I gone this free game from Playstation Store(Which I got Playstation Plus). It was called Mortal Kombat II. It was like a redone version of the original. Except. It had Playstation Controls. I looked in Character menu and find a guy named "Noob Sailbot" Is this really it?

No, it comes from sailor slang for "newbie" or something. I think.

Actually, this is the origin.

Good Mortal Kombat players would tell Noob players to go away cause he was OP.

I remember now. :)

No it's simply derives from

"Newbie" someone couldn't spell (likely) or didn't understand (also likely)

This is usually how nicknames start - then they become insults

The newb one is what people ASSUMED it came from, like QQ coming from tears.

If i got the facts right from the magical Wikipedia, OoOoOoOoO.

Newb was used in the vietnam war.
Newbie was then used commonly at work.
Noob, newbie and newb was then used on the Internet.

Lookup the origin of QQ on Wikipedia, its probably wrong.

Wikipedia gets a lot wrong. You can't trust something that can be edited by anyone.

Ichigo, thats because your post only tells us where the CREATORS got the name from.

Not that you have any opinions on OP.
