With Mortal Kombat X’s April release rapidly approaching, fans are looking for tidbits of unrevealed information anywhere they can, from mysterious retailer listings to the on-going comic book series. While many times these details end up being shoved into the light earlier than anticipated, some can be debunked with just a tiny bit of research.

Such is the case with a rumor that landed online this morning positing the upcoming title may include a mode that allowed players to pick a team of three characters, much like SNK Playmore’s King of Fighters series.

This speculation was fueled by, of all places, the official rules for this year’s Evolution Championship Series event. Funny enough, the bare minimum amount of digging shows that the same exact wording was used for King of Fighters XIII’s guidelines last year.

These reports caught the eye of hopeful contender Carl “Perfect Legend” White, who reached out to folks involved with the tournament (namely Tom “inkblot” Cannon, Tony “Pond3r” Cannon, and Joey “Mr. Wizard” Cuellar) about whether or not this was legitimate. During this time, we also got in contact with Cuellar, who relayed to us a very similar answer to the one he gave White.

They were leftover rules from King of Fighters XIII. Nothing to see here!
