A lot of people say he looks kinda like Ken from Street Fighter (which in a way is true to a degree) but he mostly reminds me of Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka's character in the original 1984 Karate Kid).
They're both the best in their classes & they're both very bad assed.
they should put Kobra in mortal kombat 9 as a........practice dummy for the rest of MK 9 Cast, really guys, this "ken" guy is my most favorite dummy for practicing in Mortal Kombat Armageddon
Now you know how it feels to lose Ken Masters! What’s that? You say I got the wrong guy? No way, man! I ain’t stupid! You got the blonde hair, the gloves… Maybe you changed your pants or whatever, but still! I know Ken Masters when I see him! Yeah!
It's sad that Deception, a pretty good MK, was ruined by a plague of unoriginal new characters such as this. Kobra, Ashrah, Darrius, Kira? WTF? where were all the creative minds that came up with good characters like Goro, Sheeva, Motaro, etc.?
@duvalinhn John Tobias and he left during MK4 - any wonder why they've never been able to create any memorable characters after that? Aside from Kenshi - he's still missed
@12ozshark I agree 100%. Tobias was the heart and soul of MK's creativity and they haven't been able to fill that void since he left. This is evident even by MK9. They finally made a game as amazing as the original trilogy, but it's still living off of Tobias' creations. I mean you can find an Ed Boon-type graphic designer anywhere nowadays; you can't find a John Tobias-type creative designer as easily. I hope they can settle their differences and he can revive the franchise some day.
wasn't mortal kombat armageddon created at 2008? then deception/unchained at 2006? so this means before 2008 they are already planing to make the very first mortal kombat that has every character ever made in the while mortal kombat series
I wish they wouldn't have made him...at all. First off even though they say that he's based off of that guy from Karate Kid, put him in red and Ken Masters just entered Mortal Kombat! That and they made his moveset incredibly too easy learn and pickup. Why? Because the AI abuses this fact relentlessly! Say you're playing Deception and he is the person before Noob/Smoke or even one before that! The cheap tactics that he uses to mercilessly butcher you are nothing short of blasphemy!!
@LiquedBlood2 Hmm, true, but why is it that Scorpion...well I don't have nearly as much of a hard time if he's the opponent right before Noob/Smoke. Maybe it's how the AI is set up or something, but needless to say, they could've saved him for a rainy day. To me, he's no better than Mokap.
I strongly hated Kobra at first because he: 1. reminded me of Street Fighter, and I HATE Street Fighter, and 2. we already had a normal karate character in Johnny Cage. However, I've come to hate him less now that he at least has a sword now! lol
lolz every time i kick him off the falling cliffs or something i yell " GO BACK TO STREET FIGHTER WHERE YOU BELONG!" but still he's one of my favorites. :D
When I first played a Mortal Kombat game for a ps2 i meant i played it on sega and ps1 but first one for ps2 i got Mortal Kombat Deception and I always thought Kobra was tha shit i could even relate to him more always fav character bac tha fuck up peeps Kobras mine!
I think Kobra is a asshole because it is said in the MKA ending that when Kira pledge to help him, he takes everything away from her and leaves her in the dumps. He's a 100% jerk!
Huh. Yeah. Too bad that ending didn't happen. In fact I want them BOTH dead. Kobra and Kira. Neither of them should have been introduced in the first place!!!
wait a minet... isn't he the guy from the original karate kid?!
