This is discussion for Xenomorph's/Alien's Tarkatan Variation.

R.I.P. Baraka.

I like the little touch of making it a worry class Xenomorph, with the skull ridges.

This one looks fucking insane, 50/50s inside of 50/50s on top of variation neutral 50/50 specials and the decently ranged tail OH and low normals.

Not to mention the speed, range, and combo-ability. I see this one being considered the "best", though Acidic looks super strong in its own way.

I hoped for run cancels in here. I think you might be able to cancel out of his little run thingie like Kabal in MK9. That would be epic because you can actually use it well and keep pressure up. Hopefully no block infinites come out of this.

BARAKA LIVES ON, YOU FUCKS!!!

*Ahem* No but honestly this variation looks incredibly lit and I don't know how I played this game without it.

The 50 50 looked unsafe on block

 

[Zatoichi]

Alien looked great, I'm going to launch facehuggers all day at people.

I CANNOT WAIT GIVE ME MY TARKATAN

 

[Shark Tank]

I had a dream about Ermac about him before he was announced. After my Ermac dream I had a dream about Baraka in MKX, and he had rekkas.

He's coming. #omens #barakalong

I noticed they didn't show us that multi hitting tail string that we saw from the early kp2 trailer. Do you guys think that's variation specific or possibly universal? I thought it might have been a special like LK's windmill punches???

I really like what Nether Realm Studios did with the Tarkatan Warrior Alien. It looks more interesting that I had originally though it would be and I like how the incorporated Baraka's move set into it's gameplay. I played Baraka in MK9 and the Tarkatan's are one of my favorite Outworld species. So I'm glad to this variation make it into the game.

16bit says that the rekka strings are unsafe

You can delay the rekkas.

Noticed that too.

You can't poke out of the delayed Tarkatan Rekkas. Either have to armor or hold it. Sound like someone?

Baraka players who don't like guests must be in a huge conflict right now lol. This variation looks fun, I don't plan on picking this guy up, but I will lab him come March 1st and this will be the one I choose first.

Nice. I plan on picking up Leatherface and I can already tell the Leatherface vs Alien MU will be insane. Hope to meet some of you Alien guys next week online

 

[TyCarter35]

Definitely trying out alien and triborg. It's gonna be fun

The multi hitting string is universal. PM me if you want the source.
