Just wondering who all of you think is the coolest "rumored" character.
What I mean by that characters that were never actually in a game, playable or secret, but were meerly glitches/rumors. I'll give a brief description of each just to make sure everyone is famaliar with them, if you have any additions to this list, feel free to add them on.
Ermac: Yeah, I know he was in UMK3 and MKT, but he was the original glitch character. For the few who don't know about his origins, he was a glitch of Scorpion, he was the red 'ninja'. Displayed where Scorpion's name should have been, it read "ERror MACro". The capatilized letters are to show where his name came from.
Nimbus Terrafaux: A character that was said to be real, and not a glitch at all. He was supposably an African American kickboxer and he was to appear in MK1. Many fakes were made around the time of the rumor, which added alot of mystery, until they were proven to be false. Still, I've seen many people here who would like to see him in the future.
Skarlet: She's the female Ermac of MK2. A glitch of Kitana or Mileena, she was also a red tinted color. She was dubbed Skarlet by the fanbase, I think by a magazine, though I am not sure. The name "Skarlet" never appeared in MK2 exactly.
Tourch: Though, he eventually turned out to be Blaze, he was part of the MK2 Pit Background. He seemed to be having a battle with Liu Kang, a green Liu Kang though. Note to some of you, Tourch is NOT the Fire God from MKM, that character has no name that we know of.
Hornbuckle: Tourch's opponent in that background. Named after a person working with Midway (I think, not sure), most think he is just Liu Kang. But with the developments in Blaze's new storyline in MKDA, he could turn out to be a workman for the Dragon King. As I said, he is of a green tint.
Note: I am not going to include those rumored 'ninja' clones that were supposably in MKT. Pinklet, Blizzard, etc.. they had no real story behind them. As I said, post more if I happened to leave your favorite out. |
You forgot one hhuge one from MK 3. Cyclone; he was a rumored Blue Cyber Ninja. Very popular on the internet message boards in about 1995.
Also, I always heard the red female ninja was called Erinmac, but that's just off my memory.
