I don't dispute that but to this day Boon still sticks to NRS saying that some are hints and some are actual character outlines, he never said all were hints at characters (pretty obvious though considering we're getting new characters)

Which is correct; 11 on the top row is Ermac, 14 on the bottom row is Reptile, 23 is definitely Kano and 24 is Quan Chi- they're right there, just flip from the new select screen and look at them & then look at the original outlines on the first select screen, they match up.


I don't see any of those matching the characters. The one you think is Reptile is an image of Neo from Matrix. The one you think is Ermac has hair not a hood ( Prince maybe?)

The silhouettes might hint at characters ( Terminator = Kano ) But they are not actual MK characters.

The 3rd on the bottom is Obama, Baraka hint? The Lego man could be a Cyrax hint? ( I wish)


But that's my point; the pics people added to the original select screen (in the OP, which isn't the badly edited one) are mostly bullshit!

The neo pic doesn't exactly match the outline of the second box on the bottom row but look at the portrait of Reptile on the official new select screen taken directly from the Kombat Kast 2 stream- that matches.

The portrait of Kano from the official select screens are identical to the outline of the second to last box on the bottom row; it can't be denied because it's obvious, unless NRS is suddenly going to decide to alter Kano's look drastically before release just so people can say "Yay the Terminator looking box was Kano"...

If it makes you feel any better I want her in the game. If NRS told me I could pick only one MK4 character to be playable in the game aside from Quan Chi I would pick her(Reiko being a close second). With the way she was teased in MK9 and how NRS got so many requests for her to be DLC for that game, I can't see her not making it in. If she isn't on the initial roster I'd almost say she is a lock for DLC.

I want her to come back inspired by her Deception look and to be a sorceress. MK needs one and I think Tanya is a perfect fit for that role. smile

This is what I was thinking.

Just for fun & old times sake...... I believe #1 was Magneto, so Raiden? With #11 I automatically thought of Shang Tsung from Deadly Alliance with that type of hairstyle. #3 would be Cyrax cause of the yellow. #10 I think was Patrick Bateman so closest I could think brutally speaking was Mileena. The dreads in #13 scream Jacqui to me. #14 is obvious; Neo/Kenshi. #15 also obvious; Baraka/Obama. #18 is Rorschach but could be Kung Lao cause of the hat. #20 is Kano because of the eye matching the Terminator scene.

Top row:
1- Raiden
2- ?
3- Cyrax
4- Scorpian
5- Cassie
6- Kotal Kahn
7- Ferra/Torr
8- D'Vorah
9- Sub-Zero
10- Mileena
11- Shang Tsung
12- ?

Bottom row:
13- Jacqui Briggs
14- Kenshi
15- Baraka
16- ?
17- ?
18- Kung Lao
19- ?
20- Kano
21- ?
22- ?
23- ?
24- ?

None of the silhouettes match the currently unveiled characters,The guy you think is Kano clearly has both of his ears and hair on both sides...

Yes, Tanya was almost a DLC for the last game.

So for this new 2015 game.... what will they do? Discard Tanya's polygons? To the Recycle Bin? I can only imagine.

You all better get your magnifying glasses and telescopes to find Tanya. lol
Maybe she is a small yellow pixel in the selekt screen. sad

Before I joined the MKO forum, I was indifferent on Tanya. Since I've joined and see you posting non-stop on various threads of your borderline psychotic obsession with that character, that's changed. Because of your habitual Tanya posts, I now hate her and I am almost tempted to take the hour drive to Chicago, pound the door of NRS, and beg them not to include Tanya at all either in the game or in the comic.


Anyway, I practically forgot what the topic of this particular thread was because of her 15 billionth post about Tanya. The first character select screen cannot be real, as you don't see the silhouttes of characters like Raiden or Kung Lao who have hats. With the exception of one character (and his hat is much to short for the hats that Lao and Raiden sport, and it does in fact look like Rohrschach), none of the other squares show characters that look remotely like Raiden or Kung Lao.

"JAX007 Wrote: None of the silhouettes match the currently unveiled characters,.." If that was right that would mean we've had no characters revealed since E3, because the select screen hadn't changed until the stream on Thursday, and they're still using the same one except they've now added one extra box.

My guesses on these (first select screen)

10- Takeda
13- Mileena, Tanya or Jacqui
19- Johnny or The Red head dude of the Special Forces (in comic).
20- Returning/New Cyborg
21- Liu Kang
24- Baraka (looks like ears are slightly pointed).

Ok. And I should care, why? You want to insinuate that is my fault?

Your own anger issues are your issues alone. Not mine.

You are free to like or hate Tanya. You are free to drive to Chicago and New York and Tokyo and etc. It's fine.

Totally agree. Just ridiculous. I bet if Sub-Zero or Scorpion hadn't been revealed yet you wouldn't hear the end of it. There'd be an uproar. People harp on about their favourite characters here all the time, but when it's a Tanya post, suddenly there's a problem. Rather sad that one character can create such spitefulness in people. So Maria_Linda is passionate about Tanya being included, how is it any different to, for example, all the Mileena posters who are vocal about their desperation to see her in MKX? Some people take life way to seriously.

Yes it's sarcasm, its just voicing frustration of the frequency I see with her posting non-stop about Tanya. Of course everyone has favorite characters, mine is Sub Zero and Kung Lao, but I wasn't going nuts prior to Kung Lao's reveal on practically every thread clamoring that NRS include Kung Lao. Frankly, I was shocked that NRS did reveal him. I was one of the people who, naively, believed that NRS would finally begin to adopt "the dead stay dead" and enter a new generation of fighters in this game.

Again, I have no issue with folks talking about their favorite characters on a fan forum. But every...single...post that I've seen her make on various threads seems to be about Tanya. There's so much more to the game than one character. The character Tanya isn't annoying, it's someone repeatedly mentioning a character over and over and over with every post and seemingly avoiding the topic of the thread itself often times.

I know :(

I was just hoping that, although I liked Kung Lao and Kitana alot, that this MKX would set the stage for a majority of brand new characters to enter the fray and basically say farewell to the few surviving ones in this installation.


I am curious about that mysterious box to the end, I have to agree that it likely may be where you can select downloadable characters like Goro or others.
