Upon Xperia's request, I've moved my tweet-based stuff to weekly. So, every week (on a Friday or Saturday), I will post several tweets that interested me and my thoughts. But, if there's a character reveal or a twitch stream or anything like that, you can be damn sure I'll post it as soon as humanly possible.

With that out of the way, let's talk tweets.

First up is a mock-up image of Shao Kahn with Sub Zero's frosty arms. While this isn't anything too major, I thought I'd mention it just because Cyber Sub-Zero was possessed by Shao Kahn in his ending. The connection might be faulty, but it's just a thought. :)

Next, we have a tweet with some fishermen wearing Raiden-esque hats. Ed's response?: "Probably phishing for Liu Kang's chared body :(". Asides from the potential character limit explaining why he spelt charred wrong (which really is a minor thing), the fact that he spelt 'phishing' the way it did kinda made me go "Huh...". For those who don't know what phishing (with the PH) means, Phishing is the attempt to acquire sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details (and sometimes, indirectly, money) by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication. A hacker type character might not fit into MKX, but hiding behind a disguise is certainly an ability many a character can pull off. Some examples from MK include Reptile, Shang Tsung, Quan Chi, and Shinnok. I'm not by any means saying this confirms anyone, but it's still an interesting thing.

Third on the list is a bit of a throwback. You remember the tweet where Ed said "???? Wins.... FATALITY!"? Well, someone thought it was Mokap instead of the usual responses, Kenshi and Ermac. Ed's response? "That's because you think outside the box!" This, again, doesn't mean Mokap is in MKX, but if he is... they better do their damndest to make him badass. And I have an idea as to how: 'Mokap' is his Special Forces codename, and he is able to mimic fighting styles of any character using a certain special move (Like a close-range Shang-Tsung soul steal from MK9) and essentially 'become' that character briefly. It could prove interesting how they make Mokap, if they make Mokap. Which, really, I hope they don't.

That's it for now, tune in next week for more tweets that interested me! As always, thanks for watching!
