Previously on twitter, about a month ago, Ed Boon posted RANDOMLY a picture link to a Canon Laser printer. People joked it was a Kano reveal, but you could never be to sure with Ed.
Now we see that this "random" picture link might have indeed been a clue that some brushed off because the army of naysayers telling anyone trying to decipher clues to shut their mouths.
It's these picture links on twitter by Ed. These seemingly random trolls seem to be the hints he's dropping and not his trillions of responses to people on twitter regarding art or questions. We know Ed always does hints. Does it not strike anyone as strange that he "apparently" hasn't up until now?
So far these are the hints we have as far as picture links:
1. Canon Laser Printer
(hinted to Kano)
2. James Horner's Soundtrack and "Lady in Red" which James Horner is famous for.
Could also be another Kano hint referring to his Commando variation.
(hints to Kano or Skarlet)
Update for hint #2:
It's now more likely for this to have been another Kano nudge instead of Skarlet because Ed recently revealed that DLC characters from mk9 will be unlikely.

3. Random Cheeseburger from McDonalds. Ed Boon straight up says MUSTARD and KETCHUP in capslock on a reply to it.
(hints Cyrax and Sektor)
UPDATE Aug 14, 2014:
4. "Take me with you....".
This line was only spoken by Sereena as far as MK goes. It was her last words in Subzero Mythologies which Quan Chi and Shinnok play a huge role in. This hint is different from the others because its pictureless, but its definitely Ed's style of cryptic. Compared to the rest though this one is a little harder to grasp because while Serrena wasn't the worst character, she wasn't one of the most popular either.
(hints to Sereena)
Updated August 26 2014
5. You got caged bitch
(hints at Johnny Cage)
Updated September 3, 2014
6. Get Out, Really Out !!
(Goro hint. Credit to @Dark )
Updated September 25, 2014
7. JADED Bohemian Rhapsody reference.
(hints to ???)
