RYX
BIG PUSHER
this variation as teased by NRS, the details and release date are unknown
my sourcerors tell me that this new variation includes a move called "Dance of Tears," in which he will drop to his knees and beg the water god for buffs. supposedly a % chance on whether he receives said buff
when his request fails kotal kahn gains a new move for a short time; "Water Blast" where Kotal Kahn fires a stream of water from his eyes, presumably over not being buffed
in addition he also has the "Level Up" move in which he taunts the opponent to deride him with comments like "But Kotal Kahn, you are already good! You do not need buffs!" if Kotal's next attack is blocked, he can immediately recast the Dance of Tears with no risk to himself as the opponent pities him for trying to open them up
to further entice you to pick him, Kotal Kahn's Blood Offering is twice as fast as he cuts his wrist instead. However, the song "Crawling" by Linkin Park will play until all three charges are used.
what do you guys think? i'm a little peeved that NRS is now withholding variations from us, but it's good that they're still looking to innovate their game
