EDIT: Oh jeah, almost forgot. Guy on Gamefaqs got an image from Netherealm Studios’ new site, some of the staff working on a character model on the first monitor:
Human smoke is a likely candidate as he is wearing his colors (red seems to be the battle damage areas), but in that Raiden video that had smoke in the background, we couldn’t see his hair like that picture shows. Actually now that I think about it, it may be an alternate costume, that’d make sense. The costume is right, looks just like the UMK ninja costumes with the squares along the torso. reference check Yeah, similar
Looks like “classic Smoke” in the Raiden trailer or perhaps just a generic ninja jobber minion. At least, thats what I would think.
Liu Kang has a dragon in his fatality? If so, that could explain the dragon/lizard render.
EDIT: Derp, youtubed it. Liu Kang definitely dragonizes in older games, cool. Never knew that. I’m still catching up on all this MK stuff, lol. Goes back to MK Wiki
I haven’t played true MK game since MKII on my Sega Genesis, bro (I’m not counting MkvDC due to the DC aspect). I’m trying to catch up on like 11 years of MK stuff here! I wasn’t even aware of 70% percent of the characters listed on this wiki, let alone Animalities, Babalities or Friendships up until like, a month ago.
He looks pretty fucking cool… getting more excited for this game by the day… Just need more details on the online and of course, more awesome gameplay footage.
