Yeah, the Shao Kahn thing is more comparable to Tira in SC6, who had story content in the base game, but was locked out of it behind the fighter pass. At least Goro and Darkseid in the last NRS games I could kinda stomach to a point since they were just bonus characters who had no part in the story or anything, but now... Eh, I suppose it's a distinction without a difference, but phuck the preorder character BS in general. I'm fine with getting MK11 without preordering. Don't feel I'll suffer without Shao Kahn who I wasn't that particularly hyped for anyway.
Yeah, Cassie looks better here than she did in MKX, though not much a fan of her.
The presentation of him is good at least. He's indeed based on the Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa version in the movie, even voiced by him it seems. Hyped for the character itself, but would be even more hype if he wasn't DLC.
Would've been fine if it was someone like Michael Myers or a less expected MK character as the first shown DLC, showing a glimpse of them like when they first showed Jason in MKX, but now we know Shang Tsung could have been completed and easily included in the base roster. Showing off DLC characters before you even reveal the entire base roster is dumb regardless though. Don't like how MK has been marketed for awhile. The roster leak was sadly the most interesting pre-release hype we got here.
I feel almost certain now too that Mileena and the others like Shinnok who were initially leaked with Shang will be DLC as well.
"The Daemon lied with every breath. It could not help itself but to deceive and dismay, to riddle and ruin. The more we conversed, the closer I drew to one singularly ineluctable fact: I would gain no wisdom here."
So basically, they took the elemental gods from the Sub-Zero Mythologies spinoff (Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire) and combined them into one character moveset.
Gender: Male Location: In Luna's mane, chasing STAAARS!
If I didn't know any better, I'd say she is the elemental gods from Mythologies fused together. Must've split into four to guard the amulet that would free Shinnok. Being his sister, makes sense.
