    Cassie and Kotal are definitely the coolest new characters so far

    Scorpion is the best overhauled old timer

    I'm a little bummed Sub-Zero seems to have been thrown under the bus a bit

    But Scorpion's reboot as a brooding anti-hero is

    well look, its not original, but they're doing it very well

    Sub-Zero got his time in MK9 where he, well they I guess, were one of the best and most surprising plotlines of the game

    That's true!

    Sub-Zero(s) were really good in all aspects in MK9

    it looks like the next issues will will fokus on SubZero

    and him holding up Hanzo's head before his frozen family was pretty badass

    Yeah and I also forgot there is a scene in one of the trailers where Cassie's team goes to the Lin Kuei for help and SZ appears to be in kommand

    My favorite dumb hope for this game
    Is that the reason Liu Kang hasn't been unveiled yet is because he has gone dark side and is the big villain of the game

    Elaboration oh my dumb hope
    Since the whole big plotline of the MKX comic revolves around evil daggers that possess people and make them go evil I wouldn't be surprised if one of them ends up staying that way or at least that corruption ends up being a major theme

    And Liu Kang has been NOTICABLY absent from, well, everything despite being the third most prominent character in the franchise. Like, not name dropped once in the comic, not revealed along with Kung Lao and Johnny and Sonya and Jax and all of his other allies

    Just total absence

    So either he's dead or they're hiding something such as EVIL WARLORD LIU KANG

    I doubt it
    He was just revealed as the big villain of the comic

    But it is a prequel and chances are his whole story will be taken care of by the time the game's story starts

    Yeah, khaosrealm is something that is decidedly unpopular with a lot of the fans so I doubt that makes it into the game.

    have you looked a the full reveal of whats in the kombat pack
    It includes a skin for lui kang. A classic skin. Implying he will look significantly different

    I don't know if he will be the big bad, but I have the feeling he will be a significant part of the game and will be a bad man

    Well
    Don't, like, Scorpion and Sub-Zero and whatnot also get Klassic Skins despite having their traditional looks in the game? I'm guessing Klassic means, like, MK1 attire

    ChincymcchillaChincymcchilla Registered User regular
    The klassic skins for the ninjas just means they take away all the stuff that makes them unique and have them have the very plain colored ninja garb like the early games

    But yeah I more meant it was
    confirmation he is in the game

    Oh I didn't even think about that

    Then
    yeah he's gotta be evil

    I don't think they'd have him just be the big bad's second in kommand

    I am expecting Liu Kang: War-Emperor of Outworld, causing a similar alliance to what is happening in the comic right now

    I doubt Kotal and his pals would have gotten so fleshed out if they were gonna just be the bad guys and that just leaves, what, Quan Chi? And he's definitely not gonna be the big bad

    Isn't
    Shinnok the big bad?
    At least the first one
    If the game is the size of MK9 there are bound to be multiple

    @DaMoonRulz if you do, I would suggest watching the story mode stuff for MK9.

    it would only take a few hours and give you everything you need as far as who are these people and what the hell is happening

    You fight him in the very first chapter, Johnny's chapter

    So probably not

    Shinok is in the game and probably one of the main antagonists but looked to be getting vanquished or something in that trailer

    Plus having it look like Shinok is the biggest villain and then SURPRISE LIU KANG MOTHERFUCKERS is a super MK story path

    I've said this before, but I agree with Blank
    There is a 100% chance Lui Kang is in and he is going to be a bad, bad man. If not the big bad of MKX, the big bad future of the franchise.

    And it's gonna be GREAT.

    TurambarTurambar Independent Registered User regular
    Ah okay, I was just going by the ending of MK9
    where Shinnok and Quan Chi were set up as the big bads
    and also the daggers in the komic

    though I expect him not to be the final big boss, it seems a bit off if he gets beaten already in the first chapter

    So this is kind of a weird thing but its something I like about MK so I'm going to run it down real quick

    Race Breakdown of Announced Human Characters in MKX:
    White: 4
    African American: 2
    Asian/Asian-inspired: 11

    I know its based on kung fu movies and all, but that's really, really cool to me

    Even the monster races have a lot of variation and aren't just "slightly grotesque human"

    edited March 2015
    MK9 spoilers
    They made a really, REALLY big deal about how Liu Kang was king shit of fuck you mountain in terms of badassdom, and even in the original timeline it took Quan-Chi AND Shang Tsung(if I'm remembering correctly) to actually kill him.

    It took his greatest nemises, AND THE DUDE WHO KILLED THE ENTIRE LIN QUI(sp), FOR FUNSIES to bring him down.

    Shinnok and Quan Chi(And Millena) are going to be the opening villians, for sure. But I'm pretty damn sure Lui Kang is going to be the "final chapters" villian.

    Well if it helps, in MK 9 everyone had two so

    My guess is at least that in this one, especially given that they blew up the number of finishers with brutalities

    Has any MK boss ever had a multiple version battle - like where a character changes to a more powerful form between round 1 and 2? Because:
    An evil Liu Kang would be insane that way - beat him once and he goes into full dragon transformation.

    Johnny has evolved as a person

    But he's still Johnny

    Like, having a daughter definitely has had an impact on him, but hasn't changed who he is
