Kotal Kahn Pre-Release Discussion

[Braindead]

I am in complete and utter love

 

[REYTHEGREAT]

I want him to have an Overhead starter

His fatal blow is an overhead lol

 

[Pterodactyl]

I didn’t expect or think about them making him any bigger, but he’s absolutely fucking MASSIVE now.


The design philosophy of making him look and feel in line with the big MK boss characters is genius!

They’re really trying to put him on Shao’s level and that’s great.

TASTE THE BLADE OF OSH TEKK

They made Kotal look sick. Jacqui had some cool stuff too but Kotal looked like an absolute monster. I’m glad. He still got beat by a kombat kid tho! Lol

I wonder if the jaguar thing is something he can do naturally or if thats from Shang tsung's experiments.

What is the jaguar thing? Does he have a jaguar?

Kotal can turn into a jaguar. Does it in his intro and has a couple of special moves with it as well.

Well this is dumb.

HE'S A BIRD. Look at that helmet.

I now am less interested in him. :/

That's pretty presumptuous.

Learn your Aztec/Mayan mythology, girl. Start by searching for Tezcatlipoca.

 

[honeybooboo]

and most importantly.... kotal has BIG LEG!!! Hype boisss

 

[HeavyNorse]

Kotal is T H I C C in this game.

 

[xenogorgeous]

Kotal being presented as the motherfucker big boss he is ! Brutal as fuck. Loved his jaguar move, and his fatality is pretty cool too !

Also he is very tall, at least 6'9" height !

 

[bluesdealer]

Johnny Cage first line dialog vs Kotal should be:

"Hey man, i was about to throw you a bone!"

I love how they're really using the aztec culture to make Kotal Kahn as an unique, brutal and powerful character. For the aztecs, the god Tezcatlipoca was the creator of universe. He turns into a Jaguar and can see everything through an obsidian mirror. An elite group of aztec warriors (ocēlōmeh) dressed like Jaguars due this . The fatality is inspired by a sacrifice to Tezcatlipoca too. A captive warrior was placed on a sacrifice stone, and crushed to death by ocēlōmeh. The command grab animation is all about anthropophagy. The aztecs ate human flesh of powerful enemies. They believed this practice would make them stronger. Damn, NRS... you guys are doing a wonderful job.

Dude thats so cool and that also gives me hope that if Nightwolf is dlc they'll put that much thought into him.

I really want Nightwolf to be in this game.

 

[Cassie Cyrus]

I'm a NERD for mythological monsters, and there are NO better monsters found in the world than in Inuit and Native American mythology, so many things you can do with them + Nightwolf.

 

[Immortal Reaver]

I can't believe NRS applied my wish to my own character

You're reaching for that one. he turns into it. not a companion.

 

[HeavyNorse]

Well, in the old games, Orchid only turned into the fire cat herself. She couldn't call on it as a companion before KI3, where she maintains her ability to turn into one as well.

 

[Spinky]

Fucking character looks so good. I lost my shit when I saw the jaguar. Best newcomer from MKX got even better.

I'll miss "ON YOUR KNEES", not gonna lie, but otherwise? God tier.

 

[Rathalos]

He was supposed to be able to do that in MKX, but I guess they didn't have the means at the time.
Glad to see they managed to do it now though.
