E3 Trailer from the Sony Press Conference
3 new characters are shown, two new stages and enviroment based attacks and movements.
The Block button was confirmed to return All characters interact with each other before a battle X-Rays and Fatalities are back as usual and again a big step more violent than in MK9. Here in Germany, almost no website is showing trailers due to the brutal content. Seems this game will be banned in some regions again. Lots of new moves for Scorpion and Sub Zero are seen in the trailer Boon said they will show more at E3
------------------------------- 02.06.2014
Official Mortal Kombat X Reveal Teaser-Trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ci6lMQNLKZU&feature=youtu.be
Shows Scorpion and Sub Zero fighting, no story details etc were given, it seems the game is for the new platforms only.
--------------------------
Seems we will see the official reveal of the next Mortal Kombat game tomorrow, Ed Boon started a countdown 30 days ago with clues and guessing games which hinted at Kiefer Sutherland being involved (He was first mentioning it in February http://www.theverge.com/2014/2/22/5437188/kiefer-sutherland-says-hes-involved-in-a-new-mortal-kombat-game by himself) to cars with the MK-X Signs and a new Mortal Kombat Dragon Logo and the "Who's Next" Poster a few days ago
(http://i.imgur.com/Yblck1o.jpg)
Nothing beside that is known today, speculated is that MK X is a direct sequel of MK (2011) which could continue the story and mean it being a reboot of Mortal Kombat 4, maybe with parts of the story and characters of Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance and Deception as well since MK (2011) was a reboot of the first trilogy.
Will update this post as soon as the trailer arrives tomorrow. Can't wait!

If they continue to redesign characters like they did with more or less the whole roster in MK9 and make even designs like Stryker no longer hilarious looking compared with the Ninja and Outworld Warriors, I am damn sure the Netherrealm Studios team is able to develope updated versions of MK4 characters like Fujin,Jarek, Tanya and Kai and make them nice replacements or completely unique new characters.
+...we all know what it really means if someone in MK dies.

They're kinda all zombies owned by Quan Chi now. Unless you want a whole zombie cast to replace old Zombie Liu Kang, I'm having trouble seeing how they're going to make it work.
Heck, I'm still trying to work how Frost will work with her little cameos in 9, with Sub-Zero no longer being around.

Post by: Bad News GBK on June 01, 2014, 09:32:54 pm
MKDA and MKD got Gamecube versions as well, but if they did it how Boon thought, the new MK will really be for the new consoles only, this is from 2012:
"Boon told CVG that his Chicago studio has not yet begun work on the successor to the highly acclaimed 2011 Mortal Kombat reboot, and suggested that work on the game is earmarked for next generation systems.
"Just philosophically, I don't think we could take the approach of doing the same thing but adding new characters in our next Mortal Kombat game," he said.
"We definitely want to do something new with it, we feel we have to introduce something into the mix."
But Boon believes that there is less opportunity to innovate if a sequel is published on the same console; An indication that the next Mortal Kombat game will arrive on hardware as yet revealed by Microsoft and Sony.
"If you introduce another edition of your game on the same console, you cannot provide a radically different experience," Boon said.
"I'm sure, if we were to do a new Mortal Kombat game on next generation systems, I think we would be able to provide dramatically different experiences.""

All I know is, WB games won't pressure NRS to get the game done quick. They'll do the same they did with MK 2011. They're gonna give the Dev Team as much time as possible.
That's what made MK 2011 work and become successful, as for any guesses... I think a couple of the MK4 and onward chars are going to be salvaged... somewhat.

Since Killer Instinct is a thing again and Boon mentioned it multiple times recently, i guess that there could be a KI guest character in the x-bone version. Jago or Fulgore would be super fitting

i hope they put in a one time playable prologue, starting off from the last game where you fight as someone for the souls of the deceased and win, then bring everyone back, justifying the cast from the previous game being playable. after you win it and the game is on your hard drive, you don't have to do it anymore
that, or shinnok fucking wrecks shit down there and everyone's souls are freed from quan chi, deus(diablos) ex machina style, plus new characters
or, yeah mk4 and up characters

Title: Re: Mortal Kombat X
Post by: Saikoro on June 02, 2014, 01:41:32 am
At this point, I think it would be wise to either expand on the mythologies introduced by classic characters, like the whole correlation/relation of Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Smoke, Cyrax and Sektor (E.G. Lin Kuei). Maybe expand on the whole background of the White Lotus Society (Kung Lao and Liu Kang). Or perhaps, Kintaro's/Goro's/Sheeva's and Motaro's race (I say his because they are rival races; that art as Motaro and his extermination squad running in MK3's intro was amazing). Or perhaps more to do with the Black Dragon and their culture, because Kabal is fucking badass and Kano is equally as badass. I loved his outfit in part 3.
Reason I bring out fleshing out already established characters is because, lets be honest here, MK4's characters sucked and were completely uninspired. Rieko?? Shinnok?? Tanya?? Really!? I look at MK4 as an excuse to bring the franchise into 3D. Deadly Alliance was amazing, even if a little uninspired in a few respects. I'd chime a little more in MK:DA's new character entries and backstories, but my knowledge is stronger with the first three titles only.

Exactly. Johnny Cage died after MK2 and came back by Trilogy, death has about as much consequence in MK as it does in the Dragonball series.

Title: Re: Mortal Kombat X
Post by: Cazaki on June 02, 2014, 01:51:10 am
I'm mad that I barely remember MK9's story. I thought Raiden reversed all the deaths at the end but I guess I'm mistaken because I remember jack shit about how that went down.
EDIT: I think I'm thinking about how Raiden canonically retconned Armageddon at the beginning.
Title: Re: Mortal Kombat X
Post by: Roman55 on June 02, 2014, 01:55:54 am
I always assumed that MK9 was always meant to be just some alternate continuity where everything goes south, and that whatever game after it is back in the original timeline.
Course, it would be amusing to see Raiden try to re-retcon MK9 only to make things far worse.
Title: Re: Mortal Kombat X

Title: Re: Mortal Kombat X
Post by: SNT on June 02, 2014, 02:26:05 am
The whole thing's probably fresher in my mind than most (fucking Australia), so here's what I remember:
Quan Chi is working for Shinnok, and the whole thing was a master plan to play Earth and Outworld against each other so they're both weak when the Netherworld attacks. All the Earthrealm warriors bar Liu, Sonya and Cage are dead and possessed by Quan Chi. Sub Zero's soul for some reason still looks like a robot. Liu Kang and Shang Tsung are dead dead and belong to nobody. Sindel's a Quan Chi puppet, Shao Kahn himself is either dead dead or is a Quan Chi puppet. Outworld is presumably being run by Mileena in Kahn's absence. No one knows what's happened to Edenia, maybe Rain takes control.
So basically it's Raiden, Sonya and Cage versus Hell and everyone in it, with whoever's still alive in Outworld fighting for who knows who.
Title: Re: Mortal Kombat X
Post by: Nero D. on June 02, 2014, 02:34:20 am
liu kang died
Title: Re: Mortal Kombat X
Post by: Cazaki on June 02, 2014, 02:58:41 am
Thanks SNT. Yeah I forgot about the whole Netherrealm thing.
So the idea is that these new characters will more than likely team up with Raiden and the Z-Fighters against Shinnok and his army. Of course there will probably be new NEW characters thrown into the mix that will be key components of the netherrealm side and those will be the characters I'm looking most forward to. I'm also thinking most of the MK4 characters will get a MASSIVE re-design too and become practically unrecognizable.
As long as the actual combat system is also altered then we should be good to go. MK9 was a good game as a whole but I hated the metagame quite honestly. Playing it competitively just wasn't fun, and I know that the MK system isn't known for freeform combat but I think it needs to look into it.

If a KI character is included, I hope its Orchid, we could use a pretty woman in the game besides Smoke.
I would put my money on Fulgore over Orchid when it comes to KI representative just cause....
-He's among the more popular KI characters. When you think KI characters you're usually thinking Orchid or Fulgore. -He's the closest to KI's poster boy(Despite getting shafted and released as DLC for KI Season 1) -MK has a particular interesting habit of making fake rumors into reality(Ermac, Skarlet). I mention this because before MK9's launch, there was a particularly popular fake rumor that had Fulgore as the 360 exclusive character for MK9. -Fulgore always seemed to be one of the characters with the most over the top fatalities, which fits perfectly for MK.
All right, so not the best argument, but I just see Fulgore over any other character for KI representative.

Wouldn't rule out Jago, he is the main character; series pretty much revolves around he, Fulgore, and Orchid (even if the latter two is more popular). I do agree with the notion that they'd choose Fulgore over Orchid, don't see NRS or MS choosing a female as the guest character.
If a KI character is included, I hope its Orchid, we could use a pretty woman in the game besides Smoke.
NRS would wind up making her so looking pretty isn't happening, too "stuck in their way" of doing things. I actually hope the girls don't look overly beautiful. Decapitating pretty females would feel wrong.

I suppose hoping for Master Chief with an Energy Sword to match PlayStation's Kratos would be too much again?
Eh, it'd be 343's Chief anyways.
I hope if they do go with guest characters they get something as odd and unexpected as Freddy was. Really enjoyed playing as Krueger.

Worst music choice ever. I hate it.
Seems visual damage during a fight is back, if the fight in the teaser trailer is showing how the game itself is, I bet its MK9 + Injustice like Environment stuff. Sub Zero's face there looks a lot like Raiden in MK9 or?

It also looks like we can parry stuff? Or at least counter some attacks even after getting hit, although it's kinda hard to know how much of the trailer is meant to represent how the game will really play like.
I'm actually expecting for the block button to be replaced by a parry button or something else and let us block by holding back already.

Jeez, what's boon's obsession with killing sub-zero for fuck sake. I knew it was gonna happen as soon as I saw the stare down.
Music was atrocious too But more importantly I sincerely hope they fix the gameplay so it's not as broken as MK9.
Title: Re: Mortal Kombat X (Last update on 02.06.14)
Post by: Orie on June 02, 2014, 05:03:54 pm
So how many times has Scorpion killed Sub Zero?
Anyway, just to put my 2 cent, whole trailer is pretty decent (CGI trailer that I hope is in-game graphics), since it shows some stuff that might be in the game (The X-ray attack, probably the fighting system, and the Interactive weapons/stages that's lifted from 4, but it reminds me too much of Deception). Would like to see the gameplay trailer when E3 comes.. maybe.
Also, I'll admit.. music doesn't fit both the trailer and the fight whatsoever.

I'm willing to bet the reason why that song is even in the trailer is due to Warner Bros telling them to use it considering it's from an artist under their label.

Blocking with an actual button instead of holding back is much better in my opinion.
The trailer was awesome, I didn't mind the music. Scorpion and Sub-Zero look much better than they do in MK9. I hope to god that you can make your own character in this game.

Fueled by next-gen technology, Mortal Kombat X combines unparalleled, cinematic presentation with all new gameplay to deliver the most brutal Kombat experience ever. For the first time ever, Mortal Kombat X gives players the ability to choose from multiple variations of each character impacting both strategy and fighting style. And with a new fully-connected gameplay experience, players are launched into a persistent online contest where every fight matters in a global battle for supremacy.
Although not surprising in the least, this concerns me. Hopefully they don't go too far and compromises gameplay as a result. Multiple versions of characters sounds nice.

Blocking with a button means that crossups aren't possible, and that's pretty much a fundamental aspect of fighting games.
Anyway, the trailer was cool but it doesn't show me anything I don't think, I have no idea which is gameplay and which isn't. I noticed a few moves Scorpion does that aren't moves in MK9 like that flash kick looking move, but once again who knows what is gameplay and what's not. I already knew most people weren't going to like the music but since I listen to hip hop anyway it's not that big a deal to me. I liked the beat *shrugs*

Maybe...and that could be something pretty cool...every character can use different parts of the environment? Like Sub Zero being able to free something and use it to throw at the opponent and Scorpion being able to set something in flames, powerhouses like Jax being able to pick up heavy things while the more agile characters can use the environment for specific air moves /juggles and what not.
Basically a much bigger variation than in Injustice
Wonder why the made the game a cross generation title instead of being for the new platforms only as they previously wanted.

Coz there is still a big market for 360 and PS3, I for one am glad its coming to last gen
Lol at all those guys saying they passing on this just coz its cross gen, I mean is that so bad?
Liking the new character designs, I just hope that isn't the box art though
And sweet they bringing back Scorpion's spear to the face fatality from MK4
'Spear to the Face' wasn't in MK4... That was Deadly Alliance.
Anyway, I like what I see. The trailer was good (I don't know why everyone on the internet was bitching about the music choice. I mean, it wasn't that bad I thought).
They'll be showing this game off at E3 next week and hopefully there will be some more info coming down the road.

Because PS3 and 360 are still pretty popular. And just like when PS3 and 360 were released, vanilla Xbox and PS2 still had a lot of juice to have extracted from MS and Sony.
So, PS3 and 360 have at least 3 or 4 more years to have titles released on them. Not to mention PS4 and XBO are still in their test phases. *waits for PS4 slim* :V

Didn't Sub-Zero get turned into a fucking robot in the last game? Why the hell is he human again? Also, I might be standing alone here, but I like Scorpion's new costume design, it looks like the Netherrealm Studios logo outfit. As far as roster predictions, I'm going to say... everyone who didn't die in MK9, and pretty much everyone from MK4-Deception. Also I think Liu Kang is alive and they're bringing back Zombie Liu Kang (technically not a zombie, but Raiden left him really disfigured in the last game)

Traditionalist in me speaking, but I'm not feeling the environmental stuff.
As for the music... take Mortal Kombat and what it tries to present (Chinese Kung-fu or something). Take what today's hip-hop and what it's reputation is amongst the general public (unrefined music that speaks about drinking, bitches, drugs, etc). Giving the music a chance and not just quickly reacting, it doesn't sound as bad as I thought (and I don't have an issue with it being in the game in general). Still don't like it being the lead music piece for revealing a new Mortal Kombat; music sounds like borderline club-material and Wiz Khalifa isn't an imposingly edgy lyricist.
Making something out of nothing maybe, hopefully it's a one time thing and not what they're trying to go for thematically; it'd ruin the atmosphere of MK.

Looks like MK's really going back to its roots. Back when everything was all dark and gritty, unlike the previous 2 games which felt sleepy, depressing and boring as shit.
But they need to take out that x-ray part, shit's gross lol
It makes total sense that they'd use such music in this trailer.
Mortal Kombat has never quite been embraced by the hardcore fighting game community, and seeing as the majority of it consists of people of the more..uhh..urban persuasion, why the fuck not?
Thanks to that track we now have millions of people around the world going YEAH DAWG THATS MY SHIT. MORTAL KOMBAT X FOR EVO BRAH!!

Anyway, if there's one thing about MK9 that did disappoint, lack of new characters (understandable considering what they went for). Hopefully there's a healthy amount. MK4 characters would be cool too, a a better game would do them justice.

It seems as if some elements of Injustice will be at play here or at least I gather that much. it's pretty much looking like a mash up between MK9 and Injustice from the tweets Ed Boon himself tweeted. he said there'd be interactive weapons. So the tree branch Subby smacked Scorpion with might be a gameplay element unique to every character. We'll see what Mr.Boon has for us at E3..one thing is for sure...this will be one of my top tier games on my list when I get a PS4

From the youtube comments to even here so much hate on the music. Honestly if you listen to the lyrics is fits the trailer rather well and the drop right before the real action of the trailer also fits perfect. Sure it's not the Mortal Kombat that we're all used to but I doubt that's what Ed Boon was going for in the first place. I guess people are just too used to the usual outlandish or metal tracks that come with an MK game. That's fine, everyone has their own opinions and I can respect that but I for one think the music is perfectly fine. Will we see it in the actual game? I highly doubt it, maybe in the ending credits to the story mode some where but that's it.
As for characters, I really just hope that they don't make Kenshi a fucking zoning character again. I hated his play style in MK 9 so I hardly touched him.

Idk.. As good as the music is (and honestly, it's actually growing in me rather quick), I just thought it doesn't fit the mood of what this trailer is (which is pretty much Sub Zero and Scorpion fighting to the death.. Again).
Though for how it's used, it is quite nice for how they use it (the "buildup" being the intro part, "Fight!" being when the music kicks in, and the part where Scorpion got kick to a tree is where the vocals came in).
...Actually, looking back at the trailer, I noticed that Sub Zero's mask broke off after Scorpion slammed him to the ground. As obvious as that is, something tells me that we're going to see some kind of "armor damage" in-game (in akin to.. I guess Soul Calibur). However, it may just be me over-speculating things.

Human Sektor is playable in MK9... As an Alt. Costume for Sektor (Could be obtained by either beating arcade mode, or a section of Story mode where you have to play as Sektor.. I think).

I love how Scorpion looks there and how the graphic is ultra realistic, however that is very huge distant between combatants in the beginning of the round, dunno if the run is auto executed as the round starts, otherwise it would take a long time to get into fighting distance if both players are careful or none take initiative to close the distance, or probably get into prolonged projectiles battle.

MK9 did that. As a character loses health and gets hit mid-battle, armor and clothing would be damaged and torn. Then chunks of flesh and eyeballs would be lost and bones would be exposed.

They could just put in a dash like most 3D fighters by either double tapping then holding the stick forward or a triple tap. Just depends on how Boon wants it to be.

yeah sure about the dash/ run, what I meant who would run wild into the opponent by the start of the round like in the demo where both players ran into each other and then clashed, so I guess if that was actual gameplay, probably the run was mandatory, like auto executed for both parties at the beginning of the round, where we can choose to clash with what moves to get a first hit.

That's a possibility, but I think it'll be more universal than that.
In the trailer, while Scorpion had the sword at his hip, he never made use of it, but extensively abused joint-snapping counters, the X-Ray attack and the neck-snapping OTG harpoon at the end. At the same time, Sub Zero avoided the bone breaking and focused on stage interactions, swinging from the trees, pulling weapons from the environment. I'm tipping that's indicative of a Counter/Bonebreaker version, and a Stage Interactor/Weapon User version, or something along those lines.

yeah.. more universal..probably just different weapons with different range+ damage + weapon specific moves on each costumes, I don't think they do each costume into independent characters, probably just different in damage vs speed vs ease in comboability when using that weapons like Soul Edge probably that.

At first I was like "....nah" but based in the stage interaction systems they built for Injustice, a higher level if stage interaction is likely. Might as well leverage the new tech and gameplay they developed for their latest entry in the franchise. Just makes good sense.

First things first: Quan Chi should not have all those souls from Earthrealm warriors. Simply put, They are from Earthrealm, and thus Shao Kahn had no domain over them, so he couldn't use them on his bargain with Quan Chi. Either that was just Quan Chi playing mind games with Raiden, or one big ass-pull.
Either way, I think the story of this new game will involve Shinnok starting his invasion, then Raiden gets desperate and goes on a quest to revive all fallen warriors, then Liu Kang steps in and decides to take over Raiden's place (which would fit with his arcade mode ending), then things get rough.

They've done that with most of their games without counting the "everybody vs everybody" ones that brought back the entire roster up to that point (Basically Trilogy and Armageddon).
The thing is that this kind of stuff no longer happens in fighting games, much less in games where the devs try to create a more legit competitive fighting game (MK9 is probably the most legit fighting game in the entire franchise and the only one a serious FG tournament would hold while the others are more "for fun", even back when they were released). Ditching most of your cast in a FG sequel is something more of the 90's than nowadays.

I wish x-ray moves against opponent would cripple them temporarily with a cooldown bar, probably changing their stance or some other disadvantage (probably opening a window for a "finish him" move attempt during the cooldown period after the oppenent is crippled/ affected by a successfully performed x-ray) although attempting a finished move on crippled opponent still come with a risk since it can be avoided and punished, but it would at least giving a chance to turn the tide instantly, something like GG destroy move. just my own thought, so the finish him move can be more useful.

Since they have more freedoms with Next-Gen, I think the X-Bone will probably get one too. Either a KI character, or the protagonist from the new Deadrising game. Eh maybe even Master Chief, but for some reason I really doubt it. I was also thinking about the possibility of the Injustice cast making an appearance via some type of roster import.

I just pre-ordered my copy of MKX at Gamestop, and they gave me this poster to go with it. http://i.imgur.com/ivdLACf.jp Eh... cool, but it looks a little bland. Fuck it at least it'll look cool next to my Batman posters.
Oh crap, I'm sorry for this post I didn't even realize the first post contained the poster image :/

I don't understand why Boon hates Drahmin so much, he's a ton more interesting than the other throw-away DA/Deception characters. :( Hopefully we get Nitara though. There needs to be more vampire pirates in video games.

I feel like maybe some of the characters have potential though. Only exceptions are the throw away characters like meat and mokap. Guys like dhairu (or however you spell it) darius, hsu hao even mavado are pretty bland. Maybe if they were givin a redesign and new moves that'll make them more interesting would help. I like drahmin though lol he's a funny character and he has potential too, just needs a more serious moveset cuz I dont think throwing a ball of flies at someone hurts a lot lmao. Nobody has given their opinion on molach though. The boss of deadly alliance... eh idk what to say about him I felt he was made so they could introduce some new monster boss or some shit

Boon just mentioned that MKX is still running on their highly customized Unreal 3 engine, they started using that back in 2007 when they developed Mortal Kombat vs DC and he mentioned it again that they will show two completely new Mk characters on e3

Shujinko needs some original special moves, if they give him that, them he will be a great character, he's design is actually very good, I always saw him as one of these "done alot of bad things, now doing good things to make it up" characters who just jumps in the battle and beats up everyone

I think some characters should re-appear in the game but not in the story. That way they are able to be a part of the game but don't mess with the story. Also I'm hoping Onaga never makes it into another MK, I don't like him that much, I would rather them make a new villain entirely than bring him back

She isn't used as much in-game, but the trailers and promo art always seem to favour her. Even in Armageddon, while they favoured all the new characters returning in their trailers, the opening cinematic shows a lot more of Mileena than many others.

Kitana was the female representative of MKvDC (along with Sonya), I based it off that. Also, the good side often gets more press than the evil counterpart.
I believe it's the whole "mouth" thing. I won't deny that Mileena's the more memorable of the two.
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
Frequenting one of "those websites" I saw a advertising gif of Mileena performing oral lmao, more than I can say for sister.
Anyway the two females having such a strong influence in the MK franchise, neither will be left out. Helps that they're practically identical.

I think Scorpion and Sub-Zero have replaced Liu Kang as MK's 'shoto'. They turned Liu into a fucking zombie once, and he was killed in the most uneventful way in Mortal Kombat (2011). He's a total geek; they don't care about him anymore.

Bleh at the new characters, exactly why they shouldn't mindlessly replace the classics. It's like I was watching two different games.
What in bloody hell is a Disney looking bug girl and an reject pirate prisoner with a kid (a kid, really) doing in the same game as with trained-to-kill Chinese kung-fu ninjas (I know that's wrong but Mortal Kombat).
At least the gameplay looked like Mortal Kombat (whether that's a good or bad thing remains to be seen).
Edit: Giving a second look, the big guy design isn't bad (still has nothing on the likes of Baraka, Kabal, & Kano) but it's completely ruined by a kid who has no business being in MK.

Eh... I'm trying to go in with an open mind, but Jesus, I'm really not feeling those two new characters. I wonder what it'll look like when you perform a fatality on that little girl character. I don't expect them to blatantly kill a fucking kid in the game, but I wonder how it'll work on that big dude since he's a bigger character like Moloch from Deadly Alliance. (Maybe special animations for each character?) Eh, I guess we'll find out later.
The fatalities that they teased at the end looked 100x more gorier than the MK9 fatalities which really excites me. (Maybe I'm a sick boy... o_o)
Hey just out of curiosity (since I'm on my phone at the moment) did anybody notice any little background easter eggs in those two stages they showcased in that trailer?

This is why I'm excited about the new characters. For one you don't know if they are REPLACING the classics anyway, for all we know, the cast from the previous game as well as some returning characters will all be present. Two, they breathe new life into the MK series, you should want characters that will bring you elements that MK doesn't generally has, adds variety.
I'm a fan of everything I saw in that trailer

Seriously I don't think they're bad designs, they just don't look like "Kombatants" (well the two I have an issue with anyway). If this is more a sign of NRS going in a different thematic direction and they pull it off, more power to them. It's all first impression, but just one that gave me a mixed reaction.
Replacing the kid with a demon-gremlin thing (like Gen-an Shiranui) (http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080704190023/snk/images/3/3c/Genan-sstenka.png) would've made a better impression imo.

Eh... looks cooler than that bug lady. (Injustice Raven with a palette change, lol sorry but I had to XD)

Another thing is that they seem to be bringing back weapons for everyone but in a different way. Almost every character shown has something that can be used as a weapon, like the big guy uses the little guy, bug lady uses wings, scorp uses sword, etc. so that might be what they were talking about when they said different variations of characters

There'd be about a 3-in-4 chance it'd get intercepted by customs and the recipient would get fined. Once they hear a game is banned most retailers won't even bother trying to ship it, just refund the money. If it got through the game would work fine, though.

It was, but MK9 ended up being the last straw, and not long after that the whole system got revamped to actually have an adults-only rating. When the MK9 Complete Edition released, we got that a few months later.
We might have an adults-only games rating, but it's still softer than most countries'; all that stuff at the end of the trailer is going to get MKX in trouble here.

That bug lady looks pretty cool. I like the voice.
The huge dude would have been awesome if the stupid ass kid wasn't there. I don't really understand how the fatalities are going to go. But I have the idea their obviously probably going to just let the kid stand to the side but that would be kind of stupid.

Honestly, even the X-Rays look a hell lot more brutal, I simply cannot wait to see more because it's funny at the same time. Scorpion throwing a Fireball of sorts into Sub's chest to reveal his heart and then give him the slice n' dice? I actually laughed to how bizarre it is!

This makes me wonder how large the roster will be. Seeing as how there are already 5 characters confirmed, 3 being new, the roster would have to be fairly large to fit majority of the veteran fighters.
Or maybe just DLC.

That trailer is AWESOME! We got here at least THREE new characters! YES! Just look: That ladybug with yellow skin, that perfect duo of big guy and small girl that MAYBE is not even a kid, and an Ancient Ogre faker!
That duo works perfectly, the big guy slams her gi... errmmmm, HIS girl into the ladybug, and the girl actually USES it! He throws the girl at the ladybug, so she can harass her! He can even swing that girl around for a slash fest! And, man, i LOVE that floor slam from the big guy in his X-Ray!

Around 18 minute mark they show the game.
I'm VERY excited. Capcom better step their game up
Yeah Cassie Cage is Johnny and Sonya's daughter. The game goes up to 25 years past MK9's story making this the SF3 of MK. I could see them selling returning cast members that didn't make it as DLC. In fact, I'm expecting it
EDIT: Looking at that select screen I see no Raiden. I have a feeling that Fujin is going to be in this

So let's break it down.
Enhanced moves, Breakers and X-Rays all back.
Scorpion Ninjutsu - adds attacks with the dual swords Hellfire - adds Hell Ball, Demon Fire and Flame Aura Inferno - allows him to summon a Demonic Minion (projectile divekick, back projectile) Universals - Leg Crab, Harpoon, Decoy Punch, new Psycho Crusher X-Ray
D'vorah Swarm Queen - adds Vortex Swarm (ranged trap attack) and Wasp Grenade (fireball) Brood Mother - adds Krawler and Bug Blast ??? Universals - air throw, some Chun Li Millia Rage multi stab.
The game goes up to 25 years past MK9's story making this the SF3 of MK.
God damn it, I hate when games do this. Every time this happens my main is the one that gets the shaft.

'tis why you pick up several characters haha. I'm thinking that characters that get replaced will have another character in place that will be the equivalent of who they once were, like how Cassie Cage is going a have a mix of both Johnny and Sonya's fighting style.
also, if this variating moveset thing is in place, there's a chance that one moveset could favor Johnny and she becomes more like a clone of him, and vice versa.

Well, the good news is that the game happens in the span of 25 years, it doesn't just skip straight to 25 years later so there's a high chance that most of the cast will come back. I mean, badass older Cage would be fantastic, I wouldn't mind.

Well, Sonya and Cage were the only two who survived the whole onslaught. Makes sense they'd get together.
Timeskip huh? Now the shift makes sense. At least they said something now and didn't wait too long (although the Cassie Cage reveal would've gave it away). Still not feeling the new characters but at least there's reason behind their appearence.

It's right there in the stream. Ed Boon says that the game takes place DURING the 25 years after MK9's ending. You play through the entire span of time, not just skip straight to 25 years later. This is why I believe that many character won't be old enough to not to be able to come back, because you'll have characters from different eras in the same game.

This makes me wonder if we will ever see character story specific finishing moves.
Like Scorpion and Sub Zero having third finishers which are fatalities where they interact with each other (like in the fight intros) a short time before that specific finishing move. "Finally I Have My Revenge, Lin Kuei!" "You will not escape the Netherrealm again, Spectre!" some silly lines like that followed by fatalities they do only on that one character. This could make a fatality possible where Ferra gets killed together with Torr by a rival of those two

I was actually hoping Bi Han (hear me out) - Noob Saibot seemed to share the same fate as Scorpion in Deadly Alliance, with the Oni throwing him into the Soulnado where he was (somewhat) cleansed. But yeah, the "I tire of maintaining our innocence" line seems to throw that away, unless it's Bi Han talking about the Lin Kuei in general, or himself and his brother. But yeah, most likely it's a new Sub Zero, which kinda sucks IMO.

Selecting the different version of the character has some costume changes. For instance Hellfire Scorpion has his arms slightly on fire, Dual Katana has him with the katanas on his back, Icebreaker Sub Zero has the white mask, Cryomancer Sub Zero has the iced up arms, etc
Cassie Cage variations Brawler - Adds Air Power Slam and Takedown Hollywood - Air Akimbo and Nut Kracker Spec Ops - Adds Air Assault and the American Way

Slightly changing the costume for each different mode sounds really neat, small details like those are very simple but bring lots of attention to detail and effectively increase the amount of "playable" characters, props to NRS.
It seems like this game is MK's answer to SFIII (It even has a similar mechanic to the Super Art selection, except this affects special moves)

I like what I've seen from Cassie so far, I'm glad they didn't completely overly-sexualize her design (no matter what my boner says). I think the reason people (like DatKofGuy) don't find Cassie's face "appealing", is because she kind of has Johnny's facial features when you really look closely.

Its not that I don't find it appealing, its just that in the screenshots she looked a lot more feminine to me. But then again she is Sonya's daughter...

Lol I predicted that for Cassie her variations would make her more like Johnny/Sonya. And I hear that the char select screen MK comes up with are always fakes so don't look into them. I think Cassie's face is good, every woman in every game doesn't need to be some sort of fanservice goddess.
Kotal Khan is a character unlike anything we've seen from MK. Seems like the Sun God variation uses command grabs to build up power and he uses a move to boost his damage output to RIDICULOUS levels. Looked like he did a jump kick and it did like 20% health. Quite interesting.

Cassie's fatality looks pretty much the "least" gruesome of them, since the body is not mutilated, but I'll give points for using the chewing gum as a dark humorous finish.

Boon's apparently said this game will have the most new characters in any Mortal Kombat game (current record is Deadly Alliance with 11), so if the current select screen is any judge we can expect another 10 returning characters at most, in addition to Scorpion and Sub Zero.

Let's see...
(http://i.imgur.com/sNO3KCc.jpg)
Maybe Mileena (upper second-to-last?), Reptile and Sheeva could be back for the villains, they're the ones that don't age or whatever. Maybe Sektor and/or Cyrax as well (perhaps the silhouette on the lower-left or the weird one below D'Vorah?). Lower right strikes me as Quan Chi.
As for the good guys, maybe Ermac (far-left silhouette, hopefully they turned him good or do so in this storyline, because I think he has the potential to be the next Liu Kang calibre warrior), Fujin and/or Raiden (though I'm not seeing any Raiden-like silhouette in the select screen), Johnny Cage (the silhouettes below the big dude and second-from-lower-left look like him a bit), and... yeah that's where I'll stop guessing. :P Maybe Kai's in there somewhere. From there on, if they don't wanna go past MK4, they're gonna have to bring a couple of good guys back.

That Rorschach silhouette under kotal khan is seriously throwing me off. Maybe he's in as a guest character? Maybe it's a tease? He would actually fit nicely seeing as how he was violent and over the top brutal in watchmen. Pretty hard to try and make guesses as to who the silhouettes represent since people most likely are gonna get reskins. The one under D'vorah is hard as hell to make out but I don't really think it resembles one of the cyborgs. Looks more like a female like it could be jade or kitana. But I could be wrong.

Yeah you're right, that one does look female, I just focused on the thin hairs potentially being outer cables or something. But I am almost 100% certain about Quan Chi and Ermac. I mean, just look at them.

also i think i see ermac in one of those silhouettes and maybe johnny cage

Idk he may have the same last name as shao khan, but he seems to be some kind of sun god. Maybe he's an elder god? Shit idk. I feel like with fujin they'll go with his alt costume look from Armageddon with the long white hair and cape. Looks a lot cooler and more "elder godly" to me. This got me thinkin though; this'll be the first mortal kombat with key characters kids being in. Won't it be awkward as fuck to do a fatality on your parent/kid lmfao.

--; how will this not feel like a MK game? The game plays JUST like Mortal Kombat 9. And as we saw from Cassie, characters who might not be present will be present in spirit because moves will be passed down. Not to mention that we don't know for certain how many returning characters we will actually get.
I think this will end up more like SF4 rather than SF3 though at the end of the day because I have a feeling that only the VERY IRRELEVANT characters won't show up, like Sheeva or something. This is also a next gen title, so who knows if they'll up the ante on the amount of characters we'll receive.

I really don't understand this way of thinking, If you are afraid of changes and just want to play with the same characters from many years ago, what is the point of waiting for a new sequel? better keep playing the old games if you don't want cast changes. Personally I will be glad if they bring an almost totally new cast of characters just like street fighter, fatal fury and power instinct did it with their new generation titles, sure I will miss Mileena and Cage but I will not be complaining for that because NRS is adding very interesting characters this time.

Devorah makes me think DC/Injustice, Ferra/torr makes me think killer Instinct, Kotal Kahn makes me think Ogre/Tekken, Cassie is the Mel Masters of Mortal Kombat being the daughter of Johnny Cage and Sonya Blade.
I'm not saying it won't feel like Mortal Kombat but at the same time I hope they don't change the formula too much. it's like having a perfect drawing only to draw over it just to add more. Also I'm not downing the game at all it looks badass and I'll probably end up messing around with ferra/Torr. torr seems like he'd be an oni like Moloch or drahmin.

The DC characters from injustice looked more like NRS creations than DC characters and Cassie being Mel just because is related to other characters? that's a weird point of view, Mel is a male, is a around 8 to 12 years old and never has been playable, really I don't see how Cassie would be the Mel from mortal Kombat. I don't see how is bad they have influence from other successful fighting games when it comes to characters design(Still I don't know why do you feel that I don´t remember a character remotely similar to Ferra/Torr in killer Instinct, and Kothan well also looks a little bit like shao kahn), to be honest since the first 3D MK I feel the characters design from the series where kinda bad, in MK9 they improved a lot and it seems that they are just getting better for this game .

Torr seems like something you'd see in Killer Instinct is all. you rarely see any regular creatures like that except for boss characters or sub-bosses. He's just an off-the wall design for a character in MK. unorthodox. I'm not complaining about it since the Realms of MK have never truly been explored and it's kind of interesting to see some new faces.

They never said if she's a child or not, everyone's assuming that she's a child. She could be an adult for all we know. It's definitely possible.

to me Torr seems like Sub-Boss/Boss material with how big he is. as a regular fighter he's unorthodox for the same reason you've said. the cast is primarily human/humanoid with a four armed Shokan boss or a Centaur Sub-Boss. Torr himself might be some kind of Oni like Moloch who is being controlled by Ferra.
I'm not saying he doesn't fit entirely I'm just saying a design like him is unorthodox for a Mortal Kombat character. I said Killer Instinct because of creature designs being non-human. you have Riptor, Glacius, Eyedol,

Ed Boon answering a lot of common questions for an interview with TRMK (http://www.trmk.org/features/interview_mortal_kombat_x_ed_boon_e3_2014/).
Quote
TRMK: What can you tell us about the storyline at this point?
Ed Boon: The timeline for Mortal Kombat itself skews, it does a Back to the Future thing. This story is not just this linear continuation of the story. There is a "When last we left off" part after Mortal Kombat (2011). Then there are periods that are very close those events at five years after. Then ten years, fifteen years and then twenty five years. It covers the span of time, and it's not told linearly where it jumps forward and backwards in time. It's told in a very interesting perspective. To me one of the more interesting parts of it is when you are in the future and you see these characters that you have known aged, maturing and stuff like that.
Quote
TRMK: Are you targeting development on next generation consoles or are you mostly concerned about keeping cross generational compatibility?
Ed Boon: NetherRealm is only doing the PS4 and Xbox One Versions. We may be doing the PC version as well, but the consoles are the priority. While we may be involved in the solution we will not be doing the implementation of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions.
Quote
TRMK: Fans expect this game to follow the storyline of MK4 and beyond, but it looks like you are taking the story in another direction. Will fans see some familiar faces from the series they haven’t seen yet in MK9?
Ed Boon: You will definitely see a Mortal Kombat 4 character, I believe that's the first time I've said that. You will also see some of the later game's fighters. You'll also see cameo's in the story mode. Some really fun ones.
Quote
TRMK: Will you have to unlock Finishing Moves in a Krypt again like the last game? Like the Babalities for instance.
Ed Boon: Well the Fatalities won't. There will be a new "ality" that we can't talk about, but I'll tell you when we stop the recording, and there is a chance that those will require you to unlock them.

I've been thinking on who would be the final boss as it must be someone making a surprise return the people won't be expecting.
I'm throwing a wild guess and say it'll might be Dark Khan from MKvsDC with a different origin story/name with a revamped design and he's almost obscure enough that most people may not see it coming.
Just my guess.

Well to be honest, that Centaur could've just been a Centaur. Let's not forget there's an entire race of those mother fuckers. But, I suppose the same can be said for the one In Raiden's vision, so we really don't know for sure whether or not he's alive. (I don't think they've mentioned his name at all yet.)

Quote
Ultimately, as with nearly every character of the franchise, Motaro is killed at the end of Armageddon. How or by whom is not known. In the alternate timeline, he assumes much of the same role as he did before, leading the extermination squads of Shao Kahn into Earthrealm. However, this time, he is killed by Raiden, who foresaw that Motaro would kill Johnny Cage. Mileena later brings Motaro's body back to Shao Kahn. Motaro is then replaced in command by Sindel.

They... kinda got lazy there, in a nutshell. If you remember that "kreate-your-fatality" system they had going on in Armageddon, they made Motaro 2-legged so that they wouldn't have to endure a headache by creating special animations for him with 4 legs, both receiving and performing every single fatality move. Making him a biped was just easier.

I know... it's fucking mind-boggling at this point. "Next"-gen just doesn't keep up with the PC like the previous consoles did (I'm truly sorry if I sound like an elitist), so why they're putting it at a side as a "maybe" just confuses me.

Eh, a ruler doesn't always have to dress like a rich douchebag or try hard tough guy. Boon probably knows that and if ermac is ruler of outworld or even edenia, then boon was going for something original on how an emperor looks. Ermac may not have the emperor attire shao Kahn does, but he looks intimidating non the less. Your right about one thing though, he does resemble scarecrow a little

So Boon says on Polygon that Mortal Kombat X will have a roster at least as big as the last Mortal Kombat. That's at least four more characters than the current build's select screen implies. Now, new characters aren't necessarily capped at 12, but that's still gotta mean a slightly better chance of getting your favourite returning character, right?

That story turned out just to be an urban legend (http://www.donotlink.com/lsh) (yeah I know Polygon, but it's relevant). Daniel was already gone from Midway when he did the Bloodstorm ad. The real reason he left was due to a lawsuit over royalties. Carlos never got sacked from the company, but he didn't appear in MK3 as a penalty due to his involvement with Tattoo Assassins.

The new characters they've shown so far with the exception of Cassie & K. Kahn are very mmo-ish. D'Vorah seems like a druid, and That big dude who's name escapes me at the moment looks like an ogre-ish tank type of character. Also the stages they've shown in the trailers look like something out of an rpg. I'm in no way hating on any of those aspects, that's just what they remind of.

remember that every fighter in Mortal Kombat fights to kill. The good guys even kill if they need to. Akuma fights to the death as well. his brutality knows no limits when fighting to the death. Just because he doesn't look to fight just anyone doesn't mean he wouldn't split a few heads open to find that one who could possibly take him down.
from what I've heard through the mythos he doesn't even fight anyone unless they are willing to put their all into the fight and are 100% healthy. He fought Gen but realized he was sick and dying so he refused the fight or something like that.

When did that ever happen?
Gouken , he killed him, he got better ( martial artist staple) Goutetsu ryu in ryu final, pretty much any canon fight has him trying to kill the opponent, its the whole thing.
It would only be a series of fights where he wouldnt hold back if he could, he is not the weirdest character to have in a mk, he even had his whole fatality thing with shungokusatsu

Its always murder. The guy that goes "destruction" "Death..." obsessed with finding someone to fight to the death with him and trying to push his pseudo kid into becoming like him so he can get some worthy kills out of it is not a brave honoured figure, he is a murderer with high standarts. He would be Hannibal going " Oh this person reads bad dc comics, I cant eat this trash!"
He finishes his fights with lethal force, he is less of a hero figure than subzero, who at least was doing it to avenge his brother.

exactly. with someone like Scorpion or Shao Kahn challenging him who's to say some head wouldn't roll? He usually doesn't kill anyone who isn't willing to fight with everything they have which includes evil powers. After all the Satsui no Hado literally means "The Killing Intent" and Shun Goku Satsu means "Instant Hell Murder" .
The only reason the Misogi doesn't appear lethal is the fact that Street Fighter isn't as gritty as Mortal Kombat or Killer Instinct. Otherwise the blow should split anyone in half. So when you see P.O.T.S Shin Gouki slice M.Bison the his intro you should be seeing Bison slump down and slide in half. Akuma is evil but he has his reasons for sparing people just like any MK character but get in his way and you're dead. He's a much darker character than more than half of the Street fighter roster and it'd be amazing to see just how he kills his enemies during the SGS.

since I came here hoping to watch another video find, but what I found instead was theory about why Akuma should fit in MKX.... I guess I could play along,
GUTS should be in MKX, he has big sword and don't have problem chopping people to pieces, that and Pyramid head too!!!

..Fulgore it will be.
And an assassins creed character for the ps4 and ps3 version is stupid.
Sweeth Tooth from Twisted Metal /Playstation Allstars is my pick.
ps: Since there is nothing new to talk about...have a look at this awesome D'Vorah FAN ARRRRRRT

Back on the subject of Fulgore though. I don't think it would be very smart to have any KI characters appear as guests in MKX, considering how badly the new KI title was received.

Really? I thought that KI did very well. I mean, they're doing a 2nd season of the game, so I assume that the game must of done well enough in order to get that green light.
Anyway, I like to do some snooping around and try to catch some of the rumors that go around for games that I like, and since this is one of them... well, why not. Here's some that caught my eye while I looked around on MKO (Mortal Kombat Online). Remember, these are rumors so take them for what they're worth:
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
...All from a group who got to visit the studio in Chicago... Liu Kang DOES have a character design for MKX. Not implemented in the game as of yet.
Kotal Kahn has no relation to Shao Kahn.
MKX demo will be coming out for fans like they did with MK9.
Tanya is believed to be in the game. An X-Ray that was tested resembled her MK4 Fatality of her twisting the neck with her thighs.
Planned to have 14 brand new characters, 8 returning from MK9 & then roughly 8 from MK4 on. Planning on a roster of 30.
The storyline does go 25 years forward but a large, nice portion is devoted to the MK4 storyline (right after MK9)
Kotal Kahn has something to do with Shinnok. This person didn't fully understand.
No Sheeva.
Gameplay is like MK9 but a little tighter & easier to use. D'Vorah was more difficult to play than the others.
Scorpion is used as the "tester" for all character moves.
There's a reptile-like man creature. They weren't sure if it was Reptile or Chameleon or a new character. Was on computer screen getting worked on.

Sounds legit to me, but I guess cause I want it all to be true. If I had to guess the 8 mk4 characters: -shinnok -jarek -kai -fujin -tanya -reiko -quan chi -??? Only obvious ones I'm going with are fujin and shinnok. Not sure if this counts mk gold but eh. I can't think of another mk4 character for the last spot.

And Quan Chi would return from MK9 actually.
Bet Fujin, Tanya, Reiko, Kai from MK4
Frost will return and be super sexy I bet, maybe Havik from MKD...beside Bo Rai Cho and Nitara all other newer characters were so shitty that they please won't return.

Reminds me of that unused "Fujin" announcer voice sample in MK9. They probably wanted to add him while developing MK9 but ultimately ended up discarding him to keep the story as it was, saving him for a sequel.

Sub-Zero with tits is a good character now? There are better post-MK4 characters .. like Kobra. Mavado? There needs to be some Black Dragon reps, unless that concept has been trashed.
I think almost all of the women chained up in Shao Kahn's stage have a chance of appearing.

OK, it's Kenshi, people. Get the name right.
As for me... Well, Quan Chi and Shinnok were in MK9 (one was playable and the other had a cameo), so let's put them in. If they're looking for 8 from MK4 on, then here's my idea:
MK4: Tanya, Reiko and Jarek Deadly Alliance: Kenshi and Mavado Deception: Kira
My reasoning: -The spoilers I posted mentioned Tanya. -Kenshi was in MK9, so why not at this point continue his storyline since Shang Tsung is dead? -Jarek, Kira and Mavado could play a role with the Black Dragon now that Kano is gone (for the time being. Who knows if he's in the roster). Plus, one of them could make a good rival for Cassie Cage. :)
One last thing: So glad to hear the possibility of Kotal Kahn not being related to Shao Kahn. I remember (and those who are big MK fans should as well) during the early days of Deadly Alliance that there was a character teased with the name 'Kublai Khan' That character became Hsu Hao.

my guess that its the original sub zero Son !
I mean it make more sense if you tought about it, Sub Zero had a son that no one know about , and is now grown up and out for revange against the same guy who killed his father

Its better not add speculations who come from images or random reasons other than story.

I was going to risk saying Tanya, since some guy said he saw her at the game, but this is also random.

Sub-Zero did return, didn't he? And even as a human (or, at least, thats what we think) Liu Kang also returned as a zombie later in the MK events after dying. So, don't think death will limit those guys' presence in other games.

that's not a random slash, from what I can see, the fatalities change depending on the character style you choose... he picked Scorpion with the sword, so the last hit-move of the fatality is different, instead of throwing the head, he just cut his face
maybe I'm wrong but I do believe that's why it's so similar to the other fatality

Because Armageddon kinda stagnated the franchise. MK9 introduced a new engine with a nostalgia-fest to get the fans back after some missteps with the last few games. Now that they're back, they can now do what they originally wanted with MK now re-established.

I know he's said it would have the most new characters in a game ever (Deadly Alliance has 10 or 11), but I don't remember him saying "half".
Also worth saying that Boon's admitted the E3 char select screen is a sham (http://www.mortalkombatonline.com/content/forum/showmessage.cds?id=151412).

D'Vorah says some fun stuff during battles and in the intros
Ferra/Torr Intro:
-D'Vorah: "You offend this one Ferra!" -Ferra: "What LadyBug do about that?" -D'Vorah: "Exterminate!"
He was at least not as outplaced as Link, Spawn, Ezio and Cole MacGrath and even Kratos.
Actually, Ezio fits pretty well in SCV. He was, after all an assassin from more or less the same time as the events of the game. Link has the excuse of being teleported dimentionally. But the other ones are outplaced as well.

I dunno, I found Darth Vader a large improvement for Soul Calibur. Anyone who didn't want to Force Choke half the roster sometimes is lying.
I'm all for Freddy. Guest characters are fun, if nonsensical. Though that's part of the fun, if you ask me. Heck, I'd still find it amusing to see Xbox evening out PS3's Kratos addition last game with Master Chief, even if he's completely out of place. Too bad Stryker's already got the grenade shoved in the chest fatality covered.

I've heard rumors that The Predator could be the guest character... I don't know for sure.
To me, a guest character wouldn't be a bad idea, but the potential backlash (especially after the PS3 version of MK9 getting a bonus guest character in Kratos) might be too great to take a chance.

I wondered as well, if they will bring some of the rumor characters to life, after all, since Ermac and Skarlet appeared, why not the other ones. Here are them, for those who don't remember:
- Nimbus Terrafaux - African-American kickboxer, rumored in the original MK. Not a bad concept in my opinion. - Hornbuckle - Paletteswap of Liu Kang from the Pit II stage. If Blaze (who fights him in the stage) has come to canon, why not him? - Emerald - Mileena-ish character, rumored from MK2. Probably, it would come to be just another green ninja with an entirely new moveset. - Red Robin - Red ninja, supposedly hidden in Goro's Lair at MK2. - Stan Looth - Shao Kahn's janitor, obviously a joke made by magazines, but, who knows... - Aquilluxborg "Aqua" Hydroxybot - The most complete rumor, that included a profile and an ending. A robotized ninja with demonic and hydric powers. - Pedro - April-fools joke: rumored to be a mexican palette-swap of Stryker in UMK3 who used flaming farts as attacks. - Belokk - Apparently, was to be added to MKGold, but was scrapped. There are screenshots of the character, and he was meant to be secretly playable, but that wasn't true.
I'd give my votes to Hornbuckle and Aqua, since Horn could end up like Blaze, becoming an actual character, and Aqua was probably the most complete rumor, and Boon could make use of him.

Didn't Red Robin basically end up being Ermac?
Title: Re: Mortal Kombat X (Last update on 10.06.14)
Post by: Lord M on July 08, 2014, 06:42:40 am
No. Ermac originated from fan mythology as well. It was said that if Scorpion was overused in the Sega version, a screen with "Error Macro" would appear and Scorpion's outfit would be colored red. Also, "Ermac" (or maybe "Error Macro", I'm not sure) was found in the game alongside the characters' names, which increased the speculations about a secret character. The color glitch was proven to not exist, and Boon said that what was found alongside the characters' names was a macro wrote for catching code errors.

As far as I'm concerned guest characters as a concept devalues both brands involved. The only guest character I've liked was Gon in Tekken 3, and that was mostly because I was a kid and didn't know he was a guest character.

I think guest characters are fine as long as they fit with the general theme and aesthetic of the game they are appearing in. Link and Spawn were cool in Soul Calibur 2, for example. Heihachi, Vader, Yoda, and Ezio (to a lesser extent) were all kinds of what the fuck, however.
Title: Re: Mortal Kombat X (Last update on 10.06.14)
Post by: Lord M on July 08, 2014, 06:55:17 pm
Actually, Spawn was one of the guys that didn't fit in Soul Calibur. He is from a time far from those events. Ezio was the one who fit most in the game. People are speculatin Predator to be in MKX, and its really someone I wouldn't mind seeing.

heihachi was perfect in sc because he is actually in the story line/universe, if only about 5 or 6 centuries later (see sc yoshimitsu)

Post by: Lord M on July 08, 2014, 09:17:07 pm
The Yoshimitsus from Soul Calibur are ancestors to the Yoshimitsu in Tekken. But Heihachi is from the Tekken timeline, so, perhaps someone from the Mishima family in that time. By the way, lets stop being off-topic now, this is the MKX thread.

What if this Kotal Kahn dude is Belokk with a new name and slight re-design. (ie. Skarlet)
Belokk fan rendition: (based off of MK's leaked in-game screenshots) (http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130916102419/mk_/images/a/a3/Belokk.png) Kotal Kahn: (https://videogamesalexander.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/kotal-kahn.jpg) (http://www.lightninggamingnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/War-God-Kotal-Kahn-stars-in-this-Mortal-Kombat-X-Image-1024x640.jpg)

Post by: TempesT on July 09, 2014, 04:08:40 am
Kotal Kahn's design is based on Aztec theology (this has been brought up before, also when comparing Ancient Ogre from Tekken to Kotal Kahn), his headdress is fashioned to represent Quetzalcoatl. Saying he's a throwback to some spiky headed character they designed years ago is a huge stretch. Even the two weapons he uses, Tecpatl and Macuahuitl are Aztec.

Just because they're both nearly naked guys? Shao Kahn is like that too, and Belokk was completely removed from the game.
Title: Re: Mortal Kombat X (Last update on 10.06.14)
Post by: Reck on July 09, 2014, 04:57:46 am
I wouldn't completely out rule it. Belokk's getup (with the exception of the spikes) closely resembles K. Kahn's. It's not as far fetched as one may think. Hell, Ermac and Skarlet became characters because of palette errors from past MK games. I'm not saying it's 100% canon, it's just a theory of mine.
Oh, and also forgot to mention that they both have weird colored skin.

Actually, if you read Spawn comics you would know there is a character known as Medieval Spawn, which is what the Soul Calibur character was based on evident by that huge boot and axe he uses. So in a way he fits in far better than Heihachi and Star Wars ever did.
And if we were to be really technical... Ezio would be a 100 years to old to be in the storyline at that time

Spawn, Kratos and Ezio all fit into Soul Calibur games quite well actually. Especially compared to Yoda, Vader, Link and Heihachi.

he fits as much as the other two characters mentioned fit
if they dont fit, he doesnt fit, hell link fits in this game for that matter
also, cyborgs
He fits much more than any other character mentioned. Think about it: a Predator has the excuse of coming from another world, kills in gory ways, is a hunter and seek strong enemies, worked against humans from Earth(-realm). Tell my why he doesn't fit?

Just the fact that Link isn't really a violent character, it was quite odd (and awesome) to see him in Soul Calibur, but then again he was in Smash so it's whatever.
@Lord M
Time periods don't determine who does and doesn't fit when it comes to a game like Soul Calibur
back on topic, I'm still hoping Fujin will make the cut though so Raiden won't have to be the leader of Earthrealm the whole game.

What do you mean by "a game like Soul Calibur"? And what about MK9?
Soul Calibur is a weapons based fighter and Link fit the mold in that game. Yes, they had to do something with Heihachi, but they made it work,
MK9 (and MK in general) is about violence. So, in a way, you want characters that best fit that mold. That's how you can explain Kratos and Freddy Kreuger in that game.

pre-noob bi han and sareena had a fling, gave birth to tanya, tanya was kidnapped by the brotherhood of shadow when she was young and bi han died, turned into an assassin, sent to edenia as a double agent by shinnok, to fuck shit up*
or sareena may have raised tanya herself from birth as a member of the brotherhood to go to edenia as a double agent, to fuck shit up*
they are all associated with the brotherhood of shadow, they may play an important role since shinnok is most likely the big bad of this one, and fujin and the new forces of light may combat them
*i made this scenario up, sareena is a good guy and tanya is not related to either as far as i know, but since i thought of it make it happen boon, it's an interesting scenario

These three have one thing in common: they're Quan Chi's bitches. Sareena was one of the three sexy demon ladies who fought for him in MKMythologies, Noob has been revived by him, Tanya betrayed Edenia and sided with Quan Chi and Shinnok. Scorpion probably isn't there because, well, its Scorpion.

I'm aware of Sareena's existence in the MK canon, but I never noticed she had the fucking Oblivion mark tatted on her shoulder/arm. Tanya wouldn't be a surprise since she was inspired by Boon's sister, he seems to be very fond of the character.

Yeah, but at least he destroys an organ punching, instead of crushing.

Most of the bad guys (Reptile included) survived because they where whipping boys. In fact, the only bad guys to die were Noob, Shang Tsung, Sindel and Shao Kahn.
Speaking of Raiden: I liked what I see. The 'Thunder Lord' setup has traps that remind me of Mu setups in Blazblue, which can be a scary thing if done right. I like the X-Ray (complete with shocking) as well. Kotal Kahn, on the other hand, was the spotlight stealer for me. Remember, there really wasn't that much gameplay for him at E3, so to see more of what he can do, like his X-Ray (Aztec Knee FTW!), was something that was worth waiting for.
Now comes Comic-Con. What do they have in store there.

So, Raiden and Kotal Kahn are somewhat brothers? If not that, so instead, they are colleagues, for sure.

Lol, that's one of the funniest things I've read all day.
As much as agree that his post was "bullshit" it's not a bad idea. MK has only ever shown four elder gods in the serie's entirety. Raiden, Fujin, & Taven and Daegon's parents. (I don't remember their names) so it would be nice to see them debut a new one.
Also, just as a side note. In MK9 you can see Daegon fighting someone on the pit stage, but he's wearing his MKA armor. In MKA, he doesn't get the armor until after Armageddon actually begins, so that's either a big continuity fuck up on N'S part, or they're preluding to something.

I hope they don't come back. And if they do, I hope they do something else other than getting beaten up, they revealed themselves so unimportant, that they could easily die in the cutscenes of MKX before the story actually begin. This was the only thing I disliked in the story mode, because they added some unnecessary fights, like Jax fighting Johnny because he said there was something between him and Sonya, like filler fights.

In his defense the Armageddon Raiden sent a very non-descriptive and kryptic message back in time expecting the younger Raiden to know exactly what the hell the visions were about. it's like being given one totally random piece of a puzzle at a time, and being expected to know exactly where it goes. It's just mental that the wise Raiden of the future didn't just say hey bro back in time just let the skull mask guy win and the Elder Gods will kick his ass. That and Cindel was massively OP at the time when she fought every good guy besides Raiden and Kang.

Because the past could've been fixed then as well. If Scorpion didn't kill SubZ, the timeline would've been greatly altered.

Because then past Raiden would believe that message to be a threat instead of a warning, motivating him to put more trust in the forces of light on Kahn's defeat, leaving the timeline unchanged. He also would ignore the cracks on his amulet if that happened.

- MKX will introduce more new characters than any other MK game.
- There shall be DLC characters, and at least one will be a guest.
Also, this other says no DC characters will be guests: http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2014/07/15/guest-characters-coming-to-mortal-kombat-x.aspx?utm_content=bufferce39c&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer

No, did you not play the game or were you not paying attention? "He must win" refers to Shao Kahn, if he won then the Elder Gods would take action, as shown at the end of the game when Raiden gives up to him.

I guess Suave is referring to the fact that in MK vs DC, fatalities were heavily toned down to the point of the game being rated T for Teen, cause DC didn't like superman's head and spine being ripped off or something along those lines I think.

Exactly. In injustice yeah anyone can be put in because fatalities weren't present. Mk tho? No. Of course a dc character isn't gonna be put in because ns is trying to be more and more violent with each game released after the other. Boon even stated himself that they couldn't really do much goriness in mk vs dcu because dc didn't like brutal shit happening to the heroes or something like that. Don't get me wrong I liked dcu, but the point I was trying to make is that a dc character in mkx as a guest character wasn't and isn't going to happen. Anyone who thought it was clearly never played mk vs dcu.

That doesnt make since since shao Kahn didn't technically win he didn't kill raiden the pendant was fixed after raiden beat his ass
Of course he won. He killed most of the Earthrealm's defenders and managed to enter without the Mortal Kombat with Raiden surrendering to him. Raiden did not defeat Shao Kahn, the Elder Gods did. They possessed Raiden and used him as an avatar.

Idk probably because in deadly alliance he was nothing but comic relief and he wasn't serious and he'd fart sometimes. Not to mention one of his moves involved fucking puking. I never cared for the way he played. I can respect that he's an all owerful outworld warrior and he trains warriors, but I don't like playing as him.

It's cause he's a disgusting slob. Doesn't help that his moves revolve more around being unhygenic instead of being Liu Kang's teacher (if MK was anime, they would have made him a perv on top of that). I'm sure NRS would give him better and more badass looking moves.
Outside of that he's not too bad; he's better than some of the other 3d-era characters who are just laughably boring as shit.

What the fuck
-Next gen power will really push the trademark brutality to new levels -24 fighters in roster (18 plus the six we know about, not mentioning Raiden) MY MISTAKE: Septillion pointed out it was probably just the E3 build they were playing, which makes sense considering Ed said around 30 fighters. My bad - Looks like Johnny and Sonya are major players in the story: story is described as 'about' them -The silhouettes could be characters blacked out -Sub Zero is not Bi Han: Noob is stressed to still be a separate character. However, its noted KL went Cyber. Seems likely to be a new Sub Zero. Will be answered in story mode -The idea behind multiple variations is for different incarnations of characters: seems like it will be older-and-younger variations for some -A lot of info about Cassie's styles, specials and fatality: nothing we dont know/havent seen -Kotal Kahn is described as a mystical Mayan warrior. -Stage fatalities confirmed, natural to MK -Details on Kotal and D'Vorah's moves -NRS want to 'seize the moment' -Details on Raiden's moves -EVO was a big deal for NRS, determined to be an EVO mainstay -Ed Boon says: there will be different variations of Johnny Cage, Sonya Blade and Liu Kang. "Is Liu Kang in?" "But of course". So looks like those three are confirmed. "Liu Kang, while not confirmed, is certainly in". Possibility of a mistranslation, either from Boon to German or a flaw in my German but it sounds fairly cut and dry, those three are in and playable -Boon refused to be drawn on any other characters. -DLC further confirmed, guest character further confirmed.

Some slight differences:
SOUL CALIBUR V - Shitty story mode, nearly nothing that happened between Soul Calibur IV and Soul Calibur V was told, boring plot - Absolutely retarded protagonists, a murderous crybaby and a psychotic idontwannafight character - Bad use of returning characters, with only a few of them in the story, only to play veeeeeeeeeeery small roles - Bad use of the other new characters without a backstory for most of them and having most of them copying older movesets - No good additional modes - Good online play - Good gameplay improvements from the last game - Uninteresting DLC
MORTAL KOMBAT X - Already has a lot of people crazy to know the plot, but still there are only speculations - If the protagonists are actually Sonya and Johnny, they were always excellent characters - Though the returning characters are few, they already seem to be important in the plot - The new characters all look very interesting and original - No information, but considering the games released before, we can expect something good - No information, but considering the games released before, we can expect something good - From what we know, the addition of the character variations and stage interactions seems good as well, it appears that a new "-ality" will be introduced - Considering the DLC from the last game, the spectations are high
So, from what I see, MKX seems pretty fine compared to SCV.

Well they're two completely different games seadragon. Same game genre but different as all hell. Your saying that you hope this games story won't end up like scv, but from looking at mk9, seems highly unlikely since mk9, pretty much all the mk games actually, not counting mk1-3, have used action cutscenes and not just stills, which was bland and boring as fuck, especially for a gorgeous game like scv. In mkx case, your looking at Johnny as patraklos and Sonya as Pyrrha? Nah I highly doubt that. They all have totally different personalities. Sonya is the complete opposite of Pyrrha, and cage... Eh him and patraklos might have some similarities like being prideful and gullible, but mkx story I doubt it'll be boring and similar to scv.

Probably because SCV , a direct sequel is more or less the worst game of its series, while MK9 on the other hand was the best MK game so far and MKX looks like it will be even better.

Did you actually played MK9 and SCV story modes? cause it looks that the buffoon is you. Theres no point of comparison between them. As someone alredy said Soul Calibur story was focused in two unfamiliar characters, that seems to be not so popular between gamers. Most of the story scenes were presented in sepia drawings, and there wasn't any explanation on what happened between soul calibur iv and v and practically all the other characters aside the Alexandra brothers were not relevant to the story.
Mortal Kombat story worked fairly well. There were some cool action scenes, all the characters that appeared have certain relevance to the story. And thinking that just cause the new story is going to be focused in Sonya and Cage is gonna be similar to Soul Calibur V is stupid because, they are not brothers, they are already very well know and popular characters, their personalities are totally different to the Patroklos and Phyrna(Cage is very fun), and because that the story will focuse on them that doesn't mean is gonna be just about them, just mean that maybe they are the ones that are going to start it all the events that are going to happend, and that is logic since they were of the few survivors from the previous game.

Also MKX is going to span between all of the events that happened throughout the years, instead of jumping years into the future with little material to fill the gaps.

Well, you guys sure shot down that comparison. Now I look like the complete and total buffoon here (thanks for saying that, Saizo. BTW, I did play both game's story modes in case you were wondering) and not Cazaki.
The reason I made that comparison was the possible idea that Sonya and Cage were the main leads in the story and everyone else got shoved to the way side, similar to how it was in Soul Calibur V.

Most of it is safely known information (taking brutality to the next level, presence at evo, confirming dlc and guest characters) so the stuff that was leaked doesn't sound that out there.
Anyway, interested in seeing how they handle Liu Kang.

Maybe his soul was split in half, so then we will have "Good" Liu Kang and "Evil" Liu Kang. Each one would be a variation, and the last one would be the complete Liu Kang, after the heroes manage to reunite his two halves.

Raidens has always been dressed in blue and white, only exceptions I can think of being mk1 and deception. My favorite look on him was his mkda look tbh. He just looked so damn clean and the lightning come off him finished the costume perfectly. Also I hate when people refer to sindel and kitana. I honestly don't think that them being mother and daughter matters like Cassie being the daughter of cage and Sonya. Sindel was evil wasn't she? So who cares. I'd understand if Sonya and cage weren't in the game so as to prevent fatalities from them being done on Cassie, or even each other. So it's whatever I guess.

The whole fatality on a family member shouldnt really be a problem since it wont play a part of the story (i hope), since fatality's are usually just confined to the arcade and vs mode. So who cares if Sonya does a fatality on Cassie?

That's a lot of new tools Kano's got. It's funny as hell how they've tried to make cannonball a bit more useful by having an anti-air version and a dive version with a knockdown kick finish, but all it does is remind me of Athena's Phoenix Arrow. The new boxier eye implant is giving me Cyrax/Sektor vibes, though.

I know it doesn't mean shit, but I dislike that Kano's variations make his cybernetic eye change colors. I realize it's an extremely small thing and It probably won't make a huge difference but it just bugs me for some reason, I guess it just strays to far away from the Kano I know and love. But whatever, he still looks fun to play as, and his fatality looks really gory which is always welcomed.
The Sonya/Cage/Cassie argument seems redundant, MK has never had character to character fatality restrictions (with the exception of Kratos, but that's completely understandable) so I really doubt there'll be any changes in that regard. Game still looks very promising either way.
Title: Re: Mortal Kombat X (Last update on 12.08.14)
Post by: Lord M on August 13, 2014, 03:41:09 am
Well, Boon denied the presence of Sonya. And I don't see an understandable reason for restrictions in the Kratos fatalities. Different reactions like in Ermac's Pest Control and Krueger's IDon'tKnowTheName (the one where he throws the victim in an oven) are understandable, but not restrictions.

1. This has not been confirmed. Since the game starts off where the previous left off, there is a good chance they will be in. 2. Why? His dead. 3. Also not confirmed as that screen is from demo builds of the game.

Some news: http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/08/13/gamescom-2014-ed-boon-talks-mortal-kombat-x-story-mode-characters-and-guests
Kotal Kahn is an emperor of Outworld. He will rise and fall during the story, so we'll see his ass getting kicked.
Kotal Kahn is not the only other character that becomes emperor, so, we may see rise and fall of some other people, maybe some returning character.
D'Vorah is an ally of Kotal Kahn.
Cassie Cage's presence does not deny Johnny and Sonya's. Interactions between parents and offsprings is "one of the most exciting possibilities".

Well, it seems that D'Vorah doesn't like either earthrealmers or technology, considering the way she talks to Kano: "You disgust us, hideous one."

I was thinking in the sense of the SF4 canon because there isn't anything (at the moment) that would suggest that Kotal Kahn and D'Vorah would have the SFxT relationship that Bison and Juri had.

But they weren't allies in SSF4. I mean, Juri's rival battle is against M. Bison and they act towards each other as if they were always enemies. Of course, having D'Vorah as a traitor would be cool, but she doesn't look that powerful, compared to Kotal Kahn.

1. Johnny cage and sonya wont be in mkx (since their daughter is replacing them)
Doesn't the story begin with the survivors of the forces of light? Them being Raiden, Sonya and Cage? It's a 25-year time gap, I'm pretty sure we'll play as both of them at least in story mode.
So? That didn't seem to stop him in the original timeline. In fact there are very few MK characters that stayed dead in the original timeline, if any. In fact, I'm starting to understand why the original name idea for the first game was Immortal Kombat.
3. Since I saw the latest video featuring kano im sure that all the characters on top at the selectscreen are going to be returning characters from mk9.
Old "-ality" coming back (Probably Animality) and Boon still wants to make MK VS SF but knows it wont happen anytime soon because Capcom probably wont allow us to fulfill one of our deepest dreams ever: decapitate Ryu.

She was good after MK3 in the original timeline, that didn't stop the possibility of her and Kitana fighting and killing each other in versus.
as for your information being sure about something has nothing to do with seeing the future, at least not for me, i think that there is a high chance that these 3 things i mentoined are true
1. cassie cage has moves of johnny cage and sonya, so why should ed boon waist hes time bringing them back when he already has a new character that plays very close to them. 2. Ed boon stated that the main antagonist is going to be an "surprise returning character." so there is a high chance that liu kang is going to be resurected and become an villian to avenge hes own death against raiden. 3. there are already 4 returning characters and to be honest i dont think that there are much people how thought that kano is going to make an return in this game, that means that there have to be more mk9 characters to come , they cant replace to much characters cause they need them to tell the story mode.

1. Boon himself said that there would be parents-offspring interactions. I think that, gameplay-wise, Cassie is a mix of Sonya and Johnny, she uses their abilities, but in a different way, so I wouldn't discard their presence as playable so soon. Anyway, if they don't appear as playable, they'll surely make cameos. 2. That actually depends. A returning character from the entire franchise, or just from MK9? Because if it is from the entire frachise, I'd bet on Shinnok too, but, like @Graphicus I wouldn't be surprised. But from MK9's roster, anyone would be a surprise, I don't think any of them would return as the main antagonist. I thought about Blaze or Onaga, but Blaze did not have his full power until MKA and Onaga's presence may require Reptile and, hopefully, Nitara in the story, like before. 3. Actually, being Kano one of the few who didn't die, his presence was very predictable. Boon said this will be the game in which they'll introduce most new characters and that the number of characters would be around 30, so, there is place for a lot of people to return and come in.

also a girl said she play a MKX demo on xbox one... that's a lie right? I remember the demo from MK9 was one week before the game came out
It is confirmed for PS3 and 360, Ed Boon said that on an interview. However, no demo was released yet.
Jesus dude... do you ever read other people's replies before posting your own? This is like the 3rd time you've repeated information that someone else already posted about, I have no reason to dislike you bro, just fucking read the thread, That is all I ask.

Please Lord M, please post only if you have something to write nobody else here said already. Don't come up with polls nobody cares about, don't speculate weird shit.

I haven't seen if someone already wrote that Ed Boon wants to add another fighting style for the characters, something like a barehand mode just for that ones that don't need especial moves to play and think are good enough to try it out
Sounds interesting so far...

Ed also mentioned it more than one time already that no DC comics characters would be guest characters.
Most likely there will be one guest character from another popular game on the specific console in there, makes me wonder what the PC gets.
My predictions are Fulgore on the xb consoles and Sweeth Tooth on the Playstations. Have no clue about the PC version.

Not a bad look for Goro, just wish we could see a little more.
I may be amongst only few here, but this was my favorite incarnation of Goro from any of the MK games. (http://testyourmight.com/attachments/goro2-jpg.9044/) I just liked that he had a "give no fucks" attitude. In MK9 he just seemed like a mindless brute that followed every single one of Kahn's orders without question. I'd like to see Goro rebel against Kahn or something, I've always thought Goro would make a hella cool good guy. Plus I don't think we've ever seen a good guy Shokan in any MK game.

That's pretty much his MK9 Ladder (non-canon) ending. Whichever the case, if he gets in the roster (I honestly have no idea why he wouldn't to begin with), I hope he turns into a good guy again.

I don't know how much of an attitude or actual canon story they can give a DLC character, sadly. They didn't give any to Rain or Skarlet in MK9, just ladder mode endings. Though admittedly we did learn a couple of things.

I like the nostalgic feel of the controller, and it certainly brings back fond memories of MK3 in my youth. And I can get that they put an analog stick in there in order to "modernize" the old experience. But I just can't comprehend why the right side is shorter than the left... it looks so weird. I just can't imagine it being more comfortable than the Genesis controller, especially for someone with long-ass fingers like myself.

I'm all for flashiness, but holy fuck. Those X-Rays are pretty much fatalities. One of Stryker's MK9 fatalities was literally shooting someone with his fucking handgun blowing their god damn head to bits, but yet Cassie's shoots someone with not one, BUT TWO! handguns and it merely stuns the opponent? Either Cassie's pistols are uber fucking nerfed or MK's logic is totally fucked.

In all seriousness though, I've noticed that quan chi actually LOOKS EVIL. Even has an evil move set to compliment his evil looks. He's definitely looking his best in mkx. Can't wait to see who the next character reveal is.

Gamers eagerly awaiting the release of NetherRealm Studio's upcoming Mortal Kombat X will be able to get their fill of fatalities when the digital series of the same name debuts in January 2015. Writer and relative newcomer Shawn Kittelsen will be joined by artist Dexter Soy, who was previously seen tearing it up in Captain Marvel, and cover artist Ivan Reis. The creative plans out staying true to the foundational story laid down in 2011's Mortal Kombat while blowing open the expansive world of the upcoming game. According to Kittelsen, the entire roster of character from the franchise's long history is at their disposal, so fans can look forward to seeing some familiar faces that might not appear on screen in Mortal Kombat X along with a slew of new characters.

One thing a guy from the Wikia Forum found out is that Quan Chi's boots are the first image of that image Boon tweeted: (http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140830205419/mk_/images/e/ec/BwPsmzCCcAAvnd4.jpg) We need to guess the other ones.
I got a feeling this is gonna be just like the whole silhouette trolling thing, but what the hell...
1.- Quan Chi (obviously) 2.- Jax 3.- The footwear made me think Liu Kang, but looking at the ankle, I have serious doubts. 4.- Kitana? Jade? Unsure 5.- Kung Lao 6.- Shinnok
I'm probably quite off and my time was just pointlessly spent, though. :P
My speculation for boot #3 could maybe a new fighter from the White Locust School (where Liu Kang & Kung Lao learned martial arts)

Also I think boot #4 is Sheeva as the wearer only has 2 toes

Not necessarily. Go google "tabi".
Oh yeah didn't think of that, Boon probably did that on purpose to make people (like me) think its Sheeva

Just as easily as it could be any of the other four female 'ninjas'. There's a reason the image is monochrome.

since the costume between all three types is practically the same with only minor details/ effects to tell them apart, it would be COOL if we can actually change type in game maybe by consuming power, just like playstation port of MVC's Ryu who can change into gouki and ken in game, that was super cool.

Yeah, come to think of it, I think I might've swapped Jax and Kung Lao around.

I had an idea about the new -ality, I don't know if it something like this was posted here but it is: Teamality. Think about it: dialogue leaks revealed that there would be tag team again in MKX, so, a Tag Team Fatality would be awesome too, and we never had something like this before, it could be perfect.

He's teasing six. Well, five four now.
The picture of the boots were revealed ages ago, the one on the far left is Quan Chi's, so we can presume they're all upcoming characters. The new element of the picture are the heads at the bottom, which hints at Jax.

Mortal Kombat X Executive Producer Shaun Himmerick Talks Tournaments, Goro, Game Modes
He mentioned that there won't be platform exclusive characters this time.
Some of the characters revived by Quan Chi in MK9's story mode might return but in different /changed forms maybe.

Don't worry about that. I highly doubt he will be just for pre-order, I'm pretty sure he'll be available later, either as DLC or in MKX: Komplete Edition.

This news comes courtesy of the United Kingdom’s GamesMaster magazine, who recently revealed that they’ve been provided some exclusive information on the title that will be revealed in an upcoming edition.
Who this mysterious fighter may be, however, is anyone’s guess. NetherRealm Studios executive producer Shaun Himmerick mentioned in a recent interview that Quan Chi’s appearance in Mortal Kombat X allows them to do some interesting things with the story thanks to his ability to resurrect the dead, which definitely opens the possibilities up a bit.

Zombie Liu Kang was just a lazy excuse to add a zombie in the game, because zombies grew popular. I'm sure they can find a better way to include Liu Kang in MKX.

Actually zombie Liu Kang was around before the new zombie craze. I really think zombie Liu Kang was just supposed to be a joking way to include him in new MK games without him being a part of the plot. Which IIRC he was in the plot anyway...not sure about that actually I don't remember

Well, Quan Chi could bring some of them back, but they'd look different and/or act different. That's been stated, but it would be different to have a spector/shadow version of Liu Kang. Maybe his soul got mixed with Kung Lao's. That is, if Kung Lao's dead.
Call him "Liu Lao" or "Kung Kang" XD

He still did a fair share, actually. In MKD, he and Ermac worked together to free his friends from Onaga's control.
He's pretty much dead, yes. Shao Kahn snapped his neck from behind after he singlehandedly fended off Quan Chi and Shang Tsung combined... oh, and Kintaro. Man, the more I think about it, the more I realize the fights in MK9's story were such a clusterfuck.

Mhhhhhh how about "Lao Kang"? ;D
I think they will definitely bring some old chars back if they use Quan Chi as a plot device to explain it, and maybe add some later via DLC.^^
