That's where I disagree. Because if it was the same game, why isn't Kitana, Scorpion and Jade on my version of MK3?

Because you didn't patch your MK3.
I'd count Triborg as Sektor/Cyrax/Smoke/Cyber-Subz. It's a distinction without a difference.
Tanya in the leak? What leak?
...no Tanya. No to all of those characters. That's what you're saying NRS is bound by. Since they were all playable in MKX.
For things like that, it's not impossible that he changes his opinion on something he said a while back. If a statement was several years and games ago, who knows. For example he once said they wouldn't have fightable NPCs anymore, yet Kronika is likely not playable. Sure, she's a boss and all, so not directly comparable. I'm just saying, if the REALLY want a charakter to be in the game, they can always make an exception.
When this was first discovered, consensus was yes. Colorwise, it would be Smoke. But there's no other distinct features, such as his hair, a bit of smoke or whatever. I'd say this is comparable to the logo of the kombat kast, which really just is a generic ninja.
I would like to know this as well lol. It's definitely someone, Smoke? Are we getting Noob/Smoke? Or is it just Noob fucking around lookin all (hu)manly and shit.Is this just supposed to be a generic ninja?
I definitely don't think it's Noob, and there's a distinct lack of smoke for it to actually be Smoke... but it could be.
See I would think Smoke would be base roster over Noob (despite what the rumors are) simply because Triborg was DLC for MKX, and while Triborg and Smoke are technically different... T-Borg's Smoke variation played like...well Smoke? Of course this would be a roundabout way of breaking their own rule of not making the same characters DLC for consecutive games but it would also be kinda shitty to do so IMO. I'm honestly starting to think we are getting Noob/Smoke as one character.
That's just Scorpion's costume grayed out.Is this just supposed to be a generic ninja?
Why would they grey it out when highlighted, though? None of the others are like that - you can see the purple and gold on Rain, for example.
Idk, shaders? They wouldn't give Smoke the same costume as Scorpion though.
Rain is supposed to be a specific character, thus the features. I'd say this one is supposed to be generic. Thinking about this, it's on the menu point for characters. So rather than representing a specific character, it should maybe stand for characters of Mortal Kombat in general. A blank pallet swap ninja without distinctive features or a color would be a good fit for that. The best "neutral" image for a MK character possibly.
My theory is that it really is just a generic ninja. The reasoning behind this line of thought is that the ninja is on the "Characters" selection screen, which correct me if I'm wrong, is where we'll be going to kustomize characters. Thus, having a generic ninja as the face of that select screen is akin to having a "blank figure or face", like a baseline to then build upon.
Yeah this is a thing. Back before MKX, many figured big trilogy icons that didn't make the cut would surely be in the Kombat Pack, but instead of Cyrax and Smoke we got Tanya and Tremor. With DLC, NRS seems to bank on the guests for sales, opening up the other spots to highlight underdogs or introduce new characters. Or perhaps it's the principle of not wanting to hide series staples behind a paywall. With that logic, we're more likely to get Stryker and Reiko than Reptile and Mileena or whatever people are guessing. But this concept can change, especially if they intend this game to be tailored with 'fan favorites.'
She was never in Deception, sir. You know this.
Yes, but Unchained was deception for psp. She was in that. That’s pretty much still the same game.
Ah, I see. Didn’t even know that existed lol
