Re: MK2 Klassics for Kitana and Jade Confirmed.
The trailer is being released tomorrow. This just "leaked" out before that.
It's simply not going to be Skarlet (as much as I'd love to see it), seeing as she's a DLC character, and the idea is to entice people who don't buy the DLC to get the compatibility packs. She'd be completely worthless to those who didn't buy her. Besides, if she got a klassic and Rain didn't, you'd have a ton of extremely pissed off people. As I said before, I'm half expecting it to be MK2 Mileena and MK3 CSZ, the two third-wheels in the "two of three klassics released" sets (cyborgs and MK2 females).
On a side note, YAY for my 200th post!

I understand what your saying but I really dont see a Kostume confusing anyone. And these compatibility packs are free. I would see NRS giving skarlet a klassic along with Mileenas to cater to the fans that have put down hard earned money on DLC. If they gave her a classic that might be incentive enough to persuade people that are on the fence about her to download Skarlet. People that dont buy DLC would have no right to complain because its free and they would still be able to use Mileenas MK2 kostume. The only way around it is if they did a DLC character exclusive Kostume pack. But I wouldnt compare what I suggested to downloading DLC for a game you dont own its just a kostume. Not a huge expansion to the game. And like I said its free shit so fans that didnt download Skarlet wouldnt have the right to complain.

For all you know people it could be a joke being played on all of you LOL. Tommorow is the day when you will see the confirmed costumes.

I hope so. I'd love to see an alt and a UMK3 klassic skin for Rain.

Re: MK2 Klassics for Kitana and Jade Confirmed.
I've defended NRS since day one.
But now I honestly do see it.
They're lazy :?
Instead of giving someone like Sonya or Jax some Klassics, they do the simplest costumes in MK history.
And they give them to characters who already have already received the klassic treatment.
I say boo to the MKII female ninjas
Give me MKII Jax goddamit!

Re: Blueberry & Lime
haha KLASSIC skarlett??? i think not. they are KLASSIC costumes remember. so no way in hell is skarlett going to have a klassic outfit she wasnt in MK1/2 or 3 or even UMK3. You should know this by know :/.
Next costumes = kung lao/ Liu Kang. thats my guess

Stop... just stop. WB Games just released the damn press release, which 100% confirmed that MK2 Kitana and Jade. These ARE the klassic outfits we are getting. Period. There's no debate, speculation, or doubt about it.
Unless you're joking?

Re: MK2 Klassics for Kitana and Jade Confirmed.
I dont think MK2 Mileena would come with MK3 CSZ they always release 2 pallete swap costumes and they could do a MK2 Skarlet to get people to buy the dlc they can be sneaky like that but I guess we will see in a couple weeks.

Re: MK2 Klassics for Kitana and Jade Confirmed.
I lost faith when the "lagless" online play wasn't fixed in the first patch. It's ****ing ********. I have defended them and defended them, but I'm ****ing through. It's just lazy. Yeah, it's awesome that it's free, but look at the mk3 costumes for cyrax and sektor and the Mk2 for noob and smoke, they're awesome. Why not keep shit like that coming? Nope.

It isn't possible for NRS or any gaming company to include a new skin for a character that you didn't download. That's like downloading DLC for a game you don't have.

Re: MK2 Klassics for Kitana and Jade Confirmed.
Personally, I agree. They should have had the MK2 costumes at first and then they should have got their MK3 costumes as DLC.
I fully agree with you on this, the bun was also my main reason for disliking this costume.
In the long run every fighter will have their classic costumes. Making 5 costumes per character. Characters which haven't got as that many classical costumes will probably get a second new alternate costume, except Mileena. She will only get her MK2 costume and that was it, due to the fact that she already has a third alternate.
Although I share the same love for the MK2 kunoichis like you, I have to disagree with you about this matter. Even if the UMK3 costumes are somehow weird, they are still classical costumes used in the era of Mortal Kombat 1 - 3 and therefore just by existing earned their right to be in this game as every other classical costume from Mortal Kombat 1 - 3 as well. Because this game is the Renaissance and rejuvenation of Mortal Kombat 1-3. Well I have to admit, that Quan Chi and Kenshi are exceptions though, because they haven't been present in MK 1-3, therefore they are the only ones, which can and will get MKDA, MKD and MKA classic costumes.
Moreover in comparison to the UMK3 variant the remade MK9 variant looks more detailed and can be get used to, of course this is just my humble opinion.
Although I think that we will get the MK2 Mileena and even a Skarlet (MK2, MK3) costume I don't think that NRS will release them with the next character. For Skarlett's classic costumes (yes she deserves them IMHO!!) we will have to wait at least three months and they will be released in a non-free costume pack. My thoughts are rather that, NRS will release two UMK3 male ninja costumes alongside the ??? character, just to open new ways of releasing palette swaps in compatibility packs with future DLC characters.
Nothing more to add
I fully agree with you!
I've got the same feeling, you do about the female outfits. Some revealing outfits are OK but not all. Long live costumes with more coverage!!! (MK1 Sonya Blade for example and of course MK2 kunoichi costumes)
Yes I agree with. I will go even a step further and say that nearly everyone will get their classic costumes in the long run. Because classics are a sales argument and also some classics are just simplified versions of MK9 costumes. In addition for all of you who are going to cry for NEW NEW and NEW costumes. Even if NRS are concentrating on classics at the moment. New costumes will come, because after the fourth classic pack no classics are left and I'll say it again: NRS said that they wanted to support this game for a long time. A long doesn't mean three months it means until the release of the next game, which won't be next year but in the Year 2013 or even 2014.
As for the lovely compatibility packs: It's a great thought and I see this in the same way as you do.
They will be at least two seasons of DLC characters meaning eight compatibility packs. The following classic ninja and kunoichi skins are to come:
MK1: Smoke, Noob
MK2: Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Reptile, Ermac, Mileena
MK3: Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Reptile, Ermac, Smoke, Noob, Cyber-Sub-Zero and Unmasked Sub-Zero
Making 15 Skins => 8 compatibility packs => 2 Seasons of DLC
I even think that, Rain and Skarlet will getting classic costumes but not on compatibility packs but in a separate DLC.
Besides, everyone is somehow forgetting one thing. NRS wants to redeem itself for charging on disc DLC and I think it's a great attitude to do so. They did this charging in order to satisfy their pre-order customers and the non-pre-order customer. Nevertheless the last ones were slightly unhappy about the charging and therefore they are getting now free classic skins as a redemption gift.
Yes this two costumes will definitely come but in my humble opinion NRS will be releasing UMK3 ninja costumes just to show the people, that even this classic costume will come (they will be the last ones though because every one besides Kenshi and Quan-Chi won't probably get any MKDA, MKD and MKA costume)

Yet another person who overlooks the simple fact that DLC outfits for DLC characters isn't possible to include as a compatibility pack incentive...

Jesus H Christ sir! Hold on while I drop science on you. Skarlet started as a glitch in MK2 where when choosing Kitana or Mileena they would sometimes appear red and thus started the rumor of "The Lady In Red" as she was dubbed by the fans as well as "Ruby" and "Skarlet". When NRS began putting out DLC they decided to flesh her out give her an origin and make her a full blown character with her own set of attacks fittingly based on "blood magick". So yes she does deserve a klassic. Why do you think Ermac has an MK1 klassic and not an MK3? Because he too started out as just a rumored glitch in MK1.
So do some research before calling people out on things man Ive been playing MK since 1992 when I was 8 years old and ever since.
