Kenshi is cool but Ermac came first. if it came down to the 2, give me Ermac. and everyones all like "Smoke is just a pallete swap of scorpion" They wouldn't put smoke in the game if he was a ripoff of scorpion..watch and see, Ermac/Kenshi Smoke/Scorpion and Li Mei/Mileena will be totaly different.

I agree, like for example: Yes both Ermac and Kenshi have telekinesis, but there a tons of moves I can think of that can be incorporated using TK, just check out tgrant's TK thread and you can see some great ideas in there... I believe that Ermac will be more experienced and Powerful in the use of his TK which means he'll probably get more advanced moves.

Sounds good to me. He should be more advanced then Kenshi.

The only simularities i hope that are between Scorpion and Smoke is the Spear. As for Ermac, I really hope he still has the Nova Blast, Which Kenshi wouldn't have.

NO NO NO. the only person to have the signature spear is scorpion, they shouldnt have those similaries.

anyway smoke wont have his spear anyway good LOL.

i think they will give noobs smoke projectile that make u invisible in MK trilogy to smoke though.


i am very worried about kabal, he wont have his topspin, i know it. that would suck. KABAL is a major favorite to alot of people cause of that topspin.

I don't see how they could implement the topspin without making it look stupid. Perhaps they might just make them stagger around for a couple of seconds.

As for Smoke, he can always just have some move involving...well, smoke. He could blow it into your eyes and stun you, or create a smokescreen around himself.

Even if these characters share a special or two its likely they'll have wildly different stances by the time the final product is released. From what I've heard Li Mei has ditched her sais, and Ermac and Kenshi really only share one move: the telekinetic slam.

As for Smoke I really hope he gets his trident harpoon, even if they decide to modify its behavior to make it different from Scorpion's spear. He's got to have some classic move(s) to remind us of the old Smoke. I starting to wonder if we'll even reconize him other than in name.
