Reptile sure has evolved over the years

Actually, his mask reminds me some kind of bird. Doesnt' look like Reptile to me :(
Same here.


I dont understand why so many people wanted him to look human and wear green clothes in MK9

theres not really anything special about him if you do that, having him as a scaley freak gives him a personality and he can pull off moving and acting like a reptile without it looking wierd. I guess thats why the classic costumes come in handy for some people
I think that it would be interesting for him to start with a human-like costume, so that he would actually be desguised in Shang's Tournament. Then, after his true self was revealed, he would not hide his scales anymore.

You know, I can say exactly the same thing about Smoke's MKD alternate, which SUCKED. Why? Because it was a ****ing smoke with gloves and a mask. Reptile doesn't need to actually look like a reptile, as Smoke doesn't necessarily need to look like a smoke. Having reptilian elements in his gameplay and movement is enough. That's why MK2 was the best IMO: you know he was a reptile because of his fatalities, but you couldn't call him a ridiculous dinossaur, as in MK4-MKDA-MKA-MK9. I hate scaly reptile cause he simply doesn't look like his original concept: an acid-mastering ninja who was secretly a reptile.

Sure, I can understand people saying they like Reptile as a reptile (LOL) because it gives him personality. But human Reptile is way cooler and not that lizardman cliché thing.

IMO this Reptile is the best he has a normal MK ninja outfit and reptilian skin
 
mk4 reptile has to be the worst character design out of anything in the whole mk series

IMHO - the best.

In MK9 intro dead Reptile is the same as in the game, which means he hasn't go through evolution. I hope that whole evolution process to be cotinued in next games nad MK10 Reptile will be based on his primary MK4 outfit.
 
I've seen Reptile go through so many transformations and I've had to muster through someone of them (like MK:DA) but other than that IDC Reptile is the shit!
 
The best design for Reptile...IMO doesn't exist, though it comes really close. My take on it would consist of his main MK2011 outfit from the neck down (only the loincloth of the outfit would be backwards) and his MK4 mask (main oufit).

Then he would have 2 Alts: Classic (AKA Human...perhaps his movie appearance?) and "Caveman Lizard (AKA, his MKDA Alt)".

MK:SM Reptile will always be the greatest, no contest.

Everyone looked their best in that game.

This man right here knows what the truth really is. Also, did you guys know that during the Scorpion boss fight in Shaolin Monks if you duck his spear too many times he cusses you out? He say "GET THE F*CK OVER HERE!!" or "COME HERE B*TCH!!!" Lol pretty nuts. Also, my favorite Reptile was shaolin monks Rep but alt. version, the hidden human version.

I was pissed when I found out about the Scorpion thing because I had just given my copy of Shaolin Monks to my friend :mad:
I also loved the human version.

This may sound weird, but I've always wanted Reptile to wear a human face mask instead of full human head/mask.
Something like this:

That would actually be pretty badass. Reptile has gone thru a different design every game; so they should include that in the future. I'm really hoping that NRS does a Klassic pack #2 with all UMK3 ninjas costumes. Those were my favorite in general.
 
He sure has. And everyone seems to not like his MK9 primary but I love it. I like that his face mask/veil looks like a beak, or a bird as someone was saying, from a distance. Haha it's pretty cool. I'll always like Reptile as long as they don't make him look like he did in Mortal Kombat Armageddon. Jesus, he was ugly..
 
Everyone had their best costumes in MKSM, except Reptile. At least his moveset in that game was the best he ever had. I still remember his cool "acid cage-like thing" move he used when you pressed Triangle Triangle Circle. A shame they cast that move into oblivion...
 
so reptiles mask looks like a beak

well i say it fits considering repitle's,lizards,snake's all are related to birds so fits better then u think or want to give it credit.

because it gives him personality. But human Reptile is way cooler and not that lizardman cliché thing.

no cliché would be if they made him follow the normal ice blue,fire yellow,acid green.

reptile would be stupid if he was a human in green that's just following the norm of scorpion and sub zero it works for them.

if u have the technology and the kno how to make him his own character then why keep him human.

why is he wearing a mask with his mk9 default costume? It doesnt make any sense, what is he hiding, he looks like a dinosaur so no need to hide his mouth which he could use to do serious damage, instead He has to remove his mask every time to spit etc , just take it off and thats it stupid reptile.

his second costumes mask looks alot better, but i still prefer his klassic human look.
 
mk2/mk3 alt for mk9 would be my favourite, but for now i'm LOVING his Costume 2 2P colour! His skins gray and with the stiched up mask he looks evil as!!

Why don't they make Sub-Zero look like he has ALL OF HIS SKIN made of ice? Why don't they add a TAIL to Scorpion or make him be a simple skeleton in a yellow ninja outfit? Why make reptile look like a reptile ALL THE TIME, if EVEN IN MK'S HISTORY he has to be disguised at some point as a human? Seriously, I don't get it. Reptile doesn't need to look like a lizardman. He can look like a human and still be more original than Scorpion AND Sub-Zero.
