redditor on gamestop;they're saying a new character will be announced on 4/14

[TheDeaconBosco]

A few years ago, I heard that Gamestop employees were saying that Andre the Giant would be in WWE'13, and it turned out to be a lie.

Bottom line I'm not trusting anything that doesn't come out NRS' end, and even then I'd have my doubts.

Thirty-two hours until the release of MKX in Australia. The anticipation is killing me.

im waiting for the Aus release too.. and its killing me too

 

[Cryo]

The 'ninjas' (et al.), on the other hand, are all literally generic also-rans whose un-evolving selves are becoming more at home in Mugen than MK

Lol this guy is delusional. Stuck in 1995.

 

[rocky]

so assuming it is indeed baraka like many are speculating
i wonder what his variations and alts and fatalities are like

Dude, its not Baraka. He is a peon that took up a roster spot for far too long. Having him in would be like having a generic Lin Kuei or Shirai Ryu take up a roster spot.

Jesus Christ, you are beyond tedious at this point. I can only assume you are doing this to troll.

1. Opinion and the character eliciting such animosity within you should tell you how effective and well-designed he in fact is for a boss. Do you think anyone will remember Seth or even Blaze like they do Kahn...? The 'ninjas' (et al.), on the other hand, are all literally generic also-rans whose un-evolving selves are becoming more at home in Mugen than MK -- neither hot nor cold, just spat out; iteration after iteration.
2. Nonentities hardly known and even less likely to be known when overshadowed by Jason and Predator. (see: Skarlet)
3. Seriously. Ask any games company which demographic they'd most like to corner and it would be the CoD crowd. Even From Software (Souls series) said as much, of all developers! They're a game producers' wet dream: undiscerning / easy-to-please, willing to swallow a rehash every week, will lap up DLC like it's chocolate-coated crap and as expansive a group as could be hoped for in this industry. A perfect target demographic for NRS! imp:

1. Yes, for a boss. And he should stay that way. Forever. But that doesn't mean he should be the boss of every single MK game. And you called the ninjas generic? They have been constantly redesigned and reconstructed to stand out individually among the others. If you learned to count in grade school, you will see there are only four ninjas. Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Ermac, and Reptile. To call these four characters generic suggests serious ignorance on your part.

2. You obviously have trouble reading as well as counting. Tremor and Tanya were the most requested. Yes, Jason and Predator will be popular. But the fact that Tremor even made it in the game is noteworthy. You can't deny that. They took what the fans wanted and crafted DLC that WE want. Most companies pander to this "Call of Duty" crowd you mentioned.

3. This is a fighting game. The last Mortal Kombat came out in 2011. It is now 2015. The last game came out four years ago. Count with me, since you are so terrible at it, 1-2-3-4. How on Earth does that cater to the CoD crowd? They get games every year. Mortal Kombat is not an annual series. And downloadable content is twenty dollars less than a season pass for CoD. Yes, a developer shoots for as many customers as they can. That's what a business does. But pandering to the CoD crowd is preposterous.

In conclusion, please remove your head from your ass.

Dude, YOU are the only one speculating this. The rest of us (well, most of us) are thinking it could be Fujin, if anyone.

not just me. i noticed lots of people in the youtube comments that are all thinking baraka will be in the game day 1 and fujin will be unlockable in the game somehow

 

[Ermac210]

Maybe is Stryker, you know, a super relevant character in MK, as many others who were named here.

wouldnt surprise me.

NRS just love puttin dem Gun characters in MKX

 

[Rezound]

Forum life is so much better with those 2 guys on the ignore list, the only time I see their posts is when they are quoted, and unfortunately they're still both spitting out the same garbage/troll bait. I hope when I'm 30 (Rocky) and 46 (DeBane) I'm not trying to troll people on the internet... that's just sad and pathetic.

On topic though, not sure how trustworthy that info is lol, BUT I'm still holding out for Fujin, waiting for hearbreak.

 

[TheDeaconBosco]

How about they bring back a real Monster!

 

[Demetrius]

Well, the thing is, Fujin would be impossible to datamine prior to the game being launched; his model is already in the game, as are his animations, but the thing is is that anyone who said "Oh hey, I found stuff in the game for fujin" would just be told "Oh yeah, he's an NPC".


I'm still seasoning this tale with a grain of salt, but I'm starting to hope NRS, you sneaky snakes!

 

[Kitty_55]

I hate waiting the day before release. Kinda glad I have a killer migraine to just sleep the whole day off.

Ka-Pow!

Night folks! Despite it's 9:03 in the morning. Screw GameStop!

Rezound just called Ed Boon sad and pathetic
CONFIRMED!

 

[DeBane]

1. Yes, for a boss. And he should stay that way. Forever.

He's been a playable character a number of times and just because you do not like him doesn't mean others do not or should be deprived of the opportunity to play as him. In any argument for diversity, Shao Kahn would win every time over the burqa clad ninjas palette swaps.

To call these four characters generic suggests serious ignorance on your part.

That's pretty much the very definition of the word 'generic'. Dictionary.com it.

You obviously have trouble reading as well as counting. Tremor and Tanya were the most requested.

Most loudly requested and most requested are not the same thing. The NRA are loud, but a return to the Wild West is not what most in the U.S. citizens want / support. ...At least, one would hope not.

3. This is a fighting game. The last Mortal Kombat came out in 2011. It is now 2015. The last game came out four years ago. Count with me, since you are so terrible at it, 1-2-3-4. How on Earth does that cater to the CoD crowd?

Not sure what you're getting at there (besides a poor attempt at sarcasm). But MKX is MK9 + Injustice, in case you didn't notice. The "4 years" was not 4 years at all.

In conclusion, please remove your head from your ass.

Sure. right after your take you generic mask off and stop being a mindless ninja clone. :top:

 

[Demetrius]

I kinda wish Sheeva had as much care put into her as Goro did; Sheeva should be Playable Goro, Reiko should be Playable Shao Khan, but neither Goro or Khan should be playable.

I couldn't disagree more.

 

[Kanashimi]

So it seems IGN had posted something up about Baraka last night when I checked today it is gone, it was listed with all the revealed (playable characters) NOT with the NPC's anymore. Now it is back to NPC!

Man I think its going to be Baraka, I hope its not but we'll have to see tomorrow for the secret release.
