Okay, hear me out on this. We've seen that when Erron Black does his X-Ray, he fires a bullet that literally has his opponent's name on it. Now, I figure they must be putting that graphical effect on the bullet in one of two ways. Either they have textures of each individual letter, and they're putting them on the bullet in the proper order to form the names, or there's an individual texture for each possible opponent's name as a whole. I think it's the latter, due to the fact that multiple instances of the same letter (i.e., the two n's in "Kung Jin" or the two a's in "Kotal Kahn") look different from each other.

So where am I going with this? When the game is out, undoubtedly people will be digging through the data files to rip textures. It should be interesting to see what names will be found on Erron's bullets. Who knows? We might see names of hidden characters, characters who almost made the roster but didn't, or future DLC characters. And knowing NRS, they'll probably throw a few names in there just as red herrings. What do you guys think?

It's actually a good way to data mine this kind of info. Sometimes archives are named in misleading ways, but those textures have to show the name of each character. Specially with the game releasing on PC from day 1, data miners will have it easy to extract and squeze all the info they can find.

Yeah that's definitely a way to find out any characters already in the game, like secret characters and stuff, idk if it will have future DLC characters in it though, then again idk how this stuff works so idk why im even talking on it lol
It'd be funny if they put just "???" for secret fighters

Imagine the trolling by having everyone's names in, including those really hated like Sue How and Cobra, including those from spinoffs.

I fully expect NRS to troll Fujin and Rain fans in this way. I'd be amused if they hide Hsu Hao, Kobra, etc. in there.

I'd LOL hard if NRS trolled us with names like Hsu Hao hidden in there, or even completely made up names.

I'd laugh too. Crappy characters beware, Erron Black has a bullet with your name on it and he's going to get at least one of you! ;)
