Nice another girl. I was just thinking that today, Though I imagine a female monster since all the women were human and all the monsters men.

 

[GuardianE]

Maya?

EDIT: Oh, brand new.

 

[RobotRocker]

An Aerial Rave focused character in KI? Oh this one's going to be very interesting.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Heh, looks aerial as someone predicted the other day.

Guessing there will be a bit of backlash about this one.

 

[derFeef]

Seems to be a very fast aerial cahracter? I like her design.

edit: uplading large gif....

 

[LeMaximilian]

Launcher into combo.
Fucking, LAUNCHER INTO COMBO!?!?!?

My body is not ready. This is getting nuts.

 

[Delt31]

could this be Orchid gone crazy? Or just a mileena stunt double? you got to be kidding me releasing a new character when the two main ones (orchid and fulgore) are not in. wtf

 

[Black Door]

New character reveal at end of trailer: http://www.eventhubs.com/news/2013/...bo-trailer-quick-glimpse-brand-new-character/

Costume is two strings and a wish...there is hope for Orchid yet

 

[op_ivy]

who the fuck?

Kim Wu gone crazy more likely?
The air combo looks insane.

 

[Skab]

Seeing as the announcer says Welcome, it's a pretty safe bet that it's an entirely new character.

Also the fact that it looks/plays nothing like any existing characters.

 

[Poker Face]

wot....

 

[pixlexic]

Could be kim wu's new design

 

[Ramocalypse]

Whoa, didn't see that coming. She looks awesome though, very unique style, love it!

Yeah it's probably a new fighter.

 

[Delt31]

really? you don't feel like this character design has been seen 1-- times in MK?

 

[derFeef]

 

[Ramocalypse]

Should have been more specific lol. Unique fighting style to the KI universe.

 

[op_ivy]

looks like mielena. looks to play good though.

 

[abadguy]

They were right, i didn't see that coming. Looks to have a pretty interesting play style.

 

[mdsfx]

MK popped into my head immediately

 

[Delt31]

Thanks for this -

 

[VlaudTheImpaler]

Well that came out of no where.

 

[Synth]

...

Not happy with this... really does look like a MK character

 

[Slamtastic]

Good to see DH adding something new to the franchise.

 

[The Xtortionist]

I saw the pics before reading the text and I also thought it was a screenshot from MK9.

hmm

 

[Syphon Filter]

Could be kim wu's new design

no it says brand new character.

 

[.la1n]

Not that she looks bad (she looks pretty great) but couldn't this style have been worked into one of the original roster? Disappointed tbh.

 

[abadguy]

...

Yeah she definitely does. Luckily she doesn't seem to play like one.( from the little they showed anyway) Are those supposed to be strings or webs? I think it would be cool if they were webs and she had some sort of Spider theme to her.

Wow really guys, because she is covering her mouth? The color does not help I guess.

Well her overall look feels a bit MK from the little they showed of her. I actually like it though...

 

[derFeef]

agreed - i think the style is cool but why not make that Orchid or someone original. With only 6 characters at launch, i just don't understand this decision.

 

[SAB CA]

Those soulless eyes, color scheme, dead looking skin, and lack of a mouth / lower face sure do scream MORTAL KOMBATTTT, but beyond that, she looks fresh.

The Spideweb Grapple thing in the air is kinda like an Air Throw. Air Projectile. Air combos that look to be made for screen carry. A Launcher?!?

It should be fun to see what kind of alternative colors they come up with for her. Will they make her look more alive, or like 7 shades of Zombie?!?

Spoiler

And I swear, she stole Fulgore's Claw.

And this.. possibly deserves a new thread? Ahh, Ok, Max made it.

 

[.la1n]

Her look seems to scream Persian to me for some reason, could be way off.

 

[Troll]

I'm not too familiar with MK, anyone want to post a screenshot of the character she's supposed to look like?

 

[C-Sword]

She looks like a dude just like those female characters designed by NRS. You guys think Orchid will wind up with a man face as well?

 

[themkr]

IMO its a really bad move by DH.

Only 6 at launch = no slot for new wierd and pathetic character.

We want B.Orchid and Fulgore!

 

[derFeef]

Nope, thought so as well, really like her design. Need to see more of course.

The hood and the sandals not to mention her color scheme. She's definitely not a ninja, but i assume an assassin character.

"Man face?" She's wearing a mask.

she doesnt look to play like her, but yeah - very familiar

yea the originals[all of them] should be in. they just want to sell it to you.

This came to mind when i saw her:

Edit: beat to it

 

[Synth]

Wow really guys, because she is covering her mouth? The color does not help I guess.

It's not even just the appearance. I can practically see MK in that aerial combo. It's like watching a hybrid Kitana/Kung Lao combo. All it's missing is a roll to catch the opponent on the way down.

 

[.la1n]

Honestly more female representation is in no way a bad thing, I'm digging the threads she's using too. I hate we aren't getting an all OG roster up front but this could have turned out much worse.

 

[derFeef]

I like that you guys post alternate costumes

I agree with the second part, but somehow a new fighter is exciting to me as well.
Need my Spinal though

 

[GrayFoxPL]

They took down the video. Someone is getting fired?

 

[Toxi]

I think she's a zombie, since her eyes are white and she's twitching and her skin is pale and stuff.

...It doesn't look much like Mortal Kombat to me, at least not much like Mortal Kombat 9.

 

[op_ivy]

it doesnt much matter. that looks like mileena pure and simple. certainly MK (design wise).

 

[mdsfx]

Ooooh interesting...

 

[C-Sword]

Wait... Is that her?

I played very little MK9 admittedly. I was thinking more MK2 personally.
