The genius behind sub zero's voice

The part when Ed Boon say there is some people who come too approach him about adding their character as a guest in MK - as far as I know, the devs behind Doom game was alright if MK want Doom Slayer in their game. Someone, I forgot whether it was the director himself or producer, state this on twitter and Ed Boon jokingly reply - "he is too violent for MK". And then we have Bayonetta, and this is the creator of the game himself want her to be in MK since MK11, and guess what he even tweet again when MK1 was announced that he still want to see Bayonetta in MK. I really-really hope Ed Boon and his team consider this, because imo a video games characters is a lot better to appear as guest in MK compare to all this movies characters. I know for sure people will love it as well. So far we only got Kratos as a video games character in MK.

Awesome interview thanks for sharing, so much insight! As for my guess for the T-1000 animality, ohh hey there’s things from the T2 universe. I remember seeing cut ideas/artwork from T2 like I remember a spider tank. So? Uhmm the T-1000 can morph but idk could be something they do? We will see but they do love to give nods, to those who are big fans of these guests.

Thats a good guess! Can't wait to see what the release is.

2:40 Sektor is already part of Erika. :D I have to treasure this moment. It's great to have Sektor back ❤

Very easy to gender swap a male character to a female but the reverse can never happen, hypocrites, cowards, how about a male jade called Jake with the staff and all and a male Sonia called Sam....
