The Ed Boon Twitter Watch Thread

[SneakyTortoise]

I think it's important to note that the picture isn't just any old picture of a lizard. The picture, if you search with it on google, is actually unique and most likely a screenshot from story mode. As opposed to a random lizard he found on Google.

With the reveal coming up, my prediction is that this will just be a lizard that the camera looks at initially before cutting to something else - like to set the scene I guess. Perhaps a scene that contains Nightwolf or something.

This is exactly what I was thinking. I'm betting it's a screenshot of the very first scene of story mode

 

[MKF30]

lol it looks so good. I thought it was from a documentary at first or something but the storymode shot is a good point and probable.

 

[HeavyNorse]

Ketchup got a theory...

 

[Marinjuana]

Well that's certainly a chameleon esque lizard and I think that's exactly the type of trolling that Boon likes to do.

Here's hoping, Chameleon/Khameleon is rad

 

[MCPeePants]

Buddy and I were talking about this yesterday. It looks like an intro.... and that lizard is about to get stomped out.

 

[NothingPersonal]

I think it's just an ingame screenshot. It's too obcious to be a hint at Khameleon.

 

[MKF30]

Could be Reptile's intro, maybe he picks lizard up pets him then releases him or something.

... Or eats it.

I thought about that but would make Reptile a hypocrite lol. With him being the "last" (we know he's not of course lol) of his race and all lol but yeah would be funny if that winds up being true.

It could be funny if he picked up the lizard and pet it while doing his dialogue, and then just chomps its head off and throws away the rest before the fight begins. XD

lmao. I can picture him doing that and fighting say Johnny Cage and Cage saying "dude that's gross" lol

Saw this on Reddit:

Confirms that the stage the screenshot is from is Shang Tsung's Island and not a jungle map like some people were speculating, but it also seems that the lizard could be on the "battle line" meaning that the chances of it being an intro just went up. Not to mention what I was talking about earlier saying that the lizard was too detailed to simply be a background creature.

While it's possible that it's just a story mode screenshot, I'm really thinking that it has something to do with Reptile or K/Chameleon.

Nah, it's a moon so Reptile confirmed.

I rhink hes only trolling

There can be no trolling where Nightwolf is concerned he is too pure and beyond it.

 

[HeavyNorse]

he is too pure and beyond it

Ed Boon isn't though.

 

[Lokheit]

Not to be a bummer, but Sub-Zero replacing his entire weaponry (swords, daggers, hammer) with 100% axes could mean Nightwolf isn't around (as there would be 2 characters with magical axes popping on their movesets). You could say he might've been... axed...

 

[Tanno]

Reptile and Moon are unrelated. It's most likely Nightwolf.

 

[Gamer68]

What do you mean? Reptile's hint in MK1 was "Look to La Luna" or something like that, and was related to the moon on The Pit. Ed even teased Reptile before he was revealed in MKX using a picture of a moon.

That's not to say that it can't be Nightwolf, I'm just saying that moons and Reptile actually are connected.

You guys realize yesterday was a phenomenon called the “super blood wolf moon” and that’s the same thing a million different people posted pictures of.

Yes, and I saw it.

I wasn't being serious when I said it was confirming Reptile, but my reply was just clarifying that Reptile is related to moons. :/

This is one of the GOAT TYM threads

BossLogic drew an image of Terry Crews as Jax. Boon teased saying "Would be awesome if we could make this a thing!" before tweeting

Personally I was thinking he was pretty likely, not my favorite but he's always been cool. As long as he doesn't put me in the corner

Oh man, I really hope this happens. I remember when Terry said he wanted to be Doomfist in Overwatch and he even visited Blizzard, but it never happened...

But him getting to be Jax would be way better!
