And who is Ninjaboy?

Anyway... Ed Boon says a lot of things. So don't think his word is always solid. But you may be right. I don't know. I just get the feeling that the ??? character isn't even officially decided on. They probably have it narrowed down to one or two characters, though.
NinjaBoy is Rigo Cortes; he does the video editing for NRS. Also, Ed Boon says a lot of things, yes, but I'm pretty sure he wouldn't lie about something like this.

Whatever the case they may be, since the unannounced character is a new character, I'm pretty sure the new character will be male.
 
Re: Do you think the mystery Kharacter will be a brand new person in the MK universe

You guys are all idiots! The "mystery" fighter is obviously MK's most beloved character, Mokap!!! It makes perfect sense, saving the best for last. C'mon guys grow a brain :roll: J/k:laugh:

Seriously I think it's gonna be Reiko or Tanya. Possibly Fujin. I'd like it to be Shao Kahn but I highly doubt it. If it's a guest character I'm guessing Jason but I hope it's not sense I want to see actual MK fighters before anymore gueast characters.

I think that it would be kind of weird to have a new character as dlc, I hope NRS will wait till mk10 for new characters

Re: Do you think the mystery Kharacter will be a brand new person in the MK universe

Really all we need for DLC:

1) Kenshi: best character post MKT. Amazing story.

2) Rain: complete the MKT cast.

3) Cyber Smoke: complete the MKT cast.

4) Fujin: I want to see another god aside from Raiden.

Skarlet, Reiko, etc are all fine. But I don't see the potential for a great moveset in them as I do in the four characters I mentioned above. Psychic sword manipulation, water manipulation, wind manipulation, and MK9 Smoke on cyber steroids.

I love Kenshi and am really excited to see the alterations they made to him. Rain has a lot of potential if NRS puts some work into him. Fujin could be a really cool character. Cyber-Smoke would be cool, but I'm not sure I find him necessary since we already have Smoke. I do like the way Skarlet's shaping up and would be willing to swap her out with Cyber-Smoke but overall I wholeheartedly approve of your list.

From Boon's twitter:

Some guy: I think the last DLC is Tanya because she's in the background, am I right? You know i'm right!
Noobde: Nice try :)

I hope she is not the mistery DLC, and fortunly Boon's tweet hinted she is not.

I think the secret char will be new.
 
Re: Do you think the mystery Kharacter will be a brand new person in the MK universe

I think it should be Reiko. He is in the Army of Shao Kahn and I really dug his moves in MK:A. Plus, in Story Mode. Shang Tsung says at the Koliseum, "The next fight will be...Kenshi and Reiko!"

Anyone need a link? Just search it on youtube.
 
Re: Do you think the mystery Kharacter will be a brand new person in the MK universe

I wanna see a white ninja as the dlc if it's a new character if they are going to bring a character back it should be Cyber Smoke or Chameleon the only ones missing from MKT

Didn't really sound like hinting against her, lol, just Boon's signature trolling. Though Tanya's not my least favorite DLC possibility, but there are definitely characters I'd like more.

Appreciate it! I agree, we do already have human Smoke. But, in my opinion, Cyber Smoke is a must. He completes so many sets. He would complete the MKT cast. He would complete the entire Lin Kuei being turned into cyborgs. Etc.

Also, gameplay wise, having human Smoke does not mean that there is no room for Cyber Smoke. Look at gameplay videos of human Sub-Zero vs Cyber Sub-Zero.

My idea for gameplay:

Cyrax is a faster rushdown/mixup character, while human Sub-Zero is a slower zoning character. Cyber Sub-Zero plays like a Cyrax (faster & rushdown/mixup), but with Sub-Zero specials.

They should utilize the same principle with Sektor and Cyber Smoke, but in reverse.

Sektor is a slower zoning character, while human Smoke is a faster rushdown/mixup character. Cyber Smoke should play like a Sektor (slower & zoning), but with Smoke specials.

My idea for a movelist:

Ditch Human Smoke's Smoke Towards, Smoke Away, Smoke Bomb, Teleport, and Air Throw.

Teleport Uppercut
Straight Frag
Up Frag (above)
Up Frag (behind)
Up Frag (in front)
Invisibility
Shake

If he used some of Sektor's moves like Cyber Sub-Zero does with Cyrax, that would mark the return of Cyber Smoke's teleport punch

The frags would have the same properties as human Smoke's Smoke Bombs, but they would travel similar to Sektor's missiles. They'd make a noise like this when launched. And a noise like this when they hit. That would be so awesome. He would feel like a walking artillery tank.

The frags would make Smoke a true zoner. The shake would still keep Smoke as a counter-zoner. Which would mark the first true zoning and counter-zoning character in MK9. Slow Cyber Smoke down a little and you have a pretty balanced character that pays homage to the chracters he is based off of, but still has an original gameplay style.

Oh yeah, having Smoke doesn't mean Cyber-Smoke is unworthy of a DLC slot, but I really like what they've done with Skarlet and that means that both Fujin and Cyber-Smoke wouldn't be able to make it within the first four DLC slots. I'd love to see Cyber-Smoke, but I just felt there'd be a bit more diversity with Fujin as compared to Cyber-Smoke. If it comes down to only one of the two characters coming out though, it's really win-win for me. I'm game for both of them.

I read all your Cyber-Smoke ideas in the thread you made, there's some really cool potential. I don't feel like re-typing my response, lol, but gave some feedback in the thread. I'm really hoping they put some thought into Cyber-Smoke if he comes out. He can be more heavily based in MK3-era Cyber-Smoke or redesigned more heavily, but I want them to make sure they do right by the fans and give us a fully-formed fighter.
 
Who the 4th DLC Kharacter will be?

I searched around in the forum and did not find a poll specifically like this one, so I decided to post it.

My personal choice is Fujin, judging from some videos people that hacked their MK9 games posted on Youtube, but of course that could be just NRS throwing people of.

If you choose Other instead of the other 6 options, please post with your choice.
 
Re: Who the 4th DLC Kharacter will be?

I heard "Fujin" in some hacked version of the game.
I think the 4thDLC is Fujin.
 
Re: Who the 4th DLC Kharacter will be?

atm, I'm torn between new character and a guest character. it makes no sense for them to hide the name if it's a known character. if it's not a new one, due to the silhouette I'd say cyborg Smoke
 
Re: Who the 4th DLC Kharacter will be?

Fujin, Reiko, Cyber-Smoke and New character are the options I'd like (any of them are fine to me), though I vote new char because it was already stated with the season pass announcment that is gonna be a new char in the MK universe.

I dont want Tanya or Shinnok.

Shinnok should be saved in shadows for the next game IMO, and Tanya doesnt have anything interesting.

I think Tanya can become interesting with a full revamp. they didn't screw up anyone in this mk after all. btw dude, welcome back :D and also, wtf, didn't you hate Kabal? :P now you put him in your sig? :P glad you changed your mind, he's awesome :D
