I don't like this "Cyber Noob" idea too. I don't think that turning some of the best characters of the Series into cyborgs would help to create new cool characters. Like everyone already said, Cyber Sub-Zero wasn't a good idea. Turning Sub-Zero into a robot was like giving a fridge some of Cyrax's powers. My theory is that even NRS noticed this: that's why they killed him. They first wanted to see the reaction of the fans. If the fans liked him, they'd get him back in a future game. If not, they'd leave him dead. I guess the only way Cyber Sub-Zero can get back now is a the normal Kuai Liang, since so many people complained about the new character. Would NRS try to make turn another fighter into a robot after this?

Second, and also like everyone already said, we already have Cyrax and Sektor. I don't see what Mortal Kombat would need more robots for. Even the normal Smoke proved being better than the cybernetic one, or at least the MK 9 version of human Smoke did. Just to prove what I'm saying, what were the powers of Cyber Sub-Zero for example? Ice bombs, teleportation, ice beam, ice slide... he already had half of these moves in his human version, and the other half was copied from Cyrax. Cyber-Smoke is in the same situation: his MK 9 version could use every power the Cyber one had, with the exception that his special moves didn't look so much like smoke versions of Cyrax and Sektor's ones (his smoke bombs resembled Cyrax's ones, his teleport in Armageddon resembled Sektor's, you've already got what I'm saying).

In other words, it doesn't seem like NRS can create more robot characters whose powers aren't copies of Cyrax and Sektor's ones. Mustard and Ketchup, what else do we need?

Also, what powers would a Cyber Noob have? Ghost missiles? Shadow bombs? Come on, don't tell me you guys are really looking forward to this.
