He IS red, maybe the closest we'll get?
Red AND he has a flame thrower (his hand, which throws flames.. lol)..

I'm guessing they're saving the robots for the next game.

My only question is, how much damage does he get off that 5 frame F1? lol.

Makes you wonder what'll combo off it. Maybe just that backhand special? If it were the bicycle kick, that'd nuts. full combo off any 5 frame normal? OUCH!

Probably unlockables or second round dlc!

Yeah.. I'm hoping it is the bicycle kick...

Even if it didn't kombo into MB somehow, bicycle leaves them standing now for 50/50s or pressure so it would be sweet...

What is funny about the MB bicycle kick is that it is outclassed by the fact that the regular version leaves the opponent in a stagger state. I feel like MB a bicycle will only be viable if it leads to significantly greater combo damage. Otherwise just ending a combo with a regular bicycle kick would be better.

Yeah. I agree... if it works that way.

But I'm not sure you kould reground airborne opponents with regular bicycle kick.. And having the option of more damage on hitconfirm is always beneficial.

His Bicycle kick appears to reground because of the actual animation of the move (kinda like MK9 Cage NP) and it appears that it is a standing reset move.

This move could make that entire variation viable and powerful.

b312 certainly was a fun string to use just because it was a great low and it was fun to beat pokes with it (If I remember correctly if you spaced it right you could beat sonya's d4 with it) but it was in no way a signature move haha. I'm sure he will have some awesome strings again whether they are the same or different.

That's what I was hoping for..

Two variations have the bicycle kick so the reground kould be great for either of them.

Fun fact. Kang can do his b31 over and over against quan and it beats all his options other than jump. 8-2 yo

Considering that most of those presenting the game so far cannot into strings, it's even possible that something like b312 is still in - we just haven't seen it.
 
I personally think this new Liu Kang is gonna be even crazier than the MK9 version. He looks super fast and even has a 5 frame normal. I'm gonna destroy opponents with Kang. The only thing I hate is his gay stance!

Nice to see you here Jimmy! :)
I hate his non jeet kune do stance as well. And I also kind of dislike his thick thighs and upper body. His and Cage's costumes make them look a little bit chubby.
Are you going to make YouTube videos as well in the future?
I really enjoyed your commenting back in the MK9 days...

Yup he should have that Marshall Law, Fei Long ready to strike at any time jeet kun do stance. Had me SUPER disappoint.

It's not in blocking it, it's the execution. No skill required whatsoever, made Liu Kang looks less impressive.
liu's impressiveness didn't come from his combos, but his pressure and every important string of his being + on block.

If we are going to talk petty shit like execution of most combos in MK9, it's at least worth noting that just because Liu's combos had loops doesn't mean they were easiest in the game.
