idk why but fatality of this guy is very similar to blood bath move by scarlet in mk9 for me...except she`s cuttin a neck instead of body and didn`t use the heart

 

[CCVengeance]

This guy is hype. Godlike Hype!

 

[KombatNerd]

Saw Kotal cut himself across the chest on the twitch stream. Wonder what it does.

I really want to try out Blood God Kotal Kahn. These totems fascinate me.

 

[Pterodactyl]

I'm digging the sun god from the footage myself, love grapplers.

You two know you have the same AV right?

 

[protools27]

He looks crazy good. Love the uppercut combos and they seemed to do nice damage.

 

[Faded Dreams V]

I predict this character will be low tier trash.

I invite anyone to call me out on this if he ends up being top 5.

 

[ETC AdmiralAugustus]

A grappler?!?! PogChamp

Grapplers usually aren't my thing but he looks great so far...

Well...look at that. Ha

See that claim means very little since he has three very different types.

One of them could possibly be terrible, and another could turn out to be the best character in the game.

Odds are at least one of them is viable/good.

*Jumps onto thread* I may have a new main, I shall enter and main this Aztec Warrior.

 

[RYX]

This is from one of the two streams:

The other one should be up on youtube somewhere with more Kotal gameplay.

Dammit.

 

[KombatNerd]

All that dmg and a projectile... loving everything I see.

Need more blood god footage..

 

[Eldriken]

I seriously do think I found my main character already. Hot Jesus.

 

[Pterodactyl]

Look at how sexy this shit is:

Spoiler

Wanna know the sexiest part about that?

IT DIDN'T REQUIRE ANY METER.

This motherfucker is gonna be good.

Aztacs had blood Gods that they believed needed human sacrifices and would cut the heart out of living people. Skarlet is a reference to Countess Elizabeth Bathory who believed bathing in human blood kept her young and was one of the inspirations for vampires (along with Vlad).

The two characters will overlap when they are references to two blood themed things in history and have blood related themes or powers.

 

[Pterodactyl]

The more I inspect the footage, the more ridiculous this guy gets.

Dude can heal a nice chunk of health just off of one bar.

It's gonna get nerfed day 1.

 

[Pterodactyl]

Maybe not, it does look to have a recharge period so you cant just do it three times in a row and regain 70% of your health at once.

Still incredibly good.

Yeah, but 70% is a massive chunk. It's well over half your health bar back. You didn't even get HALF that for 4 bars in Injustice. People will find something to cry foul about if that's how good it really is.

 

[Krayzie]

Kotal Kahn stole my heart as soon as I saw him.

Pun intended...

Yeah, this could potentially be my main. But man, I cant wait to see the rest of the cast.

Sorry I meant cant.

It has a recharge period so you cant just mash it out three times and get 70%. Looks to be a solid 15-25% regain.

You just do it once and wait for it to charge back up, which I don't know what causes it to charge because he went right to fatality after that, so it's a mystery as of now.

If you notice after he does it his bright glow goes away.

This is purely speculation though.

okay, so it must be like a chain grab thing he's got going on. So, more Grundy than Shazam.

that's pretty fucking neat
