I have high hopes that the other costume for Smoke is hooded if it is to be in his human ninja form. This isn't all that bad - but it could be better too - it seems as if the hair is almost directly taken from Nightwolf and colored white. You can't assume that it will be Smoke's primary costume because this was not an official revelation (though they probably leaked it intentionally), it could be, but after noting how NoobSaibot5 pointed out, that Smoke wouldn't likely expose his hair during his covert missions under the LK, I think that this is his Story Mode look after he escaped the automation, at the very least.

1) the loincloth flap 2) the badge[?] in the chest 3) gray mask 4) gray V-garment but broken 5) long white hair as with the latest unhooded Sub-Zero look 6) in Japanese folklore spirits often have long white hair[?]

Don't know about everything Lupinko said, but I've seen this name pop up with a lot of reveals. If he said Raiden has a black alt. I'm with that too. Definately looks like the same hair Raiden had before. And this guy seems to be right ALL the time. Can someone link me to the post of all his predictions for this game again?

He didn't say that about Raiden, unless i missed it?

Think it's just an early test model, Not sure. Definitely not Smoke though.

Feb 8, "ariden alt is black, has different lightning effects around his body"

Personally, my theory has been and continues to be that Raiden's alt is his "Dark" costume from MKD and the "different lightning effects" will be red, because after all, the game starts at the end of Armageddon, so he'll need to be wearing something like what he was in that game during that cutscene.

i like it

Ugh, why does Smoke look like he's in a shitty hair metal band...? You'd think they'd learn they're lesson about the crazy Smoke experiments. I had hoped they'd go with something a little more "safe" this time around. MK:SM Smoke was PERFECT.

"In Japanese folklore, spirits have white hair." First of all, smoke is from prague, he is a white dude. He is not a spirit. he is possessed by a demon. And seriously, we are living in a westernized world. The first thing that came right out of my mind when i saw smoke was a metal punk ass.

Can someone tell me what this is?

It was posted on MKWiki not long ago and was already taken down.



Personally I hope it's fanmade. It seems way too bulky to be Smoke imo.

It's fan made. It pops up every couple of months. Too bad, because it's badass. If you do some digging, you can see the progression of it being made and a few different angles. Pretty awesome work if you ask me.

Fan made with a program called Zbrush. I love the art work and time put into this render.

a white man from prague getting posessed by a japanese demon? highly unlikely. Be realistic MK. If that is smoke I will be extremely disappointed. Smoke becomes a freaking metal rock fanboy. FAIL

Be realistic. The game with people fighting after having there back broken and neck snapped. Why would spirits be confined to there country of origin anyway?

Plus he was kidnapped by some obscure cult, maybe one in ASIA, perhaps? (Not aimed at you, RF)

Hopefully Smoke is revealed really soon. Someone from TRMK said this was his primary. If so, I personally don't mind. I like how it's way different than the rest of the ninjas considering he's more "unmasked" than the rest of the ninjas are (well to be more precise, "unhooded").

I'm okay with the white, long hair because to me, I just like the whole mystical, mysterious kind of vibe I'm getting from it. And I think if we see Smoke clearly, we can actually see if the whole look works or not. I mean, what we're seeing isn't the best screenshot nor is it Smoke's complete attire. Again, here's hoping we see Smoke with this outfit soon without the body damage. Heck, I wouldn't mind seeing Smoke in a gameplay video a la Noob Saibot.

Someone at TRMK said that the image is not smoke. Or not smoke's default perhaps. He said that Smoke has black spiky hair.

I hope that's true.

But I moreso hope the dude wears a hood in his primary like a proper Lin Kuei.

Stupid Question...

I don't feel like sifting through 12 pages to see if it's been answered...

Has anyone tried asking Boon on twitter? (Or just the generic MK twitter).

I doubt they'd give us a straight answer either way, but maybe we could get some kind of "wink and a nod" almost-confirmation out of them.

My interpretation of Smoke would look something like this I wanted to make it look like a combo of Human and Robot Smoke, but I kinda got lazy with it.

Thats a nice pic. I heard "Rumors that the Roster has been leaked on some other forum. Anyone know any details about this?

Seems like a nice start. I'd stray away from the gray flesh though, or he'll look too similar to Noob Saibot.

white haired smoke is definitely in mk9 whether that's good or bad is based on you but its true trust me

Lies, stupid lies.

He will have long white hair, it suits his story, you and that guy over at TRMK are wrong, they haven't read the spoilers yet, they match 100%.

umm...guys...i hate to b the bearer of bad news(for those that dont like it) this was posted in another thread and removed COMPLETELY from the original post. tis a dark day for me...


edit: guess the guy at TRMK that was saying he looked like he had an afro in his select pic was right.... edit: and the original saved frm the cached... mgs4 ninja raiden anyone????at least its not the mk deception version(thank god)!
