Game developer NetherRealm Studios is taking its sweet time in introducing the new characters to be included in its upcoming Kombat Pack 2 DLC for "Mortal Kombat X." After featuring Leatherface last week, it is now Bo Rai Cho's turn to shine.

During its Kombat Kast event on Feb. 18, the studio showed fans what Bo Rai Cho is capable of delivering in the "Mortal Kombat" arena.

Bo Rai Cho, also known as the Drunken Master of "Mortal Kombat," can induce neck- and back-breaking blows, deliver decapitating strikes, and induce a lethal dose of fart. Gross as it may sound, he delivers this attack right to the face of his opponent. It is not known, though, if the highly toxic gas is highly flammable.

In addition, an X-ray view is provided when he lands those bone-breaking moves.

He is a fast, agile and highly skilled competitor, considering that he appears to be obese. He also appears drunk after gulping copious amounts of alcohol. However, his big belly plays an important part in his infamous Belly Bash move that crushes his opponents.

Bo Rai Cho's fighting skills and combos can be seen on this video on YouTube put up by IGN.

This character is not totally new to "Mortal Kombat" fans. He has appeared in several "Mortal Kombat" games prior to this.

Last week, NetherRealm studios featured its first character, Leatherface, for the Kombat Pack 2 DLC. This leaves two more characters, Alien and Triborg, to make their debut in Kombat Kast. Future Kombat Kast events can be viewed via the developer's Twitch page.

The "Mortal Kombat X" Kombat Pack 2 is expected to be released on March 1 alongside the special edition "Mortal Kombat XL," which is for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One only. "Mortal Kombat XL" is a relaunch of the game but will include all downloadable content, such as characters, skins, movesets and more.
