The render looks good. Beautiful eyes. Beautiful, sad, distant, worried that someone's gonna threaten Edenia again eyes. Some may say that she looks proportional now. Costume wise it looks like they totally covered up the triple D's(I call them the DADS, Deadly Alliance D's). They streamlined the hips also. Kitana is going to be aerodynamic lol. Anyways I am glad shes in, and cant wait to see how crazy her moves and combos will be.

Looks pretty good. We're getting close here; bring on the next render! Jax or Green Lantern.

Mileena. Nice.

Looks way better compared to Sonya , a pretty nice design if you ask me .

Kitana looks great, and like a woman. Her hair is also insanely detailed, definitely better then the Sonya one by farrr.

Now, in terms of looks

Kitana>>>>>>>>>>>Sonya

wow when i first saw this picture today it was a smaller version, but now seeing the Hi res version... WOW it looks great.

when its smaller it looks like she has a bulge there but full screen it doesnt at all so i was wrong about that.

only problem w/ it is her eye color and no steel fans. did she alays have brown eyes???

i like her blue outfit from MKDA-MKA the best still and i really love the picture of her that John tobias drew a long time ago. i loved it so much its tatooed on my arm

I like that people don't hate it like they were leaning to when they saw the old ones of Jax and Green Lantern and her.

now if only they'd take her hair out that ponytail...

I agree with the steel fans comment, I also think they should have been included but maybe they aren't completed yet.

Her eyes have always been brown, the only time I remember seeing them blue was in an UMK3 concept art of her.

She had blue eyes in MK:DA. Hard to see, but they were blue.

I guess it's not something the MK team puts a great deal of thought into though.

Nahh, they've always been brown within the canon storyline MK games. Concepts obviously don't count since they're "concepts". I just pegged out every canon pic of her in every MK game and in MK:DA they look light hazel which is a lighter brown, not blue.

She never had blue eyes, lighter brown then past games? yes, but not blue.

Wow. Awfully eager to prove me wrong.

But, I looked up a high-res render of her from Deception and they are a light brown. In smaller pictures they looked blue to me.

well what ever id rather have them be blue or even hazel then the brown they have on her now.


see now if there was some kind of way we could change things on our characters like eye color and stuff like in Soul cal iv and tekken it would be kool.

wont happen sadly, the mk team seems real stubborn w/ adding little details like this.

lol not at all dude, I'm just obsessed with her eyes ha, ha

Great render (though too bad it looks like a concept art)! And what a beautiful background that is!

Is it me or are boobs incredibly “small” compared to her other versions? O_o! And I think they should had given her a black colored part in her “private” part, it looks like she has a bulge.

* The Positive *

- The background with waterfalls is beautiful! I truly cant wait to fight in water interactive arena. Edenia looks amazing!!!!
- The “flower details” on her costume look great (but why flowers? It reinforces that “delicate” issue about her, and despite being there for “obvious reasons”, I hate the rainbow).
- The “things” hanging from behind her hair, the straps. They looked awesome in the low quality render, they look awesome here.
- No bun.
- The long pony tail looks sooooo beautiful! Im not sure if I like it better then the MKDA one, but Im glad that this one looks different. Its got an elegant "flow" imo.
- Her right hand fingers look brilliant! I love how they look elegant in a way I cant describe.
- The cool little “X” strap on her chest looks good.
- I LOVE those straps on one of her hands! I like the straps, it would had been sooo cool if she had been covered with straps like Sonya was in more places.
- I love the mixed black/blue colors.

And I disagree with whoever said that long hair looks ugly, I think it’s awesome and certainly much better then a bun any day!

I have mixed feelings about the mask though, which probably isn’t bad in design, but it looks weird because of the fatness of the face, which leads me to:

* The Negative * (DON’T bite me since Im being honest here)

- What is it with the MK team making the females look manly? I’m sorry, but her jaw looks oddly fat and big, or is that supposed to be a shadow? It looks very ugly. So far, MKSM Kitana face is the best.
- Her eyes are freaky. It might be the fatness of the face or the cheeks, but they look weird. Her face doesn’t match up with the skinny body, it looks too inflated imo.
- Her hair (not the long hair), the bangs, I hate them...it’s a horrible, horrible style, for anyone! What happened!? They should had done it the way she had it in MKDA. That single hair floating around was sexy! But here, it looks like she didn’t even comb her hair and that it was cruelly cut in the wrong places.
- I HATE the rainbow. Im sure Im not the only one who sees it, and I rather not get into details about how this reinforces the “theme” she’s been tied to, but that rainbow is corny. I don’t think its just there because of the waterfalls. It can be very symbolic you know.

RAIN would had been much better. If they are to associate Kitana with something, the worst choice was a rainbow. A raining background would had made that symbolism so much justice.

And I disagree with whoever said that the other characters (except Liu Kang of course), didn’t get a “major” update on their looks. All of them got extremely well built “new” designs with a few “classic” touches from other game. But this costume is just as repetitive as Liu Kang’s render, its the same thing we’ve seen forever.

Just because she started as a pallet swap DOESN’T MEAN she cant look original and creative. Just take a look at Mileena, Reptile and Sub-Zero for a few exmaples.

It would had been fair to give her as much attention for a new design as they did with everyone else. Like someone said, so much more could be done.

Anyways, I still think this is a great render, and Im definitely hoping to see her soon gameplay wise, because I hope she looks much better gameplay wise, specially the werid short bangs and her mad-eyes.

BTW, MKFlegend is right, her eyes have always been brown, always. Where did the blue idea come from?

wow the toes look fantastic...impressed with the feet work yet again!

nice... she doesnt have huge unrealistic boobs...

Tell that to the SC and DOA girls! Lol.

But yeah, her boobs looks so tiny compared to Sonya's and even Catwoman's.

Shes asian now!!! YES!!!!

I agree. I think this is actually the least Asian she's looked in years.


I never really saw Kitana as Asian anyway.

me either.


on the render, the body suit looks kind of odd to me. with like the things coming over her shoulders. i'd like to see the back of it

As much as I try, I just dont understand why the mk team cant listen to fans and hire someone else to work on the female renders, or at least make him/her put the same effort they do with the vs render pics.

Why is the head so round and fat? Why did they give her such a predominant bulge? This is by far her worst look, she looks ugly. I even prefer the MKDA one, her hair looked sexy there, her hair (bangs actually) look like straws here. They should had done them sleek and smooth.

Long live MKSM Kitana!

I dont see her that asian imo.
