Reptile revealed!

I hope on the next live stream they go into detail about Reptile's variations because that reveal didn't cut it for me.
 
Well, my ideal list of characters returning is pretty much confirmed. Smoke would be still nice, but I'm not complaining if Reptile is the last one returning. Everything left is a plus in my books.
 
Fahk man. Reptile plays boss as hell. Very MK9'ish. His X-ray and Fatality are pretty sick! I'm assuming there's no more evolution for Reptile in this timeline since his body shape looks the same. The only negatives I see is the vest looking costume. Looks weird. Regardless, alts will be there. Could he play an important role this time around? I don't see him dangling on Kotal Kahn's balls.
 
Since Injustice give villains their own story chapters then I hope Reptile will get his own story chapter. Reptile in MK9 had no character development and no personality. It looks like he is working with Kotal Kahn and I wonder if he will keep on being a bad guy or not.
 
Design is a lot better than in MK9. The tongue moves are a nice touch. Not super crazy about the X-Ray, but I'm holding out hope for the last bit of that Fatality.

The thing I really didn't like about the trailer was the pre-fight banter. So much cheese in that dialog.

Although actually having Reptile talk again is a plus.
 
I've always liked Reptile, though I'm not a huge fan... I definitely prefer the human form rather than the lizard. He still seems sluggish in this game. NRS might do well to admin a higher damage count to counter the slower speed, imo idk.
 
Definitely was hoping he'd stayed out of the main roster this time around.
He looks like something I'd find in my backyard.
But I love his X-Ray and grab. His fatality looks familiar.
 
Ok, tbh, I had better expectations because of the great designs in MKX so far. I agree that Reptile is not really different from the MK9 version. First of all gameplay-wise.

I would like Reptile's green to be on his clothes rather than being his skin color. His skin could be pale and greenish. Like a snake's skin after shedding. MK4 Reptile was more of a snake than MK9 and MKX. In the new timeline he is a raptor. Don't know what he was supposed to be in DA. Maybe a iguana-crocodile-dragon or something.

His MKSM alternate costume was great. Imagine this with the MKX mask. I am not complaining. Reptile was the last MK9 character I wanted to return for MKX. And we still didn't see his variations or how they change his appearance. Don't forget the alternate costume. Maybe it will be like in the comic. His head is perfect tho.

The second is a palette swap of Scorpion but I love it. Such a direction would have been great BUT maybe I should accept that he is not a human ninja anymore.
 
The game takes place in a Civil War, probally most of the time.

It seems that the most tribal adjectives are arising on every character.

Kotal and Reptile uses bones on their outfits, and, whoever is the longboew person, the weapon is using bone-like structure.

Ferra/Torr use feathers, fangs and less armor. Outworlders are more indigenous, that gives a richier ambient to Outworld than before.
