    When it comes to MK, I'm going to believe nothing on the basis of concept art - I mean remember the concept art for MK:Mythologies and remember what we got in the end? Psh that was horrible.
    Or that Jax game for that matter.

    They have some amazing concept art, but some spectacularly meh execution sometimes.

    If Street Fighter, Tekken and Guilty Gear have proven anything, it's that you can have the most ridiculous cast with the most outrageous and unintelligible plots, and people will buy it because the gameplay is good.

    Guess what went wrong with the Mortal Kombat series?

    @shouryuuken: As a former user of Kano, I love this rendition of him. It looks wonderful. He actually has a lot more character with this look (my opinion of course) than he did before. He always seemed lacking compared to the likes of Liu Kang, Kung Lao, or any other character. The loss of the awful red jumpsuit or the ridiculous vest he wore gets a warm welcome from me.

    I didn't say it was bad, in fact, if I controlled an army of hot women...these are the outfits I would send them out to fight in. Sonia is only following my instructions, complete with dildo sword.

    Only my elite team would be completely naked.

    Why you ask? Because it's awesome.

    Oh...and before you ask. My men wouldn't fight....they're part of my harem.

    @wirebrain: Really? I mean, besides the color scheme... which he's always kinda had. I think Kano as Terminator and Raiden as the lightning dude from Big Trouble in Little China are more spot-on.

    And Sonya's perfect, don't change a thing.

    Sonya really looks absolutely impractical. She looks like she's going to work at a Strip Joint in Compton.

    Dismemberment would have been a great addition. Remember Time Killers and Blood Storm? As horribly flawed as they were, losing your limbs during the fight was a great mechanic. (One-hit decaps... not so much, but I digress)

    I find it sort of hard to believe that the Mortal Kombat team rejected any character designs at all.

    These are better than normal MK fare, in any case, especially that Scorpion.
