i think hes alright but i think he should have his own moves and not everybody else's

What moves does he have that other people have had?

Hes probably referring to Shang Tsung's Lava move from Trilogy. Thats the only one I know of.

im pretty sure he wont be playable from the start

I'm guessing there is a krypt too, to unlock the fighters... I'm also assuming that the super unlockables wont be in the krypt because the are "super unlockable". If this is the case, how else would you get them, maybe konquest mode?
Motaro would look awesome in deception, but I doubt he would be in the game...
Anyway, back to the topic: thanks for all the info.

One more question. (sorry if off topic). How do I put a picture in my signature spot?
Thanks.

^^Discard that post^^
Anyway, on the topic of Hotaru:
I just saw one of his fatalities. He swings the person around and slams them into the ground multiple times. I could swear I've seen this before. Has anyone else done this fatality. Possibly someone from MK4?

Never been done before by anyone else.

I think Hotaru looks amazing.
Very original, and his story is DEFINITELY one of the best I have seen.
He has potential.

I like his flags

First thing i want to do, is his unlock his alt costume.
