Obreck Wrote: From what I've gathered Noob & Smoke trade a weapon stance in exchange for a bloated list of specials and the ability to work as a team. This would make since, but it'd be a shame to have Noob without his scythe While its safe to assume Noob Smoke is the game's sub-boss at this point, don't be surpised if Liu Kang or Kitana are the final build's actual sub-boss and Noob Smoke is just an endurance match. Boon seemed to have his mind made up who the sub-boss was going to be at E3, a month or two before Noob and Smoke were paired into one character. Just saying this for the "I told you so" factor should the slim possiblity it turns out to be true. As for the running "Noob and Smoke in love" gag, let's hope not. They're not even the same species. Hell, they're not even the same state of matter! Talk about freaky! EDIT: While I'm at it, am I the only one who thinks it's a bit goofy that they gave Noob "Monkey Style" as his only stance?

Noob without his scythe sucks! I loved that weapon and he should definitely have it!
I doubt either Kang or Kitana will be the sub boos, though both are strong possibilities, especially Kitana given her story. If these two are just an Endurance match, that's fine with me. I'm not thrilled about them being the sub boss at all!
Noob having Monkey as his stance is pretty amusing! I can't wait to see the way he moves in it!
And these two aren't in love! That would be tragically bad if they were! lol

GraveDigger Wrote: Hmm. Kano_Fan said that they switch between one another, No third. Unless i'm just jumping the gun... I haven't exactly read all of his thread (my computer is too slow to do that, lol) I don't always like all of the fighting styles for each character and i mainly avoid the one i don't like and focus on the other two. It will suck big-time if Smoke only has Mi Tsu & Noob Saibot only has Monkey. But i'm hoping there is more to it than what we have seen. TGrant, Are you saying that you have seen videos of them fighting at the same time on screen?

I have not seen these videos. Others have. I have no idea how to work together, I just based this thread on my own ideas of how they should work together.
And what you said of them only having the one style, I believe that to be the case from what I've read. I think that is fair considering that there is two of them after all and that they can fight together at any time. But I do understand what you mean about skipping one style. It could in Noob-Smokes case mean you don't play as one of the two of them.

Some cool ideas, bro. I like how the only way the two character's potential can be utilized is by mastering both of them and using them in unison.

i am glad you liked it tgrant.
thanks.
i've got another one.
smoke melt his opponents feet to the ground with blistering hot smoke. their feet are melted firmly in the ground. noob appears and smoke dissappears.
noob then opens up a black hole in the stage about 10 feet from the enemy, after the is open noob leaves.
the black hole starts sucking in everything with is powerful gravity feild. since your enemy is suck to the ground their body is being torn apart limb by limb like in sindel scream fatality. the feet that are still melted to the ground is all that is left of the enemy.
the black hole closes and noob smoke strke a pose

That is a pretty good idea abomb i like it!! i wish htey would put some of these into the game becuz midway is being less creative with fatalities MIDWAY LISTEN TO US AND U BETTER MAKE NOOB SMOKES FATALITIES ORIGINAL AND GOOD

thanks i try to be creative with out making the fatality an overkill with most people wind up making them.
midway shold read these message boards before making the game to see what the fans want

Since when did noob have his scythe
From what I've read Noob-Smoke is going to be awesome. I think it would be cool if they were the sub-boss.

it has been confirmed that they are the sub boss, an they are also unlockable.

Thanks, bro! I guess the challenge in being good with them both is by mastering them both. Relying on one and not knowing how to use the other will prove a set back in game.

lol I love how you ended that in Madonna vogue fashion! Noob-Smoke strike a pose! Good Fatality, man!

Noob unfortunately doesn’t have his scythe! I wish he did as he’d be badass with it!

Hi Guys,
I was just wondering as anyone wondered how it'd be like when u have noob smoke vs noob smoke?? I mean noob smoke vs like a normal character, he can pull off all the cool tag team moves.. Would it still work when nooob smoke fights himself? And also will all this tag team combos work on the Dragon King? Yup, tat's abt it..
btw, nice ideas tgrant.. Why dont u jus work at midway? they really could use you there bro!
Cheers

U really NEED to WORK for Boon..ur ideas are tite!

I never thought of how a match with two Noob-Smokes would go. that would be a great thing to see between skilled players! And against the Dragon King, most moves will be ineffective as they always are with some characters!
I'd love to work at Midway! Thanks for the compliments!

Thanks, man!

Tgrant these are some great ideas! I actually got over the fact they are the sub-boss, and I really like the tag team idea.
Ok, I mostly like this part of your thread:
“For these ideas, I will assume that Noob has complete control over the power of Shadow and that Smoke has complete control over smoke.
Firstly, I’d like to see some circus like acrobatics with these two. Tag team attacks where they propel each other into the air and over the opponents head to attack from behind would be great to see.”
The circus idea kicks ass! By that I mean, we could see so many acrobatics attacks mixed with the 2 characters at the same time! It would not only be difficult, but it would also drive us crazy!
We would never know from where, and who is going to attack. The use of their smoke and shadow abilities also has potential for receiving some major damage.
Great ideas T!

Thanks, Queve! I'm glad you liked these ideas.
The circus acrobatics would look amazing! If they also used the bodies of their opponent to help propel themselves around too, it would be so cool!
And the use of shadow and smoke is integral. As you said, we wouldn't be able to stell where an attack was coming from! It'd be great and so frustrating at the same time.

I RREAAAAAALY like your ideas!!!
From whar I gathered from the video... they play pretty much like that... appearing/dissapearing 1 hitting the other distracting...
Ever since I saw Noob's ending in TE I just fell in love with the idea of a quick, treaky charachter (I love the image here he attacks Goro)
And I like Noob-Smoke as a Sub Boss... If Noob alone could kill goro... imagine his power combined with Smoke's!!!!
I also like the characters they chose for this team... both noob and smoke kind of ran out of gas... but this now places them as a completely free juggernaut... and I love the fact that smoke is "evil" (even though we don't know for sure yet) because it gives the character a more dark, mundane personality... rather than the poor victim fighting for his freedom from the evil clan...

i agree that some kool things can come out of them being combined, but i hope they never do this again. imo, it just takes away from two kharacters that would be great with seperate story lines. i would rather them kombine sektor and cyrax, something that is less detrimental than taking two superstars and making one. however t, your thread is good with nice ideas about the possibilities of the double kharacter!

I really like all the ideas that people are coming up with here. Especially that shadow sack beat the shit out of him fatality. Good job guys.
Oh and people keep mentioning that there is a vid with Noob-Smoke in it and I was wondering if it was online for download somewhere. Can anyone help me out?

TitO_BLaDe Wrote: Nice work Queve, but we already knew u didnt see the video, because everybody who hates or dislikes the idea hasnt seen the video, while all the people that HAVE seen the video ALL changed their minds and like the idea. ONCE again, LOL, i still think they should fuse the 3 females, Jataaka, Kia, and Sareena.

LOL! I think he/she confused this thread with the one that said we should have those 3 females as a Tag team.
