The Reiko and Mileena combo actually makes sense in a lot of ways.

He was Kahn's general, and she was his heir.

So there's one side of the civil war. Other side could be Kotal/D'Vorah.

There's also the possibility of a Tarkatan/Shokan uprising or rebellion. Which would put Mileena in a very volatile situation. I'm all for that, because if she's still like MK9 Mileena, then she has got to do some growing up to make these tough decisions. It's the classic "nurture" vs "nature" scenario for her.

It's a step in the right direction for Mileena.


This completely. I want to see her not just slutty and creepy, I want to see her fighting for the throne, I wanna see her get ruthless, I wanna see her fuck some people up. I wanna see just how crazy Mileena can get. And I think Reiko fits in nicely there, whether he's playable or just in the background like Motaro, he could act as her enforcer, getting shit done, making plans of attack.

I like it.

Lol sure thing. Stereotypes alive and kicking around these parts. If its not for comic relief, blame it on the diversity cliche.

Yes! I'm glad it's fairly unanimous with the fans that her personality in MK9 was painful...and not in a good way. That, and her retconned origin story. Awful things. It makes sense for her to be an enchantress/seductive beauty, but playing the "coy" card could also majorly benefit her. She doesn't have to be so "in your face" with it ALL the time.

One of my biggest "oh god" moments in MK9 story mode was right after the second tournament (Kang-holed Kahn). The part where all the baddies are in the throne room discussing who should take Kahn's place. MILEENA DOESN'T EVEN SPEAK! You'd think she'd pipe up and say "Umm it's ME bitches! Ya gotta problem with that? " But no, Baraka was her backbone for that.

I'm not too worried though. We can already tell that NRS learned from their mistakes and has listened to the shitstorm from fans. (Note: cleavage, unnecessary hair, face models, ect) I really think MKX Mileena will be a whole different Mileena. Which is fantastic.

As for Reiko, I'm guessing he's sided with Outworld permanently, and won't be helping Shinnok. Pure speculation, but that's the way it looks to me so far. And if that's the case, Tanya's usefulness to Shinnok just doubled. EDIT: Also, about Mileena and Reiko and the reigns for Outworld....Rain. Rain. RAIN! Something tells me he isn't going to take this laying down. He obviously feared Shao Kahn, but I can't see him being afraid of Mileena or Reiko. Or even Kotal really, but then again we're still not sure on the extent of his powers. I've got a funny feeling we'll be seeing Rain again. Hence Boon's slightly cryptic answer to Rain's inclusion. Which is AMAZING! grin

omg. seriously you guys? I love you all. Thank you for your insights.

Mileena is such a great female villain. I just want to see her be evil, cunning, treacherous and ambitious for that throne. I want to see her as Tyrant Queen of Outworld. Someone that you absolutely can't trust, but at the same time...is a huge asset. I loved her in Mortal Kombat Deception. She HAS to return.

Mileena is well equipped with the ASSets for the job, but we must appreciate the best female in MKX, design wise, if Mileena stays gone forever. Kitana.

Nice! Mileena's costume looks really cool. I like.

I'm shocked that even she is covered up, NRS really has stepped it up this time. (Assuming she's in the game and this is her costume)

The costume has elements of Kitana's new costume like the arm piece but is also unique. No breasts hanging out and even her mid-riff area is covered by a cloth or sash. This is awesome! I could actually see someone fighting in this.

Only thing is her teeth and actually, her whole face looks strange. Her nose seems extremely pointy and her eyes are like a creepy dolls. It might just be the drawing in this particular panel though.

Also, Reiko is cool. I hope he's in, I doubt it though sad

She was actually a mature woman in Deception. Cunning, smart, capable of making authoritive choices. It was a good time. Best depiction of her to date...although MKX might also ruffle some feathers! Or better yet...top Deception.
