That KP1 looks insane overall but they are totally fucked up Ermac. He has his best design in MK11 when he was just a kameo in crypt, now they made him an unholy hybrid of Darkseid and Egyptian mummy.

At least they choose only decent MK11 character, another proof that leaks were real. Again, fucking Darrius stole the show! Next big reveal is on Friday, during Evo.

And there is some riddle:



1. No-name protagonist?
2. Hanzo?
3. Hanzo before turning into Havik?
4. Another character before turning into Havik?

Geras having a babyface turn now that there’s new management makes sense.

Whether this will take away from his role of talent enhancer remains to be seen, he was a good jobber.

4chan leak, dunno if true, looks pretty predictible:

With the launch of MK1 around the corner, I’ve received a draft of Mortal Kombat 1’s next trailer from an associate working with NetherRealm’s marketing team. This next trailer is set to debut on Friday at EVO 2023, and will be a trailer showcasing the Outworld Army titled the official “Great Legion” Trailer. Three playable characters will have gameplay showcased during this trailer: Reiko, Reptile, & General Shao. One new Kameo fighter will also be revealed: Motaro. Similar to the previous three trailers, it will be a mix of MK1’s story elements mixed with gameplay. One difference is that unlike the previous trailers which were narrated by Liu Kang, this “Great Legion” trailer will be narrated by Shang Tsung, showing a more villainous side of Mortal Kombat 1’s roster.

The trailer begins with Shang Tsung approaching an unknown figure who is revealed to be General Shao. We see Shang Tsung convincing Shao that he is the only one that can save Outworld from its downfall.

Shang Tsung states that “The Great Legion is one of the deadliest militant forces in all the realms, which makes a perfect vessel for my plans to come”

This story mode clip then cuts into Shao’s gameplay. Following Shao’s gameplay segment is another story clip of Shao commanding Reiko and Motaro to find Liu Kang after learning of his alliance with Li Mei and her Sun Do police force. We then see the clip of Reiko and Motaro confronting Li Mei, which was previously shown at the exclusive Comic Con panel. The clip then again cuts into Reiko’s gameplay along with a Motaro Kameo assist. Reiko has a close range mix-up play style, with his primary weapons being his daggers.

The final character to be revealed in this trailer is Reptile, with a new clip of Reptile and his Zaterran soldiers surrounding Kung Lao, Kenshi, & Johnny Cage. Reptile is the leader of his Zaterran Battalion. A gameplay clip of Reptile is shown with fatalities from General Shao and Reiko following after.

BTW what is the best day during EVO for another characters releves? NRS think NOT the that when MK tournament is being held, instead we got one in Sunday, when SF6 will shine.

Reptile is easy to fuck up, I wonder what his desing is, fingers crossed for MK4 outfit.

So theory that Havik=King Jerrod is out. My guesses are:

1. Hotaru - Havik's nemesis goes mad and turn Havik himself, Hotaru was also deconfirmed by Boon for being in MK1 roster ('Notaru' tweet)
2. Shujinko - he is that monk form Boon's tweet, Shujinko means 'protagonist' in Japanese so it fits that generic NPC character
3. Hanzo - same tragedy as in previous timelines, went mad instead of dying and being resurrected as revenant - it is the least propable option because it should be kind of disposable character
4. Dairou - Orderrealm origin / expendable fighter

:negative:

Havik looks also like shit, I hope for better alt costume. BTW he is confirmed to be Dairou (origin: Orderrealm).

At least Reptile is no longer a jobber and Ashrah gained some indentity.

Has any artist / designer ever been as vindicated by history as John Tobias?

Kano and Sonya have been staple characters since day 1. The other ones mentioned, not so much. Filler characters. They're mostly remembered only by hardcore MK players.
Are those really characters? I thought he would was making a joke.

Compilation of newest 4chan story leaks:

  • "you can pick from a pool of about 6 characters for most of the story. theres only a couple 1 character only chapters". Seems to explain why the script used a filler [PROTAGONIST] denotation.

  • Geras appears to be the final boss (with a Cetrion Kameo). "he fuses with her because liu wont let geras reset the timeline and he needs whats left of her powers to have a chance against liu. shes still very strong even tho shes weaker than 11."
    • "its because the timeline coming together could kill infinite amounts of people unless the timeline gets reset. liu thinks theres still a way to save it and he fixes everything on acident. kronikas for real death at the end turns every hourglass into sand and closes all the timeline gateways. time travel is no more but some characters from other timelines get trapped in lius current one. takeda and ermac are from 2 different ones"

  • "the end is the battle of armageddon 2.0 except with people from different timelines and different versions of the same characters. It takes place on a pyramid also except blaze isnt the one theyre tryna get to"

  • End credit scene teases Onaga

  • "[Raiden's] cousin is shunjinko. hes with the earth realmers for some of the early story but gets put in a "time prison" and becomes an old man by the end." He's the generic looking monk Ed Boon was teasing.

  • Sindel is good but dies, becomes evil when she comes back, then becomes good again by the end. "she dies early on and gets brought back halfway through. she comes back evil but becomes good once she sees mileena try to kill katana"
    • "mileena tries to fight kitana to the death and ends up losing. she begs kitana to kill her but she refuses and mileena just cries and runs off after she realizes what shes done. its the only time she gets her humanity back"

  • Chameleon is Khameleon's missing brother and the reason why she's a Royal Guard.

  • "Reptile doesnt die but quan and shang try to use him to bring back Onaga. It ends up backfiring and and his human form and lizard form end up fusing together. he ends up looking kinda like mkx Reptile"

  • "Smoke doesnt die but he leaves the clan to find himself after he sees cyber smoke. He doesnt want to fight anymore"

  • Hanzo is the Lin Kuei Grandmaster and ends up becoming Noob Saibot. "Bi-Han/Sub gets killed by Noob when he tries to kill his brother. Noob is an NPC and they reveal it's scorp and sub's father who sub killed to take control of the clan and that his name is Hanzo"

  • Ermac is from Shang Tsungs MK11 story ending timeline. He kills Tanya but Quan Chi brings her back—under the stipulation that she serves the Brotherhood of Shadows.

  • Unsure if Invasions has a story attached to it.
Too lazy to screenshot every reply and attach it to the quoted italicized text for posterity right now, but I'll do it later.
Edit:
  • Despite being a Kameo, Tremor is somewhat relevant to the story. "hes in subs clan and turns on everyone once they find out about the crimes he comitted. he ends up nearly killing smoke"

https://www.reddit.com/r/Mortalkomb...mpiling_all_the_major_story_details_from_the/

It's getting convoluted, Sub-Zero is Bi-Han, Kuai Liang is Scorpion, Hanzo is Noob, Dairou is Havik, Reptile is Dr. Connors...

And there's going to be new trailer on Tuesday during Gamescom, let us if if those Megan Fox rumors from June are true and she's indeed voicing and modelling Nitara.

Sort of makes Liu Kang look like a dick when, given the opportunity to rewrite time as he sees fit, he turns Raiden into just some guy.
