Well looking at the widget, you can see that the next character after Mileena is Liu Kang. So we can be expecting February to be Liu Kang month.

Hmm, looks like the uncensored isn't up yet. Reason why i am saying this is because its like the sub-zero uncensored before, it just dosn't connect. So expect a day to see the uncensored.

And if anyone can't see it heres a link to the video, but its not in good quality. Props to the guy who uploaded it.

All that I need to see now (besides human smoke, of course) is the complete character select screen.

You know, it might be fun to see the select screen first. Then from Smoke's screen icon, we can speculate on the rest of his model.

For a short while of course. I'd want to see his model sometime shortly after. Otherwise, that might evolve into mind-twisting torture.


Hmm, that would be fun.

I'm just hoping NRS doesn't end up making Smoke look like Sub-Zero, simply because they were both in the Lin Kuei. Hopefully, Smoke will be maskless.

Oddly, I've always imagined Smoke as a Latino dude. Kind of like this guy, only with hair:

Actually it was Mileena month because she was 1st in the combat chat on the official website. So I assume the next character who gets content revealed is who ends up being first in the combat chat this time.

This. I feel like that whole character discussion thing was something to occupy the fans. Due to the fact that Raiden and Shao Kahn have been there since that site opened and not a single wallpaper or video of them has been released.

Goro's Lair looks awesome I hope the Stage Fatality isn't just the spikes

I hope that after being knocked up into the spikes you slide off and the Oni tear your remains apart fighting over the scrapes.

What do you think?

They've also been ranked 5th and 6th since the beginning. Coincidence?

Awesome fight. Kitana's hair looks much better than before, still a little iffy but whatever. I'm hoping we see a stage fatality that isn't spikes for Goro's lair, absolutley gorgeous and gritty stage, hopefully something involving the Onis devouring the vanquished perhaps. Mileena's get up animation is interesting, still in love with Mileena's fatality, amazing.

Liu Kang was just ranked 5th and he gets a wallpaper release just like that. When Shao Kahn was ranked 5th before he even got released and still didn't get anything. I don't find that a coincidence, I find that as their plan on how they were gonna release renders and characters.

That's an Oni. You know, the same ones that are in every version of Goro's Lair. smile If you search on Youtube for MK:SM Goro's Lair, you can get a better look at them.

Never been a fan of Goro's Lair until now, it looks really good and having Goro in the back watchin is awesome.

Mileena and Kitana are lookin great in the vid to.

But at 40 seconds it looks like Kitana is talking or saying something to Mileena and Mileena responds with a growl.

cool vid. but kitana's hair looks stiff. hair physics are not that hard to work on, tomb raiider's ponytail is free-flowing and flocks of hair even fall out from back in the 90s. so why isn't mk working on good hair physics?

I could be wrong, but it looks like characters are now getting their own custom recovery animations at the end of each round. It's around 40 seconds into the video. As far as I've seen, this is a new animation for her that leads directly into her fighting stance.

@JADEdSCORPION:
It definitely could be a scene of dialog. However, after checking the video I'm not noticing any jaw movement on either characters. Either way it's a nice little detail.



I wouldn't call this talk about X-rays to be a rumor, just a hypothesis based on observations. The purple "shock waves" at her feet make me think that this is a new X-ray in the works. Obviously no bone-shattering moves are seen. However, all X-rays that we have seen so far use similar sound effects and animations with varying colors that are specific to the character. Enhanced specials use fainter effects, as seen with Sonya's double energy ring in the Mileena gameplay video. So it could be a new X-ray (work in progress), or just a completely new move that uses the same initial special effects.


Definitely take a long again man. Her mask is definitely moving up and down. Kitana's I mean. Mileena's, admittedly, is just a growl but Kitana is definitely talking.

So where would those bits of dialogue fit into the fight?

Also, I'm starting to get the feeling that they're changing up what happens between Kitana and Mileena. At the very least, Kitana will no longer kill Mileena. At most, Mileena might actually off Kitana... They're just putting so much emphasis on her defeating Kitana, not to mention turning Mileena into a poster-girl.

Kitana's hair looks awesome. Im so glad her hair is finally down again, the bumpit looks perfect for her. I really dont think she needs another bun or ponytail, shes had enough of those. This hair works great for Kitana, Im glad to see the animation is consistently getting better every time theres new videos, so hopefully when its released her hair will be good.


Anyone who knows how to do the screen captures or still things from the videos. Please get the still of right at 40 seconds, its a badass pic of Kitana.


I feel like we have seen enough Mileena emphasized videos, and we have seen both of her fatalities and her xray, It would be cool to see a Kitana video showing her fatality, since her fatality has not been shown in an "official" video, and/or her xray in full.

This is a stretch, but it might be Mileena retreating. Mileena is moving backwards in the video and Kitana is bruised and bloodied. She looks like she means business, but Mileena is hissing like she's been seriously hurt. She might get to a certain amount of damage and then retreat. Perhaps?

Okay, in-fight cutscenes is a glorious idea, and if that's really what happened there, then I fucking love it. If they end up combining special intros and in-game cutscenes for specific match-ups, then holy shit, the fights are gonna be THAT much more epic. I really hope that's what we just witnessed.

On the other hand, we have to note that Mileena and Kitana had the same ol' intro in that video. Nothing special just because it was the two of them =/

Sorry, I don't mean to give the impression that I'm making a big deal out of whether Kitana's actually speaking. I want to make sure we're making the same observations:



You can click on this picture to view a larger resolution gif. I'm not noticing any independent jaw movement on Kitana that would indicate that she's speaking. From what I'm seeing, movement of her mask is due to her head following Mileena's position.



Click to see more details. Here, we know that she's saying, "You will learn respect." You can see her mouth causing her mask to stretch and warp. We should at least see similar warping in her mask in the previous scene if she's speaking to Mileena.

Anyway, Mileena backing up and hissing into her fighting stance might just be for a particular scene in story mode. At the same time, I don't think we can rule out the possibility of this scene depicting a new get-up animation just yet.
