With Smoke and Rain, surely Reptile at the very least is playable

Also hope you can choose costumes for Kameo fighters and you can use the pre-cyborg Cyrax and Sektor :shobon:

It would be a grave injustice if Rain fans got catered to more than Reptile fans over the course of MK9 to MK12

Also I'm thrilled they announced Smoke this early, I've got a Smoke cosplay that I'm bringing to a convention in two weeks and it'll actually be relevant now

Buzz saw literally coming straight out of his gaping glistening chest as Human Cyrax comes in for his fatal blow.

Unless they do what they did in MK9 and give him an entirely different animation.

I am gonna be sad though if some of the great X designs get left there though. Kotal owns and the fact that it took them 24 years or whatever to go “uhhhh what about a cowboy, like with guns” is just embarrassing.

I mean let's face it, if Erron showed up during the 3d era he would probably be competing with Hsu Hao for "most embarassing" so it's probably a good thing they waited that long

iirc Torr was one of the Kameos mentioned in the leaks.

the tag gameplay and air kombat actually has me more enthused now. taking a Kung Lao Kameo and getting granted both a hat buzzsaw AND a tandem teleport is nuts. Really interested now how much the Kameo will affect each character's playstyle

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

This has to confirm that Kameo =/= unplayable, right? Scorpion, Sub-Zero, and Kung Lao all show up in the Kameo slot at different times during that video.

Also what the gently caress are the cyborg Lin Kuei doing in this timeline

They have confirmed that kameos can be on the roster too. Though at least initially I think they’re probably aiming for most of them not to be.

Kameos are all based on the old timeline. So, characters that are not playable or who don't exist in this timeline, like the cyber-ninjas, can be Kameos. Likewise, playable characters can also be Kameos, but their look and/or play style will be based on previous versions. No idea how that fits into the cannon of the game.

I'm pretty sure they already said there's no canon or in-game explanation for kameos, they're just a gameplay thing that doesn't factor into the story.

Ed Boon confirmed that on-stage at SGF, because both Sub and Kung Lao were both Kameos and combatants in the debut gameplay trailer.

It looks like most of the Kameos are explicitly non-canon, hence the name. They've all but said out loud that Scorpion in this game is Kuai Liang with a different set of powers, but the Scorpion Kameo is visibly good ol' Hanzo.

Kinda :laffo: at the Sektor/Smoke brutality(?). Sektor saws directly through the enemy's torso and blows up their head, only for Smoke to jump in with his lovely little knife afterwards. Good job buddy, you're helping!

They do have me wondering if Smoke is Tomas, Hanzo, or a different person entirely in this timeline. Not sure of the legitimacy of it, but there's been a leaked story summary for Smoke that he was orphaned by the Lin Kuei so the grandmaster took him in and raised him as a third son. They showed Scorpion, who is probably Kuai, seemingly having a closer bond with Smoke than Bi Han in the trailer so I do kind of wonder if they plan to have Hanzo be Smoke so they can carry on with Kuai and Hanzo being buds

I think every Kameo shown so far has depicted the characters as they were first introduced in the series, and I feel like they're planning to get them for every character from the first three games (original timeline), at minimum.

kind of weird that the new Scorpion can turn himself into a fiery skull guy---Lin Kuei is something I associated with ice powers forever given Sub-Zero/Frost fighting over that dragon medallion back in Deadly Alliance. Really wondering why Liang has those powers now if he never previously died in this version
