The “Palette Swap Ninjas” such as Scorpion and Sub-Zero are crucial to the success of Mortal Kombat, and occasionally, NetherRealm adds a fresh ninja character with unique abilities to the series.
The PlayStation Network characters span a variety of colors, including yellow (Scorpion) and orange (Tremor. In the latest update for ‘Mortal Kombat 1’, a fresh pink ninja character called Floyd has been added to the roster.
Who is Floyd in Mortal Kombat 1?
Floyd in Mortal Kombat 1 is a hidden character who will invite players to battle if they successfully complete various tasks. His name is connected to Pink Floyd, a band, which aligns well with other characters in the game whose names have unique connections. For instance, Rain’s name stems from Prince’s album “Purple Rain,” and Noob Saibot is derived from the reversed names of the game developers, Ed Boon and John Tobias.
Similar to previous characters, Floyd bears a resemblance to Scorpion, but with a pink color scheme instead. He also exhibits combat abilities similar to the Chameleon during fights. It’s important to note that Floyd is not a character that can be unlocked within the game. The only reason videos of his gameplay have been circulating online is due to modifications made to the original game.
Reptile in the Original Mortal Kombat
The search for Floyd is reminiscent of the first “Mortal Kombat” game, where Reptile was a hidden character. Gamers would engage in intricate Easter egg hunts within the game to attempt to trigger a battle with Reptile, who at that time lacked the reptilian abilities he later gained in subsequent games.
True to the style of “Mortal Kombat”, developers have given players the task of finding Floyd on their own, and various spreadsheets (from @thethiny) have been created to outline the challenges required to summon Floyd within the game. It appears that these challenges change daily for each player, and there seems to be a limit on the number of challenges a player can complete in one day.
Players need not conquer all 37 levels to engage in the boss battle with Floyd. Interestingly, 37 mirrors the number of tracks on the iconic album “The Many Faces of Pink Floyd,” another nod to the legendary band.
Beating Floyd
As a gamer, I’ve found out that taking down Floyd isn’t a walk in the park – one round, and it’s game over for me. But the good news is, I can always give it another go with him. Since he’s swift on his feet and built like a tank, they say patience is the name of the game in this boss battle. So my strategy is to keep dodging his attacks and countering with a quick combo. After that, back to blocking again, rinse and repeat!
In summary, while it’s impossible to make Floyd a playable character, overcoming him will open up the stage for the battle against him, as well as granting special cosmetic items such as Floyd-themed skins for Sub-Zero and Scorpion’s kameos.
As we continue to learn more about Floyd, the guides may undergo modifications to reflect newfound insights.
Mortal Kombat 1 is now available on the Nintendo Switch, PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PS5.
