Thats where I got the late teen-early twenties age for Kitana from, she was originally portrayed by a 20 and a 22 year old.


But they don't look their age, they look slightly older. But I really don't care anymore. If Kitana is cast by Erica, I'll be happy, obviously you won't. I gave you pics and references as to why Erica would be the perfect Kitana, you haven't given me anything solid that opposes it, just your 'feelings', which aren't canon. I'm done

@Jaded, I found it on google. I think it's from the modeler's portfolio. There were better shots, but this one had a clear shot of her face, so I used it :(




What are you talking about? You gave pictures with your opinion, I gave facts. I just gave you the most solid evidence to oppose your opinion, both actresses who originally portrayed Kitana were 20 and 22. Why would they have actresses that age play Kitana if she wasnt supposed to appear that young? You act like your feelings are canon, which they arent either, its just our separate interpretations. The only difference is that mine are based on facts.

I lied, I'm not done. Katalin and Becky don't look 19-22 in the games. People obviously don't look their age all the time, even you said so because you don't think Erica looks her age. As I said before, I see Kitana being early *pushing it* to late 20's. I personally don't care if Kitana is portrayed by a 19 year old, as long as she acts the part well. I think in this case the older actress looks more like Kitana and seems to have the sex appeal associated with the character. You seem butt hurt everytime anyone mentions Kitana looking older than 22, that's what irks me about you. My original statement was Erica Cerra would be a great Kitana, and you *yet again* says she's too old. I've showed you proof that Kitana has looked older than 24 which makes Erica the perfect age and not too old. Again, you have not shown me anything that says otherwise. You think I'm arguing that Kitana CAN'T be in her early 20's and you're missing the point. That's my opinion, I'm done, it doesn't need another page of nonsense...

Age-appearance doesn't matter in a game like Mortal Kombat. Kitana is 10.000 years old and still look young and beautiful. There is no need to be specific on what precise age she looks like in human age-specific terms. Madonna is a a perfect example of this - she is over 50 years old but looks like someone in her late 20's/early 30's.

The discussion of Kitana's age-appearance is on par with what ethnicity Jade has due to her skin-colour. It's ridiculous!

True, Kylie is indeed a better example. Shame on me for not realizing that before. Kylie looks alot more natural than Madonna does, though not as bad as Cher. XD

You have not shown me proof that Kitana looks older than 24, you showed me your opinion about how she looks in previous games, like I said, our opinions and interpretations are different. It doesnt make either one right. The fact is the original Kitana's were 20 and 22, not 30. Thats all Im saying. What am I supposed to show you when I just presented the fact that Katalin Zamir and Becky Gable were early twenties. What else am I supposed to show you, that fact pretty much proves your theory wrong. You may think they look older, but I think they look like a 20 and a 22 year old.
Why would Boon pick a 20 and 22 year old if Kitana was supposed to look 30, why wouldnt he just get a 30 year old then?

Im sorry, but Madonna does not look like shes in her 30s.

Im just saying, your argument is based on your opinion, mine at least has some factual back to it.


Another thing, Erica Carra is really not that attractive, IMO.

fine, if you want some facts, here's some. Once Talisa Soto *who was 28 when she originally played Kitana* appeared, Midway made Kitana look like her *hence, a 28 year old* and she has been modeled after Talisa since. There's your facts. And since Erica looks like Talisa *who looks like Kitana*, she's a great fit. Now where is your argument that Kitana can't look like she's in her late 20's again? I really want to stop this debate because it's been going on for 2 pages and is completely stoopid...

proof? uh, her face? Go read up a Kitana wiki EDIT: there's my proof, you showed me yours *which now is backed with facts*. I think Erica would be a great Kitana, you don't. I think this point is covered.

All I read is "biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitch bitch bitch biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitch" between you two's posts. Why do either of you care so much about Kitana's age-appearance? We all have our different opinions about it, but neither of them have any real value as they are not the official explanation.

Do you have any reason to go on with this discussion other than bitching at one another?

I think we're done. Is there any other Kitana stuff left to discuss? Heres one, anyone who watched the PAX video showing Kitana's xray, did you notice how much better Kitana's hair animation was? Thats probably already been discussed though.

Can anyone describe Kitana's fighting stance or does anyone have a screencap of it or something?
I'm trying to find the importance of it and why it's such a debatable stance

skyboy had a good capture of her stance in his old sig. I really like Kitana's stance, it looks great and fits her really well. My favorite was eagle claw from MKDA though, I love how she stood on one leg. I dont like that almost every other female in that game also had a stance where they stood on one leg.
