Are you a boy or girl?
Wtf is it with you coming in and insulting people. :rolleyes:
Dude, I loved this forum once. It is literally not my fault that its gone down hill and Im being vocal about it. If people want to deny that that is Liu’s model and idle animation/stance, fine. But I should be able to deny the existence of their intelligence all the same. Freedom of expression.

I see the reason people are saying its Kotal, but I push that it looks MORE and FAR more like Liu. Yet, STILL, not one constructive response.

So, *clicks pen*,
You just made the list.

It is better this way
She looks fine, she's only thing she's missing is her hair and that's probably because it's gear.
Well seeing as we can only see her head, her only missing her hair is kind of a big deal to me lol

But I’m glad you like it man, I had absolutely no intention of using the character but if her fans like it then that’s great

You've been given a high res version of the picture where you can see all the tribal stuff from Shao Kahn, the nose piercing, the paints, the aztek style clothes... yet you insist no one gave a constructive response, but you coming in insulting people intelligence (while they're not even wrong) apparently is super constructive, and the whole TYM is now a toxic forum but the only one actually insulting everyone somehow is an avatar of purity.

That model is rigged like Liu's as a placeholder while they create its own animation. It might even have its size (we don't really have a point of reference to compare) and body type while defining Kotal's (and a lot of MK character's share body type, A LOT), but all the items, clothes, textures, etc... are Kotal. All of them. Have you seen the youtube videos where modders take different characters and give them the animations of others and they actually look natural beheaving like others?

Those are not Kotals gauntlets/bracers or shoes. Or hair. Also, not exact to his tribal marks. But no, restating your opinion and saying mine is wrong IS NOT constructive, incel.

Insults are fucking part of life, grow a set. You guys are wrong and Ill take real life bets with anyone who wants to private message me. Sorry for hurting feelings or not playing nice enough.

I somewhat understand the notion that you believe they share same basic structural model but in what way do you believe they gave Liu Kang an Aztec skin as an Alt (body paint, nose piercings,etc.)? Also what hair? How does them sharing a similar basic body sculpt and model viewer stance completely make it NOT Kotal to the point where any body who believes so must be an idiot? Similar/same body structure model and screen view animation? Oh yeah. If it's not the same it is damn close. But NOT being an early Kotal but simply an ALT Skin for Liu Kang? Extremely unlikely. Like "Hsu Hao being the secret 'Akuma-style' end boss above Kronika" unlikely.

Appreciate ya actually analyzing and responding to my claim, super rad of ya.

True, but I think both are unlikely. BUT, I think it may just be fake all together, as that seems more likely than either to me. At least in a vacuum without knowing NRS as a very unorthodox company.

A couple of NRS Devs DaanishSyed and Grey Meta have liked a couple tweets regarding the Leak by Ketchup and Mustard who basically said they think the leak is super shitty and that the person should be punished blahblahblah.

Daanish even retweeting Maximilian Dood's tweet where he says he's not going to talk about the leaks.

The leak is 100% legit.

Oh if that's a fake I think the community will literally lynch the poor bastards responsible. Won't know if these are fake until NRS does the official reveal of Kotal. If that's NOT him but a fake instead.... yiiiikes I almost feel sorry for those poor soon to be dead idiots. Almost. :cool:
 
This is the age of the Internet so leaks will happen. Movies and complete episodes of TV shows get leaked nowadays which is far more 'damaging' than a few characters in a fighting game.

The game will still sell copies by the truckload so they better stop whining and start releasing those trailers.

Also lol at all the knights claiming they won't talk about it as if they can tell us something we can't figure out ourselves. Nobody cares.
 
If you think that picture isnt Liu Kang AT THE VERY LEAST as far as base model goes, youre an absolute assclown, you stupid idiots.


Do you know what happens when you dont realize that is Liu Kangs model, huh? Do you know what happens?
Man, you are really pressed about this, to the point of absurdity.

Given that its taken from an Alpha build it's likely there's a generic male stance or what have you until design on the character is completed etc....but that design of that specefic character is clearly Aztec, and Kotal is our Aztec character.

I'm not sure why your panties are in such a twist about this, or what you're even trying to prove, lol.
 
I dunno how the discussion changed into who is it Liu or Kotal, but I mean it's obviously Liu Kang with a weird look. Maybe he really is Shang Tsung like the skull fireball theory and absorbed Kotal mid story so he has the skin. I dunno.

But that model is obviously Liu Kang.
What's the more likely scenario here, that there's a generic male model for designers to work on with each character until unique animations etc are completed or that they've randomly shown a Liu Kang alt which happens to look exactly like Kotal Kahn/an Aztec character.

If it was a "generic male model", both models wouldn't have Liu Kang's hair, shoes, gauntlets, etc. Like it's actually Liu's, not Prototype A. So you could say they used Liu's model for Kotal in early development, but it is Liu in those pics.

The way Maximilian said it I can respect. He said the way the leaks came out, someone working there purposefully sharing them, sat with him the wrong way. It's not like the Steam leaks where it was unintentional.

Everyone else and their mother is making videos about the leaks anyway. So it doesn't really matter if he talks about them or not.

As long as we have top quality content creators like Dynasty and Super we don't really need Max talking about it too.

I'm kind of restating what I said earlier in this thread, but there is a character select screen portrait for Kotal Kahn in this build. I'm asuming that if they used his model for that, then it should be in this version of the game.
