** Character Bios/Endings, Stages, and other stuff revealed. **MAJOR SPOILERS**

[Blackcyborg]

thank you alot for this thread and trying to help people not get the story spoiled

I can't stand spoilers. lol So that's why I am trying to offer the content that isn't so much spoilers, but information on the game itself, or the characters in the game. Bios aren't really spoilers imo. Arcade endings and story stuff is. So that's why I am trying to keep a nice filter of stuff for those who wish to know a little more to scratch that itch or are curious about a certain character, but don't want to risk getting something ruined.

It really pisses me off that all this got spoiled. Why NRs puts all the coding for the full game, into an easily hackable demo...is beyond me. Everything, and I mean everything, has been leaked over a month before the game comes out. That ****ing blows. I hate it. However, I know I will enjoy the game regardless of what I find out, because it's Mortal ****ing Kombat, so I am giving in to the urge of looking at stuff. It's just depressing that this stuff was leaked. WB and NRS must be kicking themselves. Either they learn their lesson with the next game, or I doubt we will be receiving a demo ever again. Which is a shame, because the demo is gonna do wonders for the game for those on the fence or doubtful of the game's quality. I played it for 6 straight hours with a few friends earlier, and even the friend who loves MK's story but just couldnt get into the past couple of games, loved the demo.

Wow! Just read all of them. There is so many therioes in my head that its gonna EXPLODE!!

 

[Nathan]

Wow hold up I havent seen bios for cyborg sub-zero ? So what he is not in the game ? And i agree with ermacsdshit i hope u gonna be able to change the whole story just to make new one. Im getting confused right now

 

[MKASSASIN]

endings are not being posted in this thread(which i think is a good thing) so all of them are bio's apart from the one about stages

Lol O ok thanks man because I was a lil scared to read them

 

[Aldo Moreno]

................
I HATE MYSELF. I seen the the endings. I am stupid. You do not want to look at them. I know where I saw the endings! I won't tell you where tho.

Damn I feel like a krackhead! DON'T **** WITH THESE SPOILERS REAL MOTHER****ING TALK.

I think he is just a bonus character, or... he might be Elder Sub

Man wow, few things,

Spoiler:

1. Sheeva and Kintaro are in, I can't wait to see their designs
2. Motaro is out I suppose
3. Liking all the Lin Kuei bios
4. Smoke's bio is awesome, but I always pictured him as Japanese. They should have made him from originally from Scorpion's clan and captured as a baby by the Lin Kuei, that would explain his harpoon move or at least a throw back to his old pal swap days. I'm also 99% sure he is going to be human, his bio and Sub's bio hint at that.
5. Noob's bio leaves the door open for him not to be older Sub....
6. Sektor's bio makes me really think we are going to see a playable human version, although it will probably have to be unlocked first.

I won't encourage anyone to read the endings, but to be honest, none of them are really SHOCKING to the point where your face falls from your skull and your brain bursts from your cranium. But they are a tad different than what we are accustomed to seeing.

 

[Ricochetmatt]

I feel like I should stay away from this site until after release. lol

 

[Blackcyborg]

For those that wish to discuss spoilers, please keep them in the spoiler tags. Be respectful of others. Even if you don't mind getting spoiled, doesn't mean others wish to be.

With that said...

I wanna share a few thoughts on some people's bios:

Spoiler:

I love the direction they are taking with Cyrax and Sektor this time around. Making Cyrax more against the whole process much like he was before, but emphasized more, however his loyalty to the clan and knowing he will be killed if he tries to escape is an awesome story. That's why I love his character. He is good at heart, but is just kinda in a shitty spot, and his loyalty is screwing him over. I am sure we have all been in situations like that. So glad they are going to play that up more.

Sektor being the grandmaster's son is a great personality and backstory trait for his character. Pushing his desire for power and destruction even further. Willing to overthrow his own father just to get it. Makes him and Cyrax an awesome rivalry and opposite of each other.

Kano's bio is quite awesome as well. I like that he kinda absorbed part of Hsu Hao's story, how he used to be an informant for the Special Forces but betrayed them for a life of crime. His military knowledge and training makes him a deadly warrior.

I also find it interesting that they chose to make Kabal a full on cop. I liked his story before, but I am interested in seeing how this plays out.

 

[AlistairWonderland]

Well at least certain characters are confirmed now.

I want nothing to do with the endings, though.

Big misconception here!!! Let me try to say this without spoiling...um... just because the character has a bio posted, does not mean they are playable!!! Because I read everything, i noticed that not everyone has an ending which leads me to believe they are NOT playable. Of course I don't know for sure, but I think the only characters with endings are playable...

It seemed to me that ever one had at least 2 endings with Sub-Zero and Quan Chi having 5. Is that the case?

 

[NS922]

Of course I don't know for sure, but I think the only characters with endings are playable...

Not true, from what I understand.

 

[orbofuncreation]

This whole thing SUCKS! The bios are OK to read, a few surprises here and there but nothing shocking, but the endings...
I guess Ed Boon and co. are biting their hands right now...

 

[Axe]

I can't rep the OP again but it's nice to see someone who doesn't want to spoil the most major parts of the game for once.

[AlistairWonderland]

Not true, from what I understand.

Based on what was posted by whtillnvrb, the character(s) that I was thinking of didn't have an ending and isn't on that list, but there is also someone on that list that didn't have an ending and is on there as well. I don't know what to think lol

 

[jarvis653]

After reading all the character bios one by one, I'm even more excited about the game now. It is going to be amazing. I have to restrain myself from posting gibberish on caps lock.

They are definitely giving more depth and personality etc. to each fighter this time around. It's dfeinitely awesome, and each character feels so interesting. I just hope that the next game continues this forward, and we get to keep most of the characters from this one. I know of a few that die, but i just always hated that you wouldnt see a character for a couple games, and instead were replaced by multiple uninteresting characters. I'd rather see these characters be developed further, and stay involved, while itnroducing maybe 2-3 tops of new characters/or ones from the later games of course.

One thing that depresses me though...is the thought of not seeing these characters anymore or them being missing for a few games. The more fleshed out and personality they get, the more attached we are gonna get to them. I mean, we already have an attachment via nostalgia and favoritism from our childhood, but this is just gonna make it worse. It's gonna suck if they really do get killed off in the new storyline. I know of at least 3 characters that are killed off in story. I have no idea if they are gonna be brought back somehow, or if they are the only ones to die...but it's depressing to think that they cld be done for good.

Totally agree, besides we have a large enough roster as is, we don't need to dilute future games with crappy characters with horrible backgrounds. I'm really glad the MK team decided to go back to their roots and to do it so well

@Blackcyborg I agree that it's bittersweet to have such high quality characters, knowing that they might not appear in the next MK game. But firstly, I think MK9 has been built to last, and we'll be occupied with it for a long time to come; so I'm putting those concerns away for a good while. Secondly, if this is the level of quality we can expect now, then given the presumably large timeframe to make the next game, I think we can expect new characters to surpass the classic ones in terms of design. They won't benefit our nostalgia, but hopefully win us over enough to appreciate a new MK direction. I feel it would be best for the MK series to keep everything fresh, and show gamers that it can move forward and be successful at the same time.
