I think they're revealing the roster to us through those videos, an official MK account that was opened the day the sand teaser was released (not the first person to say this, I think smarter people than me have come to this conclusion a while ago). Could it just be MK30 years celebration and nothing else? Of course, I'm no idiot (mostly). And if so, then we get to just enjoy the little videos they make of our favorite characters and that's cool. If NOT, then that's honestly a really sneaky way to confirm a roster and drum up hype. So I'll be posting all the new TikTok videos on here as they release.

I don't condone the use of TikTok, use responsibly. :confused:

"You won't winter over?" Who the fuck wrote that?
I was thinking the same thing but at the moment it's not really confirming anything I don't think. I feel like those are guaranteed slots right now.

I think those characters have high chances since we're going back to MK1, right?

Btw I cannot stand old Shang Tsung without completely white eyes. I can't believe they got that so wrong.

TikTok? That's the thing my gandkids use.... man I hope they do not start using that all the time. I mean who the fuck uses tiktok but stupid kids?

Anyway, isn't the US banning this as it is a Chinese spy data gathering service or some shit?

That's the excuse they're using anyway but that bill would do much more than just ban TikTok.

There's a couple issues.

1. TikTok is owned by ByteDance, a company based in Beijing that is subject to Chinese laws. Those laws compel businesses to assist the government whenever it asks, which many believe would force ByteDance to give the Chinese government any user data it has access to whenever it asks for it. So there's concern that user data could be shared.

2. There's concern, like with most social media, that TikTok could be used to spread misinformation or propaganda through it's algorithm.

3. There's also a concern that TikTok is dangerous to children and teens from a mental health capacity. Again, something shared with other sociol media platforms.

Or to put it more simply, as I've been saying for a long time now: delete your social media and your life will improve significantly.

omfg that was the worst catch phrase or hash tag or whatever the hell you wanna call it for a wanted character I've EVER seen. All the Mileena stans should be fired and lets get new Mileena stans.
 
Ima eat my socks if she's bottom tier again, but I was winning a lot with her so eh, I don't mind. As long as she's in and is fun to play.
The balance of the game was, overall, very good where even bottom Tier could make Top 8. It was harder, of course, but not MK9-balance-impossible.

But without this catch phrase, we would miss out on this great meme. :oops:
