Sharefrock. Dude. (I'm going to continue addressing you thusly)

Your theory about the Tarkatan pic being a Baraka alt is possible, though still unlikely. That still doesn't explain the incredibly low poly model, and the lack of any significant or interesting detail/markings in the design. If this is Baraka, it's a truly horrible one.

Really look at that pic of "Baraka" again, then look at this pic of Erron Black. Notice the difference in detail, poly count, and texture resolution found in a confirmed playable character.

Exactly, Which is why I have no idea why people are acting like it's impossible Baraka perhaps could have made the cut. Seriously, we're not talking Nitara or fucking Ashrah- we're talking BARAKA, someone who's popularity I'd argue is bigger than that melon head- Jax.

If that is Baraka they're definitely phoning in the design. Same with Reptile so I believe it's him tbh.

Still, like Kill switch said, Erron have had some bad textures in certain screenshots as well. Not everyone looks great with their new design. I find Reptile's new look to be very low quality and lazy, yes he's a fleshed out playable character.

I feel like you guys are missing the point. In every image of Erron Black (and Reptile) their DESIGN is specific and detailed. Textures may pop in and out, but design doesn't. Bandoleers, intricate armor, unique sashes/pieces of cloth and clothing, high poly count, specific markings, etc. ; these are all things that do not vary from image to image.

I don't care whether Baraka is in or not, personally. I don't have a horse in this race. I'm just looking at the facts and doing some simple comparisons. The evidence isn't concrete either way, but if we're playing the odds then it's wise to assume this is likely a mid-ranked Tarkatan. Even that snippit of Rain was more detailed design-wise than this character. Everything about this screams Generic Tarkatan a la MK9 Challenge Tower.

Well we can't argue opinion so I guess we'll agree to disagree. Some good points you raised though. Guess we'll just have to wait and see. I just don't see how he can miss this game what with Mileena being so important and she has yet to have an ally playable(aside from Goro) while Kotal has ALL of his lackeys in action.

He has several costumes, including one unlocked through the mobile version. He is 100% playable, whether you want him to be or not.

Wow, just wow. I can't believe all this talk about this being Baraka and wether he's playable or not. Every time this happens, doubters are proven false. I don't mean to sound like a dick, but when I was right about the tower characters being Jax and Mileena, people were trying to say I'm wrong. Look what happened, they are in fact playable and in the game.

To whoever said Baraka looks too low res, not enough detailed, check out the high res version: High Res Baraka

He looks pretty detailed to me, and on par with designs like Mileena, Reptile, Kung Lao. For all we know the one who was thought to be Baraka in the story trailer could've been an older version of him.

Again there's plenty of reason why this character is Baraka, AND PLAYABLE.


-Baraka is a classic character introduced in MK2.
-Has been in every MK game except MK3, UMK3, MK4, MKDA.
-Did not die in MK9, even though death has no meaning in MK.
-General of the Tarkatan army, whose prescence is clearly there in the story of MKX
-His appearance in the achievements screenshot sports a different and more detailed design than the other goons in the army.
-Not as detailed as Deception Baraka? Compare Scorpions design in Deception and MKX. Much more goin on, they are going for simplicity for MKX. Same thing could be said about Subzero from Deception compared to MKX. Some characters do have very detailed costumes but some do not.
-E3 character select screen had sillouettes on hints of characters that would be revealed later on. One of them was Barrack Obama = Baraka.

Believe what you will guys, but this has been proven time and time again. Baraka will be playable, trust me.

You guys can't judge Baraka based on his lower quality model. Look at Cassie's alt from the same achievement list. Look at how plastic her skin details are, her hair looks like a Kraft Single lol. She looks very similar to how she looked when she was first announced.

With all due respect, when was it proven time and time again? The last I checked, the other characters in question, who we've only seen either a screenshot or clip of in story mode, weren't proven to be anything. Fujin, Li Mei, Rain, Smoke...if you are going to count Baraka as 100% playable, then you might as well count these characters too. Because they have the same amount of evidence.

These are old screen shots. Remember in one old screenshot johnny cage had black hair? They scrapped that idea. Maybe this is an early Baraka and the one we saw in the story trailer is the current model.
