Here is something I don't understand though:

Why are people pissed about the way the Xenomorph looks?

If I remember canon correctly, Xenomorphs take on traits of whatever creature they hatch out of.

He looks basically the way they look, he just has Baraka arms because his host was Baraka.

I'm not sure I see what the problem is.
Don't know much about the 'Alien' franchise, but that is an incredible take on Baraka, if that's the angle they're going with.
Pretty good, NRS...
The Tarkatan has a little place in this guys heart 'cause of my deep love for MKII.

I speak truth, no lie
I sorta mentioned, what a shokan xenomorph would look like, prior to the reveal. In a way, i called it. FIRST!

I'm not buying this "leaked video" thing until the official release.
Here are my points:
1) The shades in the first announcement of KP2 doesn't match the figures of the potential new characters (except for bo rai cho and the cyborg)
2) They where planning to release 1 DLC at the time, it was supposed to be announced the first one this night and so on over time. So why making a trailer with all 4 in it? Wouldn't it be more logical for the first character's trailer to be leaked?
3) There is no gameplay in the video, only cinematics. Remember the release trailers of KP1??

If I have to guess, I would say this, this was an on-purpose fake trailer made by NRS just to test reaction of the public.
I'm skeptic about how good as evidence is a video with no gameplay and unexpected random new characters.
Until the official release, nothing has happened for me...

After letting this KP2 sink in for awhile.... Leather Face seems kinda hype. I'd much rather have Shang Tsung or Ash Williams than Leather Face, but if Leather Face will end up being like Zero from Marvel vs Capcom 3.... he will fuck shit up with that chainsaw. He already fucked cheap-ass Ermac up with it.

Well maybe they plan to release all 4 characters this time. as oppose to just 1 a month or whatever, which I think releasing all 4 is waaay better.

Could you post some comparison pictures?

I WILL EAT THIS GAME
1. I feel like there's definitely going to be an eventual KP3 to compete with the future of SFV and whatever other fighters are to come.
2. To me, adding Leatherface makes sense on many levels. A) NRS seems to have no issue becoming known for stapling renowned blood and guts horror characters to their games, and if youre going to own that habit, you may as well pick the most unique one out of the bunch. Which brings me to B) the Chainsaw. Idk about you, but if going berserk on someone with a chainsaw doesnt sound like an MK kind of thing to do, what does? Its a weapon that out of all the crazy shit we've seen over the years in this game - including Armageddon and its 50+ weapons - has never found its way into the fight. And now that's going to change. i love it.
3. People need to lighten up about Bo Rai Cho. Think about who he is in the context of the story: he is THE martial artist. The man who taught all the other men how to fight. The master. Pai Mei. Yoda. The Dude. Yes, he's a fat drunk bastard, because part of his character itself is paying homage to the real and cinematic drunken kung fu masters of the past. It's a persona with a fuck ton of history whose satire is matched only by skill. Let the big man be.
4. I say again, fusing the Xenomorph with Tarkatan DNA to get Baraka AND the Alien in is a touch of fucking genius. Not even as a player, just as a creative person who loves thinking of shit, whoever thought that up deserves a fucking medal.
5. Tri-Borg's going to have his own personality...or maybe none at all. Smoke is Enenra now and Sektor, while only a head, is still Sektor as a head. Which means unless Cyrax's consciousness wove its way in when he was presumably assimilated by this super Tekunin, he's going to be the individual sum of all the Lin Kuei's sins.

That's not a confirmation, just a repetition of what all gaming websites are saying, that the new characters identity were leaked... That's not proof at all, at least not for me.
...it's literally in the first line of the article, dude. Read again.
