I'll agree that Noob Saibot needs a redesign. I'm not sure if going the Konquest route is the best idea though because that show and what it did with the characters was frankly terrible.

Noob never really had any steady abilities in the few games he was in, they've always been altered, or removed and replaced with something else. I like the idea of him being made out of something viscous though, just not oil like in Konquest.

Personally I'd like to see him completely abandon any solid state and become something like the Venom or Carnage symbiote. He would still look like a ninja, but his body would be much more fluid. He'd be able to stretch his arms, or use them to lash people with, shoot out body spikes, or ground tendrils, etc. I think doing something like that, or like mentioned above, a more Glacious style would be better than just throwing in a ninja who can use throwing stars and teleport like Scorpion.

I was watching this video, and I kept thinking that Noob Saibot really looked like some freak from a BDSM club, and then at some point he started beating Kung Lao with a big floppy black dildo. This is not how I want to see Noob Saibot, ever. Please.

Like I said, Konquest has done terrible things to the MK franchise.

I doubt he'll be playable in this game

If Noob Saibot does appear he should not look like he is from this world.

Liquid Nitrogen esque smoke should pour off him. His figure should be pure black. No details or lighter shades of black/grey.

Lighting shouldn't effect his model. (Eg if he is fighting in the Dead Pool - His body shouldn't be effected by the green glow of the acid.

I almost think he shouldn't have white eyes with after trails either.

I think an X-Ray move for Noob could be something like this:

Noob punches his oponent square in the face. The guy stumbles back, only to bump into another Noob who punches him again in the face. Then, both Noobs deliver a devistating front kick to both the opponents back and front sides. The 2nd Noob then dissapears.

I think that's pretty cool Jedisith. But I'd add more of a ghostly teleport effect to it. Maybe he can have some doppleganger specials.

Hahaha I kind of liked it, he looks nasty, grimy, almost non-human... literally like something that just crawled out of the shadows.

And the dildo was NOT floppy!

That was not Noob Saibot... that was a man in a black latex suit who did some capoeira and then swung a stick a few times... and you want Noob to be like that?

I like the approach they took with Noob in MKD/MKA, but I want them to go further with the shadows to make him a really creepy character. Also, I agree that he should have kept the scythe instead of that incredibly stupid troll-club-hamme-thingy he had in MKA. That did NOT fit him AT ALL!!!

I liked him in UMK3/MKT where he could send off a shadow-clone of himself to grab the opponent. Should he return, I hope he gets those moves back.

Story wise: MKC is a good idea while incorpate Jerrod's Shadow Watcher storyline. And some relations with 3 or more characters


Design wise: He should be a Shadow of at least three characters and using each of them as an alternate costume.


Special moves wise: He has a special move from those characters while having MKD-MKA special moves.


Noob Saibot should keep his umbrakinetic(shadow) theme within his overall design, movelist and storyline.

To be fair, while Conquest got his storyline completely wrong (because back then, the games version didn't have a clear one yet, so they were stuck making one up on their own), they actually were not far off base with his look.

The games do often represent Brotherhood of the Shadow uniforms as having a bondage or gimpsuit theme, and the pure shadow/darkness that Noob's body is made of has been depicted behaving like an oily liquid when he teleports in other media before.

Noob Saibot should look closely like Sub-Zero in his black wraith form and glowing blue eyes...
Not some gay bondage gimp *rolls eyes*

If anything related to that... i would only agree to this only concept which is the one on the far right side



I'll agree that a new fighting style and a weapon...

I have to say that my favourite costume for Noob was his MK 4 one with the cowl.The terminator one looked awesome and the default was just too good with the red sign of B.O.T.S. on the back.

Here are pics so you can remember what I'm talking about :

I like his default all the way... but the hoodie costume i can agree to being an alt. But i hope it all black instead of white and gray. I hate the ghoul costume... Prelude to Havik?

I really like the one far to the right concept and always did.I wonder till this day why they didn't included it.That's the best costume since MK 4.I like his deception default, but it looked rushed to me.

Google Image: "Demon Wraith"

That's what I think he should look like since he is after all a demon wraith.

I agree because Noob is the original Subzero who is already in the game.

Noob should always just remain pure black/dark imo. His shadow form is fine with me and I really like his grim reaper appearance as well. The scythe weapon matches him perfectly.

He should lose the ninja stars. While I dont think he should look exactly like he does in MKC, It'd be neat if he has some moves involving oil and other viscous substances. I've always wanted him to be able to liquify into a black liquid and use attacks like Glacius from Killer Instinct, not to mention have a physical style like Venom or Carnage. Just like another user stated. Moves where he could manipulate his body into liquids is perfect for him.

I also agree with the user that said he shouldn't look like he's from this world. Before it was revealed that Noob was the original Sub-Zero, I thought it'd be a cool story plot if he was a dark alien from another galaxy that joined the tournament to show that humans are nothing compared to whats really out there. Liquid Nitrogen esque smoke pouring off him would be a neat effect, or that black smoke from MKC. To me, in general, Noob needs more vodoo and shadow/ghastly attacks (can't forget the clone moves too). He also needs more special moves where he plays mind tricks with you using black holes. I had this fatality idea where he actually morphs into a black hole and the opponent completely gets stripped into pieces and sucked inside. I'd love it.

Noob needs to have combos where he uses his scythe. Double scythe's attached to chains would be much sicker though - especially for long range. So many things can be done with Noob, but above all he should always remain pure dark and eerie, a complete mystery.

A phantom look like This and This would be sick.

Reposting my answer to another thread:

"For the yet to be disclosed characters - what would YOU like them to say or do in their intros?"

Noob Saibot - You see a shadow approaches and takes over the most of the arena.In one of the ends it starts to smoke really bad with black smoke and the arena is shacking really hard.

He forms from shadows that look like souls and also from that black smoke.He doesn't speaks, but whispers.He says something that sounds like incantation, but you can't tell the exact words.

If you watched clash of the titans you'll know what I'm talking about.Noob must speak like the genie.Here's a pic of the genie : http://thetorchonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/clash_of_the_titans_inside.jpg

I agree that he needs a HUGE overhaul, but I really really doubt he's going to be in the game apart from being in someone's story.

This may be taking it too far, but what if someone else died and was reborn as the wraith we knew as Noob Saibot?

Bloody hell yes we know that. But don't you remember the part where Sub Zero dies in the storyline and becomes Noob in MK3?
It's not as if because the older sub is playable means that scorpion can't kill him because it's one game.
It's perfectly possible to have noob and sub playable in the arcade and have sub killed in the story mode and then change later to noob.

Noob in conquest was horrible and they gave him capoeira which totaly doesn't fit him at all.

I liked his MKD look but I think they could go farther with it.

I would also like to see him more of a wraith.
