As reported previously, the game starts you out with 12 characters to choose from and has room on the character select screen for 12 more. Some of the silhouettes for the hidden characters stand out pretty plainly. The guy with the big conical hat, for example, is almost certainly Raiden. But one of the character slots looks like it has two heads. A two-headed monster, perhaps? No, this slot most likely belongs to what will probably be one of the more interesting characters in the game: Noob-Smoke (based on the old MK games' infamous hidden characters, Smoke and Noob Saibot). Noob-Smoke is two characters in one, letting you switch between the two characters much like the other characters switch fighting styles. Style-branching combos with Noob-Smoke will let both characters get in on the action. Each also appears to have a unique set of special moves. Smoke, for example, has the teleport punch that he and Sektor shared back in Mortal Kombat 3.

now stfu all you whiney bitches who just cannot be patient for clarifications.

MORE NEWS ON SHUJINKO
----------------------------

Shujinko is the character you play in the game's konquest mode, which is an RPG-like adventure with quests, inventory items, and plenty of one-on-one fighting. When you begin the mode, Shujinko is a 13-year-old boy who merely dreams of being one of the great fighters, like Liu Kang. But time flashes forward at key points in your quest. For example, once you get out of your starting town, you'll train with Bo'Rai Cho and time will jump ahead five years. Shujinko will age appropriately. By the end of the mode, which will supposedly take players 20 hours to complete, Shujinko will be an old man with the ability to bust out with a ton of special moves. The brief video shown at a Midway event in San Diego showed the old guy using Sub-Zero's ice, Scorpion's spear, Liu Kang's bicycle kick, and Raiden's torpedo. You'll be able to take Shujinko into the other modes in the game, including online. Aside from Noob-Smoke and Shujinko, other characters that aren't on the standard 12-man roster were displayed, like Sindel, Jax, and Kenshi.



this could explain why some characters appear in a "non-linear" way, or so WE say. I'm liking it

I hate this idea of Noob Smoke. Why not just have 2 separate characters. Bad bad bad idea.

I cant believe you said that, We're the reason they brought back Ermac and noob/smoke and other. It's because we demanded all of it. They've given us a lot more of what we really wanted than you think

Did you see a new select screen somewhere or were you just posting the info from gamespot? I want to see the shadow they are talking about that looks like 2 heads. If there is a new select screen floating around, can you inform us where it is. I went to gamespot and only saw the new pics. Thanks in advance.
