The Ed Boon Twitter Watch Thread

Fred Marvel

It's actually Freddy Marvel
It's definitely Erron Black the last clue that coulda been Black Friday and this one AC/DC which probably mans back in black makes it pretty obvious and im stoked :)
 

Name v.5.0

Iowa's Finest.
Black is finally getting some real exposure in the comics as of last Sunday. It wont be coincidence if he's shown off on Friday.

NRS knows what's up.

Thats why they call this thing bloodsport, kid.
Finally we get to see some Erron. Trust me I wish it was saibot but thats a major reach, even for this thread. Its obviously Erron, I just pray we see Goro too but the chances of that are very slim.

I think they're not showing Goro because he is DLC, and would rather people pay for someone who they can't judge by gameplay out the gate. If they do show him, that'll be cool.
 
The last stream before launch will probably showcase Goro in all his Shokan glory.

I take it that this week we'll be seeing Erron Black and 2 other new unseen characters. My money's on:

Jax: He's getting mentioned on Boon's twitter as of recently

Sonya: She is tied to Erron in some way due to him kidnapping her daughter. If they hold off on Jax, it'll probably be her shown off.

Jacqui: Jacqui may be shown for a number of reasons. She's the only next gen Special Forces character not shown yet. She's tied to Erron also (kidnapped her; and she beat the crap out of him for it).

Those are the 3 I think they'd be showing. Or maybe they'll just show us Erron and call it a day.

Tell me, do you bleed?
Shang ...

I'm pretty sure Shang won't be coming back. They already had to deal with getting Shinnok three different variations. It's true that there are some characters who one wouldn't expect to be on the same game, like Cassie and Johnny, Jacqui and Jax, or Scorpion and Takeda, but I don't think Shinnok and Shang will be that kind of couple.
 
Do you guys think this week's stream may be the last before release?
I doubt it, unless they break down six characters in the next stream. I think it will be one stream per week, with maybe one final super-hype stream on April 13.

The reason I say this is that I feel as though they're gonna give a breakdown on all of the characters before the game is out, with the exception of Liu Kang/Whoever the story-unlocked character is.

Do you guys think this week's stream may be the last before release?
I think they're going to try and build as much as possible before release, so we'll probably see more. And, they don't have to reveal any more at this point either. I mean there's Sonya, Jacqui, Erron Black, Jax, Shinnok, Liu Kang, and Goro; none of which we've seen substantial gameplay for.

The only morality in a cruel world is chance.
I wouldn't get my hopes up to see some Goro gameplay on the next stream, but I am excited to see some Erron Black.
