MK9 | News & Discussion (Updated as news happens!)

Supposedly, JWong wants to play Sub Zero in MK9, but not the demo. Grrrrrrrrrrrr.

Twitter / Justin Wong: I want to play MK9 Sub Zer …

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:

People on 'Faqs speculating it could be human Smoke’s look for MK9 (as well as some sort of dragon/lizard thing). Thoughts?

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

Liu Kang Fatality?

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

Damn, this Fujin guy looks cool.

^You be trollin?
I want to say yes because of your avatar

EDIT: Ok so it was a common mistake.
But how could you miss something as classic as Liu Kang’s OG dragon fatality

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.

sigh Jocelot…

pff, if you want OG he should be doing this: [media=youtube]6cKnL0DPwQo[/media]

Holy crap, is it just me or does Liu Kang’s oldschool fatality look like his X Ray in MK9?

(Also, wft ihateM.O.D.O.K! Why does it seem whenever you quote me it’s a sigh of dissapointment?)

EDIT: A slightly more blown up image (thanks Jeriakimefu on Gfaqs and currykingdh on themortalkombat.com boards):

Definitely seeing some distinctly grey armour and a kind of ninja-esque mask. Also liking the long hair.

yep just check both and it the same kick and uppercut. just a extra kick for the x ray

The kick is from a movie …forget the name though.

Can’t help but think of Rei as I look at that pic.

That image definitely shows Smoke. The outfit is like a UMK3 ninja…and it’s black and grey. Who else would that be???

Who the hell is the character in the hood that Kratos is beating on? I mean the one he gives his x-ray move to.

Is it Ermac? I have no idea, and it’s pissing me off.

Ermac alt outfit.
