Wow, that was a long stream, though they could have revealed much more with that time. There's so much to talk about.

Ermac: So good to see we have him back, and he's looking... cool. That kinda disappointed me, because before him every new character was looking "awesome" to me, not "cool", but there's not really much to complain. Still one of my favorites after all. His face is looking nice, but the rest of his body looks so thin, which is not really a bad thing, just a little shocking. His fatality, the head rip, was also "cool", but I don't think it's as good as the other ones we've seen by now.

As for what's going to happen to him in the story, I hope the good guys can find him and bring them to their side just like in the original timeline. Problem is that Kotal Kahn or Quan Chi can do the same, and so Ermac would become a villain again. That could be annoying, because he never does anything significant as a villain, and always ends up being just another enforcer like Baraka, Kintaro, Reptile...

Kung Lao: We had NRS explaining his variations, which was nice. And his special moves are looking very good too, even the ones that are just coming back from MK 9, save for the "Hat Trick" variation, which I still think is poor. And there's also his fatality: Kung Lao throws the hat on the ground where it spins constantly like a grinder, and then throws the enemy on the ground as well to slice them in a half with the hat (in MK X, only the enemy's head). Like we had never seen he do that before.

Just a note: Tyler, Derek and Paulo mentioned that some character costumes we've seen by now could actually be the alternative ones, not the "main" ones. Kung Lao looks old, but every time he speaks he sounds so young, doesn't he? What if that visual is only his alternative costume, and his main one is his young look?

Kitana and Reptile: Nothing. I just wonder why. Kitana could be still in development stage, and NRS would still be working on her variations and other stuff (only her fatality and the special moves we've seen in that trailer would be ready by now), and that would explain why she wasn't shown this time. As for Reptile, I hope they're working on the graphics for his acid, which didn't look good in his trailer, and the other stuff too, of course.

Sub-Zero: As with Kung Lao, just a small note: Ermac adresses to him as if they already knew each other, and in one of their dialogues, Sub-Zero tells him that "Shao Kahn is dead, you are free now", which implies that this Sub-Zero knew Ermac since before Shao Kahn's death/abduction. Isn't it more probable that he's either Kuai Liang or Bi Han now?

And last but not least, they confirmed that MK X will have a new kind of -ality (like brutALITY, babALITY, multALITY, and of course fatALITY). They said they're liking it. Isn't it awesome?
