I have MKDA here and this image is unlockable in the krypt. When I saw it I began to thought "How would be to see him in this game?", then I played MKD XD

Complex? This costume is perfect. Sorry to be a criticizing fan but i'm sure if Tekken used this they would have fit it into the game. Their graphics are killer. Anyways the design is flawless. I love MK!

Sweet concept art! Speaking of concepts and such when will we see that first screen shot for MK9 you were planning to put up Mr. Boon?

- An HD remake of MK Trilogy would be a DREAM come true. PS1 graphics and characters with the N64 gameplay = Too good for words.

Hey Boon, what you think about a bĂ´nus in MK9: a HD version of MK, MK2, MK3, MK TRILOGY or other? Well, you can put, if you have, a image from MK2 poster. The poster with SHAO KAHN! You posted a image from KUNG LAO and behing him have the poster on the wa

It is a pity that he was not in deadly alliance he looks like chinese samurai in that outfit.
I think he had looks good against the other charakters as one of the 2 sword fighters like quan chi.
Was his model complete that you had maybe insert him it in

ThePredator151 1020 days ago

So yea, re-design based on the story element please. Just as well, all characters should allow their stories to either pin point, or dictate what they look & perform like. Let the concept drive it, & the story redefine and define them. Write the story fir

He looks like a Japanese themed bad-guy that is a ranking member of some crime organization. Way the story reads though, he's betrayed by the law he was loyal to, and now does whatever pays him to get by.

ThePredator151 1020 days ago

He's a mercenary now so, he'd probably lack alot of flashy colors, or insignia. Given any cultures thematic appearance btw. Dairou is a rogue, former officer from the OrderRealm....This picture doesn't really speak to that.

ThePredator151 1020 days ago

I'd encourage a re-design here. He looks like one or two too many concepts or themes mixed into one character. Like he represents alot...but he doesn't.

I joined Twitter just to view your current production on MK9. I loved MKDA, MKD, and MKA. Some of the best fighting games I'll tell you what. I love that origianl sketch of Dairou. You and your team have so much talent!! Blow us away with this game.

Nice. I wish his 3D model was more like this in MKD (Slimmer and more eastern like).
