All hail Kotal Kahn, RULER OF OUTWORLD >:O

 

[AU_JUST_LOST]

was looking through some gameplay and i'm not sure if anyone noticed, but kotal kahn can sacrifice his buffs to gain meter. If you go to 9:00 in this video you can clearly see it

 

[truendymion]

So who's going to be Kotal's queen: Mileena or Skarlet...?

Hmm, I've seen him sacrifice them for health in other gameplays.. I guess he can choose between the two

 

[Dark]

Kotal Kahn gameplay and winpose leaked

 

[Shark Tank]

He does have a step kick. It's like I never stopped playing abel.

 

[Pterodactyl]

If only War God had rekkas with that sword thingy.

 

[Youphemism]

Thought you Aztec enthusiasts might be interested to know that you can learn more about Kotal Kahn in MKX comic #6 out on the 8th of February

What do u guys think Kotal Kahn's second fatality should be? I think it should be more like apacalypto where he would grab his opponent kneel down and place them on their back over his lap and gut them from their navel to their chest plate using his side knife, rip them open and take out their heart, then then finish the job by sawing off their head and raising it as his finishing pose, brutal

If it is any variation of this using sun...I'm hooked.

 

[AK L0rdoftheFLY]

This is mesmerising!!!

i love the way NRS brought back unique hitsparks from MK8

It looks like it only sparks when he is buffed so you can easily see when it is doing the extra damage or not.

 

[Pterodactyl]

Kotal Kahn's Outworld stage has been revealed!

 

[n9195v]

Kotal Khan can place totems mid combo! Don't know if this is new but it's news to me.

 

[Pterodactyl]

That's in the first post, sir.

Not offense.

Big baller, shot caller:

 

[_CHINOCUDEIRO_]

please, could someone explain me if Kotal has a parry?
If so... how is it (low,high,grab,...) and if its available for the 3 versions or just one?
THANKS

 

[Pterodactyl]

If I recall correctly, it charges his hands with a glowing effect and it allow him to summon a pillar of light that heals him when he's in it and damages enemies when they are in it. Doesn't have a low parry, and this is universal if i'm not mistaken.

So... you can only activate the "light pillar" when you do a parry before? And... can you activate this pillar whenever and wherever you want after doing the parry?
Thanks again

 

[Pterodactyl]

Yup.

No one knows the final rate of healing/damage dealing the pillar does yet as it seems to have varied the few times it's been shown, but healing is always an amazing asset in fighting games.

From watching the Kombat Kasts, you can summon the Light at any time. I think the parry may make it more powerful or something, I don't know for sure.

 

[Pterodactyl]

Wow, I guess I missed that.

Sooo, noone knows exactly how parry works? The parry move and the pillar of light works indenpently? I´ve seen I think all the Kotal matches shown but I dont get it yet

Yeah Kotal has changed a lot through development so I don't know much of what's going on besides the totems.

They never showed in detail how parry works. Considering that it took them like 7 attempts to connect Takeda's reflect with Raiden's fullscreen fireball, no surprise that we have only seen whiffed parry on streams.

Cyborg would like to have a word with you.

 

[PizzaMasta]

I'll probably be going for Blood God Kotal, he looks so good with the red tattoos and eyes; and I love the mindset of placing totems around and playing accordingly to your setups. Though I have to admit that War God is pretty much Shao Kahn, he actually does the exact same moves with his club/sword/pillar of death that Shao did with his hammer, and that attracts me. A lot.
