The title is self-explanatory, to those who just click before thinking. wink

Now that the first trailer of Mortal Kombat: Deception has been released, there's bound to be several, several thread of speculation. It's even begun already. To prevent the amount of spam and repetitive threads that plagues the messageboards last year, I hope that the speculation gets directed into one, single thread --That being this thread.

There are going to be several screen captures of the trailer that will be posted here, so come here if you want to speculate on things, etc.

That being said, let's begin.



I think that's Ermac. But it could be Kenshin, or someone else. Care to speculate? I thought so...

It's not Kenshi.
My reasons:
  • No Katana.

  • The dark look doesn't go with him

  • That weapon is too huge


I hope it's Ermac, I like how he looks.

I am sure that woman that looks like LI MEI in her alt half naked costume is MILEENA.

Look in bleeds pics, she is wearing a MASK!!! And the guys at Gamespot said it was a Mileena with 2 costumes.
I think they're going to follow the story of Kenshi releasing the souls that make up Ermac and thus that character being Ermac. It could be an early version of the model.. as it's very plain looking.

Ermac had green power, as the jewels on his boots are green.

Aside from the weapon, I think its Kenshi. I just cant see Ermac returning and/or Kenshi not being present.

I think the MK team is trying to move away from the over done, 'super hero' looking spandex with countless accessories and ornments to a more realistic yet simple costumes that give the characters more of a warrior going into battle appearance rather costumes that just look great..

i'd like to speculate on the stage fatality. he did say "finish him" before the juggle. so either you HAVE to juggle your opponent or you just type in a button command and it does it automatically. i'd rather it type in a button command. yeah, juggling to a pit fatality was fine in killer instinct. but it was also 2d. in 3d it would be kind of difficult.

I have to say how much I love Mileena’s look. It looks like a Persian/Arabic outfit. I love it. It is so well done.

Also, the ninjas seem to look VERY SIMPLE I LOVE THAT! That’s what I have been saying we should see!

Their best looks were in Mk1, they were simple and cool, but then they started looking to “heavy” with all the unnecessary things in their costumes. I like the simple style.

Baraka is amazing, his look has shocked me. Also, the new characters like that white girl look very promising.

THE LEVELS!!! I LOVE THEM!!! Wholes in the floor, snake attacks, dead man in the roof, Mk3 style of uppercut to another level .wow, I'm so happy!

Someone, please put the trailer so we can download it in better quality! Many of us can’t see it very well.

That Scorpion and Sub-Zero shot looks promising, I guess that fatality is going to be cool.

I think that's definitely Ermac and I hope it is too. I wanted him to be in MK6 and I guess I got what I wanted...at least for him that is.

Sub-Zero's new look is kinda interesting. He really reminds me of Shredder. I take it they are going for that type of "Shogun Ninja" look with Sub-Zero now, especially since he's grandmaster of the Lin Kuei. The Dragon design on his pants is kinda cool and I like his new look overall even though I still like his MK: DA alt. It seems that he'll have an ice related fatality and that sounds good to me as long as they make it original and cool. (pun intended tongue)

As for Scorpion, he looks good but I'm afraid that it seems that his look hasn't really changed much. :-\ I really wanted him to have a new look. I just hope that his storyline has a boost to it this time.

Mileena looks like a belly dancer to me and I don't know why. *shrugs* It's not necessarily a bad look for her in my opinion, but I don't see why exactly they went for that.

Baraka looks pretty cool and I think he could be more demonic or mutated this time. *shrugs again* Guess we'll have to find out.

OmgIloveErmac. That weapon doesn't look like Kenshi's, nor does the shape of the head. I know it's him. Because if it isn't, or he isn't in the game, I'm going to disown him. Thanks for your cooperation.

I saw that when I did the frame-by-frame. I thought it was like... Smoke... Lol, but now that I look at it again, it's not even close. I was too worried and anxious about Ermac anyways to care! :P
