Yeah, she looked great in Deadly Alliance. It was Lin Quei garb, sure. But it wasn't you know... ridiculous. It looked really cool.
Does Jade have no fans?

jade as a character is ok, slightly underdeveloped maybe, but definitely not "pallet swap" or "terrible" like someone said. a lot of characters are underdeveloped
you guys should be happy that at least kitana uses something that resembles jade. it does feel a bit cheap, as if they couldnt bother making another variation for kitana or revamp jade as a character.
but hey, otherwise, she wouldn't even be in the game in any shape or form
just look at meat

One of my brother's friends was really looking forward on playing Jade with this game. Showed him the info and video that proves that she's not in it, he gets really upset. Haha.
But all in seriousness, I don't see this being cheap in their books with Mournful. To be honest, I think it's actually kind of funny. Jade started out using Kitana's moves, and now years later, we see Kitana using some of Jade's.
I think that's somewhat clever on their part.

Kitana having Jade's moveset also will be good for the people who were good with her style in MK'11.

So let me ask you this: do you think it's a complete coincidence that MK9's Jade and Smoke are "paying homages" to their palette swap days, while Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Noob, Ermac, Reptile, and Mileena continue developing down the same divergent paths they've been on for the last 3-4 games?
Scorpion's rocking the ninja swords, Subz has got his clan symbols on his armor, Noob looks evil as shit in his hoodie, Ermac looks more like an Eastern mystic than ever before, Reptile is a reptile, Mileena's a slutmummy with a bad dental plan... why didn't any of these guys go retro? Well, maybe because going retro would actually not make any sense because NRS sees them as very different characters, and they don't want us thinking "Ermac used to be a ninja!" because they're so proud with what they've done with him since then. While Jade has a slightly different bikini from Kitana's (both lackluster MK2 updates) and Smoke literally recycles textures from his Klassic costume in his main. If that's not "we don't even care" from NRS, I don't know what is.

Oh no, they have a similar costume! Last time I checked, all of the male ninjas have similar costumes as well. Here's your proof, considering you're so biased on the whole 'palette swap' topic.
Looking at those two, it's pretty obvious they share the same, if not more similarities than Jade & Kitana do. You really need to stop using the term 'palette swap' when you clearly have no bloody idea what it means. You even have the audacity to accuse Jade of being a palette swapped Kitana and then proceed to deny that Sub-Zero and Scorpion look anything alike. The only similarities Jade & Kitana have in terms of clothing are a mask (irrelevant, if you're going to use this as an argument look at Sub-Zero & Scorpion), usage of lace in the top and a loincloth (male ninjas all have loincloths). Jade's outfit is connected, similar to a onepiece bathing suit, unlike Kitana's where she has a midriff with her entire stomach exposed. Jade's outfit is also accentuated by the use of golden chains, while Kitana's outfit is more focused on lace & royal symbols on her clothing. I just can't wrap my head around your ignorance. There are similarities obviously but stating that she's a palette swap is a plain lie.

Erh, Scorpion and Sub-Zero have looked like their palette-swap selves in every game (except Subbie's MK3/MKDA look), Noob and Ermac looked more like their MKD looks, Reptile somewhat like a mix between his MKDA alt and the palette-swap look, and Mileena was definately an homage to her palette-swap look as well (mask, thigh-high boots and long gloves from MK2, leotard with open mid from UMK3).
They're no different than Jade. Funny enough, Kitana is the only one who actually had a more unique look, as she didn't wear a leotard this time around, but rather a two-piece with a loincloth. I remember many saying that its like she stole the look from Jade's MKD outfit, and that the two of them should have switched outfits in MK9.

I actually like a lot that "Mournful" Kitana Variation. Gonna use "Jade-Tana" quite a bit then the game is released. I just hope that Jade's absence is given a good, dramatic explanation in the story mode.

What should ppl (her fans) do exactly? I mean she is not the only one not making the cut so should ppl make threads and complain about every character not being in the game?
I like her but i understand that there's no space for her in MKX and that's it. I have my favorites too but if they don't make a cut i will not "cry" and complain about that. For example i would already replace some announced characters with others because i am not a fan but oh well... they can't please everybody.
Also imo she is in the game! Her spirit and style and weapons are there with Kitana's variation.

Notice that those here who say they are Jade fans are not the ones who made this thread and haven't been whining about her not being in the game.

She was a pain to fight lol. I used to spam projectiles to win in the old games and when i got to her she was like um no b!tch haha

One of the reasons I love her so much. XD
I was never able to defeat her either, but it was still awesome. ^^

That's probably one of the reasons why NRS doesn't have the strong will to move forward and do something new. Every time they kill a character, someone goes "OH NOEZ WHY doesn't he/she have any fans?!". I mean no offense, it's just... we were promised a new game. It's enough that even friggin' Jax is back (AGH). If Jade was in too = one less new character/one less (good) character from MK4 onwards that they could develop. I'd rather see her rot. I wish Jax, Kitana and Kung Lao would rot too.

Yes. You need a story chapter to be cool. Cool like Sektor, Quan Chi, Noob, Sindel, and Shao Kahn.

Mileena is one of the best and most creative female characters in the game in terms of design and gameplay.

ya right
mileena = literal kitana's clone who somehow keeps the screwed up tarkatan mouth, but not other features such as arm blades and etc
appeared during mk2, which is kind of recent according to mk9
behavior wise she acts like a slut/child
meanwhile, the other 2 assassins were there for...10,000 years?
not talking about gameplay here

Um, no Evil character had a chapter in MK9's story mode...
I have no interest in her either, but it's nice to see her character take a better turn in the MKX Comics. Much more relevant than Jade at this point.

I would like, if not Jax, then to surely develop Jaquie into a character worth following and getting interested in. It's kinda sorta already disturbingly monochromatic when the heroes of the game are overwhelmingly white or asian. Then again, I never really DISLIKED Jax. I thought he was a better grappler than Sheeva.
