Ed Boon teases Ferra Kameo as well as a 90s Movie Scorpion Skin

It appears that Ferra will be the next Kameo coming to MK1, and it appears everyone will be able to toss her!

90s movie fans will be thrilled to see the iconic Scorpion outfit as well

Is her schtick gonna be that you spend half meter to get her out and mounted, then gain access to her abilities? Kind of a spin on needing to get Shujinko out and charged first before use.

 

I wonder if she's gonna be just like Ferra/Torr where she's always on your back, as a cosmetic. And she only comes off for assists, but falls on her back when hit just like in MKX (and maybe even bring back that goofy back-n-forth run animation to get to point char's back again).

And, if that's the case..... they should make Puggles a future kameo

 

if she can be attached to you, that actually completely ruins her and Torr's lore from MKX.

Which is, well, not surprising at all as:

1. we are in a totally different universe, created from scratch and they can explain every dumb idea with this move
2. NRS doesn't give a shit about consistency in the lore even in between their games
3. we have Dominic at the wheel

 

Such an awesome Scorpion costume!!! I've always loved the 1995 ninja costumes and have wanted them in a game. Sometimes simple is just better. I hope the other ninja type characters get them as well.

That said the nose part of the mask is too high on the face, probably just from the camera angle tho cause it looks fine in game

Bonus Number: Only 5 Kameos out of the current Kameo Roster are canon to the story.

Dude, it's fun. Who gives a fuck. I adore Ferra/Torr in MKX, but I also want Ferra to ride on Geras' back more than I want their precious lore preserved

 

I like the functionality and uniqueness of her being on someone's back vs accurate lore that doesn't matter in this particular game at all and it be a big body lackey. Having said that, a big body Kameo with a command grab would certainly spice things up

 

I miss Torr, but hey, if I can turn Tanya into Torr 2.0 (Tornya? Tanyorr?), I'll be happy enough.

 

Didnt care for Scorpion since MK9, but that skin is making me play him again. Looks amazing!

Ok but what about the lore implications that stem from running Scorpion Kameo while playing Scorpion

This is what I'm saying. I want a grappler kameo in the worst way. I'd love to see how they implement it. I want tic throws and all. Lolol

My heart says Kintaro, but I'd much rather have him as main roster

 

All i'm saying is buff Goro's Low Grab and make it a true grab

 

Scorpion has so many good options for skins imo:
Union of Light Scorpion if you want that Hanzo sort of feel
Order of Darkness Scorpion if you like the angry spectre
UMK3 Scorpion for the classic enjoyers
Deadly Alliance Scorpion for those midway enjoyers
Now we have Movie Scorpion

But his gameplay is still pretty rough even with the new string. Must feel weird for his fans.

 

Huge missed opportunity to not have the spear be the weird snake thing. At least have it shaped like it, it doesn't need to actually animate like it

 

Holy Hell! This new alt is amazing! Now all we need is for them to buff Scorpion. No point in giving a character all these cool skins when the character sucks without Khameleon, lol.

Here waiting for MK movie Reptile skin

Bro. Come on. Do you really have nothing better to complain about than the lore implications of a non-canon gameplay kameo?

We've had absurd physics defying moves and fatalities since mk92, have you been complaining about the lore implications of that for the last 30 years? We've had good guy characters, friends, family members, etc, brutally murdering each other at the end of fights since that time, have you been complaining about the lore implications of that as well?

It's just gameplay.

The double standards in the NRS community when it comes to shitting on NRS era games, I swear to god.

 

Now THAT's a great retro skin. I'll honestly be spending cash to top up my Krystals for this!

But without wanting to sound greedy, we need '95 movie Sub Zero and Reptile skins to compliment it, it's only fair, been waiting SO long for these!

 

It almost looks like Scorpion is hunched over like Torr. I wonder if Ferra could somehow change your normals, giving everyone access to universal kit. Imagine everyone in th game having MKX Ferra Torr njp lmao

He's missing health too, although the amount is too much to really tell if ALL of that damage was from Raiden and or some of it is from Raiden and a bit of it was from some kind of Pain and Gain boost.

 

100% Torr is part of this Kameo.... no doubt.. end of discussion. There is no fucking way Torr is not in the game with Ferra. QED.

 

looks nice, are the costumes still 10 bucks a piece?

???

Its only Ferra lol. The voice lines for her and Mavado both leaked. There's no Torr audio anywhere to be found

Actually 30 years to get those costumes in a game.

Honestly feels like until mkx-ish, NRS was insecure about the movie's influence. Never used the theme song until mk11, never did any movie based outfits, etc. Then the dam burst and they just started referencing it all the time in the last 3 games, to the point of literally making Cary Tagawa canon, lmao. Even mk1 Shang is clearly based on his performance so that's not going away.

I love it. That movie is iconic and a part of the franchise's dna.
