People are disappointed with Reptile's look?

His second costume is great. Much more ninja like and the armoured gold snake parts really suit him. I'm pretty neutral about his primary costume. As soon as the bloody PSN network is up and running again I'll be getting me MK1 costume.

Costume 2, Mk1, costume 1 in that order for me.

Do you get his classic costume by winning the hidden fight? Or Just DLC. Also, Love your Avatar, NOM NOM NOM!!!

Lol ta. I honestly have no idea if you can get it by winning that fight. I've not done that yet, I only have a DLC code.
 
To me the hell with his first costume his second one 10000x better but still his skin has like a blueish gray type of color to it it even green at least, I say bring back the human form I preordered from amazon and I'm telling you right now as a huge reptile fan I'm still not pleased
 
at least, he looks better than his MK: Deadly Alliance look? what's that? a croclizard?

in MK 2011 he looks more like a velociraptor (with to many fingers) morphed with the mouth of an oviraptor ;)

This game is not called 'Beast Wars', is it?

I still prefer his look to be as the one in the movie. A human version with the bad ass mask!

That's a cool ass idea, by the way. Bi-Han outfit for Reptile, it would've been pretty damn cool.
As for me, Reptile was my first favorite character in MK, starting in MKII. After MK Trilogy, It all went downhill from there :laugh:
I absolutely detest his reptilian look, I hate it. If I play as Reptile in MK9 (which isn't that common at all), it's only with his MK1 Klassic Kostume. Still, even though I don't like his default look from a personal standpoint, I can say the concept is well thought out. And I'm glad they made him more humanoid than in the past :x I still have the option to play as Human Reptile, so I can't complain.
 
With the exception of Smoke, none of the Ninjas look like ninjas. Rep, Scorp and SZ in particular look bulky, plodding and slow... not graceful, agile and fast like Smoke looks and is depicted.

MK 1 the ninjas looked like this. By MK II, they started looking more like ninjas.

It's not just reptile, most of the male ninjas just look like generic fighters wearing ninja clothing.
 
For me it's a tie between the MK1 ninja look and the UMK3 ninja look.
I like them both though.

I like what they did with the ninjas in MK9 though, because you can't just say "They're complete palette swaps."
Each one has their own unique look in Mk9. ;-)

Me too! i agree with everything you said here lol you just took the words out of my mouth
 
As much as I hate Reptile's MK9 look, I have to get credit to NRS for trying to convey a different aspect of Reptile, the aspect of him being an unhappy, lowly servant, as his humanoid form wouldn't really suit him for that purpose, IMO
 
I don't get why fans still prefer "human" Reptile. Reptile is NOT human, nor has he ever been; his very name should give that away (in fact, his name is a dead give-away that he is not even mammallian). The only reason a "human" Reptile was even in-game is because of a practice known as palette-swapping. If you don't like reptilian Reptile, then don't select him; it's that simple. I hope NRS retcons the very existence of a "human" Reptile.

His face looks like a freaken Pec ock for crying outloud! Lol they should have remade him in Human form because this game was based on MK1-3 he was human in those games.... well at least we got his classic MK1 outfit :laugh:

Is Nightwolf a wolf? Is Scorpion a scorpion? Is Rain rain? Is Smoke smoke? Is Noob a noob? Just because his name is Reptile, it doesn't mean he has to look like a reptile. It can merely be a reference to their color and/or special moves. Such as Jade, Smoke, Rain, and Sub-Zero.

Reptile was also in a "human" form in the movie. That is definitely not due to pallet swapping. Also to be fair, most characters in the game aren't even human, they just have a humanoid form. I don't know any human who can shoot fire/ice/fire from their hands.
