For a face looking that ugly, I'm going to say Shithead Sareena. *sigh* Maybe even Robin or the court jester. Yellow Ranger is ruled out for this reveal. That's for sure...

I'm saying its Fujin, he looked sort of strange in MK4.

Look the caracter has a cape. That if so boot number 2 also looks to have a cape.

John Tobias in a kilt.

I have been staring at the photo for a long time and I noticed the object next to the character looks like a tornado and it hit me that it really could be Fujin.

I brightened it the right way.

Looks like Shinnok to me.

Looks insanely like Shinnok. His reveal is going to have me at Max hype when it finally comes.

Ed just gave a trollish hint towards Smoke, but I doubt it's him.

If he's not trolling,imo it could be an aged Quan.He is bald and maybe he is wearing a Trench coat like Mike did in MK Legacy.I think that DOES look like his nose line.I might be reaching n if so,oh well.Thats what I do sometimes.I just want him in so bad.Everybody has at least one kharacter they feel this way about.I do give congrats to other fans when ever a new kharacter is announced.I will still do the dance of joy if it's Shinny,it just won't be for days like it will be(I hope) for Q.

Yeah I agree with this, the face for sure crosses Noob off the list in my mind. I think it could be Shinnok, Shang Tsung (because MK1 and "throwback"), or Fujin (because of the other recent hint). I really, really hope its Shinnok. Even Fujin would be cool because it'd open the door for other MK4 characters. Reiko would also be a cool possibility. To me the face most resembles an aged Fujin or Reiko, but Reiko is a long shot.

Could it be that he (Boon) is preparing to do a *big* reveal down in Brazil next week?

The hints he's given so far seem to point to a wide-range of characters. There's the shadow (Shinnok?), the "Jaded" reference (Jade?), the lyrics (Fujin?), and now a "no smoking" sign (Smoke?). None of these hints seem to be interconnected. And, Boon did give us the earlier hint of 6 pairs of boots.

Maybe we'll see 4-6 characters revealed next (bear in mind, this isn't just hopeful fanboy thinking; I'm merely making an assumption based on the hints we've been given, their seemingly unconnected nature to a particular character, and the fact that we have yet to discover anything about those 6 pairs of boots).

Edit: Hmm...Boon also mentions "E-smoke"...Electronic Smoke...Cyber-Smoke?

Let's have Shinnok then! Or Quan Chi.. Hell I don't care who it is cause it's confusing the crap out of me. Let's have the reveal already.

Guys I know who the shadow man really is :B

Good that's very good indeed

The face reminds me of the Shroud of Turin.

JESUS CONFIRMED!! :D

noob.

I think it's either Noob Saibot or Shinnok.

Wait. Wait..

What if instead of aping other character's movesets like he used to do What if Shinnok can use the souls of the dead heroes and their abilities as a variation? CyberZero, Jade, Kabal, Kung Lao etc.

It's Shinnok! It looks just like his costume from MKM:Subzero just without his weird hat!

Either one of these...

Shinnok
Shang Tsung
Shujinko
Quan Chi

That would make sense, but please no. Shinnok's biggest problem was that he lacked an identity of his own. If Shinnok is in MKX, he absolutely has to have his own moveset.

Shinnok 100%

It's just the nose...and the way the face looks overall, but mainly the nose.

What KungLaodoesntsuck said^

Sure as hell looks like Shinnok to me. I'm very confident that he'll have his own moveset this time around. I think that NRS can do amazing things with him and his abilities. If it is indeed him, I cannot wait to see him in action!

I'm probably alone here but I see Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa when I look at the picture.

Which is why I said variation, but I see where you're both coming from.
