I wonder if this was done so his alternate is the shadow. The shadow health bar might be Saibot. The announcer probably only recorded one voice per character because he's referring to both entities. Just a theory.
Personally, Noob looks fucking awesome! I don't really care what the health bar says.

You call us childish, and you make a post like that?

Be quiet. It used to say 'Noob Saibot' in the early days, it's still his name, so there's no reason it shouldn't do so again.

I agree. Just "noob" sounds stupid. But at least ed's last name isn't "Gaff"

I see Noob's shadow clone as an extension of his own body, totally at his command, kind of a mindless entity what he summons and controls, and not as a "creature or being" with own personality, that could go against Noob's orders.

Make no sense calling Noob only by his first name. He is Noob Saibot since his first conception.

LOL I know that.

But some people think SAIBOT is a character on his own. So he needs a bio as well please.

Well, no, but to some it is insignificant, like to others it doesn't matter if the health bar says Noob or Noob Saibot.

Tobias does not own the word "Saibot". And the full "Noob Saibot" name been said in story modes, endings, concept art, etc. in every single game since JT left. It just wasn't in the healthbar in Deception because Smoke was and it wasn't in Armageddon because they lazily cut and pasted from Deception.

THIS game, there's no fucking excuse. The announcer says "Noob Saibot wins", you can hear it in the reveal video. The healthbar needs to match the announcer and have the character's full name like it does for everybody else.



I dont mean to be a dick but I hate when people make assumptions like this for any game. You are NOT a NRS game developer and you have ZERO idea why they chose to call him "noob" in the name bar instead of Noob Saibot so stop acting like you know the exact reason why. Maybe there IS an excuse. Also its such a small insignificant thing to complain about. The only thing in the name bar ill be paying attention to is my health, not the name. Hell they could put "Major Jackson Briggs" or "The God Of Thunder Raiden" in the health bar and I wouldnt care

This. I 100% agree with this.

We're now nitpicking at health bars. With the show of hands, exactly how many of us actually pays attention to the health bars while fighting?

So his clones are named Siabot... What's the problem?

If he's just called Noob and his clones are named Saibot, it would make sense for them to put the name "Noob" in the bar if his clones are given the name "Saibot." Does that make sense? To me it actually does, to you, pfft probably not. And just because the announcer says "Noob Saibot" and his name isn't all in the health bar, it's not like any one of us is going to forget his entire name just because its not all in the health bar.

I could say the same thing for Jax, he's got a last name, Stryker has a first name, Sonya has a last name but they're never announced. Damnit I want their entire names announced! tongue

This is why developing characters like this apparently causes issues because there's always that one tiny little thing that has to make a big commotion about. The littlest thing. At least it's not about the vomit shit, because that argument was just pathetic.
"Time will lead to Saibot..."


I like the idea that the shadow is posessing Bi-Han, or some kind of parasite. The dark taint Raiden referred to in Mythologies perhaps, as well as the mental fight in his MKA ending.

As for the lifebar, seeing full names would be nice. We don't have the space/data limitations we had 20 years ago. Shang, Kahn, Cage may work :/

I've always hated this fucking "dev nod" name and the way it's slapped on to a pretty interesting character otherwise. I Have a hard time taking Noob seriously as a result.

Anyhow...on topic...I think Razor was pointing out the fact that the announcer said the full name despite the health bar only displaying Noob. It really should be one or the other.

I seriously have to LOL people believing in Saibot being some evil dark side with his own personality.

One question at you.

Does the announcer say Noob Saibot wins or Noob & Saibot win?

Does Saibot has his own bio? His own personality or is he just a shadow clone?

Seriously... What's next... OMG it is only Sonya in the bar and not Sonya Blade. Blade will appear soon.
