liu kang role?

Shaolin Monk win pose.

V shaped covering over the chest.

Headband.

Takeda: Headband. No shaolin monk win pose (my god why would he do what Liu Kang has done like... EVERY DAY?!). No indication of a v shaped tunic over his chest when he wears the headband. DAMN man. It's not Takeda. Deny that it's Liu all you want. That's healthy skepticism. But claiming that picture is Takeda because you refuse to acknowledge the color of the headband is ludicrous. WHY would Scorpion's clan pose like Liu Kang, EVER?

Here's your evidence. I don't like Liu Kang either but there's no point on being in denial.

Scorpion has a fireball so everything good about Liu Kang has been salvaged but he's still in the game, wether we like it ot not.

3 resurrected characters out of 12 dead is not "literally everyone else".


Only Kitana, Kung Lao and Jax have been resurrected.

Fixed.
13?
Noob Saibot was never confirmed dead in MK9.
If a wraith like Scorpion can survive being in the Soulnado, then Bi-Han also has that possibility.

As for Sub-Zero in MKX being resurrected, for all we know it could also be Bi-Han or a NEW Sub-Zero altogether, in which case Sub-Zero wouldn't be resurrected.


Either way 3 out of 12 being resurrected is 3 too many for me, but I do think that Liu will somehow be playable.

I didn't refuse to acknowledge anything, go back and re-read my post if you care to. All I stated was that I feel that character shown in the picture is Takeda. Sure the pose is questionable, but I'm throwing this out there and state that not everything in this game is final. Because unlike you, I'm basing stuff off of what we've seen so far. We've already seen Takeda and Kung Jin, two characters who have headbands on their heads. Liu Kang has yet to even make an appearance anywhere at all. He's still being thrown around these forums as a rumored character.

Until there is significant proof that he is indeed going to make an appearance in this game and IS a playable character, I'm sticking to that the statue picture is Takeda.

Dislike it all you want, be my guest.

Does the source that leaked Kano count as actual proof?

Not really. Nothing has shown with this character at all, not even in the comics. You'd think he would play a big part in that if he's supposed to be back, and alive, but there has yet to be anything touched with this character, not even a name drop.

I believe Sonya and Cage because we HAVE seen them in the trailer (they appear as knocked out (or dead?) in one part of the story trailer), I believed they were right from the start because they were the only two left alive and it would be stupid for them to just end it with them in 2011. There has literally been nothing on Liu Kang that states that he's even alive to begin with. Heck, Rain, a character so many think is nothing but a blatant joke, has left his mark in the comics AND in the trailer. I didn't think he was going to be in this game at all, but look what we have here.

So, I am standing where I am with this point. You can all disagree with it if you want to.

Dude. It's NOT Takeda. Why would Takeda have Liu Kang's winning pose? The only one that that would make sense with would be Kung Jin or MAYBE Kung Lao and neither of them look like that. Kung Jin has some kind of helmet on his head unless that's an alternate costume in which it might be. But drawing a conclusion that Scorpion's apprentice is posing EXACTLY like Liu Kang is just silly. Maybe it's not Kang, but the pose that character is holding betrays your conclusion that that's Takeda.
 
Takeda can surely be ruled out though. That is NOT a good guess. Kung Jin or Kung Lao MAYBE. But not Takeda. It looks nothing like him at all. Saying it's pixelated is too convenient for hyper skeptics. There IS a shape that can be determined in the picture. If we can make out that that's a head band and that the pose is exactly like Liu Kang's pose, then yes... there's a FEW people we can speculate with any accuracy as to who is it. But Takeda is not one of those people.

Dude, stop calling me dude, please.

It looks like Takeda, this is MY opinion on it. You don't need to keep sitting here and try to get through to me when I've stated numerous times that I'm staying with this.

I am not saying it is a fact (and I really haven't), since I don't even know if this is Takeda, but I am not going out on a limb and saying it's Liu Kang when I have yet to even see this character's name be brought up in the comics. I am and have been merely stating that since we've seen what Takeda looks like, I feel that this is him. Am I right? No, am I wrong? No.

This is, what Incubus said, speculation. And as of this moment, I am mainly speculating that this is Takeda. If you think this is Liu Kang, good for you. I just don't see it.

Now, can we agree to disagree, or am I going to keep seeing you trying to argue how it isn't over and over again as a way to debate? I've already seen your reasonings against how this is Takeda, and since I've taken it with a grain of salt, fine.
 
okay i get your point you think it takeda while it think it liu kang untill we both proven other wise it still specualtion right now until the last the fighter is reveal let specualte for now
 
Lol @ the "doesn't even look like Liu Kang" comment! It may not be Liu Kang, but it certainly looks like him.

This already looks like that time when people were really trying to make everyone to believe that obvious Sonya pic for the Special Forces was Cassie LOOOL!

Dude, watch the second picture too. They look the same.

Stay in the denial you are going to be dissapointed when you get the game and see it is true.

Same outfit...

The only way I'm ok with Liu Kang being in this game is if he becomes a pissed off Anti-God of fire! Him being a sub boss or a final boss would work for me. Meaning he doesn't take up a character slot but is still in the game.

Not the same outfit. Not the same gauntlets, shoulder armor, collar, hair, or head band. you are basing a lot on a blurry, muddled colored picture. sorry I don't buy it. Like i said, nice try

You can't see the guantlets that good but the shoulder armors are the same, and how is not that the "same headband"? a headband is just a headband, it is the same, and the hair is the same the difference is that in one image it is being blown by the wind.

I don't want Liu Kang in the game as much as you don't, but I'm not blind... Because you've got to be blind to not distinguish Liu Kang's silouette.

I'll be honest, he may not be Liu Kang, I might be wrong. But chances are I'm not. There's too much evidence in favor of that guy being Liu Kang.

I'm just not seeing what you're seeing. there is a slight resemblance but i'm not convinced its liu kang. I don't see the shoulder armor, i dont see the gauntlets. I have nothing against liu kang either, i just dont think its him. i think people are really reaching on this one
 
Why are you EVEN trying to compare this leaked pic to Fire God Liu Kang from MK2011? What makes you think NRS is going to design him the exact the same way with the very same outfit? Onaga in Reptile's ending in DA looks nothing like Deception Onaga. I think it's pretty obvious that's not Takeda, but Liu Kang, we just have to wait for the official reveal.

If you actually think, for a minute, that NRS is not going to bring Liu Kang back in X after pretty much every playable classic MK1 character being confirmed, then you are very naive... Not to mention Kung Lao and Kitana being back again...

At times I question how some people come up with these conclusions. I don't see at all how a bunch of returning characters being confirmed for X automatically announces another character to be in this game. I really don't see how that works. It's just like arguing on Testyourmight where people were saying that based on the outfits so-and-so is wearing, they're dead because it's not a "new" outfit.

We've seen this before with Deadly Alliance. We've had the original cast appear in that game, and Liu was killed off.

I don't see how people thinking that Liu's not returning despite we have a bunch of returning characters is being naive. If he's in, he's in, if not, oh well. But his appearance alone should not be determined by how many returning characters we have. It's based on how the story goes and if the writers feel it's necessary to put him in.
