List your favorite and least favorite updated character designs from MK2011. Also maybe list what changes you would have made to your least favorite designs.

Favorites

1. Sub-Zero (primary)
2. Noob Saibot (primary)
3. Ermac (alternate)
4. Sonya Blade (alternate)
5. Scorpion (both) If I could change one thing about his primary costume it would be the body suit. Looks to superhero-ish imho but other than that, I like it.

Least Favorite

1. Smoke (primary) His hair kills it.
2. Reptile (both) We need a human Reptile again. I remember seeing in the art book that came with the Kollectors Edition that had a concept for human reptile that would have been so cool.
3. Nightwolf (alternate) I know what they were going for with this look but it just feels outta place imho.
4. Kitana (both) I don't flat out hate her new look but the tiara on her primary outfit is really childish looking and her unmasked face has kind of a Michael Jackson look to it. She should have softer facial features.
5. Shao Kahn - Again I don't flat out hate his new look but compared to how he looked in the first trailer, I was very disappointed in his final design. He reminds me more of a barbarian in the new game rather than an asian warlord from previous games.
 
Favourites

1 - Sub-Zero: He just looks awesome, he has a perfect blue tone and the emblems he has in garbs and arms are a good touch also the metal in his boots looks really cool, all is just perfect.
2 - Rain: From what we saw he looks just perfect, wearing violet instead of purple to make him looks more serious a perfect combination of arabic/edenian and a ninja.
3 - Reptile: I love this reptile design is the perfect combination of a ninja and a reptilian warrior at the same time.
4 - Noob: looks dark and original, with a bit of inspiration from Darth Vader.
5 - Smoke (alt): looks really good, a ninja with metal garbs = awesome and original.
6 - Scorpion: looks pretty good but I dont like the black stripes in his yellow gi (it should be purely yellow) but his mask, boots and the black pattern in his legs look awesome.
7 - Ermac - this is a cool ninja and egyptian combination, pretty good costume, looks evil and mysterious, though it needs more red on it IMO, specially on his top but it doesnt stop being great.



Honorable mentions

8 - Cyborgs: the 3 look great.
9 - Kitana and Jade: They are the best looking girls (in their mains), I like the hair and the garbs they use.
10 - Mileena (alt): Her alt looks pretty good, I dont like her but looks really cute in this costume.



Worst

1 - Smoke (main): Why, why they removed his hood? Yeah the fact of being the only ninja without hood makes him the worst costume IMO.
2 - Kabal: I hate his crispy skin thing, is just wrong, and his mask breaks I dont like that, also the "cape" is just lame, all in his main is wrong, design, garbs color, I always use his alt, is a shame they ruined kabal like this...
3 - Baraka: is just meh... this costume is just forgetable.
4 - Kano: everything Kano related is just bad to me...
5 - Sindel: looks like a 60 years old hooker, noone wants that...
6 - Kitana and Jade (alts) - The alts of these gals are wrong, they should not be unmasked, and the ponytails in their alts are ridiculous, plus the clothes on this ones are horrible too.


Unmasked and Unhooded ninjas = fail
Unmasked junoichis (fem. ninjas) = fail

best and worst in no particular order:

1) well, with a bit of caution but.. Rain :D I need to see more but the first pic shows Rain at his best throughout the entire series
2) Ermac (alt) , he looks just great, love this appearance
3) Smoke (alt) , his Lin Kuei alt is probably one of the best alts along with Ermac's in the game
4) Mileena (alt) , fits her a lot, if I didn't know she was a monster I'd actually think she's cute :p
5) Noob Saibot (primary) , it looks like a total revamp was needed especially in his case, he know looks quite awesome
6) Kabal (primary) , love the detail on him, he's a great character and looks good too
7) Scorpion (both) , they look great, lot of details on him, love both
8) Subzero (primary) , looks great, fits him well, any Lin Kuei outfit turns out to be great as it seems
9) Shang Tsung (primary) , love it, would also love to see a version of mk3 again, he looked more sinister

1) Kitana's alt, no mask = fail. plus, her face could use a lot of improvement, that face doesn't fit her much
2) Jade's alt, same reasons with Kitana
3) nightwolf's alt. seriously? SERIOUSLY? :p
4) cyrax / sektor. I'd prefer them as DLC humans with different movesets rather than this, they look a bit generic. sektor especially, he reminds me of Shang Tsung (face)
5) Reptile , no wonder you found reptile's retro on ebay for 80 bucks, most people want reptile to look like a human ninja. I want a human look too on him , not the retro one.
6) Johnny Cage (alt) , looks quite ridiculous
7) Kabal (alt) , looks like a bug exterminator
8) Kano (alt) / Sonya (alt) , Stryker (alt), Jax (alt) - too plain
 
Favourites:

- Johnny Cage both
- Stryker both
- Smoke main
- Ermac both
- Sonya alt
- Noob main

Least favourites

- Kitana alt
- Jade alt
- Mileena alt
- Kano main
 
1.Rain Looks Pretty Good Best He Has Ever Been
2.Kenshi They Fixed His Hair Which Looks Cool
3.Smoke 1st Costume I Like His Hair And Hes Different From The Rest
4 Ermac 2nd It Looks Awesome Like A Robe.
 
Favorite:

1. Cyrax (Just amazing and such an upgrade)
2. Ermac (Alternate and primary are just bad ass)
3. Mileena (Say what you want, but I love it)
4. Reptile (Best Reptile costume ever, imo. Why people want a human Reptile is beyond me.)
5. Rain (Could not have asked for a better Rain costume)
6. Kano (Best Kano ever. Easily)

Worst

1. Sub-Zero (Way too bulky for Young Sub-Zero. His alternate as Bi Han is awful and his eyes look odd)
2. Skarlet (Such an awkward costume. Her neck appears too long and her upper body is disproportionate to her lower)
3. Liu Kang (Awkward looking IMO but I've never liked Liu's model in any game except MK4)
4. Shang Tsung (He looks like an Italian Porn star)
5. Sonya Blade (They are getting better but the face is still too manly and the costume doesn't really suit her)

I don't get the Smoke hate at all. His Primary and Alternate feels very German to me and I quite like the makeover he got.
 
Best:
Johnny Cage alt, black version
Cyber sub/sektor/cyrax MK3
All Mk 1 ninjas
Rain
Smoke (both alt and main)

Worst:
Kenshi
Jade and Kitana alts
Kung Lao's alt
Quan Chi's alt
Jax's alt
Sonya's alt
