Roster Speculation

Nightwolf uses a spirit energy bow, though, this guy's bow is very much a physical one and looks to be a much bigger part of his moveset than Nightwolf's ever was. I'd much rather he be a brand new character than Nightwolf or whoever.
 
Is it me or the bowman seems to be onr of those mayans Kotal helped?

Also, he has some sort of helmet (a roman/greek helmet?) and I'm betting it's a gold helmet.
 
At first I thought it was a mayan, but now I'm wondering about the greek/roman thing... But his boots and bow don't look like those of a roman or a greek for that matter.

Well, I don't know... we shall wait and see.
 
Looking at that image, the character with the bow looks nothing like Nightwolf. I think the guy with the bow is Salazar and he is a totally different character then Erron Black.
 
According to a poster on MKOnline, in the Polish Magazine; CD-Action, it is confirmed that Kabal makes an appearance as a modification in the living towers mode, similar to Rain and Cyrax. It also mentions another modification giving the description that after the god of wind Fujin died, the elements went wild. The one who wrote the preview in the magazine also thought that Fujin may be the big bad. (Not sure how those two things work together though)

Here is a link to the original post: http://www.mortalkombatonline.com/content/forum/showmessage.cds?id=154792&page=1

And here is a link to the description of the magazine on the CD-Action website: http://www.cdaction.pl/news-40825/zawartosc-cd-action-032015.html

Remember, there were no scans or anything similar posted, and we only have someone's word to go off of unless someone else wants to buy the magazine and translate it. It does seem pretty plausible that this is legit though.
 
Well he could be in the game and then die in the story and that's the excuse to make that modification.

One thing doesn't discard the other.

Or maybe he's in and doesn't die and the modification it's just what it is, a modification, remember we got a Cyber Reptile in the Challenge Tower of MK9. Those things don't have to be canon.

I hope that's the case .
 
Relax, people. Even if true, it's a living tower mission, FFS. When have they ever been canon?

What doesn't give me hope of Fujin being playable are Kung Lao and Kitana having wind moves that look like they would belong to Fujin. That's what I would worry about.

You mean Kitana's fan lift?
She's had that since MKII, so I'm not worried about it.

As for Kung Lao, what wind move does he have? The hat control move?

Good point and also Kung Lao has a braided ponytail too (Maybe a stretch)

Kitana's fan lifts have been tradition, yes, but I recently read that her fan lift has been made versatile for one of her variations, in the same way as Sub-Zero's clone and Raiden's teleport. I can't find the source again, so I'll just refer you to the stream tomorrow. Maybe we see something. Point is, whatever I read gave me the indication of her fan lifts having properties that I would have associated with Fujin. I think they lift you up in the air for a certain amount of time and/or pull you in from range.

Kung Lao having whirlwinds that a) suck in the opponent and b) can move across the stage (they didn't show this in the stream for some reason, but it was mentioned by some sources - it could have been removed from the game, but I doubt it).

(Edit: It just occurred to me that Ermac's flying variation is also something I'd expect them to give to Fujin. But that might just be me.)

This all seems like stuff I would imagine Fujin having. Tornadoes that lift and hold you up, pull you in, etc, and a Fujin that can turn into a twister and spin across the stage.

I believe NRS is creative enough to make it work nonetheless, but I'm just pointing out that Kitana and Kung Lao have this stuff.

I think he means kung lao EX spin that creates a tornado effect that sucks you in. I agree with him, I thought about that during the stream like wow that move could be used for fujin.

I think the comics are a cool way to semi-confirm the characters that could be in the roster.

ill be ok if
Jacqui
Takeda
Erron Black

are the new characters that are left.
thats 7 new good characters altogether.

however I do want kenshi,Tanya,Fujin to return and wouldn't mind shinnok as a final boss.
