All things Tanya! - Official Diskussion Thread

I did some reviewing on the MKX Tanya mod.
So, I don't think anyone noticed, but do you guys think her Grab is a nod to the MK4 Iconic neck-thigh fatality?
In her grab, she puts one leg up, squeezes their head with her thigh, twists it, but then kicks them away. I'm betting money that one of her brutalities will be her MK4 fatality involving her grab.

[Tried making this GIF, made it a bit too fast, but you can clearly see it. In the video, you hear the neck crack for a second]

Try look at Mileena's hair in the character viewer, both her main and tournament alt. It looks so glitchy.

hair is complicated because 1- Is a pain in the ass to make it look realistic and good. That's why Disney didnt make Rapunzel (Tangled) until they did 2- Once done well, it eats a lot of resources. Tomb Raider 2013 has a technology dedicated to rendering the hair (just for PC) and enabling it makes the fps drop to something between between "unplayable" to "half of what i had before i enabled it" according to this reviewer . Imagine the outrage if that happened in a competitive game like Mortal Kombat just for pretty hair.

The older games didnt have this issue because hair is pretty much a solid mass.
 
I know that this isn't exactly MKX Tanya related, but it IS Tanya related.
Checkout this playthrough of Tanya in MKD Arcade by this guy. He does some kickass Kombos on Max Difficulty with our girl.
 
Re: Tanya's Design Compared to Older Designs.

All the talk of alts got me wanting to do some costume design, but I have no drawing talent whatsoever so I went to a dollmaker since I guess it's better than nothing.

Anyway, I mocked up some stuff along the lines of what I'd want to see. I realize the yellows are brighter than anything else in MKX as of yet, but her new render does look like they've gone brighter with it (thank goodness).

First I played with something similar to her current MKX look:

Then I tried to sort of update the MK4/Deception era costumes for a more MKX practical aesthetic:

And then I did a kind of sexy sorceress thing that's probably too long a skirt for NRS to render. ;P

Anyway, just throwing stuff at the wall.

Damn you. Way to put me in between a rock and a hard place...I don't know which one I like best! All of them are incredible.

I loved the 3D era games, but the gameplay sure hasn't aged well. Compared to MK9 and MKX's gameplay, it sucks so much ass! XD

I still love the character designs of that era, and a good handful of the characters debuted in those games are some of my favourites of the whole series, such as Nitara, Hotaru, Havik and Taven.

Nice find, TH. ^^

He sure made me remember how strong Tanya was in MKD. Small Kombos with BIG damage. hell, a 5 hit Kombo for 1.5/3 of the life bar.
 
God, she played so well in Deception though. The whole engine was clunky and she was particularly fluid. The kobu jutsu is such a beautiful weapon style, too.
 
Sorry, another non-MKX related excitement post;
I got MK4 on my PC and holy god I feel rejuvinated. I haven't played as Tanya in any game since 2009. I can finally kick ass as her again.
Here's some screenshots I took. I'll be taking plenty more. Wow I'm happy to finally have MK4! My favorite game.

Wow. Sorry guys, I'll be absent for the rest of the night probably. I got some MK4 to catch up on. :love:
Gonna take on Master II ladder with my wife.

Kobu Jitsu is perfect. I'm so glad they brought it back. It's real unique, and I'm glad they put emphasis on it here.
And yes, I agree on the engine. Tanya was a breath of fresh air in a room full of dust. I've heard NO bad reviews about her playstyle in MKD.

Jesus, do I feel proud.
When I downloaded this game last night, I was having trouble in novice difficulty because I wasn't used to CP controls, and I hadn't played MK4 in 10+ years.
Now, I'm doing kickass Max Dmg kombos, and winning 8-people tournaments on Master difficulty. I've never been so proud about my MK skills.
So far, I've only been able to get Tanya up the Novice and Warrior ladders. I'm working on Master, then I'll work on Master II. (Whenever I find an answer to HOW THE HELL CAN I RECORD MY OWN PLAYTHROUGH, I'll post up a bunch of videos of my Kombos and Arcades!)
Once I do everything on Master I difficulty, I'll work my ass off on Master II.
It feels amazing to play as Tanya again.

I'm glad you're having fun, dude. I was about to give you some flack for being proud of your skills, as I think that MK4 is the easiest to play and learn combos, then I read that you were doing it on the max difficulty. Props for whooping ass with MY girl. ;-)

I used to get my ass kicked constantly on PS4 in the PS1 days because the last time I played this game, I was 6. Lol.
I'm proud because I would've never seen myself actually winning this much on a game I sucked ass on. I'm proud of myself. I'm improving.
YOUR girl? Boy, you was giving her up when MKX came out. 'You can have her. She's white now'
She's always been mine. :rolleyes:

ANYWAY
I just got home. I'm gonna get on and I'll do a playful Tanya/Goro Team ladder on Master II + Very hard difficulty just for shits n' giggles, then I'll actually try with Tanya solo. I'll tell ya'll how it goes
 
I see those models and i cant bring myself to download MK4 (i havent played it ever)

Can we take a second to reflect how D'vorah was this game Tanya's.
 
So, I got to Shinnok on the Master ladder in 'very hard' difficulty, and he kicked my ass almost double flawless. I have a lot I still need to learn. I probably would've won if he didn't transform into Sonya at the last match and spammed the leg throw and projectile.
But I do want to share the fact that I actually beat Goro on this mode as Tanya with just one round loss and I've never been so accomplished. He usually knocks down all of my Continues! :D

Pity! MK4 is my favorite MK game ever. Even MKX and MK9 mixed together are garbage to me compared to MK4 and MK Gold. It's just that..strange..nostalgia love feeling overtaking my soul. :love:

I don't know how I feel about this, but it's too true. Tanya was MK4's Shinnok treatcherous lackey, now D'vorah is exactly that.
Honestly, that's why I think they actually gave Tanya a cause this time around, which I love, because D'vorah took her original spot.

I like her primary fighting style in MKD so much. I honestly hope they find some way to reference it in MKX. It suits her more than perfectly.
And that fatality, when MKD first came out, me and my brother would always call it the Chicken Bone fatality. :laugh:

Also, in case you don't know, I got my Lorena Bobbit fatality ideas from this from this for her.

Gameplay wise, I really hope she has that Cannon Drill back since it'd be as effective as Mileena's roll attack. Also, I hope she has a ducking fireball as fast and effective as Mileena's sucking sai toss from her Piercing Variation. Those 2 moves would come in handy against characters like Corrupted Shinnok.
