Meet Floyd: Mortal Kombat 1’s hidden pink ninja explained

BBG News

Here is everything you need to know about Mortal Kombat’s pink ninja – Floyd!

Since the debut of Mortal Kombat in 1992, iconic characters like Scorpion, Sub-Zero, and Reptile have been a mainstay, with additional ninjas joining over the years such as Smoke, Noob Saibot, Ermac, Rain, Tremor, and Chameleon. But it’s a new, pink-clad ninja named Floyd who has given Mortal Kombat 1 a fresh lease on life. Here’s everything you need to know about this hidden combatant.

Who is Floyd in Mortal Kombat 1?

In a similar fashion to how Rain, the purple-clad ninja character, is a tribute to Prince’s album “Purple Rain,” there’s a pink-colored ninja named Floyd who pays homage to Pink Floyd. The creators of Mortal Kombat have hinted at this character for some time, leaving fans in anticipation and excitement. After the unveiling of Conan the Barbarian, the secretive pink ninja Floyd has now officially appeared in Mortal Kombat 1.

Data collectors managed to find assets connected to this character following the latest update, despite assuming that NetherRealm Studios (NRS) had completely abandoned the concept. Now, gamers are embarking on a puzzling and enigmatic quest to meet this character. If you manage to defeat them, you’ll gain access to a new stage and the right to boast about your achievement extensively.

Gameplay-wise, Floyd resembles Chameleon as he is originally from the Mortal Kombat timeline. He incorporates moves from various alternate color ninja characters such as Reptile, Ermac, Rain, Noob Saibot, Sub-Zero, and Scorpion.

Floyd plays like Chameleon, taking moves from different versions of the ninjas like Reptile, Ermac, Rain, Noob Saibot, Sub-Zero, and Scorpion.

How do you fight the new pink ninja?

The query you pose is somewhat ambiguous as it’s unclear which ‘fight’ or ‘Floyd’ you are referring to. Nevertheless, let me share some information: The data miner known as thethiny has been consistently updating a Google Spreadsheet containing various clues that might potentially lead to an interaction with a character called Floyd. However, it should be noted that the exact sequence for activating this encounter remains uncertain due to its complex nature and lack of definitive knowledge on the subject.

As a gamer, I’ve stumbled upon a challenge with 37 cryptic clues, nodding towards ‘The Many Faces of Pink Floyd.’ Not all outcomes are crystal clear, but some tasks are defined. For instance, to conquer “Total Disrespect,” you must taunt your opponent four times in a single Mortal Kombat 1 battle without throwing a punch. Once the match is over, a “Floyd” notification will flash on screen, accompanied by a guitar riff, just like the one you see here.

Please follow the suggestions provided on the Google Sheet. However, please keep in mind that not all challenges may be suitable for each player.
