Yay... for now. But if he's too much like Johnny Cage, it'll probably become a nay.

Actually, I believe he's here because he wants to test his skills against the Dragon King. Who knows? Maybe he feels he needs some proper competition, even it kills him.

Hmmm...Ben.
is his name "Ben"?
is his name "Kobra"?
Hmmm..Kobra. I like the sound of Kobra..but I dont like the sound of ben. Thats like putting a John, Carl, David, Paul, and scott into mortal kombat. We need something more brutal then ben.
Kobra sounds cool...Python sounds better..mabey even Pythos? from what ive seen ben/kobra looks like a neat character. Im indecissive on Yay or Nay...

Eh...I think he's ok so far. I guess I'll just have to wait until MKD comes out to have a clearer opinion on him.

I have a strong feeling that his name will be changed to Kobra which would be a great thing since Ben sounds a bit too ordinary to me.

He seems to have cobra designs on his costume as well as the US flag. Perhaps he's connected to Johnny Cage or maybe not.

I for one like this guy. He looks like a straight up brawler without any goofy ass costumes (See Johnny Cages 2nd DA).

....they never really said his name.....

hmmmmm... maybe he IS Johnny Cage. *duh, duh, dmmmmmm*

lol, ok, enough joking. Anyway, if he's just a Cage replacement, like Nightwolf was in MK3, I will automatically hate him. Just like I hate...... Nightwolf. Sorry, it's just the way it is for a fan of one character or another. (as was already pointed out, Jarek is a prime example of this.)
The reason people think he's connected to Cage is 1., the American flag, and 2., the fact that he looks like Cage's model, with longer hair. He even has the whole bare feet thing going on. He also has Karate. If you remeber Cage's tattoo from DA, it was a dragon, I think, but it looked a lot like the design this new dude has. I honestly don't think he's connected to Cage, but he was definately crafted with Cage's model. The similarities are quite odd, though..... I guess we'll just have to stay tuned to find out more.

dang Nightwolf hater but guess what Nightwolf is taking his place again. (insert evil laughter)

IF they keep the name 'BEN' which I don't think..then NAY

If they change the name then YAY!!!
