Adding the info from this Warner Play stream:
Sub-Zero has an Ice Clone (Ice Klone)
Liu-Kang has a Low Dragon
Kitana has Square Wave

Seems like a very classic moveset for some of the most iconic characters,

Adding some Kameo info. Sonya as a Kameo, for example, has a projectile (which can be charged/cancelled), launcher (leg grab), throw, square wave, and a fatality (kiss).

Edit: Added Kano as well.

Kenshi also has rising karma, they showed it in the move list.


Also here at around 3:47 he does a very fast move to end a string that is a special (he uses bar on it). He does it to start a match in another video too.

By looking at another video, from the movelist I think it's called force push and it's BF4, it can be charged too. The classic push seems to be BF2 still.

I'm so happy to see the Ice Clone back.

Anyone found footage of it doing anything? So far all i've seen is it still block projectiles and it appears to vanish if you're hit, which kinda sucks.

It could still be a great movie, but i'm worried we're going to get something mk 11 ice trap style.

Edit- Saw the Ex at least where he leaves 3. That might potential, but right now it sure looks like it's a zoning wall tool and not meant for corner jail, which sucks.

Edit 2- Jwong about 9:30 shows off using ice clone mid combo for a second freeze. You cancel a jump kick into clone and it'll freeze them and you can keep going. Might not be a trap tool, which is a shame, but at least it looks like it'll still be powerful.

For kameos-

I'm beginning to think that each one has one or two "nomral" assists where they do a move while you're doing it, and then they've got 1 that's stronger which seems to lock your character in place (sonja's leg grab/kano's eye laser). The leg grab likely being a great combo extender and the eye laser looking like a super good zoning option.
