Noob Saibot vs Bi-Han

[Warbro666]

I love the name Noob Saibot. It sounds otherworldly. You have a pitch black wraith reborn in the depths of the Netherrealm and you want him to have his human name because of the childish association with the word "noob"? Who even uses that word these days anyway?

Changing it would be like changing Mortal Kombat to Mortal Combat.

What kind of person are you?

Mortal Kombat to Mortal Combat

Not exactly.

The K in Kombat in the title is part of the identity of the entire franchise.

Noob getting called Bi-Han instead of Noob is but a tweak of his own personal lore. Noob as a character isn't as important or iconic to the franchise as many other characters, and MK11 would've been the perfect game to make a change like that to him.

Either way, he's still called Noob... as silly as that might be.

Sure, but originally he was still called Noob Saibot even if his real name is Bi-han. I still feel like it's the same of changing Kombat to Combat. It's just letters, but still, it's a staple to the series as a whole.

Well, originally, Noob's background story as being Bi-Han aka the original Sub-Zero wasn't established until MKD. And he was first given the name B-Han in MK9, along with Kuai Liang.

-corrects glasses and snorts like a nerd, wiping away the saliva from all the lisping-

Keep it as Noob Saibot, that is way more cooler than Bi-Han .... Bi-Han is just an old reference of his old being , he is Noob and embraced that since first day he come from death as resurrected spawn from Netherrealm.

Yeah, sub-zero's background is the most confusing, even more reasons why it should stay Noob to confuse the non-MK nerds.

That's a fair point, actually. XD

 

[trufenix]

the main characters name is Scorpion, not Hanzo.

 

[stokedAF]

Yeah only the people that know him as Bi-Han should call him that. I think sub and sareena are about it. Maybe the cyborgs.

 

[Cassie Cyrus]

Shade, Umbra, Ankou, Gaueko, Reaper, Void.

So many code names could work for a shadow based character...

 

[Wildabeast]

Im not sure why people want MK to be so serious these days. The goofiness is half the charm.

 

[HeavyNorse]

Since he's Chinese... Yīnyǐng.

Yes, but... NOOB!

Yes, but... NOOB!

I'm just saying, next thing you know people are going to start asking for Johnny Cage to stop punching people in the nuts while yelling "HOOOO!"
