Realistic approach to ninja designs in MK9

Although we all do not agree on the designs of some of the MK ninjas, one thing I do want to praise NRS for is adding the wrist and shin gaunlets on the ninjas. I think it's a realistic approach. After playing and watching MK for a few years I always wondered how ninjas stood a chance against other MK chars with blades. By adding bits and pieces of armor on the ninjas, i can now know that its possible for ninjas to beat their foes who are carrying blades and other kinds of deadly weapons.
 
Let me add this that the day in which everyone would agree on a certain Ninja's design ain't happening. The pallate swaps strategy left most of us wtith their own imagination about that character. Same goes for the story of characters like Kitana and Kung Lao.

People got too attached to MK I think.

When you are dealing with dudes who shoot ice, fire, or can absorb your soul, I don't think some shin guards are going to help you that much. These guys use magic, or in Stryker's case use grenades and bullets, whatever protects these guys from these projectiles its not going to be some small pieces of armor on their extremities, if anything they should all be wearing bullet proof vests dipped in whatever Achilles was.

I agree though that the character designs are cool, and the best since the original 3.
