Kitana Revealed!

Guyver Spawn said:
I don't think a retcon happen. I guess that they break free out of control early on in the game and Kung Lao went off on his way after returning back to normal in the story mode. I guess 25 years later, Raiden has asked Kung Lao on what happen to him. If Ermac does return in the game then I wonder if he will help Raiden free everyone from Quan Chi's control? He help Liu Kang break Kung Lao, Jax, Jonny Cage, Sonya and Kitana out of Oanga's control in the original timeline.

If Kung Lao isn't back from the dead (and was just alive the whole time, as that trailer suggests) or even recognized as being dead in MK9, then yes, it's a retcon.
So, are you implying that NRS should bring back every single dead character from MK9 to MKX?
Because, if that's not the case, then I guarantee that if for some reason Kuai-Liang, Smoke, Kabal, Jade and Jax don't come back, that people will complain to NRS that "It's not fair, because Kitana and Kung Lao are in."
This is 1 of the few times where I will say "Mark my words."

I reckon some of the classics will be DLC or MK4-Deception characters as DLC.
 
My only gripe is the hookah head hairdo, but I'm not going to fuss since she looks amazing this time around. I'm definitely digging the new assassin outfit, so I can't wait to see what her alt looks like.

We can't assume it's a retcon.

We don't know what time the dialogue is set.

Maybe, after Kung Lao is resurrected, he disappeared.

In face of a new threat, the "demon", maybe, Raiden asked him "where the hell have you been when I most needed you?".

But they just put in the trailer so we can discuss thinking only about his death. That's just marketing technique.

And it makes sense. Raiden is no fool, of course he knows where he has been, UNLESS, he disappeared after being alive again.

Its not a retcon, they won't change an award winning game's story.

I bet Liu is gonna sacrifice himself to Quan so that Kung and Kit can live. Then Kung can become the new MK champ to save Liu's soul.
 
Kitana looks absolutely fantastic. I'm glad for her fans. I just hope Mileena is in the game as well.

Goro looks great.
Kitana...well, i hope this was the last resurrected character and the last main roster MK9 returning one.

Fat chance. I'm convinced Jax is all but confirmed, and I don't expect them to leave Liu out when they're working so hard to please fans.

So why did people think that blue fan was Kung Lao's hat again?

Don't be a smug a-hole. It does look like Lao's hat on its side in motion.

They did clean the slate for the majority of the dead characters. I almost guarantee they will NOT bring back the likes of Sindel, Jade, Stryker, Nightwolf, Noob, Cyber Subzero, Shang Tsung, Kabal, Jax and one or two of the Cyborgs.

Your guarantees don't matter, especially when Jax is VERY, VERY likely.

It's incredible how many people have whined about MK9's story, and the game still won an award.
I remember how SO many forum members around the internet HATED that the heroes died!

And ironically enough, now there's people whining about the dead characters coming back.
Well, you know what they say: You can't please them all.

You're missing the point completely. :laugh:

People complained about the characters that died because those characters shouldn't have died in MK9 (IN THE FIRST PLACE), just for NRS to bring them back in a cop-put manner for MKX.
Why kill them off just to bring them back?
It cheapens and negates the otherwise good MK9 story.
That's the point.

after seeing the design of cassie and d'vorah I knew that nrs wasn't going to disappoint us with the female characters clothing, they finally listened to the fans. now I cant wait till my girl mileena is revealed! mk wouldnt be mk without kitana and mileena.
 
MK9's story was good but nothing award winning. Most characters like Reptile, Baraka, Sheeva and Ermac had little to no character development and personally to them. Reptile had a cool design but his character was ruined the story in my opinion. He never spoke at least once and did nothing got his ass kicked. I hope Reptile is more freshen out if he is in MKX.
 
OK let me start off by saying this was an awesome trailer!

Now my Cons:
- Kitana! Really? (In the prequel comics or in story mode they need to really have a good explanation as to how the all they characters they brought back are still alive...I mean a really good explanation)
- Wasn't this trailer suppose to shed more light on the story?

Now my Pros:
- Although im baffled by her return as well. I don't know what her role will be but she seems to have a more darker side to her which seems to suit her.
- Kung Lao doing the IP Man beatdown...I CALLED IT!!!!

- Kitana's costume. I think its the best she's looked thus far. A nod to the classic but refreshed and new
- Seeing Goro at the end walking out of the shadow...I just can't wait he look Bad Ass, like you should be afraid to fight him

MK9's story wasn't very good. Maybe it was alright, for an MK game, or a fighting game, or maybe even a video game. But in general... let's just say the people above pulling the "but it won awards!!!!!!!" card had me chuckling earlier.

I for one believe gameplay should take seniority over story. My past problem with seeing dead characters was not for story reasons, but because I thought they were killed to make room for the new.

Thank you for returning to me with a more mature response this time. Now we can discuss. ^^

I agree... if this hadn't been Mortal Kombat.
One of the main reasons I LOVE Mortal Kombat is because it is so full of interesting lore. However, as mentioned many times before, death doesn't have the same meaning in the world of Mortal Kombat as it does in the real world or in most other franchises. The MK team has, from the very start, had a specific explanation to what happens to the characters when they die.

1) If they are pure of heart and have fought for the good, they go to heaven. When gone to heaven, only in VERY specific cases, can you return. Johnny Cage returned after he was killed by Motaro, even if he had indeed gone to heaven, because Raiden needed his help to fight Shinnok. And thus he became mortal once more.

2) If they have darkness in their hearts and have done some bad things in their lives, they go to the Netherrealm, the hell of Mortal Kombat, and it has several planes... 7, if I remember correctly. However, Shinnok, being a fallen Elder God and now ruler of the Netherrealm, have found ways to manipulate souls and make them return to the plane of the living - an art he and Quan Chi knows how to do. Quan Chi has numerous times been seen making portals to where ever he wants to go, between all the realms (perhaps maybe except Heaven). Scorpion was the first one to return due to Quan Chi's help. Then Noob Saibot. Then Mileena. Then Reiko... you get the idea.

It is not an unnatural thing in Mortal Kombat for the dead to return to the living, either as a heavensent or a twisted undead, or even fully back to being mortal! That's the world of Mortal Kombat, that is how it is and how it has always been. So therefore, to complain about it NOW is just plain and simple ridiculous. The rules haven't changed. There's been some retcons here and there, but the rules remain the same.

One thing is to want alot of new characters instead of returning ones. That's a matter of taste.
Another is to complain about the returning ones having been dead in a past game, and now is back to life. That's something that shouldn't even be complained about.

That the devs have said one thing, and then done another... I can understand why people would be iffy about that, but they are the devs and they have the right to change whatever they feel like in their franchise. And again, whether you like it or not is a matter of taste, but that's how it is.
 
i think those punches kung lao was doing is part of his xray, he takes a break before he does the final hit and it switches scenes before he does the final "bone break"

I'm surprised nobody has noticed the giraffe neck on Kitana. It appears every human female will have it, lol.

I'll gladly put up with that if it means that the high heels and scantly clad costumes are gone.
As for now, thankfully, those ridiculous costumes are gone.
 
Looking at the amount of brown they use for her boots and accessories, plus the obscene amount of jewelry and the baggy pants she's definitely got that Persian vibe. Not to mention the heavy eye makeup. Her neck is a bit long though. Good on the design team for natural boobs, too.
