I know a lot of Tanya fans will be disappointed but honestly, I don't think her chances of being in MKX are very good.

-Kitana, for starters. Tanya was originally a Kitana-rip off character who used a boomerang like Jade, and unlike other palette swaps like Ermac, she hasn't really "evolved" through recent games. Plus, with Kitana's Mournful variation, she wouldn't have much of a move-set to herself, since Kitana has picked up the boomerang move too.

-With characters like Cassie Cage, D'Vorah, and maybe Jacqui, it seems like NRS would be better suited to focus on these new females, not to mention make room for other new characters.

-Tanya was more in service to Shinnok during the "Netherrealm Wars" and since the comics are skipping over that, I don't imagine we will be seeing much of it in the game either, especially since it would be pointless to focus on such a small part when half the roster doesn't even belong in that timeline or have not been confirmed yet (like Sonya or Cage)

-Mileena seems to be one of the big bads (especially females) in the comics and possibly the game, so I doubt there would be room for Tanya to make an appearance. It would seem natural for her to be siding with Reiko but he has a thing for Mileena, apparently.

-There are just too many characters that are more deserving of the spot who would actually be integral to the story (like Fujin) than Tanya, who has always just been another sneaky underling.

I feel like this for Shinnok as well. Just be patient though the roster is nearing. We'll know soon enough. And if not. We can hope for DLC to bring these characters in. Don't forget we had a lot of females in Deception. Kira, Ashrah, Li Mei, Jade, Tanya. There's hope.

- Tanya is not only a boomerang character, she has a lot of other moves and they can even create original moves for her because she knows Black Magic.

- Bad reasoning for why she wouldn't be in, doesn't make a lot of sense not to bring old females because there are new females.

- Tanya isn't just a Shinnok let's invade character, she has different stories. especially her character because she is a character that goes with the strong side and have no problem with backstabbing.

Plus Shinnok will be back. mark my words, Crossroads map points a lot to Shinnok because it reminds me of that one mission in MKA when Taven goes to the Netherrealm.

I can assure you Shinnok is not out of this game just yet.

-Baraka hasn't showed up yet and he showed be there at either Kotal's side or Mileena's side.

Just because Tanya is not there yet doesn't mean she won't show up sooner or later.

look at Ferra/Torr they are in the game and are supposed to be in the comics but we heard nothing about them yet.

You made some good points but all of them can be counter-argued(Yes this is a word :D).

I'm starting to feel this way too. But hoping against hope.

I don't understand why people say she is a rip-off of Kitana. The only thing that remotely resembles her in any way is Tanya opens her fatality with a kiss. It suits her much better anyway. So is Kitana a rip-off of Sonya then? She had her square wave punch and kiss to introduce a fatality in her debut. Faulty logic to talk a character down, imo. Also, her boomerang is not a rip off of Jade. If anything, jades projectile evolving to have boomerang like qualities is a "rip off" of Tanya.

Otherwise, I like your thoughts and analysis. I just wanted to provide countrrarguments to your claim that she's a rip off, as I disagree grin

In the old timeline, Tanya survives the Netherrealm War and goes on to aid the DA and Dragon King.

So until stated otherwise by NRS, it's still truth.

Tanya will make the cut. Don't you worry!

I think she has a good chance.

This tweet shows they were seriously considering her for MK9. They know she is a highly requested character to return. Now with Jade being cut from the game, Tanya may be the female to take her spot. Don't rule out Tanya just yet.

I hope not, I'd rather have a new character than Tanya to be honest.

Tanya is the only female or edenian who knows black magic. She should be in. This series does have a lack of sorceresses.

I don't know why people think that the Nether Realm was isn't going to be a focus of the games. It's obviously not a focus of the comics for a reason. Plus, we're going to have to see how characters like Kung Lao and Kitana got revived. MK9 played through three "arcs," and I'm guessing so will MKX: The Nether Realm War, The Rise of Kotal, and the Fall of Kotal.

Tanya was the lone female on team Shinnok. Why wouldn't she reprise her roll? As a Tanya fanboy, I'll admit that her chances are about 50/50, but I'm optimistic. Besides, MKX could use a few more bad girls on the roster.

I don't really see her chances being slim since we see Reiko in the comics. He may have her be one of his lackeys on the story mode.wink

LMAO. I am NOT impressed with this thread.

Tanya is an unbothered, epik, elusive Edenian. A yellow legend.

Tanya almost appeared in MK9, despite the fact that she is not a Trilogy kharakter whatsoever. That goes to show you how great she is. glasses

Fingers krossed for Tanya. smile

Oops, I changed my mind.

But now, this will be my last post in this thread. This one right here.

*Maria_Linda shrugs, drinks her tea with her fingers krossed for Tanya*

Before I truly exit this thread, I remind you all that Tanya has a chance.
She was ALMOST in MK9. Yes, indeed. Ed Boon and his Mortal Kombat buddies KLEARLY like the kharakter.

TBH the douchebag part of me really hopes Tanya only makes it in as pre-order DLC. I would find it amusing to watch people bitch about the ethics of pre-order content, while giving in over the obsession of a mediocre character.

I am an asshole, I know.
