I personally can not wait to find out the fate of this character. I really hope that he will make it into Mkx, and it seems likely. There is evidence stacked up in his favor. If he is in it, however, I doubt they will make him like Deathstroke.

Too old for this Shit
Erron Black... Initials.. EB...
He will be in the game.. For those slow on uptake.. Ed Boon.

What happens when video games mix, and John Marston from Red Dead Revolver and Scorpion from MK have a love child after too much tequila? Erron Black.

IMO- people will draw to him for the bad boy, Bobba Fett, bounty hunter, loner persona, but in game.. Mid to low tier zoner at best.

Sorry!

I don't see anything Scorpion-esque about him other than wearing a mask and being an uber badass. And even if he is low tier, I don't give a FUCK. I played Lobo and Noob Saibot (for the brief time I played MK9), I can care less about his tier placement. He's far too cool to not play.

Thats why they call this thing bloodsport, kid.
Make him at least mid hat tier plox. Hoping we get a trailer for him soon.

I think stryker and johnny cage are the only possibilities, being the only blond males in the MK universe I can think of(and it depends on the game for johnny).

Further people getting hype for stryker would probably make boon laugh.

What if he's Striker's Son raised by Kabal in Outworld?

Erron Black better be playable...if not...it will be the biggest troll job in the history of video games.

the link i posted a few posts ago states that he was in the attract mode for the game (the thing where you don't press a button on the main menu and random fighters fight each other). That pretty much confirms him to be playable in the initial roster, which is why this should be turned into an official thread for him.

Day 1 - Day ∞ main. I don't care how low he is on the tier list or how bad I might mesh with his style of play at first. I will adapt just to main this badass.

Can we please have a sub-forum @STORMS ? Shinnok got his from the costume pack news, why not Erron since this link proved he's in.

"It's not immediately clear which of these returning characters is actually going to be playable in Mortal Kombat X. We fought Jax and Shinnok in one-on-one fights, so it's pretty likely those two characters will ultimately be playable in the game. NetherRealm wouldn't confirm who was going to be included in the roster, but we did see a couple of unannounced playable fighters, including Erron Black, in the game's attract mode."

Thank you @STORMS



Talk about everything related to this omega badass of a cowboy here.

VARIATIONS

Gunslinger (adds coin shot and quick draw stance)
Marksman (adds unload, rifle pop up and long shot stance)
Outlaw (adds tarkatan impale and strings using it)



Sand Grenade: B,F+3. Rolls a sand grenade along the floor, most likely hits low as well. :ex has Erron shooting the grenade for a pop-up.

Caltrops: D,B+3. Throws caltrops on the floor which function as a hazard similar to Reptile's EN Acid Spit. If you run into them, the hazard stops the run. :ex throws more caltrops out.

Sand Slide: B,F+4. Typical MK Slide, :ex version side switches. He does a baseball slide in the animation, so I'm assuming it lowers his hurtbox, could be good vs people with high projectiles.

Sand Trap: D,B,F+2. Command Grab, tackles you to the floor and shots you a bunch. :ex is extra damage and leaves your far from the opponent.

Anti-Air Sand Blast: shoots glass of sand in the air, :ex version floats the opponent allowing for combos. Neither version will hit close-ranged jumps, so depending on the speed, we're probably using this as combo-fodder or to AA farther ranged jumps.

:x: throws a sand grenade at your feet, shoots a bullet with your name on it which then ricochets off the pelvis and shoulder bones and goes through the jaw. Does 35% and leave the opponent standing.

Marksman-Specific

Long Shot: D,F+1. Enters a stance with his rifle, can dash-cancel it.

Unload: D,B+1. Walks backward while shooting the rifle multiple times. :ex version pops up.

Gunslinger-Specific

Coin Shot: throws coin in the air and shoots it, causing the bullet to ricochet off. Can change the trajectory of the move, similar to raven's pillars from IGAU. :ex causes all 3 bullets to shoot one after another.

Quick Draw: enters a quick-draw western-y stance and has 3 followups: a multi-hitting low, an anti-air shot and a horizontal shot that also causes him to dash away from the opponent.

Outlaw-Specific:

Tarkatan Impale: stabs you repeatedly with a tarkatan blade sword and causes the opponent to bleed for a period of time at the cost of losing your blade normals. :ex causes the bleed out to last longer, but also the sword cooldown.

Sand Toss: throws a handful of sand at the opponent's face, momentarily stunning them. :ex version stuns for a longer period of time, allowing you to combo a jump-in. Most likely his bnb combo starter.



WE'RE TAKING OVER THIS TOWN

I'll be maining him as long as he doesn't have some insane execution requirements. Hopefully he has some kind of "gunslinger" variation where he goes nuts with zoning.

I work at Vox Media (publisher of Polygon). I spoke to the writer of this report last Friday. In addition to Erron Black, he also saw Liu Kang, as NRS flashed the full roster for a quick second. Black (and Kang) fans can rejoice :)
