Ah. Well, Italy is known for it's coffee culture which is why I said that. Funnily enough, I prefer tea as well. Which is really strange for an American. I switched to tea for health reasons. Now when I try coffee it is way too strong. It tastes like mud.


And HYYYYYYYPPPPEEEEE!!

Get this guy some Dragon points!



"Round 1....HYPE!"

Yeah I think that'll be how it goes, maybe not Mileena (though I hope it will be!) but definitely the wearer of boot 6 being revealed.

Then for the two reveals after I bet we get 2 characters per reveal, one from the boot pic and another character.

Hype meter is at the supreme level right now.

woooooop, wooooop. get out the way. the hype train arrives ^.^ uuuuh two reveal plus kitana and kung lao variations.... not bad

So this means we will have gotten a total of FOUR character reveals in January: Kung Lao, Kitana and the two next week.

The Hypetrain is pulling out of the station, folks...

It's gonna be a fun ride to release day.

It does say "2 Mortal Kombat X character reveals & videos next week".

I say boot 6 and another returning character (Mileena, Shang, Reptile or Chameleon).

They won't do two streams on the 29th though, what I meant was that I wonder when next week the other will be. Unless of course I'm wrong & the stream only reveals one & then we'll get a story trailer which reveals the second?

I think they are going to FINALLY pull a smart marketing move and reveal characters how I have said they should release them in the first place. 2 @ a time 1 returning 1 new. That way we get all of the hype of the returning character and some of that hype starts to surround the new character.

I really REALLY think that the returning character is Fujin. The 2-3 Fujin tweets from Boon and the "Baff" pic he released just tells me that Fujin is one the way.

Some people claim that the bow looks "sinister" or "evil", but I honest to god think that's just the dark theme that NRS is going for in this game. People are saying it about Sub-Zero/Kitana as well. Oh Sub-Zero looks so sinister it must be Bi-Han, or Why is Kitana so dark looking? Is she Mileena in disguise? No, it's just how NRS want this game to look and feel.

My opinion on the Bow is that if you ignore the spikes this looks like one BIG ass bow. It's also golden in appearance. That to me just seems kinda heavenly or godlike. Mix that with the fact that Fujin has wielded a bow before and he has been heavily hinted at lately. Then, mix all of it together and ladies and gents I believe Fujin is about to blow us away (haha puns).lol

I have no idea who the newbie will be, but my bets are on Jacqui Briggs or someone evil. We have WAAAY too many good guys at this point. Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Raiden, Kitana, Kung Lao, and Cassie are all aligned with the good side or have previously been aligned with good.

Kotal is starting to look Neutral in nature.

We don't know Ferra/Torr and D'Vorah's alignment (though for the sake of it I will assume they are evil).

So that really just leaves Quan Chi and Kano as our CONFIRMED bad guys.

So, yeah hoping for an evil reveal next to Fujin. Whoever it is will probably be Kitana, Kung Lao, and Fujin's punching bag in the stream.lol

So awesome. Sucks for me though, I have to work at that time and I won't be able to get out of it. I'm going to have to watch when I get home.

I hope of the reveals is someone new from the comic. Give me Jacqui.

They will probably show it all at once. If not we may get 1 character with a vid say earlier in the week, then the stream w/ the other character on Thursday?

I thought it would be shown all at once but Boon says "2 Mortal Kombat X character reveals & videos", plural- so we're getting two vids for sure.

Hopefully soon they'll say when both are.

Please don't be Mileena and Shang Tsung, please don't be Mileena and Shang Tsung...

The stream on Thursday for sure which will include one character reveal. He can spill the beans on the other vid/character at anytime prior.

I would be over the moon if Shang Tsung was one of the characters revealed next week. I wouldn't mind Mileena, either.

I'm guessing at least one of them will be new though. Probably the 'bow character' Ed teased on Twitter that is boot #6.

I think you are right. Fujin and a newcomer. Hopefully the newcomer comes without a stupid name like Salazar or Ron Tan Cho.

I know but I do not live in Italy. In Italy, breakfast is just a cup of coffee.

I live in the UK and in the UK people drink tea.

Lol. Don't jinx it, because at least one will probably get revealed and the other will be new (boot 6).

I thought you live in Italy because your profile says Italy under nationality. I apologize for the assumption.

I mean I wouldn't mind if they were in the game, but for them to be revealed in the stream just over a Gamespot commercial that spat out their names seems anticlimactic for me rather than see Shang pop out in Story Mode like Smoke did unexpectedly in MK9

Sadly, I think it'll indeed be a case of damage control.

Awesome can't wait for this

Off topic:

My nationality is Italian. I am not British and I would find it offensive if someone refered to me as such. Italians believe in jus sanguinis. Jus saguinis means "the right of blood". Any person with Italian heritage can call themselves legitimately Italian. If they want to, they can apply for full citizenship and even have voting rights without ever living in Italy. The country which they live in is irrelvent. Obviously this principle does not apply in the United States.

Italian people are binded by blood which goes back thousands of years and is very important to us. For example, a person who is not of Italian heritage can be born in Italy and live in Italy their entire life but would be considered less "Italian" than someone who is of Italian heritage but was born in another country, even if they do not know Italian language or Italian culture.

On topic:

Looks like we are getting two characters. Really awesome news. We are getting information at least once a week after WB went quiet during the holidays. Clever marketing. Big games like Call of Duty, GTA and Assassins Creed are launched at that time and information would get drowned out. Now that no big games are releasing WB can churn out information and keep people interested.

I hope one of the two is fujin.
