New classic skins revealed: MK3 Cyber Sub-Zero/UMK3 Sub-Zero unmasked

[robwill80]

...theres going to be ANOTHER Klassic skin pack since the first one is clearly titled KLASSIC SKIN PACK 1!

I'm going to be the devil's advocate for a moment - that number doesn't necessarily mean anything. The PS3 title "Heavy Rain" had one piece of DLC content called "Heavy Rain: Chronicle 1", and there wasn't any more after that.

The number means that the developer will consider doing more. It doesn't mean that they will definitely do more.

its not about him getting one before them, its just stupid that they gave him a retro outfit in the first place

Why is it so many people don't understand an alternate timeline?

They just put the same premise to use through the prism of UMK3. It doesn't have to make sense the games that existed before don't hold any sway in the MK universe now. They rebooted the whole thing. It makes perfect sense CSZ took smokes place so he gets the retro.
Ermac was a rumor and never in MK1 he got an MK1 Klassic. Skarlet will eventually get an MK2 Klassic.
People are treating this shit like its pure blasphemy when it isn't.

alternate timeline doesn not equal RETRO


they could just give him the name "Primitive Cyber Subzero" as the costume name, but calling him retro is just a joke


as retro doesnt have to do with the story, its means the old school games

 

[Osmodius]

he may fit MK9's new story

but RETRO means MK1,2,3. You cant just make a new character and pretend like he's been there since 1995. He still has never and will never be retro.

Retro
Noun
-Clothes or music whose style or design is imitative of those of the recent past

He's just wearing the old Cyrax/Sektor costumes. So it IS technically retro. However, his costume is not "Klassic" in the sense of him using it beforehand.

Oh boohoo. You disgust me.

I hope you rot in a corner. Not downloading because you didn't get what you wanted and boycotting a character that I'm sure will do great. You are going to piss off a lot of people and I hope you get shunned for that.

That's to all you people not happy because it's Cyber sub. I don't even play as him. Happy he got an alternate, a lot of people have been asking for one. It's free anyways so just shut up already.

people like you are going to make this all the more sweeter

Klassic Cyber Subzero = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ytCEuuW2_A

Well sorta because im just sour for not getting UMK3 Scorp this time around. Probably later on though it will be in a pack.

It is pretty kool how CSZ is getting a Hydro type costume, maybe thats CSZ's new codename in his robot form? Now that would be kool.

It's ok. Based on your attitude, I doubt many would want to play with you anyhow. If ANYTHING it makes it sweeter for us for it just filters out people like you. Thanks NRS =D

how are they pretending that he's been there since '95? just because they gave him the mk3 cyborg palette swap? so then by that very logic, they shouldn't have done the ermac, noob saibot and human smoke mk1 klassic alts. they're just pretending that they've been there since '91 by doing so.

like i said before, giving csz the cyborg mk3 palette swap meshes with the new timeline. he takes cyber smoke's place in this new, altered timeline. and i'm pretty sure that cyber smoke was a palette swap. you may not like the fact that he got the palette swap treatment, like so many others have before and will continue to in the future, but it is logical. lazy? extremely. cost effective? damn right. but no matter which way you slice it, it makes sense.

Classic UMK3 sucks IMO there was no need to unmask him, they ruined a perfect costume, but Classic CSZ looks indeed badass.

PS - 0:58 fail at CSZ's wire-hair

Thank you for clearin that up and gettin my back.
If a kid born in the year 2001 dresses in 80's style clothes people would say oh you look retro. Not hey you can't dress like that because you didn't exist in the 80's please stop.
Its just viewing the events of this game and CSZ taking Smokes place through the look of MK3. So it is retro! Boo-yah!
Haters gonna hate!

think what you will, but i have many online friends i play with and i'm actually a good sport, never cry or quite when i lose, never call out spam or OP character, but i will not have freddy on my game. I paid for it thats my right. have fun paying for freddy and never getting to use him, i wont be the only one, trust me. mark my words freddy and these crap past two compatability packs will be the end of DLC

 

[battle_scarz13]

Classic UMK3 sucks IMO, but Classic CSZ looks indeed badass.

Really? I love the look of the MK2 ninjas that's my favorite MK.
But I think the UMK3 ninjas look way cooler. Especially Scorpion.
And I like the UMK3 sub unmasked but I was hoping for his original MK3 look.

Yep. People need to learn words before getting all mad over some insignificant thing.

Haha, gracais.

 

[Mad Max Andrade]

Both costumes look badass. Kinda funny how, while we spent the last week thinking about what character would be paired with Subby in the last skni pack, no one considered pairing him with his cybernetic version...

This is just ridiculous man. Really ****ing selfish and ignorant.
You aren't the only person that sank money into this game. I've downloaded every character and the comp packs before I could get the characters. Because it isn't right to ruin another players experience online just because you disagree and wanna be a dick about it.
I might not like Freddy but ill still DL him to support the game and more possible DLC.
I hate ****in jason Vorhees but if they put him out it would be ******** if I didn't atleast get the comp pack. Its childish elitist ******** to ruin someone elses experience because of your petty opinion of a character.

Im sorry but you all are completly wrong about this. The RETRO costumes have NOTHING to do with the MK storyline. If they did, then in MK9 Story mode, Cyrax would have his MK3 costume, Sektor would have his MK3 costume, all the ninjas would look alike with their MK3 costumes...


the point of the RETRO costumes is to pay homage to MK1-3. It has nothing to do with the storyline or with the timeline (old or new) of the MK Universe, they are gimmicks (or easter eggs, so to speak) for those of us who have played the original games.

so no, it doesnt make sense to give CSZ a retro costume when he in fact did not exist in '95 when the game came out. i realize "timeline-wise" CSZ would have had the kind of costume, but like i said, if they were really that detailed about the background of the klassic costumes, then CSZ would have already had that klassic skin when he was introduced in the story of MK9.


should have been a Cyber-Smoke costume...

EDIT: let me explain what i mean a little more...
MK9 is a re-living/re-telling of MK1-3. Raiden didnt go back in time, only sent images to his past self. So up until Raiden
received those images, the storyline was completly the same. Meaning that the first time around (in MK1-3) Cryax, Sektor, and presumably all the Lin Keui cyborgs had the same looking deisgn to them. By this logic, when Raiden received the images of the future, at this point the cyborgs should have all looked the same (in MK9 just like they did in MK1-3). But Cyrax and Sektor (and late CSZ) all have individual unique designs. Therefore, the looks and outfits of the characters dont tie into their story at all.

So Sky Valley is right in saying that it doesnt make sense to call something Retro when in fact it didnt exist in the past. You guys are using the wrong context of the word "retro." As mentioned before, the retro costumes are just a gimmick to pay homage to the past games and those who have played them. The whole "CSZ was now in the timeline" doesnt make sense b/c the klassic retro costumes have nothing to do with the MK timeline.

Admittedly, the klassic skin doesnt look bad on CSZ (kind of a Hydro-esque look to him), but im not too happy that they chose him over Cyber-Smoke. It would be made exponentially more sense to give Smoke a cyber-alternative and give CSZ an alternative as well (maybe in a DLC pack with skins for all the DLC's) that was unique and not just a palette-swap.

Hm... Well, I guess my previous analysis still stands.

If ANYTHING it makes it sweeter for us for it just filters out people like you. Thanks NRS

In this game, there is no such thing as Cyber-Smoke.

 

[B13-Helghast]

Thank you very much for the link... and for the anti Freddy crew, stop nagging... and download those FREE comp packs so EVERYBODY that payed for their game (like you) and DLC get to play their favo game online... OR you can just prove that you are a egocentric person that denies other people's fun just because you didn't get what you want (yet) oooow it's like a little child that starts mocking and crying just because he doesn't get candy right before dinner. Pfff.
