what else would he be doing with his sword? Holding it in his teeth?

Indeed, hope that's the case with Kenshi.
And the world just got a little bit brighter today. :)

Try remove the B. *giggly giggly*

But HEY! Be serious now! ;P

This would be great. I doubt it'll happen, but if it did, it would be great.

Let's see, remove the B, and you get.... o_O
Man, you so nasty. /sarcasm
Very well, I hereby decree, the birth of the Banality!!
Trolls beware. XD.

I'm fairly certain Kenshi will still have *some* form of TK-
at least flinging the sword across the screen, spinning it, etc.
Not so certain they will give him Ermac's TK Slam.

I'm sure his regular moves will still be punches and kicks,
but I'm equally sure he will use the sword a *lot* in kombos and specials

Lol.
I'm envisioning pirate Kenshi, swinging around on ropes from crow's nest to crow's nest, sword gripped between teeth.

Anyways, I think it's fairly obvious he's going to be heavy on the swordplay, but I think Paulo (Garcia) said that he would have somewhat of a mix between the new gameplay and then some little touches of the past.
Kenshi will have some throwbacks nuances and ALOT of brand new stuff.
Excited!

I must admit it's nice we finally learn the name of his sword, that was a nice bonus.

Howz about:

daryui'sconceptlooksclosetoRain'sMK9designality.

Oh yeah, Breakindishesz is Shadow banned, if not perma-banned.

[all of that]

I already granted you that one-
you were indeed *very* close!

It's still banned? I thought this would've gotten resolved by now. Well, good luck on importing it.

I saw! Thanks is in order for you my Raintard!

What concept? :o

And damn, I was hoping he'd gotten the boot, not just shadow banned. It's really annoying that trolls are allowed to walk freely in forums like these.

People aren't shadow banned for spewing out homophobic verbal diarrhea.

I never saw the final kolored concept.
Have you uploaded it?

So she's still here........fuck.

Ah. They[shadow banned/regular bans] are confusing..

In fact, if your design had been any *more* spot-on,
I would begin to develop suspicions about you (NRS employee).

I would never have guessed that, of the entire bunch, Rain would look the most like a "real" ninja- that's pretty cool with me.

@Jaded-Raven This concept



Lol, and that is pretty surprising to me also.

Haven't been able to find it, but I plan on making another since I have it saved on my PC, or draw MK9 Rain from what I can see on his render.

I think that Ninja Mime meant the opposite of a Shadow Ban. lol

Oh right, Shadow Ban is when the avatar or sig are too big.
So that must mean breakingdishesz has gotten the boot.

And there was much rejoice! Yaaaay!

Skarlet's been released, a troll has been vanquished, I got new glasses, things are looking up. Rejoice!!! DAAAAAAAANCE BREAAAAAAAAAAAK!!!!!!!!!

Well, let's see what's new on MKO tonight, and what people are saying about Skarlurrrrrrrrgh hurffff nuugh OH GOD

Great, sticky keyboard now.

Well, this was a nice surprise. FINALLY, Noob and Smoke come correct with some old-school. Can't wait.

Glad for the Rain fans, he looks great. I'm glad they kept something of an Eastern aesthetic and went with a dark shade of purple - makes it easier to take him seriously. Wonder what if any connections to Taven, Daegon, Argus and Delia, etc. will be drawn upon for his bio and ending.

Believe it or not, I too lobby for the roundhouse to return. Have them distintegrate into water and reform on the opposite side of the scren, or form a water portal, or something. It's a silly move, but it's his trademark.

Kenshi looks good, except for that hair. The HELL is up with his hair?

Somehow, my keyboard always manages to stay unsticky. It's weird. XD
