Correct but we can't control her as a playable character, we only control Torr. So that cuts her out.

Plus there will be more females than just Cassie and D'Vorah to actually control.

I guess that rules him out as the returning boss, then.

Last time Quan Chi was a boss he was also a playable character. Injustice had separate playable and boss versions of Superman. Nothing's out of the question just yet!

But October does have just about 4 full weeks after this week ends. Maybe we could get something near the end of the month, like a Halloween treat. I think that would be a great time to reveal the new -ality. Just a small nibble to carry us over to November's reveal.


There's still the Brazil Game Show. But since they revealed QC today, I'm not sure they'll reveal a new character there. Maybe new info but don't know about another character.

I were hoping they'd do more with his appearance. Meh. He plays great though and he's one of the characters I'd hoping would make the cut.

I just haven't been very impressed with many of the returning characters designs at all. Kano aside.


:( Man, these are the best versions of these characters yet, IMO. That seems to be the common reaction each time someone is revealed. So it sucks to see some aren't digging them.

Patience people, patience. We will be getting new characters, more than any other MK apparently, so just keep that in mind.

I think they might be revealing all of/most of the returnees first, then they will start showing off more of the newcomers.



I'm gonna guess they'll likely mix it up. If they reveal all the returnees first, it kills the anticipation and hopes to see a fan favorite. You also run the risk of people not giving the new characters the time of day. So I'm thinking they'll reveal both new and returning leading up to the game. Returning characters are still a big deal, as well as some new, but both are important. If it's too much new, veteran fans will feel alienated or disappointed to a degree, if there's nothing new, it won't feel as fresh and forward moving. I'm digging the new characters thus far, but I'd be a little disappointed if we don't get our fair share of classics, and I know I'm not the only one still hoping to see around 5-6 more characters from the MK 1-3 era. We've got 3 thus far(4 if you count Goro). Then add on 5-6 MK4-MK-D characters. Then the rest can be new(8-10).


Definitely, I want more of MK1-3 characters as well, I was just talking about those who mainly want new characters.

I think they will mix it up but it seems like its been mostly returnees since E3 (Which I am totally fine with) the MK1-3 characters are my favorites anyway, and probably always will be. I still want Ermac, Reptile, Noob, Baraka, Mileena, Smoke , and Kabal lol

You control both characters not just Torr. Yeah he moves but she's still apart of his move set so therefore she IS a playable character...

Quan Chi looks awesome. I'm glad he's not shirtless. I was never a fan of his shirtless costumes. Hopefully he is as badass and fun to play with as he was in MK9.

Gameplay-wise Quan Chi looks great, but IMO he's way over-designed. His costume has too many distracting elements. The tattoos worked well with his bare-chested design in previous games, not with this costume. And they're glowing... not sure I'm digging this. Not to mention there are other glowing (and distracting) elements on his back or shoulders.
Hopefully, his alternate costumes are less intrusive.

I'm more thrilled about the "army of revenants from the fallen Earthrealm warriors".

Not the reveal I wanted.. But I still love Quan Chi!
He finally got a new design! And his Warlock variation looks sick!
His X-ray is MUCH better than his MK9 one!
Can't wait to see Shinnok!

Wow, just wow, some notes about this reveal:

- Really cool to see a revamp of his classic design, it was getting a bit annoying to always see the shirtless costume and this one looks great.

- The intro is badass. If he could use that on a fatality...

- As previously noted, the amulet is missing!!

- Quan Chi has multiple options to do double-enhanced (or triple-enhanced) moves: Sorcerer version boosting himself (which I assume that you could make an enhanced boost) and then enhancing a move or combo, and his Sumonner version that could enhanced the summon and then enhance the move where he uses it.

- I don't see how any of his moves eliminate Shang Tsung or Noob from the equation.

- His fatality looks nasty. I didn't like that he used a sword on his MK9 fatality because it was a reasigned fatality that previously belonged to Scorpion. Now that he uses a sword creatively during gameplay I don't mind it at all and it's really gross how the puppeted opponent walks through it.

- I think I'm going to play him as Warlock, but all of his styles look interesting.

- Boot #1 out of six is out. I think we will be getting them in the same order of that image.

- I really liked this quote: "Using his necromancy powers Quan Chi has built an army of revenants from the fallen earthrealm warriors, twisting their minds to fight in his behalf". We will probably see many (if not all) of the dead warriors back working for him and probably later in the story will return to their minds.

There was a quote from Sub-Zero against Raiden, "fear their powers Raiden", that got me thinking it was a cleansed Bi-Han sent by the Elder Gods, but now I'm back into thinking this is a revenant Kuai Liang and he's talking about Quan Chi and Shinnok. Probably he will return to his mind later and find about his cryomancer origins and claim the Lin Kuei (based on his playstyle names), and hopefully he breaks Quan Chi's control with Sareena's help :D :D

Wow loved the video. Quan Chi looks amazing! He was one of my mains in MK9 so I'm happy.
Btw ALL of Boons tweets pointed elsewhere. Anywhere but Quan Chi. Well except for the green orb thingy maybe but orbs were never really his thing. I'd say it's about time we stop taking every little tweet seriously.

I am pretty sure that was his face in the shadow..

And considering he was boot #1, it is more than likely the other hints are attached to the 5 remaining boots.

This... All these returning male character reveals... all returning from MK9... All have been used throughout a bunch of games. I'd like to see someone less used to mix things up a bit.


There's currently 9 revealed characters. 5 are returning, 4 are new. 2 of the new are females. There's a decent variety of returning and new, male and female, going on. What exactly are you expecting here?


9 characters...yes. Yet there are only two females that we can control thus far. We need more females!!!


Regardless of the fact that Ferra isn't controllable, she is still "playable", heavily involved with Ferra/Toors's fighting style, heavily involved with Ferra/Toor's fatality and she is the BRAINS and VOICE of Ferra/Toor. You can't even spell Ferra/Toor without spelling her name.

There are 3 females in in the game thus far; there's no reason whatsoever to discount her. That's a third of the roster - pretty good female representation so far.

And yes, we do need more female reveals!

Some people pointed on Baraka's direction because he previously had skull kneecaps, but I had serious doubts about that as Baraka's skulls used to have long tarkatan teeth.

I think we will get hose boots in that order. For the next one I think we could get one of the following:

- Seido Johnny Cage with some kind of trench-coat and looking similar to his MK9 ending.

- Ermac (alternate MK9 or the fan-art by... one of their concept artists).

- Shinok

- Noob Saibot

Oh well, I guess next characters are Reptile, Baraka...zzzz

I was really bitter about how Quan Chi had just butted in and taken over alot of the plot points of MK9. I didn't feel he belonged there, but should rather stay in the background and pull the strings. So I had a major dislike for Quan Chi for a long time, and before MK9, I actually liked him.

Boons original boot tweet said "these boots are made 4 walking".

One of the speculations was that the 4 stood for mk4. meaning the 6 boots represent the 6 returning mk4 character's.

That speculation is still on the table.
I love everything about this game so far, but based on the video I think they should nerf the range on his mind control move..

Oh and I love what NRS are doing with the background and styles of the X-rays. Still powerful and unique but not deadly enough to look like a fatality.
