I can see them being friends, if not acquaintances during the events of MK2.

Kitana didn't have friendly relationship with Goro before MK4,because she thought (as everybody else) that he died in MK1 and because they were on Shao Kahn's side for many years,she thought he was evil until she learned all Goro cared was his people (Oh my God,how I hate Deception for ruining Goro,he had such potential to finally appeal to me,but NOOO...hate whoever who decided to put Goro in such stupid way)

oh yeah lol

We haven't gotten alot of info about Kitana just yet but, I'm already feeling like I don't care about her.

#1.) Her design is really letting me down even though I'm pretty sure I get the concept they seem to be delivering:

"Edenians are beautiful, half-naked women...because it's Edenia... as in, the Garden of Eden....where everybody is pretty much scantly dressed.... because it's Eden.... You 'member, Adam and Eve were naked too..yea, that's what we're goin' for."

Thing is, I'm only cool with that concept to a point. I appreciate them re-defining Edenia because I feel it really did need it. And in fact, I think the arena looks gorgeous if that's what I really saw. But, the point where I stop accepting this sort of concept for Kitana/Mileena/Jade is when parts of their history seem to be ignored.

I feel like there's a point where you're supposed to pull away from the ideal of the concept and become Mortal Kombat stand-alone, and I think they dove too far into this one as far as her design.

#2.) I could be wrong...hm... I probably am wrong based on what is actually in the game here but, Kitana was an assassin for Shao Kahn for at least 10,000 years, right? That means, ok, she was basically a kid when SK killed her real dad King Jarred, and took her away.

So... should'nt all those years of history reflect in the way she dresses? Would she even know how to effectively dress "Edenian" so to speak? I could understand if Kahn had her running around half naked as a woman but, this is supposed to be someone he probably views as his daughter. So I'm like, since we know Kahn is from Outworld, and he's had a pretty big influence on Kitana for most of her life, if she dressed scantly, shouldn't she instead dress more like an Outworld woman assassin?

How does she even know how to dress and behave according to royalty on Edenia, when she's been killing people or things for Shao Kahn for most of her life (10,000 or so years, give or take)?

This design doesn't make complete ...sense to me, but I think I get where they're trying to take her design from here on out.

her outfit is hot ass.

the end lol

Her outfit is DEFINITELY not more Hot-Ass than Mileena's ;)

Jade's outfit is the hottest ass in the game!

... Wait, that sounds wrong...

The whole time she was Khan's daughter, she was probably princess of Outworld as well as his assassin, so thats probably how she is dressed in this game. Shes got Outworld princess in this costume, her alternate will probably be khan's assassin, unless this is after she has liberated Edenia and shes in Edenian dress. We wont know for a couple more months unless they give us some info about her soon.

I've always wondered why Kahn would dress his supposed daughters the way he does.

But like Skyboy said I kind of think of Kitana as Princess of Outworld as well as an assassin. People say that Kahn never really cared for her or that he only saw her as a tool but IIRC it's mentioned that Kahn favored Kitana. How do you favor something/someone you don't care about? So obviously Kitana was getting some kind of treatment that others weren't.

Also since Outworld has a High Court that found Kitana guilty of treason for killing Mileena I think it somewhat implies that there is some type of weird Outworld hierarchy. It would explain why Kitana already has such diplomatic skills and such.

This. And I know I keep bringing this up, but y'all do see the way Kahn dresses, right? He wears less than Kitana. I'm guessing some outworld people don't wear much clothes either. I can see the girls' and Kahn's outfits being in the same line, Kitana's seems a little more polished *with the patterns and fabric*, but still the same...

SoaB! doublepost

I completely forgot about Kahn. Yeah he's practically naked as well. So are the Shokan. In fact the only native Outworld race that wears clothes are the Tarkatan and Li Mei's people and even than Li Mei had revealing alt. Actually Tanya didn't wear much either.

Yeah they're just naked lol.

I guess it must be hot in Outworld and Edenia... Would make sense...

Its fantasy

Kitana and Jade come from a place that is a paradise, a Garden of Eden-esque paradise, who would want to wear a lot of clothes there?

There should be more males from Edenia/outworld. Rain is obviously a misfit lol

I really like Kitana's new look; I never want to see ANY character look exactly like they did previously; never turn twards the past but move on, regardless how great it WAS!!!

For fatalities:
What's the first fatality that comes to mind with Scorpion = Toasty!
What happens when they take that away and give him 2 sword fatalities; FAN-DEMAND causes DLC Classic Fatalities/Costume
Notice all the Male-pallet swaps are getting these, now costumes are leaking for Jade/Mileena so maybe there's classic fatalities for the masked-ones or everyone :) before it's all over with.

Kitana's most iconic and recognizable fatality would definitely be her Kiss of Death: problem is, which should they use/which should they stay away from. I'd have to say that she'll probably get this as a DLC fatality in case some don't agree with how it turns out due to it being rather controversial like most Toasy-style fatalities have previously been, something tells me that since we seen her decapitation already and nobody's yet had both fatalities be fully-recycled with the exception of Kung Lao. I just hope they stay as far from the UMK3 version, MK2 version should be used but not inflate so big/ be realistic which actually still can happen and seem real/gory.

I'd say her other fatality will either be one of these 2 or a combination of both ideas, which have been hinted for YEARS:

Fan Lift a weakened/dissembowled torso
or
Stab the opponent with a closed fan in the mouth and open it 1/2-way decapitating the opponent at mouth level; could be the refered tongue that moves around they originally talked about that we have yet to see; 1/2 of it should blow away in Sindel's rumored fatality thanks to Lupinko so that one's more than likely not the scenario.

Those fatalities all sound awesome. The one with the fan opening inside the body would be my favorite. 3 fatalities would be awesome, even if her kiss of death was DLC. As for her kiss of death, I wouldn't mind if the opponent completely exploded or if it was just their head, as long as they don't float up lol...

Fan opens inside the body is an Epic idea!!
I'm really not interested in the Kiss of death! It better be in DLC.

i just wish kitana's outfit didnt show her abs...especially since they made her look very built...wouldve like something covering up that part, but the flappy thing :P or loin cloth is a nice addition.

The abs have grown on me, she doesnt look built, she is still very slim. The abs could have been slightly more subtle, but they make her look more toned.

Yeah, they kinda turned me off at first too, but I have gotten use to them. The first only time I really noticed was that pic released of Sonya kicking her, but I think they're fine.

lol i'll get used 2 it i guess, soooo any ideas 4 her alternate PLEEZ NO BUN!! i liked her MKvsDC ponytail :) it was pretty

OMG Jesus never spoke truer words *about the bun*! I'm hoping her alternate is more geared towards her assassin side, maybe a darker blue. With the hair, hopefully something similar to her DA hairstyle, but slightly updated.

i was hoping 4 something along the lines of her MKDA primary, i wouldnt be surprised if they gave her heels sooo yea :P but still oh & do u think she will have other costumes 4 DLC other than her retro, im probably not going 2 get that one since i was never fan of the bun, i'll only get it if its a pack with the other females like DLC for SSF4 :P

I love and adore Princess Kitana she's my number 1 female character of all time! She's so gorgeous and strong minded and has power inside and out! She looks great in this new MK! Can't wait to see her Retro Outfit!
