From the sound of that video it sounds like Ed might be trying to put a character from Brazil. I feel like it could be Jade. I thought maybe Tanya, but I think she is too black. There could also be a new character. Im thinking someone similar to Eddy Gordo. Im really holding out hope for Jade though.

Jade nor Tanya are from Earthrealm. They are Edenian, a whole other realm. So they can't be from Brazil.
You should read some MK lore.

I know my MK lore. Thank you very much :). But what I was saying is that Jade has the skin color of a typical person in Brazil. Ed said he wanted to include a character for Brazil.

If you really did know your lore, you'd know why it couldn't be Jade or Tanya.

Oh my god. I know Jade and Tanya are bith from Edenia. I meant that Jade could represent Brazil because of her skin color. If you think I dont know mk lore, quiz me right now. Ask me questions. Do it. I want some questions from mr. Know it all.

Wait, you have two accounts?
Anyways, wouldn't it be better to have an actual character FROM Brazil rather than just have some other character "represent" Brazil just because of her skincolour? I mean, I'm caucasian, but that doesn't mean I represent every country with white people in them. It doesn't make sense.

I accidently logged out and lol I just realized I logged in on my old account. I see what you are saying, but its not like any character from Earthrealm (sonya, jax, kano, liu kang, kabal, nightwolf, etc) have a location stated from where they are from. At least thats as far as I know.

Actually, most of them have.
I thought you said you knew your MK lore.

I just looked it up. I guess they do. And I do know my mk lore. I just never saw if they had set up where they were from in earthrealm.

Ive always wanted to see a Brazilian character who had small to medium sized blades in the front of their shoes and relied heavily on Capoiera. Have a projectile that had something to do with Carnival. Like a fiery headdress. and a fatality they could do a Meia Lua de Compasso type kick slicing the opponents throat they repeating the kick knocking off the opponents head

MKX could use a Brazilian type character, preferably female as the roster will contain at least 95% male characters as it always has been.

Why?
Would not mind a capoeira style fighter, in 2D it could work quite interestingly.
Also, if we are talking about Brazilians, how about instead of the standard dark colored babes/males we...
-include a native amazonian,
-include rich plantation owner, hunter
-an ex-nazi hiding in Brazil (would be more of an Argentinian thing though)
-a ghetto runner from the shantytowns
-an elderly football player
-a cowherder
-a woodsman/excavator worker who decimates the jungle
see, there is a variety there.

For ethnic purposes? Also for the Brazilian culture to have a character they can relate to?

That is not an economical reason. You might as well put every nationality there by this logic.
Ethnicity in itself does not provide quality of any kind.

I'm Danish. There are no characters in Mortal Kombat that even resembles a Scandinavian stereotype. Do you think if NRS made a Danish character and put him into MK, I would love the game more?
... not really. Because MK is not about that. The characters' ethnicity doesn't matter more than what realm they are from.
If a character is Brazilian, then cool... but does it matter? No.
What if the character turns out to be a complete douchebag? What if his moves are terrible? What if he looks like crap? Those things are more important than him being from a certain part of the world.
This is nothing against Brazil. I feel like this about any character who's concept is based on its nationality. I don't want an Edenian character just to have an Edenian character. I wouldn't want a Shokan just to have a Shokan. I don't want a human character just to have yet a human. I don't want a black guy, an Asian guy, a Scandinavian guy or whatever, just to have a character from that part of the world.
The nationality is a low priority, because a nationality does not make a character.
Do you get what I'm saying?

And do you know why he seems like an interesting character? It's not his nationality.
