Possibly Motaro Thread.

Hector just tweeted "WHAT THE **** IS A TEDORA" - so, maybe this Tedora rumour is BS and what we have here IS actually Motaro! ; )

Maybe Hector is denying it the same way that Ed Boon did, when he denied the first leak of the ERMAC studio picture.

Then a month and a half later .... Lo and behold .... Boom .... the EXACT Ermac render appears in a magazine ;-)

i was going to say that sounded familiar somehow, well either way Motaro in the new game would be so sick!
 
If the leaks are accurate and Kintaro's in the game, Motoro is 100% in.

I don't see NRS wasting the resources putting in the sub-bosses from MK and MKII, only to leave out the one from MK3. That'd be seriously half-assed and leave the game feeling unfinished.

I think Araknyd is referring to when the renders of Goro and Ermac were leaked and Ed Boon said on his twitter,"I don't get it, how is this a leak?"
Could be wrong though.

Exactly.

For all we know, Hector could be using denial to squash the fact that Tedora was leaked, just like Ed Boon tried to squash the Ermac leak.
 
I dont recognize the pet either way, i dont tihnk its motaro so tedora sounds most correct to me.
 
I hope that's not Motaro for 1 reason: Either that creature is hunched over and bipedal, or it has no arms (Motaro had 4 legs and 2 arms = 6 appendages. This creature, like "Minautaro from MKA, only has 4 appendages.)
 
I think that the possibilities of Motaro are a bit low....

Why?

Just think in the Goro and Kintaro models... if they created the shokan model for Goro and also the interactions with the other characters, I think it's much more easier to replace the skin and use the same model for Kintaro. Even, if they resize the model (including the organs and stuff), they could use it to animate Sheeva... all that makes sense for me.

Now... Motaro's creation would bring a completely new model and a very huge challenge... I think that's a lot more difficult to made the interaction of a quadruped creature with two extra arms as Motaro with the other characters... they should create a completely new model, organ dispositions and a new kind of animation for the interaction between "normal" characters and this boss, just imagine how and uppercut of a normal character would look realistic into a centaur.... in the plain 2D games as MK3 it really didn't matter too much... but now with all this realism, I think it would be a great challenge for NRS.

I think that complication forced MK creators to transform Motaro into a 2-legged creature in MKA, that just made everything much more easier to them because they just had to use an alternate skin in Moloch's model.

I think that the 4-legged Motaro has few possibilities, but if NRS really created him, and made his existence and interaction between characters possible in this game, I would be very pleased... but the previous games indicates me that it's difficult... they had to be convinced that the creation of his 4-legged model would worth the time and effort. If Motaro was created, it's more probably that they included him with 2-legs, but that would be dissapointing.

We just have 2 wait.
 
I highly doubt it'd be THAT difficult to make Motaro. Firstly, we've already seen centaurs created in current gen games like God of War 3. Not only that, you have to remember that the last game Motaro was in was Mk:Armageddon. Which had a SHITTON of characters in it AND it was limited to the ps2 and original xbox specifications , so naturally their memory space would be limited, and making a character with the complexity of Motaro would be a challenge. Now, I really don't see it as a problem what with the hardware we have this gen, plus the game utilizing the UE3 engine.. I don't imagine that they'd have too tough of a time creating a creature like him.

it wouldnt be difficult at all, i agree
 
Exactly.

It's not a leak, they showed what they showed intentially, In short, I'm confident Hector isnt trying to deny anything.
 
It doesn't look like Motaro. And that makes me sad :(

If Kintaro is in, Motaro is 100% in.
And if Goro and Shao Kahn are in, Kintaro is 100% in.

So -> Motaro is in.

Agreed. They could have just as easily showed the cover of the book as opposed to some random page. Furthermore they could've edited it to make it NOT look like Motaro. Gets ya thinkin', eh?
 
that thing looks exactly like motaros lower half with a bull head on it...I really hope thats not some motaro substitute

if they can make that 4 legged thing playable, dont see why they couldnt do motaro
