GENERAL/STORY:
Noob Saibot is a ninja of the shadows. He appeared in Mortal Kombat 2 as a hidden character. Noob's special abilities in Mortal Kombat II were simply copied from Scorpion. To fight him, the player must win 50 rounds in a row.

The name Noob Saibot spelled backwards is "Tobias Boon" (the last names of MK creators Ed Boon and John Tobias). Speculation arose that after Tobias left Midway in 2000, the "Saibot" portion of the name had to be removed for legal reasons, but this was untrue as Tobias did not own the rights to the name. In MK: Deception's Konquest mode and in MK: Armageddon, the name Noob-Smoke was split up, with "Saibot" omitted for continuity purposes.

REVIEW:
I guess Noob Saibot was a pretty good design as a "mystery" character, but in actuality he really was just a clone of Scorpion... His later appearances were alright, but the appeal for his design kinda died out... Especially after Tobias left Midway (and MK turned to shit).
