I don't know who said it but I like the idea of Noob having a full black, skin tight body suit under his outfit. That would explain why he was all black back in the day. And the idea of him having an alternate outfit where he wasn't all black would kick ass. I don't think it would be that upsetting or hard to grasp for the long term fans. I've been with MK since the beginning and I would love to see it. But thats just my opinion.

I agree with you. Now that I see the comparison. I think that it is Scorp and let me just say that is an awsome look for him.

wait a sec.. now that i'v seen it again.. i can't help think... wasn't this out like 2 months ago?? thats the egxact same pic i remember seeing.. it didn't hit me at first.. but i think that was realsed before.. in some post..... hmm.... althought the mag did had it.. but.... hmm.... wait that link was to image shack.,. i want to see the orginal site...

the outfit looks kinda gray to me, so im gonna pray that its smoke and maybe he can have a cooler outfit then that, but his, kitanas, and rains comeback to MK is all I care abbout

good pic.If I was to say it would be scorpion.
or a new ninja all together.Time will tell.

This black ninja could indeed be one of the new characters, although i very much dought it.

Well I am going with that being Noob Saibot. If it is Noob Saibot, and you can see the skin, is that whole Johnny Cage, Noob Saibot thing true?

theres a close up on the black ninjas face
and if you look at his eyes they have pupils

I think it looks a lot more like Smoke though it could be Noob Saibot's alternate costume, as strange as that may sound.

I Think It's Smoke (If The Magazine Is Correct)

Cos If U Take A Look At The Main Page (The One With The Big Pic Of Sub-Zero ,Skab & Millena) There Is A Pic Bellow That Of The Same Black Ninja Kicking Baraka And The Text Above That Says...."Smoke Versetzt Baraka"

Now I Don't Understand German But It's Clear Enough To understand That It Has Got To Do With Smoke So.....

(You can see the jaw line) Secondly, his entire body is covered in black. The face: the teeth are obviously sharp and resemble Baraka's teeth, as well as his skin tone, blah blah.... Now, we have seen TWO of Baraka's costumes already and there are mainly red and metal. In this picture, Baraka is wearing all black. Could there possibly be 3 costumes for each character? There's a question to think about. Now I have looked over all the pics carefully over and over agian. And I'm sorry but the guy in this puzzle pic shit looks to definetely be Baraka to me. Maybe I'm wrong, I'm not saying I'm right... but who the hell else could it be? Noob doesn't have big ass teeth like that, his eyes are GREENISH BLUE, and his skin is black. The guy in the pic doesn't fit any of those characteristics It may be another character... but I don't see that happening. Also, this is probably an early shot. Therefore, costumes CHANGE. This could very well be an old costume that may not even make it to the game. Bottom line is.... We have to wait and see. And as far as the "black" ninja... I believe 100% that is Smoke. I already posted about it in the other thread. But if you look at it, his vest and arm/leg pieces are definetely gray. Take a closer look and adjust the color on your monitor. Have a fabulous day.

Actually.... the character in the mini-game picture fighting Baraka is clearly Skab. If you go to the mksecrets.org webstie, you'll find a picture showing three characters. The middle one is Skab and he looks just like the miniature character fighting Baraka in the minigame. He's wearing a different costume but Skab has the face that's partially showing his skull underneath the skin. It's clearly not Baraka... it's Skab. I think he looks sweet.

Correction... it's www.mksecrets.net not mksecrets.org. I apologize.

His mask and leg armor looks smoke gray to me.......

I have a feeling that it is smoke also. The close up of the face shows the ninja to be human looking, not Scorp or Noob.

Well said, it's definitley a skull, it's too bloody to be Scorpions skull, coz scorpions skull has the typical grey/white color of an old one. I would say it's Skab as well. Definitley not Baraka.
