I really hope Baraka is playable.

If he isn't in the original set, I doubt he'll be DLC.

Please Ed, make this happen!!

Why would you doubt that one of the most iconic and easily recognizable MK characters wouldn't be DLC if they aren't in the game?

Companies plan DLC around what will sell, and Baraka is extremely popular when it comes to MK characters. He's not in the ninja's levels of popularity, but he's in that second tier with Liu Kang, Kitana, Raiden, Jax, Mileena, and Goro.

Boon just loves to make us REALLY want it to be Thursday already!

I just hope they bring back his corny ass body staples.

I just hope they do away with the stupid ass metal effects on his claws. That shit is retractable bones, it doesn't make sense any other way even for MK.

 

[Reaper040]

IMO all his hints are directed to Khrome, if you look closer there's nothing but Khrome written all over the tweets, we should start making a Khrome general discussion sub-forum.

RELISH...OH MAH GERD

Hasn't it always been metal though? I mean they clearly shine in the renders of Deception at least.

no there blades,
blade spark, blade swipe and blade fury(chop chop) from mk2,
blade charge and blade spin from later games,
in konquest mode you find "barakas blade"
baraka literally says "my blade will find your heart"
etc etc etc

i know my tarkatan lore

ugh so much for that mileena hint last stream then
you lied to us derek

 

[ROtagaki]

I hope they have interesting stuff to show us cause if this stream is just about brutalities is going to be kinda of a let down!

That's what I'm afraid of too... I myself hope -since there's going to be NO character reveals- for some story mode talk.

Well he said no character reveal "with the upcoming stream". Can still mean the character gonna be revealed via trailer 1 or 2 days before.

Fingers crossed for Empress Mileena.

 

[manohokuto]

seems like they'll have to say something about story mode or at least show more concept art to fill an hour and even then they might have to show all the confirmed characters brutalities.

Oops meant to post in the stream thread. How has it been known since last stream?

Considering we got that article mid month, I don't believe it has been know since last stream.

 

[Youphemism]

I'm pretty sure Tyler or Shaun mentioned it on their Twitter a few times.

 

[shig]

Brutalities + new stage + some faction or story stuff would be a pretty good stream.

There is something coming before the stream but its not a trailer.
Its MKX related so its interesting what it is.

your becoming one of my fav posters on this site
i dont even have to search for news lately you and @Dark bring it to me

 

[xWildx]

**sigh** Of course there's no reveal. A month and a half until release and we still haven't even seen a glimpse of half the roster, smh.

Maybe the next trailer will be story-centric and feature like 3-4 yet to be seen characters.

 

[TotteryManx]

So Charlie game play was shown today for SFV...it ended with a Bison tease.......up your game NRS.
