Drahmin had a hunched stance, and all though his height and weight are listed as unknown, one can estimate that he stood about 6'6"-6'10", judging by his height in relation to Jax's in Quan Chi's. If you look at characters, you can make out height differences.

Jade, Kai or Smoke (its hard to guess, LOL) EVEN THOUGH, There should only be like 5 new caracters i think secret caracters will be Noob Saibot, Blaze (Improved Though) and Reiko (to finish his damn story) i always thought he was rain, because rain was sindels son, kitanas sister, and maybe he wanted to take kahns place (jus a thought, dont bash me)

how was he Sindel's son? I always asumed Reiko was the general of Edenia, who Kahn killed.
I also kind of asumed that the general of Edenia was probably a relative of Jerrod's, and thus Rain and Kitana were cousins, or something.

Rain was dfinately NOT the brother of Kitana, and because of that, also not the son of Sindel. Who ever spread out that rumour has got quite a fantasy. ;)
Reiko was only a general of Shinnok. (He didn't come from Edenia, did he?)

I figured Reiko being shinnok's general was one face of his character. When we were first introduced to Kitana, to Rain, to Jade, to Sifu Sub-Zero, we had no idea they'd wind up being good guys. Maybe Kahn sent Reiko and Jerrod's souls too shinnok. There he might have been tainted with evil a la' Sindel.
However, Reiko is probably just a Shinnok lacky, with no interesting back plot, much like Noob Saibot, Kia, Jataaka, and Sareena.

Rain was the son of a General in Edenia's Army

You said it yourself: Of A general. There are many generals and besides, Kitana's father was not a general but the ruler of Edenia.
Rain is NOT the brother of Kitana. How can you even think of it? ;P

OK seeing how is everyone still doesnt know bout the reiko thing.
Let me shead some lite, If you find the right site, it will tell you that reiko is officially Shao Kahn, so mk4 and mk gold, when you seen reiko with kahns helmet, that was kahn taking back his place at the throne.
AND JERROD, KITANA'S FATHER WAS ONCE THE GREAT DRAGON KING. So it is jarrod who will reutrn!!!!

Murdoink, you can underline Bo' Rai Cho on the list, there is a drawing of him in the May issue of Game Informer, he has sort of a different look, but it's only the picture. Nowhere does it say that he is confirmed as playable in arcade mode or anything like that. But I'd say chances are pretty high.

Ermac is in Deception. Nothing else matters.

If Kabal is back, then Mavado should be back. It would do good with the storyline.

Well it has been confirmed that Sindel, Tanya, Smoke, Noob Saibot, Kabal, Nightwolf, Liu Kang, Ermac, Mileena, Baraka, Sub Zero, Scorpion, Kenshi, Kira, Scab, Ben, Ashrah, Dairou, Hotaru, and the Dragon King are officially playable in the game!!!
With only 5 spots to go I just hope that:
Kitana
Kung Lao
Raiden
Kintoro
Sonya Blade
make it for the last five
I'd like to see:
Jade
Motoro
Shao Kahn
Tremor
Nitara
are hidden!

When was the Dragon King comfirmed to be playable?
I hope that Shao Khan Kitana and Quan Chi are in

i'm just glad liu kang back

Reiko is NOT Shao Kahn. Jerrod was NOT the Dragon King. Does Kitana look like a lizard to you?

Oh, that's suck so much, where is my little Cage of love ?
SNIIIIIIFFFF !!!!!!

Some people havent kept up wth thte story sinbce the begining, the drasgon king is not a lizzard, reptile was the only lizzard in the game, just cause it says dragon king doesnt mean lizzard. Look at lui kang, the chossen dragon. he doesnt look lizzardy does he
You can also say what you will, ed boon and team already confirmed it on Mk that Reiko and Kahn, r the same people

how could they not put rayden in deception? he's one of my favorites? they could of added him and gave him a really cool look.

There is still hope that the thunder god will yet be confirmed as a returning character....However there is a rumor that he dies in the intro movie of the game.

At fight night, Mike Taran said Reiko and Kahn are not the same person but they are somehow associated.
There is a picture of the Dragon King in Raiden's ending in DA, he looks lizardly.
-F.

find the gameboy advance, version....on the web site, it says thar shao kahn finally, returns from his throan( aka ) shows reiko sitting in the throane and the helmet on him, also shows it in mk4 and gold. ok and as for the dragon king, the game title is deception, and that ed said you will be guessing till the end and still be wrong, why do you insist that the dragon king is really a dragon, when the title is deception, and plus reptile has a human form......

Even Ed Boon said Reiko and Kahn aren't the same guy. That alone is enough finish that argument. And regardless of whether the Dragon King is or was a lizard thing of some kind, Jerrod wasn't him. Jerrod has always been said to have been a kind and loving ruler of Edenia. The Dragon King has said to be a merciless evil that ruled Outworld. So they are not the one and the same. Edenia and Outworld aren't the same place, so I don't see how you could ever have thought Jerrod and the DK were the same.

First off.... Cant use wat i say scroll up and see I had said ed boon and team confirmed that they r the same, and also the game title is Deception, He prob was kind and all the, but the deception Lie's somewhere, you cant just say it isnt him cause the polls say they act totally diff.... You got to remember the key word Deception..... guessing till the end which was what he said in the article, and still will be wrong!!

That Gameboy MK also said that Liu Kang got killed by Shinnok, and Kai got Raiden's staff and a whole bunch of other stff that obviously isn't true.
At fight night last year, Mike Taran said they're not the same guy, that's the most recent word, that's what we're sticking with.
Same thing about the Dragon King. Play MK:DA, watch Raiden's ending, there is a picture with the Dragon King in it at the end. He is very big, and very reptilian in nature.
Human Reptile is gone, he has devolved. They never said if he can go back to looking human, even if he gets to Zaterra, and even that requires him to have not become the vessel for the Dragon King, which doesn't seem likely, since there's no other way the DK could've come back.
-F.

What about Kung-Lao ? This character Rocks... why havent they put him in Deception? I also kinda miss Rain! --- (remember the chant RAIN WINS!!)

Oh, for God's sake.
STOP WITH THE REIKO/KAHN CRAP. IT'S OVER. THAT WAS 2 GAMES AGO. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MK:D, UNTIL WE KNOW ONE OR BOTH OF THOSE TWO ARE IN THE GAME.
Which we do not.
Take it to another topic. This is for MK:D character discussion.
If you all want to debate over something, consider this, as mentioned above; that lovely new Bo' Rai Cho sketch we've seen in Game Informer. That's a nice new costume, and I don't think they'd go through all that throuble just to give him a 4-minute cameo in Konquest. Let's all argue about that.
Overall, I, too, think his chances for being a playable character look very good.
Ahhh, I can hear the cries and screams of the outraged masses now...
**Drinks sake and farts**
