I think it would be interesting to see him pop out in story mode from the living forest and challenge whoever your playing as during that time. Always thought it would be cool if they worked that in the story some how.
 
I don't get all the who ha over human Smoke specifically. He was only ever a grey Scorpion with less moves. I'll be fine with him as an unplayable.

I must have said this already too many times but.. it is not our fault the game's own company never took it seriously enough to not create clones or palette swaps or went too lazy on certain characters. a true fan of a character of any game can see his/her potential and dreams about it. after having seen how all characters are designed in this game, I'm positive human Smoke will be amazing as well and it will be worth revealing last of all. I also hope for his own moveset but like I said, that's the company's thing, not ours. if it were up to the fans, each game would reach its full potential in a matter of weeks with some brainstorm sessions between them.

and to answer the topic's question..

Spoiler:
I don't see how Smoke can be hidden.. we have:

1 - Johnny Cage
2 - Noob Saibot
3 - Baraka
4 - Cyrax
5 - Sonya
6 - Raiden
7 - Shang Tsung
8 - Kitana
9 - Kano
10 - Scorpion
11 - Smoke (human)
12 - Reptile
13 - Jax
14 - Mileena
15 - Sektor
16 - Liu Kang
17 - Jade
18 - Sheeva
19 - Kung Lao
20 - Nightwolf
21 - Sindel
22 - Ermac
23 - Subzero
24 - Stryker
25 - Kabal
26 - Quan Chi
27 - Kratos (guest slot on ps3)

bosses: Goro, Kintaro, Shao Kahn
'new': Quan Chi, Cyber Subzero, human Sektor [?]
not in: Rain, unmasked Subzero, robot Smoke, Motaro

since Quan Chi is hidden for sure, my guess is one of the slots remains blank and once you unlock him he gets in the select screen? the bosses are not playable or unlocked and playable via some other way? and you can only select cyber Subzero and human Sektor (?) via a certain way and not via the select screen? my guess is that the roster has the above 27 with Quan Chi's spot locked since he's unlocked via the achievement and MAYBE Smoke is locked as human too and unlocked somehow as well and then appearing in the select screen since there are just two bottom slots and from the characters they haven't shown us so far, Smoke is the most secretive one.
 
Spoiler:
well this thread is irrelevant now, due the the file extracts off the demo, we know smoke is in and is a playable human ninja with a great bio and great ending.
 
Spoiler:
ENDING-Smoke1=Shao Kahn's violent death shook the very core of Smoke's being and dislodged his earliest memories.
Smoke2=Tomas Vrbada was only a boy when he was abducted by an obscure cult and sacrificed to a demon. Burned alive, he returned to the mortal realm as an enenra, a creature of smoke and vapor. His captors were helpless against his shapeless form as he lashed out with rage, killing them all. His murder avenged, he returned to his human form, remembering nothing of his former life. Now aware of his true identity, Smoke understands he is no mere assassin. His destiny has been revealed. BIO-smoke=Originating from Prague, Tomas Vrbada was recruited by the Lin Kuei for his impressive ability to escape capture. Able to transform into a wisp of smoke, his talent has proved useful on countless missions. Smoke has no memory of his childhood. His only family is the Lin Kuei, more specifically the younger Sub-Zero, who is like a brother to him. It has been Smoke's hope that through the Lin Kuei he will discover his past--and the origin of his power.
 
Spoiler:
i found these in the leaked files, maybe some of smokes moves????
SMOKE_HIM_OUT_ITEM_1="Teleport"
SMOKE_HIM_OUT_ITEM_2="Smoke Cloud"
SMOKE_HIM_OUT_ITEM_3="Shake"
SMOKE_HIM_OUT_ITEM_4="Air Throw"
 
Spoiler:
No harpoon like move? that sucks :( it'll totally change his game play
I wonder if the smoke cloud is like Noob's cloud in MKt

i dont know if that is his whole move list, hopefully he has more and does have a weapon of some sort. i would hope so.
 
Damn no harpoon-like move. Maybe he'll end up having a weapon like you guys above me said. Can't wait to see him in action.
 
If he has no harpoon move, then that would differentiate the human Smoke's moves from a possible DLC Cyborg Smoke and robot harpoon.


(PLEASE NRS??? PRETTY PLEASE?? I NEED CYBORG SMOKE!)

edit: I really wouldn't care if a Smoke character is unlockable or playable from the start. I like unlocking stuff anyway.

See I would like to have human smoke because although he was really just a scorpion pallet swap there is so much they could do with him in terms of personality and new move sets. I suppose the same could be said about his cyber version as well
