Concerning MK's most popular characters, it would be a good/great idea to keep the ninja palette swap of the characters from MK1 because of the following reasons. 1. It would be more cost effective by saving creative energy and time in investing varying looks for the characters. 2. The characters would look closer to an authenic epic ninja in ancient Japan. 3. Being that the characters are the most popular characters within the roster, they would look more realistic to martial art fighters and warriors in their default costume. They would be consistent to the look of what the traditional garments are used for. So I would hope that in the final consideration of the roster and their presentation of the characters they would consider going with the MK1 ninja palette swap for all the male ninja characters including Smoke. To maybe some other varying ninjas such as Rain or Hydro, it would be suggested that their garments would be modeled after the G.I. Joe Cobra Ninja Collectible Dolls...just in a purple color scheme for Rain and a royal blue color scheme for Hydro. This would allow some of the other ninja characters to set apart their looks from the rest of the male ninja characters that are involved in the video game being that some would have the same color scheme and that they are multiple ninja characters existing.

The original palette-swaps tend to be alternate unlockables anyway.

As for those being their ONLY costumes, don't you remember the game getting flack for the palette swapping back in the day? (I mean, WE loved the silliness of it, but it was pretty lazy....and would be moreso today)

I wouldn't suggest that they are the ONLY costume although I would preferr that idea. Taking in to account that people would go for different looks, I would suggest that they be their DEFAULT costume and that alternate looks or variations of their uniform be unlockable in various gaming modes or accomplishments. That way you keep the nostaligia of the original ninja look while also offering alternate and more comtemporary looks for newer fans of the game.

I'm not suggesting that the ninja palette swap from MK1 be the only option. I'm suggesting that they be the DEFAULT option of the characters and the various alternate costumes and looks be offered up as unlockable costumes in various gaming modes. That way you force the video game player to have to EARN the alternate and comtemporary looks for the various characters. I don't think there's anything wrong with making the original costumes the DEFAULT look for the characters.

What's wrong with that? People hardly come onto these forums anymore, I'd rather see the old threads get bumped.

As for the topic:

To be honest, I don't want them. Mainly because of several reasons:

They're not ninjas, and I cannot tell you how many times I've expressed this as well as other users. They're not ninjas, sure they were probably thought up as them back in the past, but now that we've gotten more details about them throughout the years, we've established that only Scorpion is that very ninja. The others are not.

I'd rather see new costumes for these characters rather than having them wear the same thing over and over again because it's always nice to see something different for a change.

I don't really think having Ermac, Noob, Smoke, Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Rain, Reptile, and possibly Chameleon dress the same would bring a serious tone. The game has a serious tone already, costumes aren't really the cause of that though.

So, that's my two cents on the whole thing.

I would love it if they simplified the outfits. Just because you have the technology to make elaborate costumes does not mean you should. Give me Ryu and his plain White Karate Gi anyday over all of that crap that Scorpion and co. are hauling around.
