Haha come on man you really are nitpicking now. I get where you're coming from since you like Tanya but that's just how they designed her outfit. I'm sure she will look 10 times better when the game ships but no reason to complain about such small details.
I am not particularly fond of Mileena's pants but it's a new look for her and I like that they took some time to rethink and redesign her costumes' aesthetic after so many years. Plus after I saw her gameplay, I was totally sold so I'm sure in a few months from now you'll be like "Damn I really was nitpicky back then. She is effin awesome after all" :P


nah, i'm pretty sure i won't like it at all even after a few months from now and i am praying they give the DLC characters an alt costume this time around so i won't be forced to use it.

you didn't like her pants? different strokes i guess but i liked them alot. Probably makes her look like a roly poly / armadillo when she does her roll lol. In fact, I never once felt Mileena's new look had any faults. Everything about it is great. I've liked it since it first appeared in the comic. and the new mouth is bad ass.

Mileena has been my other main since MK2 and there hasn't been a Mileena costume i've disliked besides her UMK3 one.

Kitana's costume was also amazing and i was really happy that they finally made her look like an assassin. and this is coming from someone who doesn't use her.

And since Tanya is associated with the other three edenian chicks (in Mileena's case, half-edenian) , i thought she would get a high quality design too but in the end it turned out to be really uninspired and bland. A cheap cleopatra cosplay as commenters have called it. There is almost no semblance of her old identity seen here where as with Shinnok and Quan Chi you can still recognize things about them from MK4 and past games. Tanya almost looked like a new person (her skin color isn't even the same!). Its as if they added new egyptian inspired things to her but forgot to add aspects of her old design that everyone knew her for from the games she was in. i see so much wrong with it down to the colors and accessories.

I do feel justified in not liking any of it (including the smallest of details) despite her being my other fav and wanting her in.

but i will say i do like some things about the new Tanya look. The gloves and the intimidating eyes (which are no longer white) covered in black mask-like makeup. Yeah thats about it....

Thanks hun! All Props goes to Minion!grin

And I also wasn't really sold on Mileena's look. Took a while to get used to her wearing pants, but she actually looks great! It's a change for her! And omg, I love her new mouth!grin

Ahem.

I'm so-so on Tanya on how she appears before us now. But then again, I can't really make a detailed evaluation due to both the lighting in the trailer and only seeing the top half of her costume.

I would have liked to see her with long hair, like in Deception, but NRS seems to have gone out of their way to not give any characters long hair this time around, save for Sindel's revenant model, due to the likelihood of it being difficult to animate (they did a great job with Jade's loose ponytail in MK9, though, imo).

That all said, I do wish they would've opted for a different short hairstyle. They got quite creative with Kitana's hair, I'm sure they could've skimmed some hair style references and opted for something a touch less....bland...for Tanya.

I'm glad they brought back the dark eye makeup. Evil girl needs evil eye shadow.

That's all I can really say on it now. I'm generally pleased with it. But there are other factors we don't know: the bottom half of her costume, how her colors will actually look in the game's lighting, variation-specific alterations, and her combat stance. All pretty important in evaluating the character's overall aesthetic.
