So that you don't accept of once it's LI MEI, that this alive one and will be in the game?

Did anyone else notice that when asked about the fact that there's 24 playable characters, he said he can't comment on the number of characters? Why be evasive on that when they've said 24 in previous interviews?

Sounds to me like they might have increased the number of characters...

I am hoping on a max of 30 characters.

Ahh, it's always a good day when new MK:D info surfaces. Thanks SubScorpion!!

I'm thinking that the girl in pink/purple on the chessboard is Li Mei. It looks more akin to her first costume in MK:DA, just better.

As for the girl in blue (I'm sorry, I don't think I'm colorblind, but I'm about 99.9 percent sure that's blue) it looks just like the purple costume found in the OPM article this past month. If that's Li Mei, and (I have a strong feeling) that the woman on the chessboard is Li Mei, then is it possible that we'll see 3+ costumes per character? It's certainly looking that way.

As for Bo Rai Cho...If they can expand his drunken move set, and give him a better weapon then a freakin stick, I'd be inclined to give him a second chance. As for the puking and the farting...no thanks. Pretty cool new look though.

I'm starting to think that the characters showing up in chess game will make it into the big game itself. I think that people assumed that since all of the MK characters will be in the Konquest mode, that this will be the case for the puzzle/chess games as well. I don't think so. I have a feeling that Quan Chi will be playable, as will Kitana perhaps. I vaguely recall seeing Bo Rai Cho in the chess game in an earlier pic, and now he seems to be playable.

I can't wait for E3 to find out what other characters will be playable, what the final count will be etc. It's nice however to see more confirmations of Kabal and Smoke in the game. I can't wait to see what they do with Kabal!!

why won`t you expt the fact that li mei is dead and wont be a part of the game

Because just about every person on this board that claims to have inside info (most of which haven't been wrong on ANYTHING so far) all say that Li Mei is in this game.

As for the people complaining about the importance placed on fatalities...Lighten up. You haven't played the game yet. They have a HUGE team over at Midway. You guys seem to think that focusing on one aspect of the game comes at the expense of focusing on another aspect. I've read in interviews that the MK team has a whole individual team working just on fatalities. I'm sure there's another team, probably bigger, working on gameplay. I seriously doubt that one part of the game will suffer because other parts were focused on instead. If one part of the game sucks this time around, it'll be because they didn't do a good job, not because they were too busy spending time on other things.

I'm personally happy that they spend time on the fatalities. A huge amount of stage fatalities, and two per character, I think that's awesome. Besides, it looks like the graphics are a bit better, the stages are definitely better, and it really looks like they listened to the fans on what characters to bring back. Plus, as someone already stated, one of the MK teams main goals, as said in the interview, was to expand on the core gameplay. I couldn't be happier with all of this stuff! I'll wait to pass judgement when the game comes out on the gameplay aspect. Hopefully we'll get the increased combos, speed, fluidity, and weapon variation that the MK team is promising.

the girl in blue definately isnt tanya, shes too light and also they would probably give her yellow clothing. Sareena maybe not because shes pale white and shes a dark character who i dont think would wear those clothes. I think its either li mei or kitana. im hoping its kitana!

Well, if the pic with Kenshi from that mag was Li Mei, and the pic in the chessboard game is most likely Li Mei, then the new girl in that pic with Nightwolf has to be someone other than Li Mei, unless she has three outfits...

So... Sareena? Kitana? Someone new? Doesn't look like the concept pic of Kira enough to be her.

I'm thinking the girl fighting Nightwolf is Sereena, since her hair is very similar to Sereena's and Sereena did like wearing dark blues and blacks. Maybe she got a tan. Might be Tanya, but her skin's alittile too light for her.

As for the girl on the chess board, she does look an awful lot like Li Mei, as much as I don't want to admit it

Hey Midway, can we get some shots of these people were we can actually *gasp* make out their faces? Nothing but awkard angles and terribly blurry pics so far.

Oh and I still think the 24 character limit is deception

I hate Li Mei, she had no scope for storyline in MKDA, had poo speciall moves and even more runny poo fatalities.. And top it off she died in her ending becoming one of the DK's Soldiers, lets leave it at that please MKD Staff.

why does sindel have shorter hair in the chess game? (a lil off the li mei subject..)

the links don't work

The blue girl is not Kitana, sorry.

Its Li Mei.

But I also think she could be Sareena.

But its Li Mei.

I think its awesome they gave her another chance. She diserves it.

I agree. They would not give Sareena both of Li Mei's fighting styles (Liu He Ba Fa and Baji Quan as we've seen in the screenshots of her). That'd be cheap and not really that cool.

I bet anything that is Li Mei.

Can anyone do me gav and put the sreenshots in youre post so i can see them the links dont work please?

ummmm dude speak for yourself. I nver said lei mei is in the game.

I said she wasnt confirmed and squashed all your damn rumors.

KITANA IS NOT playble either.

i havent seen the pic of the person u are talking bout but it sounds like KIRA to me.

i will edit after i seen her pic.

jus go to www.teamxbox.com and find them there

The Team Xbox site is not working...some MySQL error...

I really want to see the pics, damn it!

Actually aside from the very reliable Konqrr most "insiders" I read posts of claim Li Mei has NOT been confirmed for MKD. Many have gone even further, claiming she will be killed in the intro.

That being said the woman on the chess board looks alot like she is Li Mei and makes me think Konqrr was right once again.

WTF like he said, the damn link doesnt work.

teamxbox.com doesnt work no shit works.

damn bo rai and li mei r in the game..noooo i knew they were, but i was praying.. but now there r clear pics of both..damn!!!!

All the new screen shots so far look awesome. I really like the one with scorpion beside the 2 walls full of spikes. I'm thinking the walls will come closer until it crushes the poor spectre.

Everything from the interview sounds great IMO, and i cant wait to play konquest. Granted, i cant wait to see the movie sequences. The gameplay engine seems like it will be better to, sweet.

Thanks alot for the info sub-scorpion.

Well, I'll say one thing: FUCK BO RAI CHO! God, how could they bring back one of the least played characters in the history of Mortal Kombat. Who gives a fuck who he trained. That's just it, he trained some great fighters, but that doesn't mean he should be used as one. Just let him be in Konquest for story purposes. Oh well, we can't always get what we want. That's really my only gripe about the game so far. The rest looks excellent.

Yeah i was dissapointed at first because li mei was in the game and kitana wasnt. But know i think she deserves a second chance, she needs another chance so she could be unique and people could stop calling her a mileena rip-off. She wasnt that bad in MKDA. But who knows. I think midway isnt sure if shes in or not though. Why havent they confirmed her yet? They have confirmed many other characters for EX. Smoke. which surprised many of us. Li mei has been rumored for so long and still no word on her.
