Seeing as he is my favorite character, I took this personally, and decided to take a look at what exactly NetherRealm Studios did wrong, and what they could have changed. He is not the only character to be put in this position, and will certainly not be the last. Noob Saibot is a typical case of wasted potential. What about his encounter with Scorpion? What about the obvious stupidity in Kronika’s logic? What about trying to find recognition? What about attempting to reclaim the honor he lost in life?
A character that was unjustly killed, enslaved, corrupted, killed AGAIN, and then freed was nothing more than a basic minion. The next and final time Bi-Han showed up was just to be beaten by either young Jax or Jacqui. I figured he would be back relatively soon, considering it was only 1 (one) loss. Bi-Han makes an escape, without any sort of extra dialog after the fight. After that, he is swiftly dealt with by either Scorpion or Sub-Zero. The player learns that Bi-Han is promised a new and deadly clan to lead in the New Era. Bi-Han, freed from Quan-Chi’s control after Hanzo Hasashi (Scorpion) beheaded him, decides to look into her offer. Kronika, the “big bad” this time around, employs the service of characters from both the current and past timelines, promising them power and authority in the “New Era”. Even though he looks amazing, the story paints a different picture. While I did not agree with the voice performed by Sean Chiplock at first, it grew on me given the context of Bi-Han’s “death” in MK9. In hindsight, I feel like I should have stayed away, because seeing how everything with Noob turned out just makes me disappointed.Īs previously mentioned, Noob Saibot made a return to the roster in MK11, and has certainly made a splash with his spectacular redesign, hoard of skins and gear, flashy intros, and of course, visceral fatalities. I had regained my love for the franchise, and could not wait to hop back into it. The way Noob looked, sounded and fought it was amazing. It was not just seeing him on the roster that made me giddy, it was hearing Jamieson Price deliver such an incredible performance on him as well. Mortal Kombat 9) and was delightfully surprised to see Noob on the roster. I picked up the Mortal Kombat franchise again back in 2011 with the release of Mortal Kombat (a.k.a. Not all good things last forever, though I eventually grew out of my Dreamcast and forgot all about MK, leaving Noob behind me. The mysterious ninja piqued my interest, and I could not bring myself to even try playing any other character after discovering him. Noob Saibot is a returning fighter in Mortal Kombat 11, and has been a personal favorite for me since finding about him in Mortal Kombat 4 GOLD on my Sega Dreamcast.
