Yeah, having a character fighting nude the whole way through an arcade ladder, not to mention appearing online ALL THE TIME (face it, it's what most teens are gonna use online if true) is a little beyond "partial" nudity. I am starting to lean towards the teddy bear outfit.

Sorry, not buying into this list. I doubt anything of this magnitude would've been leaked or obtained so easily and quickly right after the achievement list was released.

Suicide, huh? Hopefully no one is THAT fanatic when it comes to Mortal Kombat. XD

This.
That and the fact there is a "Dream Kombat" mode that was seen during the Challenge Tower video, so it doesn't rule out the possibility Cyber Sub-Zero can be fought during a nightmare of some sorts. Cyber Sub-Zero could easily appear in a Dream Sequence Kuai Liang has during his story scenes.

Someone never played Heavy Rain.

That game has full frontal and back nudity for men and women and it was rated M for Mature for "nudity" not partial nudity

I'm more annoyed that this more or less confirms why Smoke won't be a cyborg and why it won't be canon. But I'd still to see him in the game regardless and there's always hope for the DLC suggestion list. and I just know Rain, C.Smoke and Kenshi will be the most popular choices.

And now a message from Cyborg Smoke:



Hello Kombatants, Look at Sub-Zero. Now back to me, now back to Sub-Zero. Now BACK to me. Sadly, He isn't me..but if he stopped being a defiant Lin Kuei member and underwent the cyborg transformation He could be like me. Look Down, Back Up. Where are you? You're on the nethership with the cyborg Sub-zero could be like. What's in your hand? Back at me. I have it. It's a small treasure chest with two tickets to Khan's Coliseum. Look again..THE TICKETS ARE NOW KOINS!! Anything is possible when you're turned into a cyborg. I'm on Motaro.

*whistle*

We've had multiple Sub-Zeroes for ages now. Would another one honestly surprise you? In this game alone, we'll have Noob, Kuai Liang, and whatever this thing turns out to be. Three different versions of one concept in one game alone.

Other characters who have nothing to do with Sub's angle are plenty interesting already. Everyone's got their fans.

If you actually think that making Kuai Liang into a robot is going to resolve stories and free up characters, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. If the Lin Kuei are portrayed as successful in automating Sub, it's either Smoke becomes the big magic hero and stops them in the exact same way Sub did with his help in the original telling - a boring and predictable result - or he doesn't, and they start expanding and spreading. That's probably lead to more people getting involved in the LK drama. The Special Forces get called in, etc.

And for all that Scorpion being Sub-Zero's protector was used, it may as well not even have existed. It was referenced in Scorpion's UMK3 ending, which didn't happen, And Scorpion's purpose in that game was to serve Kahn anyway - his plot occurs completely independent of the LK scenario.

You know what, maybe they'll actually make something out of that if Kuai Liang gets converted. Scorpion steps in to smack down cyborgs to fulfill his vow of protection, anyone?

Oh, and Frost did not die; she was put on ice and she reawoke in MK Unchained.

So, what if C. Sub Zero is just an alternate costume?

Bam. Then what?

From re-reading the thread, I have to say Razor, this is really, really worrying. Don't get me wrong, there are times reading this website when I just flat out don't agree with the tone of some of your posts and you'd drive me mad with it, but even to a perfect stranger...that post above is just worrying to read man. No video game should effect someone that deeply to the point it's effecting their mental and physical health.

If a video game, a fictional storyline, has that much of an effect on you, I'd suggest going to visit your local doctor or something and explaining to him how worked up your getting from an upcoming Video Game. To care about a hobby is one thing, I myself am a devoted artist, but when your getting that hysterical it's effecting your health it's really dangerous ground to be threading on amigo. It's one thing to become fanatical about a hobby or interest you have control over, but this is fictional work that other people are creating and are in charge of. To invest so much commitment and emotion in to an ever changing franchise is only putting your hand out to be slapped.

I was in the same boat when the first screenshot of Jill Valentine's grave emerged on the web for Resident Evil 5. I seriously was gutted, I was devastated when I thought she'd never return to the franchise. Did it upset me? Yeah, initially, but I liked the fact that Capcom wanted the storyline to progress without it's main heroine and if anything it made me appreciate her character more. The game came out, Jill was alive, turns out I was worried over nothing. In this case it's an acchievement list that's not even verified yet man, so back away from the internet connection and just relax until it's actually confirmed.

To any fan who's disturbed by this, the sad reality is that Boon hinted at this MONTHS ago. It shouldn't really come as a shock to you if it is true, and to expect the exact same storyline with no changes at all would also be very naive on your behalf considering it's public knowledge that Raiden is altering the events of this timeline by going back in time. We're not going to get the same game we played in the Arcade's all of those years ago, it's a brand new game going down a somewhat familiar road, and change is to be expected if we want MK to survive. We don't know what to expect for now, so it's best to just chill the fuck out and calm down.

Blackcyborg is right, your all getting way too worked up about this. It's fictional for gods sake, there's no need to be getting so damn hysterical. I've been playing this game since I was 3, I'm a lifelong fan, but even with all the years I've been playing MK it scares me sometimes reading the reactions of the fans on this website. There are bigger, more important things in the world to focus on than Reptile's Tail, Scorpion's Toasty Fatality, whether or not Bi Han is now a Robot, or Mileena's eye colour, and while your perfectly entitled to complain about all of that here, it should not push you to the point your getting so hysterical. It's a video game, it's supposed to be something fun, not the catalyst to your own insanity.

Well...yeah...that is what I was getting at in my post. If it was going to have full nudity as an alternate, it would be labeled "nudity", not "partial nudity".
