Kung Lao Returning to Mortal Kombat X

Kung Lao Returning to Mortal Kombat X

Kung Lao, the blade hat monk, will be joining the cast of Mortal Kombat X . Recently revealed over the New Year celebration, Kung Lao, will have three different fighting styles keyed to three different fighting game archetypes. His Buzz Saw style involves giving him a variety of projectiles. These projectiles aren’t the best for controlling space, but they have very fast cooldown, making them perfect for keeping pressure on. Tempest style is more defensive, and seeks to work to maintain control.  It involves a variety of spin moves that prevent the opponent from getting close to him. Finally Hat Trick is a style all about controlling space. This style will allow him to throw his hat and allow it to hover in place around the stage. This will give him the ability to, essentially, create no-go zones until he calls his hat back.

Netherrealm also revealed a brand new Factions mode which will allow players to choose factions when fighting on line. Each faction is tied to a character and winning with that character will contribute War Points to that character’s faction. It’s not quite clear what these factions do, but perhaps they will eventually unlock cool aesthetic bonuses like costumes and such.
