Oh, after looking at the 2nd trailer again, I saw that Aztec looking guy that I didn't really notice the first time because of the choppy framerate I was dealing with on the IGN site. He's kinda cool.
And Subzero being able to pick up one of his ice clones and throw it and someone. That's... new. From the dialogue though, it sounded like that was Bi-Han Subzero, not Kuai Liang. Could be wrong though.

Kuai Liang was turned into a cyborg after all. IIRC, in the original timeline, they didn't have a way to completely reverse it.
Resurrection on the other hand...
Or, it's a third brother. DUN DUN DUNNNNN.
Is that aztec looking guy Shinnok by any chance?

No, the Aztec guy is someone new.

But Bi Han is Noob Saibot now.
Anyhow, some more details from Boon on the game... Apparently Cage and Sonya had a daughter, and the game takes place twenty something years after the events of MK9.
I hope not too many characters in the roster are just random new faces and that we'll get some more returning fighters as well (besides Scorpion and Subzero).
The part where Boon says "the big bad is gonna be a fun surprise returning character" makes me think it's Liu Kang or someone, in which case, Shinnok and Quan Chi may just be backseat villains in this game. I dunno. They're differing from the old timeline much more than anticipated now.

Well Cassie Cage has a mix of Johnny's and Sonya's specials according to Boon... The nut buster and kiss of death sounds like a neat combination actually.But yeah, hope her parents are still somewhere to be seen.
sure, she might be nice; just wouldn't be the same is all.
I am glad that johnny and sonya got together though.

It was something I would've expected a long time ago (back in the day), so it feels kinda weird in a way that them being together only happened now. lol
Gameplay b1tches!!!!

Yeah 😬... but still better than Cage just dying again. Hoping they'll show some gameplay or something of her next though so I can get a real opinion on her.It was something I would've expected a long time ago (back in the day), so it feels kinda weird in a way that them being together only happened now. lol
Yeah; took them long enough I guess.

Nice.
Just wondering, do people here prefer the block button or do they wish you held back to block? Boon confirmed that the block button would be returning, much to the chargin of certain people.
For games like MK, I think a block button works better considering almost every other character has a offensive teleport or a move that hits from behind. If these games were back to block, some of the faster teleports would be almost impossible to stop since you'd have to change directions instantly to hold your block. If someone was in the middle of a combo and then threw in a teleport, it'd be a really powerful mixup that would throw off game balance.
I know in Injustice you held back to block, but that initially didn't have characters with offensive teleports, but once Scorpion was added things went to hell. I know Dhalsim can teleport in SF4 (and a few other characters can get behind you with similar moves), but that isn't the same as Scorpion's flying across the screen almost instantly and hitting you from behind.
