Re: Surprised we've not seen more Kenshi stuff, less than 2 days away.

Yes it seems they learned quickly which is good. I am pretty sure all these dlc people where done some time ago as well.
 
Re: Surprised we've not seen more Kenshi stuff, less than 2 days away.

I'm very happy that they're holding onto their shit this time. I love Kenshi and the secrecy they're draping over him is only furthering my anticipation. Tomorrow's gonna be a good day. =)
 
Re: Surprised we've not seen more Kenshi stuff, less than 2 days away.

Every one is so convinced that just because there is a character place holder over ???? that its going to be a character. Whose to say it isnt the first fatality pack or more likely another Kostume pack. They want you to know more DLC is coming but how would you illusrate a Kostume or Fatality pack and keep it secret? They cant throw up a shadowed out box or circle. So they used a blank model. Maybe they didnt show who the Kombatant is because it isnt one. Why not have kept Rain secret until they showed Kenshi? Im hoping for a character but Im not counting out the possibility of some other form of DLC.

They said he is " A new entrant to the MK tournament" its a character, besides above the shadows it says "New characters coming this summer", I dont know how can you dubt about it.
 
Re: Surprised we've not seen more Kenshi stuff, less than 2 days away.

I like the extra secrecy. I really hate spoilers anyways.
I hope Kenshi has a kostume though, I know Skarlet did but it disapeared.

EDIT: Nevermind, I just read the post you replied to.

Anyways, it would be false advertising if the 4th DLC character wasn't a character...

They said (I think it was ninjaboy66 [Rigo Cortez]) that we are getting Kenshi's MKast tomorrow, xbox user will not care since they are getting Kenshi at morning, but for us the PS3 users that are getting Kenshi at night, can wait for it.
 
Re: Surprised we've not seen more Kenshi stuff, less than 2 days away.

Very simple :

- Demo was hacked before the game release, some, 1 month before the official release, we all already knew about majority of secrets on it, hehe XD

- Skarlet was in WIP state, they (NRS) had not time to finish her, so, she has some stuff in the disc, what Xbox hackers found out, and next, exposing in Youtube ..... so, we already knew about 50% of Skarlet stuff before she come out , hehe :D

- For Kenshi, he has NOTHING recorded on MK 2011 disc, he is the first and pure DLC content, so, there is no way for people find information about him just exploring PS3 / 360 disc, so, everyone will only find out about him tomorrow, after doing the DLC purchase, or just downloading him (Season Pass).

true true. we'll probably get to see Kenshi's xray and fatalities after his release, he is pure DLC as yautjared very correctly said. glad Kenshi got his potential high, NRS didn't screw up any character so far :D I even like stryker in this mk, enough said :P can't wait for Rain now, we'll get to see his trailer soon and then his vignette :D for Rain though I like the secrecy, I think I'll only see those videos and not search up his xray or fatalities after his release.
 
Re: Surprised we've not seen more Kenshi stuff, less than 2 days away.

Before Skarlet came out, we saw her WIP alternate costume, her Babality model, her fatalities, X-Ray and ending cinematic. Either NS is getting their shit straight as far as keeping the info hidden, or people just aren't trying as hard with Kenshi. Or maybe all this stuff for Kenshi is out there already and I've just missed it. What's up?

There's a HUGE difference between Skarlet and Kenshi though. Kenshi is an existing character whom many will purchase regardless, as they enjoyed him in previous games. Skarlet on the other hand is a completely new character that people needed to be sold on before they would buy her. So people will be far more interested in finding that info for Skarlet than Kenshi.

It was specifically said in the Season Pass that it's four characters and eight klassic skins (two with each character). So the ??? is NOT going to be anything other than a character. Period.

From ninjaboy66 (Rigo Cortez) twitter

ninjaboy66: FYI, Its a holiday in the USA today so no MKast until tomorrow. Have a great holiday if you're in the US and an awesome Monday elsewhere.
 
Yay, can't wait for all the bandwagon Kenshi fans. I'm just gonna train with him in training and on expert ladder for a couple weeks till the noobs give up on him.
 
Meh, Kenshi, while cool, doesn't strike my interest as much as Skarlet and Rain did. Kenshi looks cool, but I think I'll pass on maining him.

Itll pass I hardly see anyone use Skarlet anymore after their repeating teleports stopped working on people ;)

Yeah, if I'm gonna take a character out for a spin online I wanna know a bit about them first. Training Mode and Ladder works well for that, plus it'll clear out the bandwagon. I like how you think lol. Soooo lookin' forward to Kenshi. =)
 
Re: Kenshi Vignette Released

Same as it was before? Yup, I like his story. The vignette rushed it a bit, but the story itself still seems like it'll be awesome. Where you hoping for a new take on Kenshi's backstory?

Yes. I was hoping Kenshi would get the same treatment as everyone else, a new story, but I guess not. Other than that, still a good story:).

Not everyone got a whole new story. Some things about their stories were altered, but they retained the same broad strokes. Maybe they'll do the same for Kenshi. Scorpion doesn't have a wildly different story in MK9, neither does Stryker. Their stories are explored more fully or altered in slight ways (Scorpion doesn't strike a deal with Raiden that he's coerced into breaking originally). Kenshi has a similar back story, but his original background is really what drove him to become a character that mattered. Where he goes from there could be changed, but his back story remaining the same is something I like and doesn't necessarily mean his story as a whole won't differ from the original.
 
Re: Surprised we've not seen more Kenshi stuff, less than 2 days away.

Skarlet was shown a lot before release because most of her was already on the disc.

Not only that but on the Season Pass ads it talks about "The CHARACTER's story is unkown" or something, pretty much implying that it's a character. I think NRS would be more then happy to publicly announce something like a Fatality DLC instead of keeping it a secret.
