I think Reptile has a very good chance at being in MKX, I don't think he was one of the characters that died at the end of MK9.

If he returns, I'd like for him to look more human, but not completely human in a sense. More like how he looks like in that first trailer in MK Legacy where he's a human with that skin disease he was born with. I'd rather not see those big horned feet again he's been having since the last 4 games or whatever.
His Shaolin Monks design was my favorite, it has the bandages over his head which made him look unique and you could still see part of his monster looking face behind it with the mouth open and teeth showing. His outfit had that classic green ninja look with the "V" chest cloth and overalls. They should somehow bring back that design with a revamped look.

I love Reptile

Reptile is iconic its a character thats even been in the 1st MK, but i think there's a huge possibility that hes in.
Also Ermac aswell! Check this retweet he did on this dude's tweet;

RT @DavidCastArtist: @noobde finished this for ninjas! enjoyed drawing them & hope 2C them in the next game! pic.twitter.com/OvROT4S01T EB: Yes!

I definitely think hes in, would be very surprised if he wasnt. I hope for a return of the slime ball slow and fast, could get good combos off on that move, acid spit is too classic not to have. Didnt really use invisibility, didnt see the benefit of it but still would like it to be included. His since he doesn't have a teleport his slide should return.

I hope his combos get revamped with some of his acid attacks incorporated into button combos, thatd be cool. Reptile was one of the chars i used in MK9 but he was not my main. smoke and noob I was much better with.

I also would love to see some human skinnnn yaaa. But i wont be too butt hurt cuz i know it wont happen.

Fighting Styles of I hope a more upright and a steeper (almost like a sum of MK4 + MK9). Special Moves return of all of the MK9 MK4 + all + the two we saw that Story Mode (he protecting himself from projectiles with acid and one using the stock). Finally the last style I'd like to see him with claws and teeth (Maybe a tail).

I want him to have a fully reptilian design, like in MK:DA, with the tail. Said tail should factor in his gameplay. I suppose one of his variations could see him fight more like his classic human-like self, but I don't really care if they completely did away with his old self.

Hoping he returns, and with less of the lizard-ness. Maybe less of a bo-tard, too? I love Reptile, but he seems to just get dumber with each iteration. He seemed a little smarter in MK9, but who really knows, since he was given maybe 5 mins of screen time?

I mean, I understand some folks work behind the scenes, and some people are lackeys (big bad's gotta have minions, after all), but I miss the Reptile who seemed like an actual threat. He *was* Tsung's personal bodyguard for a reason, right?

Anyway, if he does make the cut, I'd love to see a variant for him that's quick and in your face. With an MK9 style dash to quickly close with your enemy? Remember how he was just relentless in the movie and gave Liu Kang absolutely no quarter? Yeah, wanna see *that* Reptile.

I do not know how the change can be abrupt appearance of a stance to another. If you can, I would like to represent each stance of its three evolutionary aspects.

I want the most lizardness possible. I find it rather dumb for him to be "Reptile" and still look rather human. Plus it would make sense story-wise. I don't think he has much of anything to hide anymore.

Well, I mean I don't mind some reptilian features (claws, scaled skin, ect), but I'd rather not have a Tyrannsaurous in green ninja-garb.

I liked the MK4 Reptile look the most and I hope he will return with that appearance.

Prediction: Nobody'll be happy with how Reptile looks. Nobody ever is.

Since Ed mentioned 'descendants', for some reason my gut's telling me we're going to get A Reptile...just not THE Reptile we're used to.

YES!

Thank you! This look needs to come back. There is no better appearance of Reptile than in MK4.

Agreed.

And I'm definitely open to the "descendent" notion pitched by Shadaloo

There was a sketch in MK:DA of a character called Tiamat, who was supposed to be the son of Reptile, if I'm not mistaken. But I hope that if you're right, that this descendant will be different enough. Unlike Sonya and Johnny, Reptile doesn't have to be as worried about old age, so no need for a successor, but then again, maybe he's a mortal, albeit one with a very lenghty life expectancy, and he's finally gotten too old to carry on.

I can't wait for him to have a chapter in Story Mode so he can kick Johnny Cage's ass :B

I don't wanna see those purple pants again. Ever!

I assume his three variations would dictate his style...

One human

One reptilian, but still human looking (MK4 type/MK SM type)

One full out lizard like (Think Lizard Man/ Riptor)

Is it canon that Reptile can change his form at will like that? I always thought him changing into a full reptile was a devolution kinda thing...

See? How can you deny this sexiness?

Reptile actually looks like the deadly warrior his bio states he is. This should've been his appearance from MK4 onward. The best thing about it is that it separates him from all other MK ninjas, much like what Ermac's Deception costume did for him.

He can't. However, if this game is going over 25 years, then variations based on his form might actually make sense.

Might make alt costumes a little difficult tho...

There!

Those purple pants were atrocious!

NO!

Those purple pants made him look awesome! It completely contrasts the green attire he has always been associated with. I think having his skin green instead was the best decision the character artists have ever made for Reptile.

Now if only they can go back to not making his clothes green too.

MK4 Reptile as a whole is atrocious. MKDA Reptile a best.
