Ah, interesting. I like the way he crosses his arms over his chest. Reminds me of his original fist-to-heart salute winpose from MK3, but with both hands.

Sektor has a couple of things I've seen, there was one mid match one that I saw where he just put his hands up and shot flames out, then I saw another one where he used flames from his hands to get him airborne and float him back into the starting position again, kinda cool.

As far as the Shadow move for Johnny Cage, I didn't explain what I meant earlier correctly, Johnny shouldn't be glowing green because that is what Nightwolf does, they should either make it all red for Cage again or some other color, and the shadow kick and punch I know meant that they showed a "shadow image" meaning repeating images of him behind him when he moved like he left a trail of himself but to me just seeing him glow green makes him look too much like nightwolf so it seems like they have the same power, they need to change it.

Johnny had green first, Nightwolf's shoulder slam is the one that should change.

I never liked that move for Nightwolf from the start, it should stay with Shao Kahn

It occurs to me that the move would fit Nightwolf much better if, instead of using Johnny's shadow effect, it literally fit the name "Rhino's Charge", like if he used his magic to make a big glowing rhino shape appear in front of him and plow into the opponent as he dashes forward, sort of like a Green Lantern ring construct.
I mean, making things out of green energy like a GL is already what Nightwolf does for his other attacks, knives, hatchets, bow and arrows...

That would be fucking amazing.

Seriously,I bloody wish NRS would emphasize Nightwolf's spiritual nature by giving him animal spirit guides. I mean,he was mentioned as having them in his MKA bio,for whatever that's worth. I'm not asking for him to summon pokeymans,but at least have like a wolf apparition next to him during his intro stance or something. There is so much untapped visual imagery there.

Well,in MK3 he didn't just have generic green energy,he has constructs made out of green,otherworldly flame. I really,really wish they'd go back to that.

Well to be fair, the "flame" effect was caused by the fact that he used to carry an actual solid metal hatchet, which would light on green fire when he used it. Now he actually makes the hatchet out of energy though.

But yeah, I'm totally thinking that if the way Nightwolf's shaman magic is supposed to work is that he taps into the "spirit world" to commune with ghosts and make shapes out of like ectoplasmic energy, why not throw in some animal spirit guides and have him like summon the spirit of a rhino around his body as he slams into people?

I especially want to see SOME sort of return of his turning into a wolf. Animalities were stupid, but if ANYONE deserves to have that as one of their ACTUAL powers, it's fucking Nightwolf.

I just thought about it for a second,and...

Shouldn't it really renamed to "Bison Charge"? American Indians wouldn't even know what the fuck a rhino is.

Well sure...if Mortal Kombat was set in the 1700's. Nightwolf is a modern day American. He's just a professional historian who lives on a reservation and is really into the history and culture of his tribe and studied shamanism. So he'd know what a Rhino is and what a Tyrannosaurus Rex is and what the internet is.
But just in terms of thematic flavor, sure, changing it to a buffalo/bison wouldn't hurt. They're a cooler lookin' animal to headbutt into someone anyway, lol.

Really cool.

Too bad it cuts before we can see all of it. I like what I'm seeing. It's simple, but, so full of his personality, lol.

Maybe he says/does something else in the end?
