Commander - I don`t care that much what you did or didn`t have in mind, so no, I won`t ask you. I`m 100% sure that we won`t get free skins for Tanya and Shinnok, maybe with KP2, but they will be paid.
We got ninja klassic skins for free, because that was ONE design, recolored for 4 characters. If you follow that pattern, you can get to easy conclusion that IF we get anything for free, it would be at best UMK3 female ninja costumes, recolored same way.
Tanya and Shinnok MK4 costumes would be more complex in design, so they won`t be free for sure.
Let`s not forget that top priority for devs should be keep game alive by fixing awful netcode. No new characters or fancy costumes will help, when important gameplay aspects are neglected.
But devs won`t care. Swarms of casuals flood his Twitter for more DLC instead fixing what`s important.
So, then don't ignorantly assume that I said things which I never said.
That's how words get twisted and get said which I never said.
Tanya's Klassic skin can easily be done similarly to MKII Mileena and Kitana in MKX, minus the mask and a few modifications, so yeah a free skin for her sure as hell isn't out of the question.
It's just recoloring that "Klassic" skin, modifying it a little and making it available.
Simple.
You also like to ignore the fact that we got free Raiden (MK1 / Tournament) and Johnny Cage (MKII / Tournament) Klassic skins included with the game, but fine.
Ignore that fact if it makes you feel better.
Recoloring Kitana and Mileena's MKX Klassic skin for Tanya and making some modifications sure sure as hell isn't complex.
Complex is Reptile's MK4 costume, which is more than just a "recolor."
Reptile's classic skin (on top of being recolored) was also made to match his MKX model with his green scales on his arms and torso and the mask being an open mouthed mask.
Yet, with all those modifications that they had to make to Reptile's Klassic skin, it was more than just a generic UMK3 ninja skin (more like his MK4 model), and it was also free.
So that bullshit complex Klassic costume logic goes out the window for Tanya.
Tanya's MK4 costume modification would be modifying the MKII Mileena / Kitana costume and just recoloring and making some small adjustments, minus the mask.
Should be, but sadly it won't be.
You're correct on that.
NRS didn't give 2 turds to fix the MK9 netcode until Gamespy was being shut down and they had no other choice, and it doesn't look like they care to fix it for MKX.
