Kano's Back for Mortal Kombat, Of Course

He doesn't look totally goofy this time around, either. As much as you can look not totally goofy in a Mortal Kombat game, anyway.

Never was a big Kano guy but he looks cool, I'm really digging the different colours thing.

I main Kano, so this is reassuring, but early design looks crap like always.

I like the look of the design. Seems almost like a subtle tease for an eventual Kano vs Cyborg match up if they ever cross dimensions again. Have those two fight in a cyberspace realm.

Well, at the very least this sure is a pretty-looking game.

Imagine if they took all the sweet character design and moves and made a Marvel: Ultimate Alliance style coop game.

I can't believe they straight up gave him Hsu Hao's cyber heart chest thing. That's what everyone wanted right, a call back to Hsu Hao?

Other than that it looks great though, especially the commando variant. I know some MK characters have had command throws, but I don't think there's ever really been a dedicated grappler before. Should be interesting.

@shortbreadtom: most of the color comes from the ninjas anyway, and we've only seen sub zero and scorpion

Looks great. Excited for this to come around, I really enjoyed MK9. I hope that the environment stuff isn't so overbearing in this game, though. I really, really disliked it in Injustice.

@marakor: I thought the same thing, I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same voice actress.

For some reason I thought that was Adam Jenson until I actually read the title and stinger.

Every time I see this I can't help but think about the competitive scene. Would they pick the style at the same time, or try to fake out and counter their opponent's style? I can't tell if it would be really cool and enhance strategy or just be very annoying to deal with.

The more I see of these new character variations, the more I like 'em.
