Lol, I find it that Cyber-Smoke fans got cheated.
Classic UMK3 sucks IMO there was no need to unmask him, they ruined a perfect costume
Im sorry but you all are completly wrong about this. The RETRO costumes have NOTHING to do with the MK storyline. If they did, then in MK9 Story mode, Cyrax would have his MK3 costume, Sektor would have his MK3 costume, all the ninjas would look alike with their MK3 costumes...
the point of the RETRO costumes is to pay homage to MK1-3. It has nothing to do with the storyline or with the timeline (old or new) of the MK Universe, they are gimmicks (or easter eggs, so to speak) for those of us who have played the original games.
so no, it doesnt make sense to give CSZ a retro costume when he in fact did not exist in '95 when the game came out. i realize "timeline-wise" CSZ would have had the kind of costume, but like i said, if they were really that detailed about the background of the klassic costumes, then CSZ would have already had that klassic skin when he was introduced in the story of MK9.
should have been a Cyber-Smoke costume...

In this game, there is no such thing as Cyber-Smoke.
I didn't say it had anything to do with the story I said the "timeline". They put CSZ in the retro MK3 cyborg kostume yes as an homage but also as a way to view the new timeline in the style of MK3 like a marvel...what if? Comic. what if it was sub-zero becoming a cyborg back then. Its not a hard concept to understand. But people try to look back at the first three games and use them as the gospel for what is essentially a new universe. And even though they are paying homage to the classics. Nothing in the future of this rebooted universe will be dictated by anything that happened in the series previously.
but there was in 1995, which is the point of these klassic skins, to give us the costumes that we knew and loved when we played the game back then.

gotta agree, I couldnt give 2 shits about the story, classic costumes are for fans of the old games. Not for the newly made story in mk9
but I dont even want him Robo Smoke as a costume anyway, and we already know he's not gonna be a character, So I just like him staying as the left out character in the old games.
my whole point is that the Klassics dont have anything to do with the MK timeline. they have to do with OUR timeline (literally, the time that we, the people on this forum, are living in) and letting us play as the characters that we played with back in '95
Both costumes look badass. Kinda funny how, while we spent the last week thinking about what character would be paired with Subby in the last skni pack, no one considered pairing him with his cybernetic version...
It is true that CSZ needed second outfit. This one is not bad. It is Hydro, that is obvious.
I am no fan of CSZ, I loved CSM.
There is reason for Smokers to be afraid because blue cyborg is now "taken".
I actually wouldnt mind much, if it would be Nano Smoke design.
I am also affraid of difficulities considering Rain, Skarlet and Kenshi alternates. To make money by selling costumes for sellable warriors? Or make these free? It would be actually only for the buyers of warriors. This make it suck for casuals and therefore not good for NRS.

he was always stupid looking, even back in mk3, but thats not the point.They still need to have him in here becuse he it was a classic costume. Dumb or not, unmasked still deserves to be in the game.
My only concern is his face looks like PS2 graphics. But what do you expect, its free.
Really? I love the look of the MK2 ninjas that's my favorite MK.
But I think the UMK3 ninjas look way cooler. Especially Scorpion.
And I like the UMK3 sub unmasked but I was hoping for his original MK3 look.
