It has Begun...DLC reveal FRIDAY MAY 31 2019

We are going to see some Shang Tsung stuff at some point today. When that is, no one knows. Will he be cool? Yeah, probably. We got some minor teases as to how he'll play from Ed Boon, with Shang possibly being able to turn into other characters as part of his moveset.

Your SOUL is MINE!

God I wanted rain as a standalone character, but this piques my interest. I can kinda play as Smoke Ermac Reptile and Rain all in one? I will main this character no matter how bad he is. (psyche im only playing top tier but ill def play him)

whoa whoa whoa don't be crazy

smoke is staying in the dumpster

 

Hope he has a soul stealing brutality like kollector...cant wait

 

That's lowkey disappointing it's just gonna be MK2 swaps

Nah, he's in as a morph. He's the grey color in the shang tweet.

 

I just hope that sonce we paid for the kombat pack now 1,5 months ago that they show all the dlc chars for the first oack and not just this shitty shang tsung and thats it

 

I hope the leak is real. I need me some Sindel

 

Nah, he's in as a morph. He's the grey color in the shang tweet.

Nah, that's Khrome

 

Nah, that's Khrome

Nah, that's Skull.

 

Nah, that's Skull.

Nah, that's Phlox.

 

Seems like I was right:

Let's all appreciate the MK2 classic costume design.

 

Damn, poor Ermac, he is one of my favorite characters

But on the bright side, we have Shang Tsung, who will put all those souls to good use.

 

Hella wack, if Shang turns into the ninjas. Give him his own moves like up skulls, moves that heal himself other cool soul shit. Then just give him regular soul steal like in MK9 so he can turn into the whole roster

 

Oh god! Now it has begun for Real)))

 

If we get 2 guests instead of Sheeva in KP1 I swear I'll riot! I've been waiting for my main for way too long!

2 guests is a given.

If you don't get Sheeva now, you'll get her later on.

Others won't see their fave character for a much, much longer time.

 

Gonna be a huge slap in the face to all the ninja fans if they're just a movelist gimmick for shang. We want them to be fully (unique) developed characters.

I can't believe Shang Tsucked the souls from the lifeless corpses of Ermac/Rain/Smoke. I wonder if he used a straw?

 

The dead Kano in Goro's lair

fair enough

 

Let's all appreciate the MK2 classic costume design.

Yeah I wanted something like that for past Sub. He got some hobo cosplay version that looks like it doesn't fit (in concept art it's much better). Even past Scorpion looks good (probably because it was going to be shown in storymode). I hope the costume is also included as a skin for the playable ninjas so I don't have to use the bad cosplay version.

 

Uhhh back to back Rain tweets by Boon.... If he's fucking with us once again then this one hurts my soul lol

 

As a reptile fanboy who pretty much had lost all hope he’d be in... I’ll take it

 

100% Shang is gonna be able to transform into Ermac, Rain, Smoke and Reptile.

Aka INSTANT 100000% MAIN

 

I call maining shangtile. Called it. He’s mine.. please stay away. I will post videos I promise

 

I like the idea of Shang emulating the color palette ninjas, though I'm sure my opinion is an unpopular one.

This settles it, imo. Characters with assists aren't dlc. So no Rain, Hydro, Reptile, Ermac, Kung Jin, Nitara, Meat, Drahmin, Quan Chi, Hsu Hao, Mavado, Boraicho, Takeda, Smoke, Tremor, Sektor (sniff) and Cyrax (sob).

Havik's assist being removed is now more appealing than ever. I'm 95% sure he's in.

Also, expect a couple of new characters as dlc, like Scarlet in mk9.

In fairness, consider that there's a Noob Saibot assist.
