    If you're going to put in Sektor, you should probably put in Cyrax. And if you're going to put in Mileena, well, Kitana needs to be in there, as well. Those are the two new characters that have been confirmed to appear in Mortal Kombat, which is currently in development at the newly renamed NetherRealm Studios.

    Cyrax, in case you forgot, is the yellow robot ninja from Mortal Kombat 3 who spits out a sticky net that behaves similarly to Scorpion's spear. He can also drop bombs, which used to set up some pretty fun little juggle combos. Kitana's the princess of Outworld, and she throws fans around... fans that kill


     Energy net!
     Energy net!
     
    == TEASER ==Two more backgrounds that debuted in early editions of MK are also returning: The Bell Tower and the desert, which was traditionally related to Cyrax, who could be seen wriggling around, stuck in the sand as fights went on in front of him. Here are the rest of the screenshots of the new stuff. 


     
     
    Also, here's your new iPhone wallpaper, featuring series co-creator, Ed Boon.

    Cyrax looks way more like a robot now. before he was some cyborg looking human. Benefits of actual character models I guess.

    So far, I'm really going for the art style that they have on everyone.  Cyrax finally is more than just a predator ripoff.

    Lies! Cyrax's energy net, from what I can recall, keeps them in the air so you can't do ground combos. HAR HAR HAR

    He started off that way, then they adopted him into the main series.

    I've got a friend who's almost literally salivating for Stryker. Always been his favorite character.

    Wasn't Rain a non-cannon, non-Midway character made up for the silliness that was MK Trilogy? I could of sworn Jeff stated that in a recent Bombcast. Maybe I'm thinking of Ermac.     "
    Well Rain is a joke character, but he is part of the cannon. Ermac was a glitched version of Scorpion, that later became a playable character. "
    Ed Boon created Rain as a joke, but created him nonetheless.  The Scorpion turning red glitch is more or less a myth but Ermac is legit anyway.

    When it comes to fighting games, the more characters the merrier. I always want as many playable characters as possible in my fighting games so please, NeatherRealm, try to put in as many characters from the Mortal Kombat universe as possible.

    I'm a little puzzled about a few things in this MK.
     

    • Is Cyrax full robot again after spending time in the 3D games getting his humanity back and working for Earth?
    • Who is that Sub-Zero? It isn't old-man Dragon-Medallion Cyromancer (Shredder) costume Sub and it certainly isn't Noob Saibot.
    • Have they gone back to the MK 1-Trilogy storyline?
     
    Apart from that it looks great. Also, can I have Blind Kenshi back? He was the most interesting new-to-3D-MK character.
