Could this maybe be Raiden second suit? (personally, I hope this is really Kahn, we can't be sure...)

It has to be Kahn! I might have a lil proof!
Look! It looks just like him! This was an early pic of MKDA Shao Kahn! He has pants on and black gloves and a chest strap!

I just got my GamePro in the mail and I can see the picture alot clearer now.

That is definitely a skull on the armor plate and there is no white hair, that's part of the silver mask he is wearing. It has to be Kahn or a new character based on Kahn.

It's definitely not Fujin, unless he like's skulls now and wears a mask.

What? Shao Kahn is Hsu Hao???...

No! That was origionaly Shao Kahn and then they changed it into Hsu Hao!

I knew that he was called "Kahn" at the beginning of MKDA, but I think this was without matter with Shao Kahn, I think just that this was waiting to choose an other name, like for Ben/Kobra or Skab/Havik (Skab/Onaga?)

bottom line....i can see kahn returning to take back everything he's lost.....not for good and not for evil...he's the wild card...he fits perfectly into so many different story lines that it's not even funny......i do belive this to be shao kahn and i hope to god that he's FULLY(no half assed kahn) playable in m.k.d

dude i havent seen the pick yet (and i dont get the no posting scans thing)

but onaga kahn would be cool name

No, it was Hsu Hao's original name, Khan (not Kahn).

I have an idea..................... Wait for the game to come out

I know who it is. It is Havik or Onaga. It just looked at the new Gamepro and compared him to the unknown character in the new video at IGN.

so is this shoa kahn or shu hoa..or some1 else.

I have a great statement,deception is just two months away.

Sadly that's not Shao kahn.

It's Skab's alternate costume as seen in some puzzle combat videos. You can clearly see it in the latest ign video.

first of all hsu hao isnt shao khan you noobie.

and hsu haos name in MKDA was Kublulous Khan. not sure if i spelled kublulous correctly but look at his pic in the MKDA krypt, and also i think boon put that to throw us off cause of the chest straps and the name, DAMN he got us good with that joke befre MKDA came out. BUT no hsu hao isnt khan and never was and there names are different also dude. khan and kahn.
havent seen the damn pic that good but looks like fujin from the pic that is still up cause fujin i already know is playable from my sources and from ed boon laughing when we asked if he was playable also fujin is in the clouds in the main menu of the game where is shows arcade mde options,chess kombat, konquest, that menu has clouds and "fujin" is seen so boom my there goes one hint plus jade is playable not sure if they took her from the cell and changed her or if they are making the jailcell ppl playable. Reiko is in the jailcell and if he is unlockable just like jade gets her 3d outfit when we seen her unlocked then reiko will get his own outfit in 3d and boon could be playing another joke on us with it being reiko LOL. the SIZE of the fighter doesnt matter either, Raiden doesnt look so big in his pics and he is the same size if not i think taller then khan i think. Moloch didnt look so tall and cyrax didnt look like he weighed 700 pounds LOL(joke)
raiden didnt looks big and khan doesnt have to either, they are the same height as far as i know.
i do know raiden is 7 feet tall. well peace out ima go look for the pic or get the mag some how.

Hsu Hao's beta name was Kublai Khan (because he's Mongolian! Yok yok yok! Oh those crazy MK developers). It was changed to Hsu Hao in the final build, but very few people liked him enough to care.

His weapon style rules though.
And congratulations to the person who figured out that it was "Skab", (another character beta name). Well-done, Jax007.

I've also seen the pic and yes it's most likely Skab. Plus if it was Shao Kahn wouldn't that be a little dissapointing? The overall design would be to weak to be Kahn, if Kahn were to show up in deception I would believe his appearance would deffinitely be as enormous and bold as the Dragon King's.

plus the fact that hes dead...

You're new, so you weren't here for the big Shao Kahn is alive debates, but suffice it to say; Shao Kahn is immortal and Deception will prove it.

it was confirmed shao kahn isnt dead...he was beaten within an inch of his life. hes slowly recovering.

I still thinking that it's Darrius in his alternate costume... he isn't more "white" than Tanya, and it would swear that I see dark glasses in his face...

Next to Noob, Darrius is the blackest character in MK history. Tanya is tanned.

Noob has a white skin, and Darrius, for me, isn't more black than Jax or Cyrax...

Black, get it? He's black. Blaaack. Ha ha ha.

Aw, forget it.

Noob has a white skin, and Darrius, for me, isn't more black than Jax or Cyrax... _________________________ Yeah it's true, but the guy with Tanya on the pic is clearly not black... Maybe this isn't Shao Kahn, but this is absolutely not Darrius... Except if he's able to change of color skin...
