Ta-da, it's a band member of the Village People! Someone at Midway clearly had the bad fashion sense of the 80s on their mind when they designed Hsu Hao; with the exception of the giant chest laser, he'd have fit right in at any nightclub of the period. As was the case with Drahmin, Ed Boon has gone on record since burdening the world with this blight on the eyes as admitting that the character is his least favourite of the entire MK series, so fortunately, you're never going to see him appear ever again. Unless it's as a cruel joke, of course. Did poor Hsu have a unique or fun playstyle at least? Come on, you should know by now, exactly what the answer is going to be. Imagine Kano's heavily modified, laser-spewing cranium were moved to his torso and you've essentially summed-up exactly what Hsu is like to use in combat. Okay, that's it - enough. I've already subjected your eyes to enough pain, you can let them rest now.
