Do you guys think when the Rain trailer drops tomorrow. That the 4th DLC character will be revealed @ the end of the vid? Like they showed Kenshi and Rain as the next DLC characters @ the end of Skarlets Gameplay trailer? Or will NRS keep it a secret until Rain is released?

I don't think we'll get anything new in the trailer, apart from Rain himself. Rigo has been talking about it on Twitter today, and he's basically said the trailer is "all Rain". He also mentioned an additional trailer for the "Blueberry and Lime" classic costumes that's coming up soon.

Why not add a cyber scorpion and the zombie version of Liu Kang? I already dont like having 2 spots for Sub Zeros, dont want to waste another spot for yet another Smoke character either.

cyber smoke is an already stablished character that has been around since mk3

cyber subzero and zombie lui kang are some of the most hated characters because they are a discrace to the classics. No one wanted them. Cyber smoke was created roughly around the same time as original smoke, not long afterward. So he is more of an alternative to Human smoke unlike Cyber Subzero who only recently showed up. People have always acknowledged Smoke as having 2 versions, that's what made him unique, people will hopefully forget Subzero ever had a robot version eventually.

and comparing a "Cyber Scorpion" to Cyber smoke is a very foolish thing to say. there is no such character as cyber scorpion. While cyber smoke is an old school character. I honesly blame cyber sub zero's inclusion for people's overall unintrest in Cyber Smoke's inclusion as DLC. They seem to have grown tired of Robots, and its all because cyber subzero........I ****ing hate this character

I'm hoping it's Tanya; because of her and, Rain's treachery is the reason MK exists.

No. Rain and the 4th DLC character were revealed in Skarlet's vignette, not her gameplay trailer. And NinjaBoy66 confirmed that the gameplay trailer for Rain is all about... Rain.

It's more than likely that the reveal of the 4th DLC character will come in either two scenarios: one, they will annouce them by releasing the render of them the Friday after Rain is released, or they will just wait until the Monday after Rain is released, where the identity of the 4th DLC character will be revealed with their gameplay trailer, to prolong the hype surrounding them.

I hope not. I'd rather be surprised!

Re: 4th DLC Character revealed? No Face?

It's an Oni and it also appears in Goro's Lair (two variants are in the game files, "_GL_ONI" and "_PTB_ONI", obviously for the two stages). It would have likely posed some animation problems, specifically for X-Rays, had they included it as a Challenge Tower NPC.

Of course, there are plenty of challenges in the Tower that you can't use X-rays to begin with (or any moves beyond a specified one). So they would have just been scrapped to trim it down to 300 (Boon and company have said they wanted initially like 1,000 challenges).

Cyber Scorpion is a horrible idea and Zombie Kang was terrible, too, but is Cyber Sub-Zero really that bad? I honestly don't get the sheer hate for him when we a playable flesh version right alongside him. It's only an aesthetic changeup! There's so many other moments in the MK series that were much worse, like Raiden getting corrupted, Hsu Hao, Sindel's murderous rampage, etc.

Maybe it's they fear because Cyber Subby will completely replace human Sub-Zero, and not really the character itself. Which is justifiable; I certainly don't want Cyber Sub-Zero to completely replace him, either. But NRS knows its boundaries, people. Human Sub-Zero's image is way too strong for them to change it for a simple twist in the storyline. And this is MK; nothing is permanent. Trust me, they'll find some way to turn him back into a human eventually, or maybe even find a way to bring the OG Sub-Zero, Bi-Han, back and assume his own identity again. I think are just being paranoid for no real reason.

Re: 4th DLC Character Discussion~ All posts related to it go here.

The whole "blueberry" and "lime" identities for the klassic skins releasing with Rain is killing me. I honestly can't see it being anyone other than reptile/jade or subzero/kitana. The 4th character i'm really hoping for Robo-Smoke. If it were Tanya or Frost, wouldn't it had been a female shadow with the ??? underneath?

Re: 4th DLC Character Discussion~ All posts related to it go here.

It think the chars classics are gonna be jax and sonya, but since the dlc download classics apart from from the orginal 7, seem to be all copys of each character pre patch, so no one is gonna want to use jaxs (if it is his) because pre patch he was wear and post patch he was buffed up. They need to fix that. And honestly cyber sub zero was a great change, I never liked the orginal sub zero and I honestly think the cyber subzero is just a refined version of him, sub zeros more of a zoner and csz isn't, and again it makes sense as to why they would do this since mk9 is a different timeline and to my understanding smoke gets turned into a cyborg insted of sub zero. Which would also mean why would they release a character that has no relevence to this time line and contradict everything that happened in this timeline. So I honestly think there isn't going to be any cyber smoke as dlc

If it were a female placeholder shadow, then it would be too easy to guess who it is. People are putting too much thought into a simple shadow.

And I swear, if I hear one more person suggest the ninjas to get more klassic outfits...

Re: 4th DLC Character Discussion~ All posts related to it go here.

I get that Cyber-Smoke would complete the MKT roster, but due to the new time line he doesn't exist. I'd rather have the DLC be something different, we already have human smoke. Im hoping for Fujin, Tanya, or Reiko.

Well, it would just seem that if the placeholder shadow would be female form if Tanya or Frost or whomever.
And as far as the "blueberry" and "lime", I wasn't suggesting the ninjas get more klassic outfits (even though I would love that). I'm just trying to guess who they are. Boon stated in a tweet a long time ago that Jax and sonya probably would be the only ones without klassics, so that doesn't leave much to choose from.

I just don't like the MK1 skin on Ermac, all I'm asking for is his UMK3 costume

Boon says a lot of things.


And the ninjas are immediately ruled out because they've already received klassic outfits. I think it's best just to not speculate too much and just wait until Friday when we get the trailer for the klassic outfits, because at this point, I doubt it'll be anybody that we're thinking of. Same thing with the 4th DLC character.

I hear you, dude. He wasn't even in MK1, but I'm guessing they used it because of the "error macro" glitch. My favorite game of all time is Mortal Kombat Trilogy and if they included the MK3-MKT skins in there I would be so so so stoked.

Hahaha, your right. Boon does say alot of things..along with never responding to my tweets. The 4th character I really want to know who it is but the klassic skins are killing me. Oh well, at least we get to see what Rain is packing tomorrow. *crosses fingers for his X-ray to have the 'round the world kick in it*

I do not think Cyber sub will replace Human sub, that would never happen, however I do fear Cyber sub will indeed replace Cyber smoke forever as the 3rd robot. Theres people that argue that Cyber smoke shouldnt be added as DLC because he wouldnt fit in the story. NRS could have easily made Smoke turn into a robot during the story insead of Subzero, but they didnt. More proof that they are possibly trying to replace cyber smoke with cyber sub

sorry to sound so conservative and narrow minded, but it's true. Bad things do happen when they try
and **** with the original formula, and this is a prime example.

If Ed Boon went out of his way to mention them, part of me wonders if he just did that to throw people. Granted that would seem a bit much just for costumes. but never know. Personally I would love to see Klassic Sonya. for a "lime" character, she is the only one I can picture. Reptile/Jade seem to dark to be "lime" and already got 2 additional costumes. for Blueberry MAYBE sindel, but they pair their picks, so who would go with her?

something I hope they do down the road, if they do enough klassic costumes, add the option to have them enabled for story mode. I think that would be a fun easy to add feature

as for the mysterious 4th character, i dunno but I am waiting to know... NOW lol. I would love for them to pick Tanya or Reiko mainly. But i have faith in NRS to make a good choice.
