D'vorah stage fatality or animality??
 
Seems so, I'm dissappointed too after Ed claimed this MK would have the most amount of new characters. Actually turns out it's probably one of the games with the least new characters.

It 8 new ones which is a 3rd of the cast, how many new chars did the other games get, i know Deception got more

Of all the stereotypical gunslinging cowboys to reference, you went with that?

Yeah that is a weird decision, of all the gunslingers out there he's fairly unique. If this new character is half as interesting, I'll be happy to main him.
 
I have been anticipating Erron's official reveal for a while. i hope we don't have to wait too long. It seems weird we haven't gotten a trailer of him yet since it appears he is an underling of Kotal Khan.

Deadly Alliance had 11 new characters (a little bit less than half of the characters)

Deception had 9 new characters

Perhaps the DLC characters were included in the new character count.

Did this game just outdo Tekken's Selfie-Throw?

And yikes about Cassie's neck in that one picture. I guess that's the trade-off for passable female faces from NRS.

no? I just think it's kinda lame and tame in Mortal Kombat

This is a game that's starred the same blue and yellow ninja dudes since day one. Kano is Terminator. Johnny Cage is Jean Claude Van Damme. Liu Kang is, well, the Liu Kang guy. He goes "WAHHHH" like Bruce Lee. Just about the only original characters from the first game were Sonya and Raiden, and even then Raiden was a minor character from Big Trouble in Little China. Shang Tsung? Also from Big Trouble.

So... a gunslinger ain't exactly out of the norm.

Nice, a lot of people were asking for his confirmation and Erron's design is easily one of the best in the series already. Now please leak Liu Kang.

Also, yay Shinnok!

Edit: Wait, there are people complaining about Erron? Fucking internet, lol

I guess he'd fit better in Mortal Kombat II

new characters since then have been a bit more original looking in my opinion
 
For some reason no one has any info on liu kang. The last few characters got leaked but for some reason no one has anything on liu. Even goro was leaked today.

Thought that said "Enron". His fatality is reaching into an opponents chest and embezzling all the interval organs

Holy shit guys, did you just discover the western gunslinger archetype?

It's not so much that, as the idea that they basically co-opted it wholesale but added that MK ninja mask to make it fit the universe, so it's not very creative.

At least Overwatch put some space armor on their cowboy, even though that's not much better.

That is one very original character design. Haven't seen it anywhere yet
this year. Edit: Oh wait actually, Overwatch. lol

All I want is angry Fire God Liu Kang. I don't care after that.

To be fair there hasn't been many leaks. All these pics today are coming from the MKX hub on Xbox One, anyone can look at it. The rest came from (I'm assuming) a tester.

My hunch is Kang is an angry Fire God and a boss/sub boss at that, you have to beat him to unlock him, so testers and the likes won't have seen anything of him maybe (with NRS omitting him so he remains top secret).

Shinnok is awesome I just don't see him as the big bad.

wasn't it jamesmk who said that shinnok is the final boss? if so i am sure liu kang is sub boss.

Out of all the awful new MK character designs that have been released the past 13 years (back to ps2/Xbox era MKs) Erron looks pretty damn good to me. Depending on how he plays he might be my favorite addition since Kenshi.
