Klassic Costume Pack Discussion

Re: Blueberry & Lime

Mr. Azure said:
Blueberry and Lime are probably the referring to the MK II Jade and Kitana outfits. There was the whole thing about the female MK2 Costume being within the code during the demo leak. Thing is, if indeed that is the case, then it leaves one wondering who gets the outfit with Mileena when the fourth DLC drops?

I already said all this a few pages back, but of course, no one pays attention because they're too caught up in their own hopes that they can't realize the truth.

As for getting a costume with Mileena, that'd probably be Skarlet. I don't think she should get a retro at all, but it'll most likely be her.
 
Re: Blueberry & Lime

I don't know if it would be her.

I couldn't see there being a free compatibility pack for a DLC character that doesn't even have an alternate costume yet. Plus you never know who may, or may not have her on the hard drive. I've all ready read that some people haven't even downloaded the free pack for either Kenshi or Skarlet yet.

I said the same thing in the other classic costume thread, but I'm not so sure about Skarlet getting one of those classic alts. Anyone who didn't buy Skarlet (I can't imagine who) may feel short-changed by that.
 
Re: Blueberry & Lime

So, I was really curious about this tip and I went on with a little research of my own about MK1-2-3 costumes to see who was green and who was blue (yeah, holidays are great for doing stupid and useless things! :P). And here are the results (I add some comments on my own just to stir the arguments a little bit more) :

If you want to see all the pictures of the characters, go to http://www.mortalkombatlegacy.com, great site with pics and videos of all the characters from all the MK games.

1/ Mortal Kombat (1)
Blue :
Sub-Zero (already got that)
Shang Tsung (too close to his alt?)
Green :
Reptile (already got that)
Sonya (kinda cool but her MK3's costume better I think)
So if the Klassic Skins were from MK1, it would be Shang Tsung and Sonya

2/ Mortal Kombat II
Blue :
Sub-Zero (too close to his MK1 costume and already got 1 klassic)
Kitana (already got 1 klassic and frankly, her MK3 costume was better)
Kung Lao (not that different to his outfit from MK9)
Raiden (too close to his outfit from MK9)
Johnny Cage (too close to his outfit from MK9)
Green :
Reptile (already got 1 klassic)
Jade (same as Kitana)
So it looks like the next Klassic Skins won't be from MK2, not enough options.


3/ Mortal Kombat 3
Blue :
Sub-Zero (without the hood, I hope it's not that, we already have a Klassic Subby, and I really don't like his face :P)
Kitana (already got that)
Nightwolf (I think Nightwolf is not a character loved enough to get a Klassic, but possible)
Raiden (too close to his outfit from MK9)
Stryker (in fact, pretty different that the one he got in MK9, I mean longer hairs, hat backward, white stripes)
Green :
Reptile (already got 1 klassic)
Jade (already got that)
Sonya (looks pretty 90'-ish, could be really fun)
So if the Klassic Skins are from MK3, it should be Stryker (Raiden?)/Sonya

Final conclusion :
MK1 : Shang Tsung/Sonya
MK2 : nothing
MK3 : Stryker/Sonya
So whatever happens, Sonya is here, and it really seems more plausible to pack Stryker with Sonya than Shang Tsung. And also the MK1 outfits are not that great.

Hope that helped!

Cheers

PS: I really hope Boon wasn't trolling when he said "Blueberry & Lime"! If he was, he owe me 15 minutes of my time!
 
Re: Blueberry & Lime

The previous clue (salt & pepper) wasn't exactly accurate colour wise. So it could be anyone really. LOL

Re: Blueberry & Lime

The free compatibility packs so far have been pallet swap ninjas/cyborgs and they've been pairings that have history together and alliances n the MK universe, and I think this will be the same for the next 2 packs so I'm pretty sure it will be MK2 Jade and Kitana, it makes the most sense based on the previous 2 packs. And if that happens Mileena better get her MK2 outfit at some point

If you insist on a palet swap, I would go with Klassic Cyber Sub-Zero and Klassic Cyber Reptile... that would be fun! :D
Or at least MK2 Subby and Reptile, these outfits are way better than MK1's.... But then that would mean that the fourth Klassic Pack would be MK2 Scorpion and Ermac.....
But please no female ninja outfits from MK2, they were horrible! :)

How could anyone feel short changed about getting a free costume? It's not like they'll have to buy it if it's in a compatibility pack, anyway...

I still think we're gonna get MK3 Sonya and Jax with Rain... But, it will be interesting to see how they get alt costumes for the DLC characters... if they charge for them, people will be a bit upset having to pay extra for a DLC character costume, but it could pose problems if they are part of compatibility packs... Say Kenshi and Skarlet alts come out with the ??? character... if the person isn't buying the ??? character, what incentive do they have do download the compatibility pack, especially if they don't have Kenshi or Skarlet?

Yeah, that's how I feel about it too. It's too close to the klassic to even give him a klassic. Unless it's the spandex shorts Cage.

Re: Blueberry & Lime

Here are a few points in my head regarding what the free Klassic costumes could be for:

1. Retro Pack #1 is priced at $4.99 or 400 MS Points, therefore it would make sense for them to release FREE costumes for characters that were already included in the first pack (Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Reptile, Ermac, Kitana, Mileena, and Jade). So people who DIDN'T buy the pack, can get FREE retro outfits for the characters mentioned.

2. As much as I love those 7 characters from RP#1, I strongly think they shouldn't release more skins for them for the time being. Give others a chance like what they gave to Sektor, Cyrax, Noob Saibot, and Smoke. Maybe sometime in the future, but not now.

3. They could have easily given us MK1 Noob Saibot and MK1 Smoke as the FREE costumes, but they didn't. I take it that they want to keep those just in the game and not playable. And it shows that they are working on different attires and not focus too much on palette swapping.

4. I doubt they would include retro OR alternate costumes for Skarlet, Rain, Kenshi, and ??? in the Compatibility Packs. Reason is a lot would complain and people who don't support DLC will be given more reason to not download the FREE Compatability Packs.

5. Chances of them releasing Retro Costumes which are NOT palette swaps are pretty low in my opinion. Of course it would be easier to just design one, and recolor it for the others. But then again, think back about my point #3. But I am remaining hopeful that CP#3 will have two different models.

Just my thoughts about this thing. I mentioned a while back that the name of Sonya keeps sticking out (compared to those who already have DLC costumes, btw), so that is why I am somewhat convinced that she could be the next candidate.

How in the hell would it make sense for them to do this?

I'll be pissed if I bought that costume pack when I could have just gotten them for free.

Sorry, it was a poor choice of words. I meant something similar.

It was said before this DLC started rolling that the compatability packs would contain eight classic costumes in total. No mention was made of any strings attached to them (i.e. in order to make use of them all, the player has to buy Skarlet).

If one of the last two packs contains a classic for Skarlet, some of those who didn't buy her would probably think "That's not fair," because they can't use that costume themselves.

I have Skarlet, though, so I'm not worried about it personally.
