Actually no, as surprising as it sounds.
I never considered Tanya a ninja. She's always been on the side of a female quan chi, regarding the fact that she's a sorceress.
People keep thinking she's a ninja for some reason, but she's not. She's the only female sorceress that daps in black magic in the franchise that's been playable. (Jataaka and Kia have, but they have never been playable)
I'd like her to have a brand new alternate like her primary.

Two reasons:
- Kitana was supposed to be in MK4, but they instead wanted a new character, so they used the Kitana model they had made and changed that into Tanya. So in some people's eyes, Tanya is another Kitana palette swap.
- She's a female Edenian like Kitana and Jade, and apparently that means she must be exactly like them.

But like you, I NEVER saw Tanya as a female MK ninja. She was never ninja-like at all, she was never an assassin. She's always been more dependent on magic than stealth.

It's funny how intensely it's implied that she's a female sorceress in the MK:D Story mode and bio card, but people still insist she's the long-lost female scorpion ninja.
..Yes, that last part is true. All of my friends call her the female scorpion, or say 'is that scorpions girlfriend?' It's kinda funny. I just wish people understood that she's unique. Everyone on here even calls her a copycat for having fire moves.

This bugs me. But it's so true how many people insist this. Since she's edenian, people think that she's the 'Mileena' of Jade.
Jade's a good Ninja, and they ALL assume that Tanya is the evil version of Jade.
That's true, Jade and Tanya are both ambassadors of Edenian armies, and they are both rivals and Good/Evil, that's probably why so many people insist that Tanya is another one of the ninjas as well.

Well, it just shows people's ignorance. :/

This game isn't doing much to help that either. She has the bottom of an actual female Ninjas garb, but the top of a tribal sorceress, and tabi arm slits. If people didn't think she was a Ninja before, They probably will after this.
Jesus I hope her alternate shows off her sorceress side. I'm ready to see something brand new. The only ORIGINAL costume she ever had was MK4 and MK:D. Her MK:D Alternate was just her MK4 but with cloth covering any cleavage.
Can't wait to see her alternate in MKX. They've done MIRACLES for Tanya on this game, literally, I've never loved her appearance more than I have today. Never.
And if I'm already in love with this design, no telling what they have up their sleeves for her alternate. I fantasize about it once a day when I'm in this topic. :rolleyes:

Nothing about Tanya's outfit suggests she's a ninja...

Do you acknowledge Jade or Kitanas outfits in the past 5 games as Ninja-worthy?

No. XD
I've always seen their clothes as "femme Edenian style" rather than "LULZ IMMA NINJERH!", because Sindel wears clothes that has the same design - leotard, long gloves and thigh-high boots. And Tanya as well.

I know, but what I was basically saying is, Tanya is wearing something that Kitana would wear in MKDA or MKvDC, because they have very similiar clothes on the arms and tones. If you were to consider Kitana a ninja [WHICH the casuals DO] then the apple wouldn't exactly fall far from the tree.

And that's what I mean with ignorance. But yeah, I've come to accept that most people don't care. That everyone still calls then "ninjas", as well as Sub-Zero, Reptile, Ermac, Smoke, Rain and Noob (did I forget anyone?), when in fact only Hanzo and Takeda are the only two real ninjas in MK... I just sigh and roll my eyes, because as soon I start that conversation, people get so incredibly butthurt. XD

Aaaanyways, side-tracked.
I am VERY satisfied with Tanya's look in MKX, now with the new updated look. I already liked her costume, and now her skin and hair look consistent as well. I do like the eyes, but like I said earlier, would have preferred the pupils with an otherworldly glow to them. But the white eyes work as well and it is consistent to her MKD look, so I'm happy. ^^

Now that her look is down, I can't wait to see her gameplay. :D
 
Re: Tanya's Design Compared to Older Designs.

Tanya is absolutely one of the 'female ninjas' -- Khameleon mimics her in Armageddon.

I assume that just means she was trained in Edenian fighting techniques like Kitana, Jade and Mileena were. Obviously they're not Japanese, so they're not actually ninjas.

I'm hoping for an alt costume that's more fancy and regal, but I wouldn't be opposed to a mask or veil with it.

I utterly hate this excuse. They needed a 4th move and so they grabbed it from Tanya. It doesn't mean Tanya is a "ninja". But it's the same problem with Reiko, because he was supposed to be Noob at first, they reused the model and made Reiko instead, so now people think Reiko is a ninja as well. And even still after his appearance in MKA and in the MKX comics.

I'm not ranting at you, Imp, so I'm sorry if I make you feel like I am, I've just had this conversation SO many times. :/

Thank you, this sounds alot more correct and legit, and I'm glad to see you don't actually see them as ninjas. ^^

No offense taken!

The thing is, they could have taken the fourth move from Frost, but they didn't. That indicates to me that Tanya is absolutely meant to be part of the Kitana/Mileena/Jade set.

I see it as a badge of honor, though! It makes her part of an iconic quartet.

Chameleon didn't borrow a Reiko move, so people should probably let that one go.

I'm glad, because it was never my intention to be offensive towards you. ^^

The only thing Tanya has in common with Kitana and Jade is that she is a female Edenian though. She wasn't even Shao Kahn's assassin alongside them. If she was, then yes, I would definately see her as an MK ninja.

Funny enough, I think Khameleon would be better off with a move from Frost instead of having Tanya's fireball. :P
 
Re: Tanya's Design Compared to Older Designs.

Sorry to disappoint the Tanya fans but her new look is horrible. Her first appearance was awesome! I liked that look and now it's just... Yeuck.

I guess I'll wait on gameplay to see if she's really worth getting.

i didn't think Frost would be a choice since she doesn't wear a bikini like the other three and Kitana already represents the color blue which Khameleon changes into.

Tanya had that bikini costume in MK4/MKD (but without any mask) and she was edenian like the other 3 too. So I think thats why Tanya was chosen. It was either her or make a new "ninja" (and at the time Khameleon was the LAST character finished in MKA)

Wait, were you summoned into this thread because we mentioned Frost? Scary. ;P
 
Re: Tanya's Design Compared to Older Designs.

Haha, no I actually wasn't playing attention to the conversation before I commented. No offense to anyone, I just do that a lot with topics but I do go back and read up to when I posted :-)
 
Re: Tanya's Design Compared to Older Designs.

Oh, I just noticed something else...

Not only is Tanya's skin, hair and eyes changed, but her costume has a change of colour as well. It's more yellow than gold now AND the purple is gone! It's black now instead!

I actually liked the gold and purple costume. Hopefully that will be the P2 colour then.
