This week's Mortal Kombat 1 update brought a surprising addition to the roster: Conan the Barbarian. But the real head-turner is an unannounced secret fighter – a pink-clad ninja named Floyd! No, it's not a joke; he's a fully playable character.
Floyd is a clear nod to Pink Floyd, his introduction mirroring the band's iconic Dark Side of the Moon album cover, showcasing a light prism effect. Interestingly, his moveset is a blend of other ninjas' techniques, borrowing Sub-Zero's freeze and Scorpion's spear attacks. He also boasts a quirky 1337 health points.
This secret character evokes memories of Reptile, the hidden fighter in the original Mortal Kombat game. Like Reptile, Floyd's moves are a compilation of existing ninja abilities, making him a unique, albeit derivative, addition.
Unlocking Floyd currently appears random, though he offers clues to required in-game challenges. The community is actively working to decipher the exact method, but a definitive solution remains elusive.
