X-Play: Mortal Kombat Hands-On Preview

Post by Gambid »

G4TV has published a Mortal Kombat Hands-On Video Preview. Nothing really new is revealed in this video. However, if you look close enough you may see some shadows fling across the moon on the Pit arena. Ed Boon has also tweeted that there is a hidden character reveal in this video. Let us know if you find something else:
This was our 999th news. The next one should be big.

Meat? If you mean the character, then what about him. He will probably not be in the game. He is a too minor character. However, I don't see the connection to this news.

Ed posted on his twitter account "XPlay's MK preview is up now! See if you can find the hidden character reveal !! http://bit.ly/fYfFVy" and now many rumors are surfacing. People have reported seeing Kano and Frost, however. At 2:57 of the video, Adam brings up the characters and during the discussion a match between Scorpion and Sub-Zero is being played. The match ends at 2:57 and you see a word in the middle of the screen. I can't make out what it says, due to the low resolution, but the first letter I believe is D. You can also see something on the left too, it's directly under the big "6 hits" lettering. I'm not sure if that's supposed to be there, but can anyone make out what that says?

http://www.g4tv.com/videos/51065/Mortal ... n-Preview/ <<<pause at 2:57

In high definition at 2:57 it says Scorpion wins.

In standard definition at 2:57 it says something else

and in the SD version, it's not Scorpion Wins distorted, it's clearly another word.

Pause at 2:57, you see something in the middle of the screen after Scorpion beats Sub-Zero. It starts with the D and ends in either G, Q, or O. Also, look at the left side of the screen during the same point of the video. It says "I'M" and then I can't make out the next word. It's directly under the big lettering of "6 hits"

It says Scorpion wins in the High Definition version
Image

Here's what it says in the standard version
Image

Both versions paused at 2:57, obviously this the hidden character reveal. Ed tried to hide it in the Standard Version, that's why you can't start the Standard Version at 2:57, if you try it just fast-forwards to 3:03. It was edited!

I nudged some stuff in photoshop to isolate the text more. I do believe that is a different word than Scorpion Wins, but I've seen compression do all sorts of weird shiz. Wouldn't be surprised if we're chasing our tails on this one.

Can you zoom in more, then clear it up and invert the colors. Maybe that'll help

and btw, there's no way compression turned Scorpion Wins into that, LOL. not at all, that's the hint and it's probably letters mixed up. I just want to make sure we got the right words before we start creating different words.

btw, Ed Boon is a freemason

Compression can really do a lot of things to a video, especially in low quality and where there are defined color borders.

However, have you guys look in the dark area of Goro's Lair. There are two silhouettes there. The first one looks kind of like Kano, while the second one is some type of a monster, probably a background Oni. This, in case my eyes are not lying to me.

Don't know about this, but look in the dark at Goro's Lair. There are two silhouettes. One looks like Kano, the other one like an Oni background character.

idk man, How is it gonna distort that bad? "Scorpion Wins" is seriously gonna distort that bad while everything isn't as distorted? Doesn't add up, plus, on HD you can select at any point when you wanna start the video. On standard def, you can't start at 2:57, you have to start at 2:33 or 3:03. If you flip the image upside down, it looks a little more clearer, here's an image of the colors isolated upside down and then a regular one of it upside down.

regular upside down

idk, maybe i'm just seeing shit and going crazy. However, the isolated picture upside down kinda looks more like an I X, instead of the word beginning with a D.

i flipped the image vertically, I can't help but think the last 4 letters spell KANO.

To me it looks like DEKANO

Haha, that's funny. Great minds think alike, funny that you flipped it too just now.
