Skarlet wears a wire-thong

If you've played Skyrim, it's called Dovah floss.

 

[TheSpore]

got to polish up your MK history

Not sure if you got that reference

 

[Slymind]

What makes you think it's Havik?

Twisted letters might by an allusion to Chaosrealm and Havik has a cameo in Noob's end in MK9, and apparently Havik is one of the most well received post MK3 characters.

That's what I thought too but the name hotwire sounds more DC ish than mortal kombat

There is a ninja literally named "Subzero", so I don't agree with that statement.


Hotwire sounds like a cyborg, so i'm hype.

---

Hotwire actually sounds like a cool name for a character if that's indeed what he's alluding to. Maybe some sort of Sektor/Cyrax hybrid.

Dem missiles into bomb resets doe.

It could actually be a brand new cyborg called Hotwire (Either that or Sektor are my guesses)

Ed boon is learning Scottish

[aldazo]

HA HA. TU ES LENTE. (That's actually an insult AND YOU'LL NEVER KNOW WHY MUAHAHAHAHA)

Lento, not lente,

But that character concept was so right...

The fact that this got an article and 4 pages already is amazing. Ed Boon is probably laughing his ass off

You guys realize Boon is an actual person who tweets about normal people stuff right?

You do realize every time he gives us a cryptic tweet like this around a game or DLC release, it turns out to mean something, right?

Like the one he did that was de-coded to be "the third of june" or whatever it was, and it turned out to be the date the first MKX trailer dropped.

haha oh my god you guys are all fucking retarded

this is awesome

So not too long ago I noticed a recent tweet by our god AKA Ed Boon, the tweet read "Ayche oh tea double you eye are ee" which phonetically sounds out "Hotwire" Now here's what I think, the name of a possible new character is odd since it doesn't hold much of a meaning. What I think is that's it the letters that matter for example:
H
Onaga
Tanya/Taven
W
I
Reiko/Reptile
Ermac

What's your idea guys?

If its hotwire himself than he the son of the punisher

And the punisher is actually a marvel character but doing some research i found that the punisher and batman had comic series called batman punisher by dc comics
http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Batman_and_Punisher:_Lake_of_Fire_Vol_1_1

So if its hot wire is the name of the character and we are 25 years in the future . We might be looking at this character
http://www.comicvine.com/hotwire/4005-80954/images/

his backstory :
Dean Gallows was a Alchemax Marina who while being teleported into a job a sunflare hit his teleporting beam causing him to become an energy being with the powers to become intangible and being able to fire energy beams also finding he was able to travel through holophone lines.

What the heck is going on in this thread

Wow, I'm really rusty, but here it goes:

#!usr/bin/perl
my @mk_characters = ( [list of all Mortal Kombat characters here] );
my $find_string = 'hotwire';
foreach (@mk_characters) {
my $test_string = $_;
if ($_ =~ m/[$find_string]{7,}?/i){
print "found a match!";
print " $_ \n";
};
};

Sorry, no matches. I ran it with a list of ALL (even minor) characters. If it's a hint it's not an anagram for the name of any character. And I was VERY lenient with the regex.

I'll try to program some other patterns that may give more hints, such as using only the first letter of each name to see if it's multiple characters.

Sometimes a piece of code will not replace the way a mind can think!!!
