Did you ever see the movie "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi"?
The Emperor allowed the rebels to enter the planet to trick them. maybe it's the same here, Boon released this picture to keep us going meanwhile the alters the release game selection screen.

That would be an epic move on his part.

I'm glad you brought your strawman. I clearly said I'm reserving judgment until I see it in action, but if you don't think that what we're looking at looks stupid, you are in denial, trolling, or have a different opinion of stupid. Whatever the case, no skin off my teeth. To each his own, an expression I don't think you've ever heard.

So because I like smoke with whatever hair they give him i'm stupid and you're not because you want Scorpion-clone to return?

Yeah right.

No, because for the last month and a half you trashed nearly any thread that talked about Smoke, and since you did another 180 turn with another character you despised the most, you're praising the hell out of him and bragging to any person who despises the new look and mocking them.

And I'm not buying this "I'm going to be nice to everyone for a change," at all.

Read this, please.

Milaana: Good Troll, or the Best Troll? Seriously, when did I ever call you stupid or say I wanted a Scorpion clone? Did you even read my post?

I never said I'm gonna be nice to you, no. But some people can change, and changes online are even easier.

But I'm gonna ignore you miss frosty from now on.

@IceBaby: You know Milaana has pretty much established herself as coming to MKO just to start shit because she get's some sort of emotional gratification from all the internet rage. Just don't indulge her.

I don't think Casselman should feel bad because of this leak, if somehow, be linked to his name ..... in the end, we are all fans, and the leaked select screen picture was useful, to ending some doubts :

- We have , in fact , 26 slots with 2 DLCs extra slots
- We have 25 classic characters 100% confirmed, plus Quan Chi
- Cyber Sub-Zero has an incredible cool and well done look, and almost everyone is impressed with and giving thumb ups .... about it. So, once hated by lot, CSZ is now being accepted , more or less .....

Remember : it's Internet, one of the most dangerous environments ever regarding top secret and classified information trying to be secured on it, so, sooner or later (in this case here, sooner, very soon, hehe !), it's only take one, a simple one source, to next, the leaked information be spread all along any MK site that has some considerable amount of members .....

I guess that someone (or a lot of people) in NRS will get dismissed and "fired" for real, once WB top big bosses know about all this leak stuff .... I am not saying about Ed, Hector and high class NRS members , but, technical people who work in others levels, as testers, or graphic designers, and people who, somehow, had access to diverse informations of this game, but, instead of using this oportunity to work serious for NRS and try to build an epic career, chose to act as a tomboy brainless kid and did this leak stuff for real ......

Unfortunately, happens, all the time : Do you know how movies are leaked on Internet , one month, or one weak before the official release in theaters ? Pretty simple : instead of doing a worldwide premiere release, the movie industry choose to release in different date, so, a lot of places in Asia, mainly, pick the movie copy before everyone else, and some asshole can do a digital copy, or just use a personal camera , and while testing the copy that they (theater) receive , in a screen session with nobody, this guy , normally a employee of theater, a guy with technical knowledge, do a pirated copy , and sell for some thousands dollars, next, the fucking movie is on Internet, in hundred of torrent sites, and everyone access that .....

It was exactly what happened to X-Men Origins : Wolverine, and still happens nowadays ......

I'm glad that CSZ is accepted even if some old smart guys are still against him

Could not resist to take a look at the image, Still i hate that is been leaked, and yes i still could try to ignore it. But i was too curious lol.

Cyber Sub Zero looks really cool, i also like the look of Smoke. Quan Chi looks a bit standard.

Mann. i really cant wait to play the game.

And once again someone with good taste

Finally, no more fucking stalking every goddamn post I write and saying my name like every single post.



Believe me, I've noticed. But it's annoying to see how she's now respecting everyone that she basically bitched at and claim that we're giving her cancer due to being a fan of a character she despised so greatly and heavily of. Basically being the site's biggest hypocrites ever. That's the one thing that bothers me greatly about this whole "being nice," thing. I HATE hypocrites, they're on the top of my pet peeve list.

Anyways, before it gets too out of hand, I'm just going to change the direction of what I'm saying and to say this because I can understand why he'd get nervous... Don't be nervous about anything Cassel... The least anyone can do about this is ask you to take it down. They won't like, get mad and ignore you whatsoever.

Now all we need is April 19th, god damn this last month is dragging on so damn hard. :(

Didn't read every post, but the first few pages I read some people were like "WTF 2 CSZ WTF?!?" Look at that bottom arrow, there's a good 100% chance of that rotating, like a block so something close to it.

Y'know, on second thought, I regret posting that link. I can't make you click on it. I'll just post the definition here for your convenience:
Dear Milaana, a straw man is a component of an argument and is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position.[1] To "attack a straw man" is to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by substituting it with a superficially similar yet unequivalent proposition (the "straw man"), and refuting it, without ever having actually refuted the original position.
Should I post a definition of logical fallacy as well, or can you figure that one out on your own?

Back on topic, Smoke actually looks a bit more passable alongside everyone else's ugly mug. Like I said, I'm going to wait and see.

Everybody that thinks this is a april fool's joke, is retarded.
This WILL be the final screen

Cyber Sub looks amazing. I hope they restore his humanity by the end though. It's a nice departure for this game though, especially since we get essentially all versions of Sub Zero.

I think Smoke has a lot of potential. The more I see it, the more I think he has an Akuma hair style going. That's ok in my books. Again, we'll have to wait and see the whole character.

I wouldn't let one act make you worry about your integrity with them. You're right, it was going to happen. You're also human. I think even people who don't know you well can tell from your posts that you're a stand up person, and mean no ill will to anyone. If they are upset, they'll get over it.

Milaana... I have tried to reserve judgement on you but you sure do seem to get yourself into a heated argument in virtually very thread...

Probably not with two CSZ, even if he is as awesome as 2 characters together

Haha, agreed.

At the of the game he becomes a cyborg... If anything, he will be restored for next game or it will be hinted in his arcade ending

Thank you, this makes it more obvious that NRS isn't consistent with their character appearances. The tattoos aren't even the same as in MKDA. This is getting ridiculous...

I don't believe those red marks are tattoo's it's:

1) Magical incantations/ruins whatever.
2) Blood
3) Paint.

I think Quan Chi often has those marks on his body and he changes them like people changes clothes everyday.

How is it ridiculous?

There's so many ways they can write him back to humanity. I like his cyber form for this game, maybe even another. But, I have trouble believing he's gonna stay that way. Mortal Retcon-bat forever!

About this "Smoke Hair" select screen picture, I have a theory :

- ALL these select screen picture are crap .... see Cyber Sub-Zero, for example : his select screen picture is outstanding, cool ? Nope, is a crap one, very generic .... but now, look at his pose in the screen , during the selection ? Isn't he great, awesome, gorgeous and badass intimidating ? Now, imagine him even better, inside the game, in his gameplay action ..... Sindel, Johnny Cage and Kabal, for example : all craps lazy stupid shit select screens done by NRS, but, how about their pose screens and how about their gameplay videos , and even, playing with Johnny in the demo ? So you can expect all this hate about Smoke diminish or gone , after we see him doing combos and special moves.

- If that NRS model picture is indeed , Smoke, so, he has a long hair, and in this picture in select screen, his hair looks simply, floating, by some effect ....

- Or in the worst scenario, he uses a pony tail, more or less like Shang Tsung, and the picture, show him with more hair volume than Shang ....

I find it ridiculous that they can remember Quan Chi has tattoos, but not how they look like. Why change the tattoos to look like something else like that?
