Is there a fatality that chokes him?

>>715370103 (OP)
Pink Floyd you dumb nig

>>715370103 (OP)
Diluted their brand too much with crossover guestslop and microtransactions. In the eleventh hour they tried to add a new funny reference ninja with bizarre requirements to fight them, but by that point nobody cared anymore

I’d kill to have the next MK be a return to form but it will be full of shit DLC like fucking General Zod or LeBron James

"rain" works on it's own. even if you didn't know the musical connection it's like a cool codeword that makes sense with his powers like the rest of the ninjas. "floyd" is fucking retarded.

>>715375041
>Noob Saibot

>>715375143
sounds like a cool mysterious name better than fucking FLOYD

>>715370103 (OP)
oh i get it.. like, the band. cute.

>>715375370
Yep, just like Rain. Wears a purple outfit.

More like George

And Smoke is gray and stealthy, Ermac is red and floats around whispering souls-color-coded ninja logic, baby. But Floyd? What powers does he have, dad-rock hypnosis? Does he summon walls and comfortably numb his enemies to death?

>literally called noob
>the term for new and shitty player
>cool

>>715375761
noob saibot precedes the online gaymer term "noob" by like 10-15 years

>>715375893
Are you fucking stupid?

>>715376081
nigger mk2 came out the early 90s you fucking 2000 born zoomer baby no one was saying "noob" back then

>>715375893
Anon, the term noob goes back to the 80s and that's not including newbie.

>>715370103 (OP)
He's a gag character, it was a terrible dad joke thought up by Ed Boon.

That's where it begins and ends.

>>715375693
This is just a nudge to the origin of mortal kombat. They wanted to bring a new secret character like they used to do. None of them had any supposed powers before hand but a few characteristics like jade being immune to projectiles and everything can be changed whenever they'd like

>>715376220
>zoomers calling other people zoomers
Jesus fucking christ dude. Quit while you're ahead.

>>715376274
no you are all wrong, ed boon coined the term when his backwards named character kicked the shit out of every mortal kombat player and started calling everyone who got beat by him a "noob" because they were really bad

>>715376274
maybe according to some shit you read online but i literally heard the word until the 2000s. no one was ever saying "noob" playing mk2 in the 90s. I'm 37 and I lived it

>>715376549
No, no he didn't.

>>715376549
>>715376615
You know you two are contradicting each other, right?

>>715376901
you know there are people who are wrong and then theres me, right?

>>715376986
Assuming you're the second anon you would fall into the loudly ignorant camp.

>>715376549
The term noob originated as a shortened version of newbie which like most slang originated with the army and it was used well before mk2.

>>715377232
the term noob originated from ed boon when his broken ass character AI kicked everyone's ass and so the term got infamous and everyone who was bad at MK and later at anything got called "noob" in reference to that secret karacter

>>715376549
>>715377541
Can I ask why you think that makes sense considering you could only fight him on the original machine after a 50 win streak?

>>715377753
That's the console version.
The machine required 25 if I remember right which is still a feat in and of itself.

>>715370103 (OP)
He was hiding under my knee the whole time

>>715377753
newbie was used a lot back then but only with the introduction of arguably one of the most influential videogames in the world (specially at the time) it was changed to noob. come on this is like maths and even if noob was used in the army there is no way that caught up as a INTERNET/videogame slang. try to use your brain a little here

>>715370103 (OP)
Story focus + dumb humor + muh gore instead of dumb story + dumb gore + dumb humor

>>715375693
He has prismatic light powers iirc

>>715370103 (OP)
it's made by trannies now

>>715378468
Oh, you're from the sharty.
No wonder you don't know what you're talking about.

>>715375143
Yes, Noob is also a dumb name

>>715375693
Apparently he controls electricity and crystals.

>>715376549
You are gaslamping me!

The PSX can produce mind boggling effects!

Ninja Lives Matter!

It's cool that we are finally getting a new generic colored ninja, but he's stuck in the worst MK since 4

We draw the line at pink outfits even though they've been doingquirky shit for years with shit like babalities, but this year, nah, it's too much , too fucking much. Pink outfits? In my game where a movie actor's special is to drop down into the splits and punch another man's testicles as they explode in slow motion? Nahhhh too much bro
