In Konqrr's MK2 kombo video, when it shows the "VS" pre fight screens, Johnny Cage's looks different. IN all the versions I have played, it shows him wearing a jacket and wearing sunglasses, but in the one in that video, it shows jim in a fighting pose. I know about thhe Daniel Pesina fiasco, but is this part of this or what? The sprite was that of Pesina's.....
I think both portraits are Daniel Pesina, if one was somebody else, that person would have been credited surely. I've always wondered about this myself, especially with Johnny Cage being the only MK2 character to have two portraits like that. The one without the glasses, is only in home versions to my knowledge.
Off topic, but I always kinda liked that jacket Johnny wore in one portrait. I think they should bring it back for a 2nd outfit in future.
