That picture does looking interesting, but I'd say that's just the camera angle. However, it could actually be a severed arm.

Whereabouts in the April archive does it say this?

where it gives that whol big FAQ on MKD below noobs severed arm picture...

http://www.mksecrets.net/images/newsarchive/2004/na-april/image05.jpg

Is this the pic you're talking about?

the link isn't working but the image is Noob fighting baraka and noob kicked him and his right arm is severed. It's under the april news archive it's not hard to miss

does anyone care that there can be severed arms or legs cuz no1 seems to be posting at all n i thought it was cool.....

I eventually found the picture you were speaking about. I searched but i couldnt find any words about severed limbs or anything, but if it is there, the article that information was taken from received this statement from Midway (thanks to MkOnline!!):

"The news source was an outdated and unofficial gameplay document that was not intended for media use. The unofficial information was taken without prior consent or approval from Midway Games and therefore should not be considered accurate and/or official Mortal Kombat news."

To be honest, the picture is too small to be able to tell whether or not Noobs arm has been severed. It may just be in a funny position for all we know.

I don't know what you're talking about. There aren't any limbs missing in that shot. Noob's left arm is behind is leg, and his right arm is reaching towards the camera. You can make out his fingers without any serious trouble.

Ok not our right his right and it is off i reallllly wanna post the picture so i can prove to you it is off but i dont know how

I'm 100% positive that his arm to the leftt of the picture is not attached you can see the cut off point i swear to you.......someone tell me how to post picturess pleeeeeease
Maybe our pictures are diffrent i highly think our pictures are diffrent because in the one I am looking at his arm is off his body

But if MK:D has this severed limbs while in combat thing, then how are they going to perform fatalities that requires their arms???

I had this idea when they said that, if u beat on a person enough in the match, like say u fucked the other persons arm up when fighting them. Then at the end of the match u can do a limb fatality and do whatever with whatever it hurt alot. Like how Scorpion ripped off of Sindels arms or when Mileena ripped off Li Meis Leg as a fatality. Maybe those arent really one of their fatalitys, just a limb fatality, but it doesnt say limb fatality cause that would be stupid. imo
