You have no proof whatsoever. Plus, you're terrible at identifying characters by their silhouette. Next time make a senseful topic. Ha.

Don't jump to conclusions, Bub! He's yet to be seen, but he's been confirmed and mentioned many times by the creators at Midway.
Case on point, he is mentioned as Raiden's ally in the latter's bio. If he wasn't in the game, they would have probably mentioned Sub Zero as his ally (play MKDA. Sub Zero is now the grandmaster, hence the leader of the earthrealm warriors).
So why wasnt he mentioned then?

i don't like Liu Kang,but i'm intrigued by his zombie/ghost look....a decaying Liu,haha,time will tell.


fear the Noob....

Dairou, Jade, Scorpion, Baraka, Mileena, Sub-Zero, Liu Kang, Skab.

Kabal, Kira, Hotaru, Nightwolf, Bo' Rai Cho, Sindel, Shujinko, Sektor.

Kobra, Noob, Ermac, Li Mei, Ashrah, Kenshi, Smoke, Tanya.

This is the E3 Select Screen, surely different that the final version, because in this select screen, doesn't appears Raiden & Darrius... I suppose that Liu Kang, Shujinko and perhaps Sektor becomes secret characters, and replaced (in the select screen) by Raiden, Darrius and perhaps new character (with 10 "classic", 6 "MKDA" and 8 new fighters)

Ermac looks like a Iraqi ninja

Many people seem to be forgetting that just because Lui is in the game, doens't signify by any means that he's one of the default characters. The E3 select screen may have most of the start-out cast, but after hearing in an interview that Shujinko had to be unlocked and that Rayden was a part of the cast, I began to weigh the accuracy of the E3 screen with a grain of salt.

And with Lui Kang being brought back from the dead(and not being revealed yet), he's by far the most likely candidate for being a hidden character.

Two words : source code...

Even if Liu Kang won't maybe in the select screen, he will be in the game, this is a fact (I don't like him, but it does't matter, I won't play as him, that's all...)

When did it become confirmed Liu was a player character? Last I checked Midway had only said he was in the game as a ghost and zombie. Being in the game doesn't always = an actual playable/fightable character.

As for the source code of the site, we already know that Damashi or whatever is someone in Konquest. How do we know the same doesn't apply for Onaga and Havik? I have seen absolutely nothing to indicate that either are actual playable characters.


Am I the ONLY one here that doesn't jump to conclusions?

Ok, I'm agree with you, nothing can prove that Liu will be playable in the game, but it would be weird to bring him back just to play the "extras"...

Damashi case is very different from Havik and Onaga: Damashi doesn't appear in source code... I shall not say that all the characters present in source code will be playable, but they will be all present in arcade/story mode, it's a certainty... Furthermore, Havik or Onaga will necessarily be Skab, otherwise, how to explain that this last one is totally absent from the list? Your theory doesn't hold the road, Anyanka... :/

How do you know it's a certainty they will be in arcade mode or even in the game all together? How are you "certain"? Havik is an friend of Darrius, but that could mean anything. Sonya was a friend of Jax in MK II but she wasn't playable, she was chained up. Who knows what Havik's deal is. He could actually be dead for all we know and Darrius is avenging him. We don't even know if he's a "he" for that matter.


There's countless reasons the list of characters in the source could be incorrect. They could be characters that didn't make the cut, they could just be alternate outfits, they could even be red herrings.


Chances are they probably are in but probably doesn't = "confirmation".

Why to make appear in source code characters who wouldn't be in the game, then? It would be stupid... The fact that Havik is mentioned as Darrius friend can't be taken into account: Shao Kahn, Kitana, Quan Chi appear as allies or foes of certain characters, nevertheless they are absent of source code, contrary to Havik... For me, it's already practically a confirmation of Havik presence in arcade mode. (For Onaga, there is a doubt yet, but we'll see...)

i think he is in the game we just dont no how to play has him yet

Well, this entire thread has been invalidated.

You cant honestly say that Liu Kang isnt in the game because, in the July issue of Game Informer, they did an Interveiw with Midway and they said,"Every single Mortal Kombat Character you can think of will be in the Konquest mode." See, just because the characters arnt Playable, doesnt mean that they arnt in the game. I still think MK should add a "Create a Fighter" mode and allow you to fight with them online.

besides i belive some1 found a pic of lui kang..and it looks like him by 90%.

They may have meant for him to be playable or fightable at some point. Maybe he is Darrius' alternate outfit. Maybe he is in an actual ending. Maybe it's because he's new to MK. Maybe it's just to get people to think he's playable. Who knows? I don't work for Midway. I can't read their minds. I am not claiming I know. I'm not the one saying stuff is "confirmed".

Remember Midway put out the copyright to "Tassia" before DA came out and everyone assumed she would be in? Nothing came of that either.

The MKTeam confirmed that Liu Kang returns in Ghost & Zombie form... and no "Create a Fighter" in MKDeception, perhaps in MK7.

so I guess it's probally not a good idea to study up before creating a thread, you definately won't sound like a complete moron when people let you know that Liu Kang is confirmed as a ghost/zombie. I don't know if that word "confirmed" means that he's in it, you decide.
