i know man, i thought this was mortal kombat not, Saturday night fever meets KILL BILL, someone should go up to him and be like " HEY WHATS THAT (points toward the sky)" and then fatality him........
......yeah i said it

LOL, i mean how you gonna have a warrior, bad ass lookin, then look like a cross dresser? lol, and i cant really see, but is that a fro hes got? lol hippys is mk.... i think i saw this guy inna bruce lee movie...

i think so too, his alternate should have been something to do with his Realm of Chaos look or something not japenese

that's what they were going for, the funky 70s kung fu movies. did you listen to the commentary? i don't like it too much, but i don't hate it. but it does look like the kung fu movies definitely.

pic please?

rofl that look is hilarious...if i ever used that costume it would be to either whup up on or to tease sum1 with...look jamaicans can fight and bobsled!

I think his alt is awesome! It brings back the old school in Mortal Kombat and takes MK back to its origins.
Peace Out

The alt looks to be inspired by the black guy in brue lee's Enter the Dragon.

I never liked the look of Darrius. And now I think he looks even worse than before!
They said it was the last character that they came up with for Deception... Well they must of been scraping hard at the bottom of that barrel.

Its awsome!

They said in the Bio that he was the last character they added in...why am I not surprised. He has recycled moves...not surprised. His primary costume looks awesome though. His alternate has an afro...why am I not surprised? Does Boon see anything other than stereo types when looking at African Americans? It looks like the laziest thing ever, even with the reasoning behind it (Enter the Dragon is prolly the most well known movie to have what they were going for in character). They out due themselves everytime...Outstanding...

It looks like a DISCO DANCER of the 60's!
Look at his hair!!!
I know, its very very bad.
It looks awful IMO....btw, NOTHING like Kill Bill, so please, dont insult that movie

I think its great! I just hope Li mei dont lose her eye and start wearing an eye patch. GIVE PEI ME- I mean Shujinko a HANZO SWORD!! Tanya can have the yellow jumpsuit!

Kill Bill sucks. Anyway, I agree. I hate Darrius's alternate costume just because it's such an over-done design. I'm not joking when I say that either, there are literally a ton of games with a black character that's all 70's and what not.
There's one in Tekken, there's one in Bushido Blade, there's on in Rage of the Dragons, etc. It's all been done before, and I'm just annoyed to see this design again. It's so un-original.

Why is a shirtless Eddie Gordo in Mortal Kombat?

Jim Kelly is his name.Obviously all you people saying it is horrible do not know what the hell the tribute costume is to or for.All you know is "Who are you gonna use first" and "who looks sexier,Jade or Mileena".The fact that they took the Black belt Jones look and added it to a character in Mk,i think is outstanding and letting us know where they got their initial ideas from.There is nothing stereotypical about it.I never realized that having a afro is sterotypical.That's like saying "your hair is straight" is being stereotypical.Think about what you type before you type it.Some people will hate it,others will love it.Isn't that the story behind every Mk character in the first place?Get the point!

A shirtless Tiger, you mean. There's also the shirtless Mr. Jones (Rage of the Dragons). And don't forget the shirtless Tony Umeda (Bushido Blade 2).

Ok Tekken gets Law and we get black Liu Kang. I dont understand this at all.

lol disco dancer from the 60's
its the 70s not the sixties
hell yeah that thing rocks, he looks like the black guy in the bruce lee movies. I love darrius even more. lol
bad outfit my ass

That alt. is so funny. I swear, I almost spit my drink out all over my keyboard when I saw it. It's worse than Johnny Cage trying to be James Bond. LMAO!!

Yeah, see, a tribute to an awesome person like Jim Kelly is great and all but there have been fifty billion others that have done it.

Yeah Darrius is a cool guy but his alt looks crappy. Like I have an old Bruce Lee movie and if I pop it in then I will see Darrius in the screen saying something I dont understand, getting a fighting stance with some dumb smirk, and end up getting his ass handed to him by Bruce Lee.
Thats what the guy looks like.

OMG, Boon is the stereotypical racist! Black man has curly hair. AHHHHHHH! This forum is full of psychos, I swear. I think most of you'd be more happy without a game to play. I think most of you are better served in a padded cell without an Xbox or PS2.
