also give them out for free even without being born with
But how does Subzero and Scorpion get born with different powers lol
you can see in his gameplay that hes more grenades and knifes
Smoke-nado go brrrr
R.I.P Smoke's family 😔
its just a long ass fart
that make him fly metres into the sky
yeah totaly
floating in the air by science
I like how Scorpion and Sub look at him like 'wtf bro'
and in the gameplay you can see him teleport witout smoke grenades
AND MOVING PEOPLE IN THE GROUND WITOUT TOUCHING HTEM
and literaly RECALLING HIS BLADE ON HIS OWN
THE BLADE MOVES ON ITS OWN
IT SPINS AROUND IN THE AIR CLEARLY TROUGH TELEKINESIS
TAKE THE L, YOU ARE WRONG
youre acting like i care enough about smoke
but acting like his moveset is the same as its ever been is just wrong
its much more tech based
okay
man literally killed someone with a smoke grenade
Yes, his technique is more practical
okay we agree on that
Tbh we don't know the precise difference yet but for now it seems his practical magic is kinda like a superpwer
As opposed to be like, batman
ill say i actually kinda like this actuall ninjutsu take to the smoke
Bi hams death is a universal truth in the mk universe
hes casting spells with regents and physical components
so its like a dnd arcane trickster rogue or somethihng
hes using magic but its not inherit to him, so like a learned martial art
while subzero and scorpion seem to have been born with their innate abilities, smoke learned his
wich makes even cooler in my eyes
I agree
Like, did we forget that Skarlet also learned her powers?
Technically cryomacy was a learned ability at one point but idk when it got retconned
So Sub and Scorp being born with their abilities is even more of an anomaly lol
fr lol. Its unlike mk9 where he did it himself
see skarlet is a outworlder
he woont die it will be scorpion
and those tend to be inheritly magical to one degree
this is the first time beyond shang tsung we know of a earthrealmer witout inate magical abilities LEARNING magic
and thats is a very good development
im not counting the shaolin monks because i have no idea how that works but still
Tbh there's nothing that shows earthrealmers can't learn magic
Not in the previous timelines iirc
They just don't know where to learn it. It's like you can't play piano if there's nowhere tutorials/teachers you can find
I mean, Shaolin is an example
Kung Lao's teleport is kinda magical
And iirc cryomancy was a learned skill
They both die. One become noob and the other becomes havik. Trollface
Frost becomes new sub zero
Nrs writing wills this
Scorpion old timeline kills scorpion new timeline
I think he just
Doesn’t use magic?
Like, that may sound insane, but he does seem to just use grenades and blades
We had this convo he does
Maybe he is more of a techno wizard, which would be a nice callback to cyber smoke
Right, you did, but I didn’t.
You can see him floating in the air in a magical tornado of smoke
Okay sorry
But i tjink the wording means he has learned his magic
While subzero and scorpion were born with it
Yeh
I mean, that COULD just be the cyber lin kuei’s nanomachinery
You can see on his gameplay he is teleporting , moving his knife in the air
Moving the oponent in waves of smoke thats hes controlling
He definitely has magic
But he has to utilize his smoke grenades and blade as suppoet
Wich i think is super cool and helps his ninja aesthetic
“WHY WONT YOU DIE?!?”
starts floating
“Nanomachines, brother. They disperse in response to physical trauma.”
But pratical magic- magic that has to be practise and learned imo
I get you but i dont think its the case
Theres smoke emanating from his hands his knife moves on its own
The oponent also moves on its own driven by smoke
Theres a pratical element acompnying his magic but its still there
People are going “WHY DOES RAIDEN HAVE LIGHTNING POWERS??? HE ISNT A GOD ANYMORE”
my brother in Christ, NEITHER WAS LIU KANG
THE REAL QUESTION IS, WHY DID RAIDEN EVER HAVE LIGHTNING POWERS IF HE IS THE GOD OF “THUNDER”
THUNDER IS THE SOUND THAT LIGHTNING MAKES
ITS NOT “Sizzle god Liu Kang”
Maybe that's part of the plot
He starts with "practical magic" makes some accidental evil pact and ends up with magic
But an enenra
I was right about Rain, i guess haha
I think pratical magic means actuall magic thst has to be practised
Since in the story he’s flying around
Thsts not pratical effects
That's literally what i said
Gaining actual magic might be part of the plot
Like Kenshi going blind
My bad then i didnt catch that
I love these new origins and ocupations for smoke and rain that can still be developed into their classical elements
I wonder which Sindel origins are we gonna get
Finding out hes a demigod, enenra
Because she might be less of an asshole than in MK11
But ruling Outworld, having Mileena as a heir, SK as general and Jerrod being seemly MIA seem to point towards "Still an asshole"
I think shell still love her children and realm deeply
But not be a perfect holy primadona
And retain some of her more pragmatic , empress ways
I think they’re just gonna avoid showing her? Also I am like, 90% sure that Shao is the twins’ father.
We dont know well see
Sindel already sorta leaked being on the background of the stage
On the other side
So they probably want her to be a special reveal since she’s very popular ans her new story will surely br a topic of hype
Honestly it’s cute how in MK9-11 Shao seems to kind of… want to be a traditional dad? He even has a Mileena intro where he says “With your return and Sindel’s, our family is complete.”
someone give this man an “I am not the step dad, I am the dad that stepped up” shirt.
Hopefully he gets to fulfill this in MK1 somehow
Interesting they changed rain’s bio to exclude Shao and Sindel’s names. Think that helps the leaks out even more lol
Also I guess next reveal will be at comic con in 2 weeks. Hopefully we get a kast next week though for breakdowns
Fr Imma make a fanart of this will tag you (if I ever make it and not procrastinate lol)
Shao and Sindel are lowkey relationship goals even though they're evil villains
(Unlike many villain couples ofc)
It's a wholesome image but Shao titty lol
As long as he keeps the helmet and doesn't have spikes in his dick
I love the detail the tiddy gives
Its like
Besides confirming the leaks
That sort of stuff is generally quite curated
So it might be part of Boon "characters won't be revealed, they'll leak" thing, if he was being serious
Funny how despite all cautions, some shit did leak a year ago
All of this guy's leaks are confirmed true now
So I guess this is our potential full roster?
Jerrod being playable would be nice
and a actual leaker disproved it
FUCK
Mk1Insider was the one who came up with the general shao, smoke and rain things tho
no he did not
includes kameos in the list
and he himself posted the other one as the leaked roster
Interesting
r000r are most accurate leaker said stuff like the borgs and Jade arent playable
they are a kameo
Isn't ferra like
Amazon leaked?
no one likes her
NO WAY IN HELL THIS ISN’T ONAGA’S UNDEAD ARMY
WTF!!! https://t.co/SCAAyRlmQK
Hope the Jade gays are as annoying as the Mileena gays
Hold on let him cook
Ferra Torr is pretty cool
wthats what i was thinking when i first saw it too
Def looks like Onagas undead army
Well, that's relative
he's in the next one
im surprised Rain fans arent complaining that hes a zoner
I was ready to write "Edenians can be old and look 20" 
I wonder if KK will be weekly...
nah they would have announced one if so
Although if technically they are showcasing 4 characters
They can do them every 15 days or so
Did they say who scorpion was
No 😦
huh? 4?
They might do the Twins + Sindel and Shao, The Shaolins + Li Mei and Reiko etc
The Ninja bros + Smoke and Rain
so there will be more trailers?
Yet...
Through the months, i suppose
D'vorah kameo pls 
Based, thank you
im with u on that
I enjoyed her character
That is 1000% Onagas army
yup looks just about the same
And you seen those soldiers that get assasinatedlater in the trailer wearing the same armour as Goro
Which has inagas head on it
i don't think that Edenia exists anymore...
Kitana and Sindel are now Outworlders, Rain is an Outworld magician, where the fuck is Edenia?
We can't just blame Liu Kang on everything lol
well i am 
What if keeping Edenia means something worse happens?
why not? he literally controls everything
wouldn't keeping Outworld be worse?
You have to play Life is Strange to understand why being able to reset time doesn't necessarily make things better
ew oh god no
Ooof
But yeah for example, preventing the death of your best friend's father will actually make her life much, much wrose (in Life is Strange)
So maybe keeping Edenia will make things worse, butterfly effect and all that
tbh i genuniely think that NRS has kinda forgotten that Edenia exist. in Jade's Mk11 intro with Scorpion she says Edenia is gone forever because it was merged with Outworld
They do know it exists, they've referenced it in many characters' ending
i didnt know how to say that it better, i meant to say that i think they forgot it could be fixed
But this outworld is actually a non-dystopian version of the past timeline's outworld
So, maybe Liu Kang did fix it
Yeh this outworld looks like Edenia
could be Outworld merged with Edenia instead of the other way around
Rain looks like he’s gonna be as annoying as MK11 Jade
I hope he isn’t tho
Also I knew Kameos were gonna have more utility outside of direct attacks because Scorpion pulled SubZero across the arena away from the opponent.
Noob is sub zero scorpions father. Smoke will be killed by sub zero. Noob smoke mk13 confirmed
Outworld looks like Edenia
In this game
So far
So i'm fine with it. They might go with the Edenians being conquerors in this timeline.
Rain Kahn konfirmed?!?!?
This is not true, there’s been a playtester leak that came out long before mk1insider even appeared
I think Sindel is most likely the Kahn in this timeline. Because it's said that Mileena will inherit her throne
Mileena’s mouth actually opens up sideways too. Predator lookin bitch. Ugly motherfucker
Very blade 2 I love it
The ideas been around for a decade also. This was MKX concept for Mileena’s mouth
MK1 Mileena alternate costume
Honestly that is pretty cool.
It’s funny that they can’t decide on one consistent design for Mileena though
MK9 she has big-ass teeth. MKX she has lips. MK11, she has fucked up baby-teeth lookin stuff.
Now they turned her into a Volatile. Funniest shit I ever seen.
mkx likely had best design imo
She only had the lips so D’Vorah could have some fun.
loool
So far as I know Mileena never had lips in any other MK game except MKX where they decided to change her design, likely exclusively for the death kiss
fr
just another mk game just another accurate leak
Soon as I get home from work I’m gonna make a meme out of it
This is accurate lol it was specifically for story purposes, but it also makes the most realistic sense to pronounce certain sounds you need your lips
But her cheeks are open. Having lips wouldn’t make a difference because the air that your lips would block to make those noises would escape through her open cheeks
I believe Tarkatans have a different vocal structure that allows them to make such sounds that we need lips for. Have you heard birds talking? Kind of like that. They can make pretty clear M, B, and P sounds and they don’t have lips nor can their beaks close and block air completely
I mean it’s all fantasy so they can say whatever they want as an excuse for their vocal structure 😂
Lmao yeah
I do like the new approach to Mileena’s mouth
I’m curious how that looks with her gameplay also. It’s very blade/resident evil
next trailer will likely be something showcasing mileena, kitana while revealing shao and sindel. Outworld reveal
we had the lin kuei today
I wouldn't hold my breath, although I'd be happy
Now that i think about it
Given that Li Mei color scheme is also purpleish
She might also be part of the army
Also since we know what Mileena’s mouth looks like. Does that mean this is baraka??
Not exactly the same, I know it’s just a design but maybe baraka is also in? Help explain the whole tarkat disease
I agree I think it will be edenian/new Outworld based with Kitana, Mileena, Sindel, Tanya, Shao and kameo Jade and Goro
If Jade is a kameo I can expect her fanbase to meltdown
oh no what if jade fans pull of a milleena stan move
I think she could be in a KP2 though. I hope there's another story expansion where she has a role
I won't be surprised if they do its gonna be tedious
I think mk1 Mileena is the best hands down
They took her best skin (which has better hairstyle than the default) from mk11 and gave a badass jaw
Idk how to explain but girls having big teeth just looks badass and hot, even though it should be monstrous
But I understand why now just look at KDA Akali
Same concept
Mileena: Hello, Volatile from Dying Light and Dying Light 2: Stay Human.
Volatile: Hello, Mileena from Mortal Kombat 1.
Jade=💰 she’s gonna be dlc
LOL
I’m a goddess with a blade 🎶
Take my money 💰
They will happily
I hope this game is gonna be supported until at least 2028
Like just make it Armageddon 2.0, it’s not like DC’s Injustice should come anytime soon with how messy it is on that side rn lol
This took me all of 20 minutes to make in Microsoft Paint.
I wish I had that publisher app but I don't want to sell my soul to Microsoft Office shit lmao
Okay. That's two new characters so far.
A VISION HAS STRUCK ME
MK: SM2
Raiden and Kung Lao, guided by Liu Kang (who is probably not Shang Tsung this time) to fight Onaga.
First game to sell one morbillion bucks
The snake Kenshi talks to Kitana bout in an intro is either Tanya, Rain, General Shao or maybe even Reiko
Losty going to be scared of that mouth
It’s probably Rain since he’s very directly in the Jafar role to the crown according to his bio. I’d like it to be Shao or Reiko but the last ten years shows they like those two to be more direct and brutish than silver tongued. Could be Tanya too but rain makes tons of sense from what we know about him now
Purple Rain. The Prince of Edenia.
Not anymore lol
That's OG timeline lol
I'd rather Bi Han doesn't die again
Feels like they’re setting up Bi-Han to get his ass beat again
By Kuai Liang (Scorpion) because they’re disagreeing on each others’ methods and what the Lin Kuei should do.
Scorpion dies and becomes Noob Saibot
I think Rain is not Demi-God anymore
i hope smoke gets a hood
Maybe he just doesn't know he's a son of Argus yet.
idk if Edenia even exist now
nor Argus
i think Kitana mentions Edenian but that could now just be a city in Outworld
who knows tbh
Is Tomas Vrbada still Czech? It's said that he stumbled upon the Lin Kuei when he was young.
Who is Argus again?
Holy shit what my phone actually didn’t autocorrect me away from Argus??? I swipe typed it.
Rain's father, god of Edenia
I just hope that Nitara/Ashrah/Lei Mei are fleshed out, fun fighters, and that Mileena is competitive in this one and I’ll be happy
Always have mained a fem character and won’t be stopping now
Yeah but Zeus was the omega slut
Poseidon’s a rapist.
All Gods of thunder were toxic manwhores, Chaac, Thor, Zeus
yeah its a shorter list to say who were good people lol
It would be cool if Hanzo became Noob
y
i dont get it
throwing one character into another doesnt make the character more interesting it just makes the character more boring
No smoke dies and becomes noob
even worse
I'm glad to see Frost as human again in MK1 just like last time in Armageddon
yeah wish we got this version and not borg in mk11
this frost actually looks and feels like Frost
I mean her as a cyborg separates her from Sub Zero
if NRS cant form a different moveset from a completely different character (which they can they have done it multiple times) then dont do Frost
I really like how through MKX and MK11 story mode, Johnny Cage doesn’t wear sunglasses but he always does in multiplayer. The same thing seems to be happening in MK1 as well.
To clarify I meant the Johnny you play as. Older Johnny in MK11
ah yeah
In MKX he doesn’t wear sunglasses in story mode and the same goes in MK11.
MK11 Multiplayer Johnny is his past version apparently
its both
Tbh most of the time-displaced characters on the list behave like their past versions even though their default outfits are their present versions. Even the Revenants.
intros just doesnt change with skins
They did in MKX didn’t they?
yes
Like a Revenant would have a different voice line
Yeah
Idk I’m just disappointed
They could have done that but they kind of skimped out on MK11.
Didn’t even have an actual full year of support
Boon said they’re far from done and then they nerfed Sheeva’s stomp because a streamer literally cried about it and then dipped to make MK1
it had 2 years of support
Barely
yeah but it is what it is
i think it ended quickly cus of alot of backlash with MK11s gameplay
Just another slightly underwhelming finale, y’know?
i love mk11
MK11’s gameplay was fine. People were just salty that they couldn’t destroy newbies consistently like they could in MKX
i think besides kronika i like the story
and aftermath is great
MK1 im not a fan of the retcons
Like MK11 is my first game in the MK series. I liked it. I wasn’t a top 1% player and I didn’t need to be.
The people who hate MK11’s gameplay are just tryhards
but ill give them the benefit of the doubt and let them cook
like Smoke feels weird too me
i wanted to play him but after seeing his gameplay im meh on
Lots of wasted plotential in 9X11 but it’s fine tbh.
The games were still fun to play. Story sucks ass, sure, but the games are fun
i dont think the storys suck
Sure they could have done plenty better story wise but the games were all really good and that’s what we want
i just think them not following previous games lore makes the writing way worse
i think Sindel being evil would have been cool if Sindel being evil makes no sense
Yeah like they set up cool shit like dark Raiden and the Revenants and just tossed them out in MK11
Again, the games were fun to play and that what matters really
Sindel: Killed herself to protect Earthrealm from Shao Kahn and because she didn’t want to marry him
Also Sindel: Shao Kahn’s wife, was murdered by Quan Chi, has been evil the whole time, wants to take over everything with Shao Kahn
🅱️ruh is you bad or not 😂😂😂😂
I hope not
Why did Smoke and Frost swap hairstyles? Are they dating?
Sindel will probably be neutral
She loves her daughters but looks down on Earthrealm
Y’all
When Scorpion does his Klassic Kameo Fatality in the trailer
Are there multiple rib cages?
foreshadowing???
Smoke is definitely going to die
Forming the unmendable rift between Bi-Han and Kuai Liang
LETS GOO
i hope my story mode predictions are right 😎
its askhually Kuanzo Liasashi
My mistake
I sure hope they do
Gays we made Padam Padam happen, we can make this too
Fengjian Village (Chinese: 逢简村) is a village in Xingtan Town, Shunde, Foshan, Guangdong, China with a total area of 5.22 square kilometres (2.02 sq mi).
The village has a long history and features historic sites throughout. It has three stone arch bridges: the Juji (Chinese: 巨济桥) and Mingyuan Bridges (Chinese: 明远桥) built in the Song Dynasty (960...
I just realised Fengjian village is a real place lol
Turns out Kung Lao is from Guangdong (like my family lolol)
It makes sense because Wing Chun comes from Foshan, Guangdong and Fengjian is in Foshan lol
MK1 LEAK TWEET
The current leaks that hold value:
And there's a 4th one I can't find that told me about the "Lin Kuei Trailer", however that person told me it was Reptile and Smoke but we got Rain and Smoke 🤷🏻♀️ In that leak he said that Ermac is DLC&Onaga is NOT the main villain
695
So some of the roster was right
Onaga is likely villain of the next mk game
This game will be the DA to Deception
Where you hype Onaga throughout the story but he ends up being the next game's big villain
Why do some people think Smoke no longer has powers? Calling him Ninja Stryker.
He can literally teleport.
Def had his moments though
Yep the calm before the storm
He doesn't have innate powers, he learned magic
I do hope Noob becomes a kameo. If he does, he and Smoke can be a call back to Decepticon
Rain is probably still a demi God, that could explain his mastery of water magic. At least I hope that's the case. Smoke being magic tho im meh about.
wait a second should newer timeline sindel be called Sindel Kahnum?
they already are
New MK Finisher idea: Funktality.
The winner dances.
so basically raidens friendship
Liu kang’s friendship*
Seriously?
yeah ive seen them go with hastags and events
that they got what they wanted and it arguably pushed mileena even further onto the hirearchy as the female face of the franchise alongside kitana 😭
thats the lesson here
Rain could probably be a demi God if that's the case. I do think it's cool that he's a wizard. And I like Smoke in 1
wizard rain casting spells is saur good
For real
Yeah I love the wizard element already actually. I hope he has his water bubble and round house kick though
Smoke I'm digging gameplay and design wise. Just the hair and mask are eh
I wonder what other characters will be at the Imperial Academy of Sorcery
The mask is fine for me. It's the hair. I'm use to seeing him with long hair
Same can't wait to see the alt designs. Rain especially I'm gonna mainly use his klassic design if there is one.
I love the mask
Cuz his design in 1 I'm mot feeling much. I like the wizard element and what we've seen of his playstyle so far but the design I'm not a huge fan of
I hope he gets a hood though
i think hell have it in spirit
not in a 1 to 1 continuation however
kitanas new fan nado is mixing her mechanics from her old tornado lift and fan combos into one thing
Yeah maybe. I'm interested to see his other moves he looks fun to play as
since its a reboot, and since we have kameos, i think they are going to keep it in spirit but not in exactly the same way
he seems to have a water portal and projectiles that pop up
Let's just hope we don't have Smoke and Rain Kameos
and if he gets a kameo those moves would absolutly be present
we absolutly will now im certain of it
Highly doubt it
perfect dlc extra bits because those classic moves will be missing and people will want them
We only have 5 slots up top 7 left
Yeah I can imagine kameo Rain will for sure have the bubble. If he's a thing
They might get them in dlc
But they shouldn't be in base
We already have to many base characters as kameos
Agreed
as dlc that is
ELI5 but why can't we have a bigger roster? It's 2023
I'd like more obscure characters like Meat, Mokap, Drahmin
like im saying those kameos of klassic rain and smoke would make complete sense with their new kits
24 is a big roster
Why can't we have like, 42?
I can't tell if you're being serious
Imma give the benefit of the doubt and say you aren't
I am
Lol
Dota and league have 100+ heroes. Overwatch has 37
If we had 42 characters at launch are game would be looking like Armageddon
And that's not a good thing
24 seems like a really tiny number
Ok I mean yeah at launch. But tbh there are only a handful of DLC characters
Not counting guests
Creating a fighter is a lot more work than a LoL character
Especially as ones as free as mk1s
SF6 launched with 10 less than mk1
Well 6
Maybe 7 if the roster is 25
I'm still hoping for Reiko, Motaro, Erron Black, and Kabal
i think as far as base roster im extremely happy
i just need for my personal taste so you dont all jump at my subjective opinions:
Jade, sareena, skarlet, noob
then on a lower tier of priority:
kabal, dvorah, hotaro , cetrion
Noob may be in the next one
if sareena is a kameo i think it will make people go crazy for wanting her i think
kameos do the oposite of what i thought they would do
crazy in a good way or in a bad way?
they actually, i think, are increasing interst in these characthers
um not sure e-e
but crazy as in we want sareena dlc type of crazy
shes had some constant support since mkx but kameos are so well realized and animated
not sure im making sense but i guess having a taste of sareena could galvanize the masses, im reaching mayhaps
A zoner with scorpion is bonkers
but im excited for her nonetheless
Finally get in? Yoink

im sorry but i laughed when he was clearly anoyed sektor and cyrax are kameos and rain is a playable characther 😭
It looks like he likes them
Yeah lol
He doesn't
I've watched Max for a long time
He wanted smoke but he wanted mk9/x smoke
Which 1 isn't
Translation: he wanted a ninja with long hair
why the hell would an assassin or ninja or whatever have long hair? Isn’t that awful for sneaking around
I guess you could salvage that by giving him a hood but if he is the only hooded lin Kuei it’s gonna stand out
He should get a hood
No, the tight-fitting hood looks good on no one
Then again the Lin Kuei were wearing bright colors and went to some fortresses by the front doors in broad daylight
Fair enough, but that doesn’t mean much if the modus operandi is hiding behind corners
btw props to Bi Han for being the grandmaster and still doing dangerous missions. This is some funny Valentine shit where the leader of the nation is also the strongest guy.
That makes 0 sense lol maybe Bi Han is just a himbo who doesn't know stealth
Theres a part of the trailer where Bi Han creates an ice slide to hide behind a corner
Yes I saw that, but he's still wearing bright colors and going at their front doors in broad daylight
At least he and Scorpion be scaling the walls like a ninja
if he has a big ass rock in front of him, it don’t matter what he is wearing
Smoke just flew up there with a whole ass tornado with a t-pose
Much stealth, very ninja
Kuai Liang in past timeline: Am I a joke
Sure but kuai Liang is a lot less military leader in the past timeline

Ngl I like how the Lin Kuei squad finally goes on a mission together lol
Lin Kuei and their telescopes
the three ninja bros
i really hope Bi Han is a asshole but at the end of the game sees hes wrong and doesnt die
i think this looks pretty dope
hope we get a skin like this
fr
They know we want long hair
"Kelly Hu as a unrevealed character"
Li Mei?
She voices Ashrah in the next animated movie, so it could be her.
ooh
Ashrah is super hype
she also voices Dvorah
imagine if she was one of the 2 we didnt know about lol
ashrah
it has to be ashrah honestly
wich amazing hype
So is 21st when we get our next reveal trailer ?
i guess so
but next week we better get kombat kasts for remaining characthers weve seen nothing off
Could be Dvorah
mhh i think by now the leaked rosters are viable, im voting for ashrah>limei>sindel
mara junots take on sindel was legendary so i dont think they are replacing her
Well theres 2 slots we don't know
We think it could be Sonya and Kano but it's possible it's not them
This is a cool Sektor pose
oh damn i just realized Smokes fatality is a MK3 klassic fatal
Oh when he drops a bomb in your mouth?
ye
Ashrah is definitely coming at comic con
Don’t forget it’s also rumored Megan Fox is in the game, most likely as Nitara so could get a double reveal at con
I'm hoping these two come for dlc
They won't
I’m not sure if a third DC guest will happen
who’s the second
Peacemaker
Then who’s the first
Technically killer croc, Harley Queen and BWL are also in the game but eeeh
The leak is real because it’s an Amazon listing lmao
WB Italy fucked up and listed the battle pass early.
Would they ever have another video game guest character?
Who could they collab with?
Omni Man
They could collab with assassins creed
I think a good pick for this game would be something like the Infamous series
Elden ring bosses lol
Trevor Philips but GTA V is dead.
Solid Snake would be a great design at least for MK
You mean Kombat Pack
I'd be mad as hell if they add a battle pass to MK
Dante Sparda
We need Dante or Vergil
Reminder
Dan Southworth played Kenshi
And Kenshi in MK1 has a spirit
You know who else has a spirit?
Vergil
I'm proposing a Vergil skin
At this point I'd rather guest skin than guest characters
Like guest characters are fine too but they can feature a lot more 'guests' with skins
she also voiced Sindel
so its not a guarantee its Ashrah
also this is fake
Colin is not a noteworthy source and Boon already deconfirmed it
you guys think Ashrah will keep her white outfit and hat?
Was sonya in the roster rumors?
no
Jax never was either
Sonya and Kano are still likely though
they keep calling kameo sonya and kano as "Kameo Sonya" and "Kameo Kano" while just calling Jax as Jax
implying those 2 are playable
While Scorpion and Sub-Zero have their MK11 skins (because that's Kuai Liang and their wearing masks).
Kung Lao has like a whole different face model and that will probably carry over
If Kano was in the base roster, they'd just use the face they already use because that would just be clashing
Tbh Kung Lao, Liu Kang, Jax, Kuai Liang all look about the same face model to me
Liu Kang's face model is entirely different
I'm a Sonic fan, so I look into heavy details about shape language, design and shit
They look nothing alike, Liu Kang has entirely different features, face structure etc
They don't look 100% like their mk11 faces, but since they look about 80% the same I'm assuming it's the same, unless nrs goes to find someone that's 80% the same for no reasons lol
Liu Kang face model actors are two entirely different peoplelmao
I can't post any images because I made a new account and didn't grind out for roles lol
But it's pretty apparant
Time to pull out my tumblr shitpost lol:
The biggest difference is Liu Kang's expression in mk11 is mostly like this 😠 while in mk1 he stops furrowing his brows that much
Also mk1 Kung Lao actually looks more like his irl face model than mk11 Kung Lao
I'd say Liu Kang still looks pretty different compared to his actual actor though
Kung Lao is pretty weird though
But Jax, Kano look really like the MK11 with barely any edits
Sonya looks different, but her eyebrows are weirdly similar
But I need to look into the "Kameo Sonya" claim though
I don't remember that
I honestly don't mind if we go without Sonya and Kano
As long as they keep Jade's face model I'll be happy
same
Or I'll be sad
Side note I really hate how those tight-fitting hoods look and I'm glad the ninjas ditched it for mk1
Like this is how I imagine the new timeline is gonna go:
M1K: Gathering warriors
2M2K: Start Of The Tournament
M3K: Shao Kahn's forced invasion and possibly Shinnok's appearance
I still hope there is hood skins though
Ofc skins are good because different people have different preferences
Honestly this might be unpopular, but I always thought Scorpion looked weird with a bigger MK1 looking hood in MKX and MK11
He has that manbun in mk11 and I think it's good
Am I cooking
I always thought that these fit the designs more:
Scorpion -> more fitted hood like in MK9/his young Scorpion skin
Bi-Han -> bigger MK1 (1991) type hood
Kuai Liang -> hoodless + mask (MK1 2023/MKX revenant)
But I might just be weird lol
You're not weird I see a lot of people using that combo (or similar) as skins in mk11
But I prefer manbuns over everything, if not then loose hood
Like the one thing about MK1, is that somewhat like the matching skins, but I hope for alternates that give them more unique aspects
I wonder if their Kameo skins will be able to be toggled, but I don't think so because of them just straight up using MK11 Klassic skins
This Pic go hard
Ikr. Also I like how Bi Han's outfit is slightly more ornate than the others
Soot Naibob
ngl
i dont see mk11 Jax in that face
See that's the thing though. Some people see it and some people don't and at this point we're wondering who's the crazy one right
i mean i think its just they want to see it so they do
but like they really arent that similar
Here's the thing, they don't have to be 100% similar because it's a different game and they might make new models and etc
But chances are they referenced the same face models
maybe its the angle
Because the alternative is to find some guy who looks 80% the same as the last guy, which is kinda unlikely lol
but the skin tone, lips, stache, hair, and Nose are different
now hair and skin tone can be easily changed but idk so much is different that i think its probably the same modeler but not the same model
The eyebrows and the eyes are the same. Nose and lips maybe it's angle difference
The exact shade of skin tone is dependent on lighting, and the stache/hair are changeable
either way Jax is def not playable
but tbh im now leaning towards maybe not Sonya and Kano either
I do hope we get Noob as a kameo
But it's kind of crazy how so much of the slots have been filled up
We havent seen a single gun yet
the only possibility would be stryker’s projectile
But it could just be a grenade instead
Also notice how the lin kuei trailer started with a “possible m17+” rating
Do they have any hope to lower it
Or they cant really confirm by themselves?
I have a theory
Yk how there are “story mode kameos”
While I think Goro will still be in the kameo roster, I think the reason he looks different is because he’ll also be a kameo in the story mode
The Kahn thing might have been started by Shao
true. cause Onaga was just The Dragon King
We successfully complained her way in so I dont see your point
I'll be honest. Scorpion's fighting stance looks like Skarlet from MK11
And the pre-edit Rain bio just calls her Empress Sindel
she was always planned it wasn't the complaints that got her in
Skarlet gays should get their shit together and start whining as well
We should have all women ninjas as well
We already have Mileena and Kitana. We need Jade next
we need Sareena more than anyone else
Considering she was in the last DLC, it's quite possible she wasn't the only one fighting for that roster position
they've said multiple times she was planned
Deffo but those gays are already rioting
Being planned doesn't equal being the only one being planned hun
im well aware
But in any case
and dont call me hun.
They aren't going to encourage the Mileena stans behavior by saying "you actually made us add her" even if it was true
Empress Sindel and her harem of Jerrod and Shao
I can everyone hun
Sheeva also calls her that
We stan a pussy-filled empress
Through whatever apendages she might require
Anyway, i think Jade has a chance
I don't think Skarlet does but I'd love to see her too
At this point I'd settle for dlc 😭
Ed is teasing a full male ninja roster on Twitter
I saw that
I just hope female ninjas can get some love too because they're all very popular
Even more so than some male ninjas
I think a design akin to MK11 Mileena "Kitana" skin for Skarlet would be super fitting
i hope the Kameo klassic outfits are available for the main fighters
Deffo
Chameleon for kameo fighter
Btw if the Johnny cage dlc thing is true, I hope his kameo fighter utilises his powers because those were removed from the new era
yeah i think kameos will serve as a way to incorporate classic moves from a characther
Just like how this server has character forums, the offical server also has them. However...
There’s an official server? get me out of here
I don't think supposed kameos would have bios... would they??
Don't think you can
Is rains powers innate ?
No

neither is Smoke
Ik
we know hes a mage from an imperial academy
so i think hes an edenian with inherit magic, but tremendous ability and skill at it dedicating himself to it
yeah you can
you can meterburn jax´s grab for extra damage
We should not
More females but we don't need more Edenians
I swear we have all but 1 and people still complain
theres only 3 edenaian female ninjas
Okay and I didn't just say female Edenians
We have every edenian except Jade on the roster
people just complain about jade and mileena
kitana will likely be in every single game
Give me Sareena not Skarlet and Jade again
wait is mileena, outworldian, netherrealmer and edenian
cus tarkatans are netherrealm/outworld half-breed and she has kitana's genes
oh yh in mk1 shes edenian
Wouldn't you just be where ever you were born
Idk lol cross realm stuff is weird
Idk it just feels like people want the same roster every game
Then complain the rosters are boring lol
fr
Like I know some people don't want 3d era and think they're lame
But then just don't play them, mk11 and 9 aren't going anywhere
If I had to guess though Jade probably wasn't played much in mk11
She was one of the least played characters in 9 and I didn't really see her much online
Jade and Kabal is half of the KL opps you see
I don't play KL tbf
But I never saw her
Kabal is high tier so that's not surprising
Competitive you'll always see the high tiers
Yes. You have been bothering Ed and the other staff to add her non stop
Idk why people are so proud of being shitty lol
You and me both
Like i didn't blow a casket when my fav character didn't make X lol
Characters can sit a game
do you think there will be kameo brutalities?
Sadly been deconfirmed
I wonder if they'll bring back animalities or harakiri
Maybe unpopular opinion but I hope they just do friendships (again?)
That would be cool
I wonder if they'll do comic characters for mk1 this time
X was horror and 11 was action
Need a cool Easter egg that says “noob smoke wins “ if you choose smoke and noob as kameo
Animalitys suck tho and Hara Kiri been deconfirmed
Could also have two that say “ Shaolin monks wins “ “deadly alliance wins “
Brutalities with the kameos and kharacters working in tandem would be really cool
