Also, from what I've read the split between Ed Boon and John Tobias wasn't on the best of terms. So maybe Boon doesn't want Tobias' name on this product in writing, even if it is backwards, since he had absolutely nothing to do with making it.

Except that Boon and Tobias are still good friends and talk to one another on a constant basis.

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.
Seconded. Noob is a retarded name for a seriously cool character. Even if it were Noobde it would be slightly better. But the fact that the word "noob" has an actual meaning and a negative connotation makes it hard to take him seriously.

And anyone who wants to say I'm nitpicking and GTF over it, like I said above, would you be okay with this "dev nod" if Ed's last name were Gaff?

"Ffag wins, faggotality"

No.

Okay the whole name thing just got really RETARDED

The shadow clone is a extention of himself... so why is the shadow called Saibot???

Dammit.... furious I wanted to see his whole freaking name in the life bar this time.. was that too much ask for?

And i was just getting over the whole wardrobe bashing and learning to accept it and now this?

This is a very lame idea of spliting his name, so that the clone can have one.
He's not Ermac! He doesnt have a dual personality... So why name the clone?
This is just as bad as his ending to Mortal Kombat Armageddon

I always believe that Noob Saibot was an extention of Sub-Zero/Bi Han's persona.. not an alture ego... not only is he a alture ego... he TWO alture egos? Did i miss something?

Im starting to think the shadow clone being brought back was a very bad idea... gameplay wise, it awsome! But story wise... it sucks balls for quarters.

Thank you Ed for that delightful update... the only positive thing about that video was seeing the new mode and gameplay in more detail..

Thanks again for letting this fan down because you decide to take Noob Saibot to ANOTHER level... its okay to go to another level. But seriously... this is over kill. So once again... thanks wink


*facepalm*

Ed Boon PERSONALLY calls the shadow Saibot. It never had a name.
They can't call him Noob Saibot anymore because John Tobias doesn't work on the games no more (creating a comic for MKvsDC doesn't count).
Giving him the Saibot name, John Tobias can easily turn around and sue the company.

Its really no big deal. JOHNNY CAGE is sometimes presented as "CAGE" on his lifebar, but it still says "Johnny Cage wins". If u wanna complain thats fine, but its really of waste of time. It is what it is at this point.

I don't think Tobias could, or would sue. His name isn't Saibot.

They probably just didn't think it would matter.... because it shouldn't.

It'd be a little too late for him to sue anyway. If he wanted to sue he could have a long time ago. Plus, I don't think he could really prove that Saibot was intended as a reference to him.
