Besides Kotal Kahn truly isn't a conquerer like Shao Kahn before him. Just a leader. Hopefully he'll be fun to play with in the upcoming game. Exactly. Well, I think he's more focused of taking care of his own people, the Osh Tekk, than of Outworld in general, but he really doesn't seem to want to keep on conquering realms and slaving their inhabitants, which - considering the other Outworld emperors that came before him - probably makes him the best ruler Outworld has ever had. Probably, because I don't know who was the guy who came before Onaga and Shao Kahn and how he used to reign, if there was any guy at all.

In terms of gameplay, he looks really appellative to be honest, at least his War God and Blood God variations. He gets some really strong attacks with that wood sword, Macuahuilt (sorry if I mispelled it) in War God, and the totens of Blood God also give him so many advantages: increased damage resistance (Onyx toten, I think), increased damage (Crystal toten), recovering health from the enemy's blood (Blood toten). Only one toten can be used at each time, but that still makes him extremely powerful.

Across all variations, he also has that Blood Sacrifice special that boosts his damage a lot. Yeah, it can be used at the same time as the Crystal toten too, and damage will be boosted even more, but even when Blood Sacrifice is used alone he can shave off about 30% of the enemy's health with only 3 hits. Not to mention his "slap uppercut" attack, which seems to be extremely easy to do and throws the opponent in the air instantly, also allowing combos, so it's like "Press Back + Triangle to throw you enemy in the air for a 6+ combo rape".

I wouldn't be surprised if he became the game's sub-boss. He seems to be extremely hard to beat.
