This week's Mortal Kombat 1 update brought a surprising addition to the roster: Conan the Barbarian. But the real unexpected guest is a secret fighter – a pink-clad ninja named Floyd! No, it's not a joke; he's a fully playable character.
This enigmatic ninja is clearly a nod to Pink Floyd. His introduction mirrors the iconic Dark Side of the Moon album cover, showcasing a light prism effect. Interestingly, Floyd's moveset is a blend of techniques borrowed from other ninjas, incorporating Sub-Zero's freeze abilities and Scorpion's spear attacks. Adding to the fun, he boasts a quirky 1337 health points.
Long-time fans might experience a sense of familiarity, recalling Reptile, the hidden character in the original Mortal Kombat game. Like Floyd, Reptile was notoriously difficult to defeat and utilized a moveset compiled from other ninjas.
Unlocking Floyd currently appears somewhat random, though he provides clues regarding the necessary challenges. The community is actively working to decipher the exact method to trigger this encounter. A definitive strategy remains elusive.
