Tanya's weapon is a three-section staff or triple staff. It's almost like a nunchuk but with three sections instead of two. According to wikipedia, they're known as sanjiegun in China or sansetsukon in Japan.
I remember seeing this kind of weapon from watching that Jackie Chan movie Shanghai Noon where the weapon is built like bo staff but turns into 3 prong nunchaku which was really fascinating.
I absolutely loved Li Mei in the trailer and I always wanted her. My favorite female character for sure but anyways. Tanya was awesome but I was a bit disappointed that they took the Kobu Tzutsu's out of her kit but it's ok. Darrius is a Kameo and also our first Orderrealm character in over a decade. Lastly, Mileena with a normal mouth is hot.
5:41 anybody else noticed Raiden holding onto his amulet? I've seen it disappear and reappear frame by frame in the gameplay trailer many times. But always assumed it might be a clipping issue- but no! it's detachable! and it looks like it's his source for his lightning powers!
It seems different but that’s definitely the first thing that came to mind when I saw the sectioned weapon. 36th had one of my favorite training montages.
Aside from being humiliated in mkx, NRS Baraka is one of my new favorites I love what they’ve done with him in mk11 and I’m excited for what they’re doing here!
I’m actually just happy he has a cool design in this just cos imo his other designs are just like a plain white shirt that I find kinda dull but this looks so so sick just with a few slight tweaks
I definitely like that they've given him more personality and story in MK11 and MK1. The whole "he's an evil ugly jobber, i dunno, that's it" thing was wearing thin.
The 'cutscene' with Khameleon looks like one right before a fight. Li mei looks like she has Liu Kang as a kameo and Tanya has Khameleon. Look at the way the scene plays out and they way they're standing. Notice they never showed the kameos in that fight. I hope this confirms Zaterrans and Reptile/Syzoth
I remember reading that when the team was designing Darrius they were going for the 60s/70s superhero aesthetic. In hi-fidelity I can see the similarities to early Blade pre-leather jacket.
The start of Baraka's segment has him do the overhead hop kick off the ground, but it looks like he could be in a stance. With his blades in the ground and on one knee, it could be a stance he uses and he went for the overhead option. Seems interesting.
She looks like Jada Smith lol. But hey its nice to have older/unique body tyoe characters in fighting games, less ur bo rai cho or shunjinko ur probably gonna be an 50 year old fit dude at most.
Havent see anyone else notice it but Tonya is definitely inspired by the Dora Milage from Black Panther. From the headpiece to her coming from a noble tribe of women that protect the throne. To her new weapon that’s a staff that can split in to 2 smaller pieces just like BP2
The weapon Tanya is using is called the sansetsukon which is 3 sectional staff like nunchaku. What I love about Mortal Kombat/NRS itself is that they're able to bring creative weapons from parts of world and use it in these games, like in MK11 we see Rain's weapon called the Jamadhar which is a katar weapon from an Indian continent & Kano's elbow blades from MKX.
Glad to see Li Mei back as a playable character since Armageddon. Khameleon's appearance in the cutscene and Darrius' Kameo were a huge surprise. There are only 10 main fighters and 4 Kameo fighters in the roster left that are unknown to the audience. Based on the footage from SDCC, I expect Reiko to be playable, Motaro to be a Kameo and hopefully Khameleon will be either a playable or Kameo fighter as well. Stil hoping to see my man Reptile back on the roster soon. They can't leave him out for 2 MK games!
So I noticed Tanya has like, a weird Halo behind her head at times, I wonder what that means for her gameplay wise? Also neat detail, you can see Baraka's blades still inside Tanya's body after Baraka sticks them in her.
So what if Baraka is actually mileena and Kitana's father. So kingdom just lied and said he died. It could also give reason why mileena has the disease.
"What was that? That was like a whole string that started from chop chop." That was literally MKX aliens BF+2 special with the rackas (however that's spelled)
My favorite thing is when Ketchup & Mustard put on the tin foil hat its always such fun ideas. I freaking love the idea of Baraka in this timeline being an infected Kano of some kind. And it would make sense in terms of Kano spending a lot of time in Outworld if Tarkat is some sort of Outworld disease. But also!!! Khameleon!!! Ahhhhhh!!!!
Tanya’s staff reminds me of those old Shaolin staffs and amusingly enough, Dante’s triple nunchuck from DMC5 where it could turn into a staff via SwordMaster
The roster is looking amazing! Li Mei and Tanya look great, and Baraka was a pleasant surprise. Darrius was definitely a surprise. Not the best 3D-era character, but I'm glad they're bringing those "not-so-great" characters as Kameos. Give them a new chance. Now, all I need is Ashrah. If I get here, I can crown this the best MK ever 😄
after K&M said Baraka possibly looked like Kano afflicted with the Tarkat disease, I couldn’t see anything else. if you stare at Baraka’s eyes, it almost looks like a modified profile of Kano’s MK11 face, especially the eyes. pay attention to the eyes. also looks like they kept Li Mei’s face model from the MKX story. kind of cool how NRS is reusing the faces that worked, and remaking characters when the need is there (like Tanya).
It not Kano, Kano is a kameo but he could also be on the roster because must those kameos are actually on the roster they just haven’t shown them, but this is just Baraka
Khameleon being in the same colours as Tanya during what seems to be a cutscene is interesting - is she also a member of the Umgadi in this story? Super hyped for Li Mei, she might be my favourite 3D era character. Her fatality is phenomenal. Lots of people have been complaining that they totally changed Tanya's face, but to be honest her face is actually fairly similar to her MK4/3D era ppearance. It just looks more different than it actually is due to her having different hair and clothes, no facepaint, serious expressions instead of her usual smug smirk, and no white eyes as we've grown used to. Really liking the potential for Baraka's story here. I'm here for face Baraka, especially after his semi face turn in Aftermath. Obviously the characters are getting all the attention and rightly so, but I'm also really liking all the stages shown so far.
Baraka also has a big scar near his heart, could be because of the cybernetic heart of Kano. Also, the blades never retract into his arms, looks like they are fixed. And it looks like Tanya and Rain are the backstabbing Edinians once more and maybe are the ones who infected Meleena.
This trailer surprised me, basically all 3 characters that I love playing as the most are in: Johnny, Raiden and now Baraka. Also, Li mei looks like my type of character. Seriously, this roster is already packed with goodness, and we still have 10+ characters to be revealed, at least that's what we all think.
Baraka extends his arm blades to perform the jump at the start of his demo, then has a distinct visual effect on his arm blade attacks. This seems like a new mechanical approach to Baraka, similar to his weapon stance in 3DMK. I'd love to see special moves granting characters buffs, such as Reptile's and Smoke's invisibility.
I'm really hoping Khameleon is more than just a Kameo fighter. She's been missing in action since Armageddon. Happy that Li Mei is back. Seriously, I think she was only playable in two games...
@@theonewhowrotethis5681 Well, that's something at least. Khameleon has always been the character that has the special moves of other characters and was never unique on her own. Maybe this time, Khamleon will have something unique to her.
Tarkatans went from being the jobbers of the mk world, to now being a disease. They just keep taking L’s. Liu Kang must have been listening too much to Kotal. Pretty sure he called them a disease, at least at one point or another
Being a baraka fan feels like I just watched NRS shoot baraka in the leg by making his character into a one dimensional disease villain instead of keeping the layer filled jobber role of him being a very respectable tarkatan who really just wants his people to have equal rights. Probably the first L so far I've seen from this game and it hella frustrates me
@@VirginStarrrrr pouring one at rn for all the Baraka fans, y’all never get any w’s but are still loyal. Mad respectable. At least he looks decent in this game instead of low tier (that being based off of one clip)
@@BobTheReaperHe was already a tragic monster so the change is unnecessary, they stripped Tarkatans of their culture entirely to make them generic zombies.
I’m definitely having multiple mains and maybe this game is giving off these vibes. I wanted someone with straight hands and li mei is showing that very thing. Can’t wait to play this game and the kombat pack Omggggg take my money
I'm getting real hyped for this game now! Never expected Darrius to be in but I'm glad he's a Kameo. Also glad to have Li Mei back along with Tanya and Baraka.
Am I the only one that noticed barraka special cancel special moves twice. I swear he did chop chop blades into that restanding combo and that air blade spin into the like ground pound thing. Is he gonna have a thing like cages superstar meter?
Did anyone notice that if that is Khameleon, she was in Tanya Form? You know how Male Chameleon can turn into all the male ninjas. Female Khameleon can turn into all the female characters. Well at least most of them I think? Because it looks like she was in Tanya form which was pretty cool!
I think she is wearing yellow because she is umgandi, and they are all wearing yellow bc Tanya is their leader. Or maybe there are sub-factions inside the umgandi. So perhaps they will have green-team loyal to Jade.
I do think baraka's blades come out of him, probably just a design choice like in mk9, if I'm not mistaken he also had metal blades in mk11, just not the default ones.
every reactor screams «yo is that Li Mei?» at the same point in the trailer, but here it's especially funny cause you get 2 twins saying it almost in unison, like an echo.
Khameleon is definitely confirmed qnd i have a theory why. In that shot with her I believe that they are about to fight because there is two fighters on each side (lei mei main, liu kang kameo: tanga main, khameleon kameo) plus it looks as if they are lined up to fight. I suppose this would also confirm liu kang as a kameo too
Goros kameo stomp is def unblockable. Watched it in slow mo and it looks like Baraka was still in block stun after blocking Lei Mei projectile and stomp still hit. Smh that's ganna be broken lol
The reveals are going hard omg. Watched the dlc characters reveal and now this trailer. The roster is going to be in-sane. Only one thing makes me sad tho...I fear they are going to relegate Kenshi back to an obscure side character and I hate that so much. Please Netherrealm Studios, please don't send Kenshi back to the sidelines. He deserves his place(storymode). With that said I am so excited for the rest of the roster and drop. I love Li Mei design and moves, love Tanya's voice acting and moves, and Baraka...I have always loved Baraka. His moves are absolutely insane, going beast mode on them. So ready for his gameplay. Anyway, thanks for this and have a good one
I FUCKING KNOW RIGHT? I mean she's right fucking there behind Tanya and nobody noticed her until smart people pointed her out. She's even using her Armageddon design (just in yellow)
@@MightyKombat yes she probably has the color of the Charakter you use so when reptile is green khameleon is probably green but i just assume it And i mean she is khameleon so it worked she was alomst invisible 😅 To be fair if you looking for everything yoi can miss something but khameleon was almost bigger than tanya 😅😂
The weapon that Tanya has is called three-section staff, AKA sansetsukon. As for Baraka, I think that his Kano-like elements are a reference nod to Richard Divizio, both Baraka and Kano are still separated chars. And regarding Khameleon, if it is indeed her (and I don't think it's her), she doesn't seem to be playable as a main character, although she is extremely likely to be a DLC Kameo.
@@erdood3235Divizio is the longest serving of the live action actors in the early MK games. He's played Kano, Baraka, Kabal, Quan Chi and Shang Tsung (his Shang Tsung won't pass the politically correct era nowadays).
Fuckin Darrius is in this game… it’s crazy. Now if Boon and Netherealm weren’t cowards they’d add Hsu Hao as a cameo. Edit: actually…. What if Hsu Hao is Baraka?
Tanya is so different, she should've just been a new character. She has a new look obviously, but she also seems to have a new personality, a new set of powers, and a new weapon. This character looks awesome, don't get me wrong. I just feel like they missed the opportunity to have a standout NEW character. Call her "Dolaje" since she was clearly inspired by Wakanda's Dora-Milaje.
Baraka is stated to be a former merchant but they specifically mention him being from outworld, so while the idea of him being kano is funny, it's unlikely
@@pious83 Frost was supposed to be a ''new generation'' character. She downright had the same moves as Sub-Zero, like Jin Kazama being basically Kazuya but with bangs in Tekken 3. And even then she was kinda boring. Li Mei downright didn't have anything of her own, and didn't have a reason to be that uninteresting
@@Truejota When has NRS cared about wasted slots? This game has *TWO* "what if superman was evil" characters as DLC. At least Darrius would be from Mortal Kombat.
I’ll miss Tanya’s bob and white eyes, but to be honest? I REALLY like her redesign! There aren’t that many older-looking women in fighting games. Her golden VFX looks beautiful, too.
Tanya's weapon is a three-section staff or triple staff. It's almost like a nunchuk but with three sections instead of two. According to wikipedia, they're known as sanjiegun in China or sansetsukon in Japan.

@@akilcharles3473 I think I remember one of the goons in the Jackie Chan Adventures cartoon using the weapon too!
Mhm. I'm happy to see the three-section at work.
One of the bosses in Sifu uses a three section staff, but with blades on the ends
Definitely Khamelion. The outfit is a 1 to 1 with her Armageddon one. Which means she is probably a Kameo.
I believe that Amazon leak said that she would be a DLC Kameo in the first pass, so that would make sense for her to use her Armageddon design.
I absolutely loved Li Mei in the trailer and I always wanted her. My favorite female character for sure but anyways. Tanya was awesome but I was a bit disappointed that they took the Kobu Tzutsu's out of her kit but it's ok. Darrius is a Kameo and also our first Orderrealm character in over a decade.

with tarkatan mouth even hotter
I hope Li Mei still has some of her signature attacks from the Deadly Alliance Trilogy. Her Klock Kick and Flying Fists would be fun to see.
@@etlttc353a man of taste
If they do Order realm I'd rather have Hotaru the firefly.
@@lonewander6772 Me too. Who wouldn't agree? If we have Havik, I want Hotaru as well.
Darrius is an Orderrealm revolutionary fighter so this could possibly open the doors for Hotaru and Havik
5:41 anybody else noticed Raiden holding onto his amulet?
I've seen it disappear and reappear frame by frame in the gameplay trailer many times. But always assumed it might be a clipping issue-
but no! it's detachable! and it looks like it's his source for his lightning powers!
Oh! Nice catch!
After this SDCC reveal trailer I can’t wait to see what EVO has in store next weekend
Have they confirmed Evo will have a reveal?
@@idiotwithanopinion8082 nothings confirmed
Hopefully Nitara
11:20 The weapon is similar to the Three Section Staff. Also known as Coiling Dragon Staff. I first saw it in the movie "The 36th Chamber of Shaolin"
It seems different but that’s definitely the first thing that came to mind when I saw the sectioned weapon. 36th had one of my favorite training montages.

@trebeezy16 hope so especially on the reptile part
Barakas character bio actually says he’s a merchant afflicted with the disease. So could’ve definitely been Kano wheeling and dealing.
What does "Kano wheeling and dealing" mean?
I can't find the new characters bios on the website. Where did u find the bios.
@@B1g_B0sssss some of them are first posted on discord or Instagram
@@erdood3235It’s just a funky expression to mean someone going around selling stuff

You are definitely right, good eye
Predictions:
1. The Tarkat disease was made by Havik.
2. General Shao will turnout to be Reiko. (if you know, you know)
I had never thought about them mixing Shao and Reiko into one for this game. But that would be really cool.
@@davicarvalho124 There was a time when people thought they were because of Reiko's MK4 ending.
Pls no… I hate fake shao Kahn…..
@@A_mir0_0 You do know your MK lore with Reiko, right?
My second prediction has now proven false with this leak: ruclips.net/video/OisMtr_73JU/видео.html
13:05 To answer your question, the blades are coming out of him because if you look closely, every time Baraka uses them blood comes out! :)
2:00 Damn bros Crimson Chin is in!
Constant enthusiasm, and then the silence with the Tanya face reveal.
Me too dude. Me too. 😂
"Well there is Tanya"
Yup...she sure is here...
she looks like madonna after all the plastic surgeries.
Yeah they need to fix that or have a really good klassic skin available on launch to unlock
She looks like Jada Smith lol.
But hey its nice to have older/unique body tyoe characters in fighting games, less ur bo rai cho or shunjinko ur probably gonna be an 50 year old fit dude at most.
Havent see anyone else notice it but Tonya is definitely inspired by the Dora Milage from Black Panther. From the headpiece to her coming from a noble tribe of women that protect the throne. To her new weapon that’s a staff that can split in to 2 smaller pieces just like BP2
Yeah, I said this on Twitter, the 1st story reveal trailer.
You sure it wasn't the Dahomey as the inspiration?
@@jeggsonvohees2201 it’s definitely possible .. mean I’m sure the Dora could of drawn Inspiration from them, everyone gets inspiration from somewhere.
@ashtoncoulter1950 I justbfindbit hilarious that the Dora are based on an African Kingdom that ran on enslaving everyone else and selling them.
She traded her Dora the explorer wig for Dora Milaje
The weapon Tanya is using is called the sansetsukon which is 3 sectional staff like nunchaku. What I love about Mortal Kombat/NRS itself is that they're able to bring creative weapons from parts of world and use it in these games, like in MK11 we see Rain's weapon called the Jamadhar which is a katar weapon from an Indian continent & Kano's elbow blades from MKX.
The realization that hit when she was revealed to be Li Mei man 🥹
Glad to see Li Mei back as a playable character since Armageddon. Khameleon's appearance in the cutscene and Darrius' Kameo were a huge surprise. There are only 10 main fighters and 4 Kameo fighters in the roster left that are unknown to the audience.

Stil hoping to see my man Reptile back on the roster soon. They can't leave him out for 2 MK games!
Reiko and Motaro are playable
As a wise man once said...
"Top Tanyer"
This was so hype to watch live, I waited to take my lunch way late just to catch it live with you guys haha.
So I noticed Tanya has like, a weird Halo behind her head at times, I wonder what that means for her gameplay wise? Also neat detail, you can see Baraka's blades still inside Tanya's body after Baraka sticks them in her.
So what if Baraka is actually mileena and Kitana's father. So kingdom just lied and said he died. It could also give reason why mileena has the disease.
That theory about Kano becoming Baraka in this timeline is blowing my mind
Which would kind of be full circle IRL since Kano's actor played Barak's in MK2
"What was that? That was like a whole string that started from chop chop." That was literally MKX aliens BF+2 special with the rackas (however that's spelled)
I was shocked and happy to see Li Mei back in action and she looks so beautiful too OMG
Tanya’s new weapon. Is a magical 3 section Chuck that can tighten to turn into a staff or completely compress to turn into a single escrima stick 👊🏽
I fcking love Baraka's animations. It's so fluidly, savagely, roaringly violent!
9:21 In gymnastic terms, the proper name would be 'aerial front walkover'
My favorite thing is when Ketchup & Mustard put on the tin foil hat its always such fun ideas. I freaking love the idea of Baraka in this timeline being an infected Kano of some kind.

Rain also got Jobbed in his own trailer
Tanya looks like her mk4 version.
Goros kameo stomp is def unblockable. Watched it in slow mo and it looks like Baraka was still in block stun after blocking Lei Mei projectile and stomp still hit. Smh that's ganna be broken lol
The reveals are going hard omg. Watched the dlc characters reveal and now this trailer. The roster is going to be in-sane. Only one thing makes me sad tho...I fear they are going to relegate Kenshi back to an obscure side character and I hate that so much. Please Netherrealm Studios, please don't send Kenshi back to the sidelines. He deserves his place(storymode). With that said I am so excited for the rest of the roster and drop. I love Li Mei design and moves, love Tanya's voice acting and moves, and Baraka...I have always loved Baraka. His moves are absolutely insane, going beast mode on them. So ready for his gameplay. Anyway, thanks for this and have a good one
Its insane how almost nobody talked about khameleon 😅
At that point i knew that the amazon thing was real 😅😀
I
FUCKING
KNOW RIGHT?
I mean she's right fucking there behind Tanya and nobody noticed her until smart people pointed her out. She's even using her Armageddon design (just in yellow)
@@MightyKombat yes she probably has the color of the Charakter you use so when reptile is green khameleon is probably green but i just assume it
And i mean she is khameleon so it worked she was alomst invisible 😅
To be fair if you looking for everything yoi can miss something but khameleon was almost bigger than tanya 😅😂
The weapon that Tanya has is called three-section staff, AKA sansetsukon. As for Baraka, I think that his Kano-like elements are a reference nod to Richard Divizio, both Baraka and Kano are still separated chars. And regarding Khameleon, if it is indeed her (and I don't think it's her), she doesn't seem to be playable as a main character, although she is extremely likely to be a DLC Kameo.
Why a reference to divizio?
@@erdood3235Divizio is the longest serving of the live action actors in the early MK games. He's played Kano, Baraka, Kabal, Quan Chi and Shang Tsung (his Shang Tsung won't pass the politically correct era nowadays).
Darius looks like Damon John. They should have him do the voice
7:28 savage baraka lit
Reiko and Motaro are in this also..
where?
@@ethanhoh7202 They were in a different trailer, but screenshots are out there.
Fuckin Darrius is in this game… it’s crazy.
Now if Boon and Netherealm weren’t cowards they’d add Hsu Hao as a cameo.
Edit: actually…. What if Hsu Hao is Baraka?
You mean like how you hidden the last line of your comment?
This timeline is weird if Baraka is kano. This would be before his robotic eye.
Tanya is so different, she should've just been a new character. She has a new look obviously, but she also seems to have a new personality, a new set of powers, and a new weapon. This character looks awesome, don't get me wrong. I just feel like they missed the opportunity to have a standout NEW character. Call her "Dolaje" since she was clearly inspired by Wakanda's Dora-Milaje.
Just wait till they see the Kombat Pack!!😫😫😫
It would be cool if Baraka's flurries were actually... Ba-rekkas (I'm here all week folks)
Tanya's weapon is a three-section staff
Li mei's multi punch special is the same thing that kung lao has.
Baraka looking like main material
Baraka looks sick man
Baraka looks like a rekka character
You said you get Kim wo vibes from le Mai and I get Orchid vibes from Tanya.
Kameo Dairou with ambush, unblockable tombstone drop when?
And I want the unpatched Tombstone Drop, maximum griefing
Oh wow everyone is so cool
10:38
Mommy?
All I need is havik and I’m spending my life savings
Baraka is stated to be a former merchant but they specifically mention him being from outworld, so while the idea of him being kano is funny, it's unlikely
With how they made such an uninspired character like Li Mei into something interesting, im looking forward to see more redesigns
Uninspired? You're confusing Li Mei with Frost.
@@pious83mk11 frost imo was very inspired
@@tf6026 From female Sub-Zero to _Discount_ Alisa. Frost has always counted among the most generic tropes of Fighting Games.
@@pious83 Frost was supposed to be a ''new generation'' character. She downright had the same moves as Sub-Zero, like Jin Kazama being basically Kazuya but with bangs in Tekken 3.
And even then she was kinda boring.
Li Mei downright didn't have anything of her own, and didn't have a reason to be that uninteresting
@@pious83 I disagree the way she manipulated her body in mk11 was really creative and her designs were really cool
I wonder if Kano became Baraka
Not Darius getting read!
I really want to see Darrius playable and not just a kameo, I want to see him play with something really unique
It'd be really cool but I doubt it's happening, outside of maybe DLC
He’d be a waisted slot
@@Truejota why would he be a wasted slot
@@Truejota
When has NRS cared about wasted slots? This game has *TWO* "what if superman was evil" characters as DLC. At least Darrius would be from Mortal Kombat.
I better see Fujin real soon
I’ll miss Tanya’s bob and white eyes, but to be honest? I REALLY like her redesign! There aren’t that many older-looking women in fighting games. Her golden VFX looks beautiful, too.
