Yes, they are.

My notes:
Glad to hear Rain confirmed, expecting Cyber-Reptile and a Cyber Sub-zero alt in the Kenshi compatibility pack.

I thought the Cyrax/Sektor costume leaks from youtube were off a developer/partnernet version of the Skarlet DLC.

 

[DasRaven]

The third character reminds me of the Director in tower mode. lol

Director with Stuntman and RuuTuu alt costumes and a full moveset would be all kinds of cool.
Actually, that reminds me, we also have the full-black Noob & classic smoke ninja alts that could be unlocked as well.

 

[notworksafe]

Is it just me, or does the last DLC character teased there seem like it could be a "joke" character? I know it's just a shadow, but something about it seems off.

Joke character? No, they already announced Rain.

 

[GeorgioCostanzaX]

Joke character? No, they already announced Rain.

Frost? I can't stand Cyber Sub's playstyle and hope to god human sub zero is still in the sequel.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Joke character? No, they already announced Rain.

Cold.

Purrrple Raaaaaaaaain! Puuuurrple Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain!

 

[notworksafe]

As far as who the last character is, I'm guessing it's probably Shinnok. I'd prefer Havik, Li Mei, or Hotaru but I think all of them have been deconfirmed by Boon.

For costumes if we're getting two for each of the remaining three characters, I'd like Sonya + Kano, Cyber Smoke + Cyber Reptile, and Stryker + Kabal.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

With that silhouette? Director orrrrr Middle age salaryman Johnny Cage.

I'm thinking it's just a placeholder image and not meant to be indicative of the actual shape of the new character.

In that case... REIKO!

 

[clockpunk]

I'm desperate for Frost to see release as a DLC character... she seems like an ideal platform, with Sub Zero being... developed... as he is. Faster, with the Ice Puddle move, and another that might cause an opponent to be unable to move (but still strike/defend in one direction for a limited period of time), and any number of ice attacks that Sub Zero wasn't granted during this iteration. That would make me a happy gamer.

 

[Mileena]

Chameleon plz

I don't want no characters for MK4 and later. Those games are poop.

 

[HeresSomeWeapons]

Stilllllll waiting to hear that we're getting Cyborg Smoke. And with his MK3 costume.

Also, I'd bet that future DLC "Compatability Packs" are gonna give us classic Smoke and Noob. Let's hope so, anyway.

 

[MoonsaultSlayer]

I'm hoping for paid, premium alts for existing characters. That human Reptile concept, for one.

 

[akilshohen]

Haven't they already animated Frost fighting? Isn't she in one of the background fighting?

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Where?

 

[Big One]

Guessing third character will be

Spoiler

Fujin

his announcer data is already in the game.

 

[Slamtastic]

I'm assuming the other character will be Fujin.

Because we've already heard the game announcer say his name in the leaked DLC vids (With the MK3 classics).

edit: damn you

 

[GrayFoxPL]

He better get that knee from mk 4.

 

[fernoca]

Haven't they already animated Frost fighting? Isn't she in one of the background fighting?

Character-models in the background are not as fully developed as the rest. The Frost fighting in Th Pit (background) is just a skin, for random characters that appear there.

 

[Kweh]

So, I still haven't had a prompt to patch my PS3 version. Is it just out in America or something?

 

[Struct09]

Boon pretty much confirmed that we won't be seeing Fujin


http://twitter.com/noobde/status/67240465090613248

RT @KabalandStryker @noobde I really hope Fujin gets a really good fatilty in mk9 Noobde: Fujin is not in MK9.

http://twitter.com/Kaiser499/status/67240749737050115

@noobde Fujin was found on the MK disc, his name even gets announced by the announcer.

http://twitter.com/noobde/status/67241748056903680

RT @Kaiser499 @noobde Fujin in MK: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRrzi5ndp1o Noobde: Come back in a year and tell me Fujin is in the game.

 

[Slamtastic]

I don't trust what fighting game producers say on twitter anymore.

I've been flat out directly lied to too many times.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

If Boon was a real troll he'd gave us Kobra.

 

[Slamtastic]

I wish.

 

[Mileena]

You don't want the patch. It makes the online (even more) unplayable.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

I wish.

Me 2.

"Ken? I'll give you Ken."

His x-ray would be: "Sweep the leg."

[GrayFoxPL]

EXTASY!!!

 

[Struct09]

It would be cool if they gave CSZ the classic cyborg outfit too

 

[The Lamonster]

New one, from next week's "free-preview pack".

Hotness. Can't wait to see what else they're giving us

 

[fernoca]

Well, as usual Twitter ends been a relatively good source for news and updates.

Basically they're working on a fix for the latest patch on the PS3, and it seems that the problem is tied to anything related to DLC (i.e having/selecting the retro costumes, and Kratos -which uses a DLC slot-).

No confirmation if that's the reason as to why it hasn't been released on Xbox Live and a few PSN-regions haven't gotten the patch yet; but at least it's something.

 

[Xevren]

No idea if it's just me, but I've been playing online for the past few hours and I have had 0 desyncs or disconnects. Had some rage quitters, but that's not the game's fault.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

I would like the new character to be Frost.

 

[Lambtron]

400 points for the costume packs? I'm glad I sold my Sub Zero code for $45.

 

[GhostRidah]

??? is boon himself.

 

[Seraphis Cain]

??? is boon himself.

I was actually thinking that myself. :lol

Wow, kinda pissed I just came back to this game tonight only to see all the dlc and extra characters coming and yet they still haven't fixed the fucking lag. I wish they'd fix the lag, I really love this game.

I had 1 out of 8 matches tonight. I think the problems are sorting themselves out.

Not playing or practicing this game for 4-5 weeks really made me suck at it

 

[Diablohead]

dat rain! awesome to hear he is finally official.

Nice mk3 robots too but I am more of a person who grew up with mk 1 and 2 so to me it's just a nice extra compared to the awesomesauce klassic costumes, props to neverrealm for giving them away for free instead of like 240 msp or something.

Anyone know if the 360 patch hit today?

OH YEAH bitches just booted up my game on 360 and i'm prompted to a 3mb patch.
