Kano is rockin' quite a beard, there. He also looks a bit Indian to me, for some reason. Dude looks like Billy Mays:

Who himself looks like Perry Saturn in a wig.

New picture on Noob.com following the same pattern Adversary Betrayal Confront Defer [image] Note Baraka's arm Oh God... this game is going to be so corny. Also, who is that left of Shang Tsung? That's not Scorpion, and upon close inspection of Raiden's forearm armor, it ain't him either... though it's pretty similar. Really wouldn't make sense to be Shao Khan if he's a boss. A.) You're expecting this to make sense? B.) There's only three MK characters on the roster not immediately found in the image, Jax, Raiden, and Shao Khan. It's not Raiden's bracer according to you, and Jax has metal arms. It looks like Shao Khan's bracers, so we can probably guess it's him for now unless designs have been changed. No, it is definitely Raiden. Go to noob.com and compare the pictures. You can even see a bit of his hat. That's what I get for trusting AZ's Raiden assessment. Good call! Uhhh... hello? It could be Kung Lao. He's got a big crazy hat too.

Deathstroke's half shirt never seemed funny until that render. I can't put my finger on why. I think it's because the scale armor he's wearing looks an awful lot like fishnet stockings in that render. That really throws off the whole "Badass with a gun and knife" thing he had going for him. Predator wore a fishnet body suit and he seemed pretty badass. Let’s be honest for two whole seconds, The Predator could be wearing a two piece bikini outfit and it still be the most badass thing on two legs. Man I hope the Predator shows up in this game. It would make just as much sense as the rest of the story I'm sure!

Can you imagine a Shokan, Centaur, or "whatever the hell Baraka is" incubated alien?

..."whatever the hell Baraka is" incubated alien? Wikipedia and MK Deception say Baraka is a Tarkatan.

Man, I miss the way these guys used to look.

Man, I miss the way these guys used to look. Yeah I really miss.. how they... used... to.... BWAHAHAHAHA Sorry I cant keep that up

I'm liking what I'm seeing more and more with the new gameplay footage. I really hope that Kenshi and Kung Lao make the roster. I'm all about blind telekinetic swordsmen and my favorite Shaolin Odd Job. Also, it's nice to see that the fatalities are looking more unique and special for each character, rather than the kreate-your-own-kombo ones from the last game. On a side note, the discussion on the Joker's fatality, and Mark Hammil's portrayal in Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker, inspired me to track down the uncut movie. I just got around to watching it, and hot fucking damn was it awesome.

We already know the roster. :| So the roster a couple pages back has been confirmed then? Too bad, but certainly not a deal breaker. Seems a bit strange though to be missing Kung Lao. He's been a main character since MKII.

Was the idea well really that dry? Perhaps Boon was trying to appeal to the Creepy Militant Cyborg Zombie Leatherboy demographic...

It's not from MK v DC... but it is about the greatest screenshot ever. WANGALITY!

So that's why he has four arms.

Well well, so much for that "final roster." Quan Chi in the hizzous.

Unless he only appears in cutscenes.

Unless he only appears in cutscenes. With shitty grammar. But hey, it's Quan Chi, so what are you gonna do...correct him?

Well well, so much for that "final roster." Quan Chi in the hizzous. There are "secret" characters, he might be one of them.

Well, seeing Quan Chi certainly gives me hope again for Kung Lao and/or Kenshi making the roster.

Well, seeing Quan Chi certainly gives me hope again for Kung Lao and/or Kenshi making the roster. I hope we get Kung Lao and he slices people in half MK2 style (vertically).... thought that probably would never fly with DC. I'll be surprised to see someone get decapitated, here.
