Did Hans Lo just confirmed Reptile in MKX accidentally?

First of all, I'm new here. So if I did something wrong please tell me.

In recent interview to the brazilian website TechTudo (here's the link, in portuguese: http://www.techtudo.com.br/noticias/noticia/2014/09/queremos-reescrever-historia-em-mortal-kombat-x-afirma-produtor.html), the senior producer of Netherrealm Studios, Hans Lo, COULD POSSIBLY confirmed that Reptile will be in MKX.

Again, it's a speculation, AND IT'S NOT CONFIRMED, but just like Ed Boon talking about "Sub-Zero A vs Raiden C" with that "If he's in the game" thing, that could mean something.


I translated the part where he said about it:


TechTudo: It wasn't only the story that changed. To this new game, you're introducing the character variation system, which everyone of them presenting 3 variations. What you guys expect from this?

Hans Lo: It's the same thing, we're searching for variety in terms of gameplay. If we just let things as they were, after some time people would start to say: "Oh, there's Scorpion! And there's Sub-Zero, he's just a blue variation of Scorpion. AND THERE'S REPTILE, he's just a green variation of Scorpion."


Why would he speak about people comparing Reptile to Scorpion if he weren't in the game?

What do you guys think? Was that just an example or could it really be a thing? grin

First off, welcome to MKO!! Hope you enjoy it here!

Great find, man. Boon tends to show off a decent amount of Reptile fan art on Twitter, and while neither of these things are hard confirmation by any means, it definitely leads me toward Reptile being in the game.

I don't know if he's one if the six mystery legs from the pic Boon put out there, but he certainly could be one or two of them.

Either way, something in my gut tells me that he could be the next reveal. Hopefully we find out soon!

He's likely referring to them starting off as palette swaps. Back in the day the ninjas were indentified by color. I personally think it was just him using an example of why they felt the need to add more variety to the gameplay.

Welcome to MKO btw.
Thanks guys!

Yeah, that could be just an example. I just thought about it because of Boon confirming Raiden before his reveal (even if it was pretty obvious). I really hope he's in the game.

I do suspect that he's in the game. Ed shows him a lot of love on Twitter.

I'd be surprised if Reptile doesn't make it in. With how well each character has looked so far, I'm really excited to see the possibilities of what they can do with him.

I wouldn't dismiss it entirely though.

Johnny Cage has been more or less confirmed as playable after an interview with Adam Urbano. Plus Reptile is pretty popular so I'm pretty sure he's in the game.

Welcome to MKO. I hope you have armor and a hardhat.

He most likely refered to the times when all ninjas were paletter swaps of each other, so, sadly, it doesn't confirm anything.
Hahah, I really didn't realize about the visit counts :P

Do you get off on telling people they did something wrong? Because I've seen you do it several times now.

And btw, your sig isn't working. Please get that fixed ASAP; there was some nice work on there.

I think he was talking about the Pallet Swaps too.. I guess this game has space for just one more "Ninja", being either Reptile or Ermac (I personally, preferer Ermac). Im pretty sure Smoke and Noob Saibot will be DLC.

Seems like he's talking about the pallette swaps. Though I think reptile has a good chance of being in.

Yeah these two are for sure a good bet. Both are from the MK1 era more or less and both are very popular. But until I see them I will remain a worried sick fanboy staying up late into the night to periodically flick my flashlight onto their portraits, which I have next to my bed like every other completely normal, rational MK fan.

I want Reptile in, I just hope they don't fuck up his appearance too much(as they always do, he was hideous in MK9).

He was just reffering to the palette swap days.
I hope Reptile is out.

Let's hope he'll show him as much love in the story mode, if Reptile returns.

Reptile was in every MK game except for MK VS DC-Universe, Deception (only a cameo) so there is a good change he will be in.

He wasn't in MK3.

And I think basing expectation on how many times character was present in the games is not a good idea. Times change as well as popularity of the characters.

Yes, I do get off that way. Funny you ask.

Yeah I just found out my account got suspended due to inactivity. I already e-mailed those ass-hats and probably going to switch hosts.

I just hope they don't just make him a character that has nothing going on with him AGAIN if he gets put into this game.

I'm tired of seeing helpless Reptile get screwed over because he decided to make a bad choice in believing those he helps will ultimately give him his race back. No, find something else to get your race back if this is the direction he's going in.


He's an awesome character, but just has some of the worst luck when it comes to story. But at least it's not as bad as Scorpion's.

Reptile has unlucky fate of being a low-tier stupid henchmen who usually affected by something, but never creates anything of his own.
