Why?

She just bores me, I guess they could really make her cool. But I don't think they're just adding every character that has a relation to Shinnok, just because. I guess time will tell.

I wouldn't do anything new with Tanya's hair, personally. The Cleopatra look fits her so well as to be considered an "iconic" element of the character.


Can't forget her choker.

Am I the only one that cares that her debut voice comes back?

I loved it when she said, "Yaw my cigarette" during her cannon drill move, as well as "Ahh my blood" when hit.

I know nothing about Tanya and that surprises me. I like that she's one of the few dark skinned characters in the franchise because "Yay diversity!" but outside of that, she wasn't that memorable to me. Who knows though maybe she'll get a better chance to shine in MKX (provided she's in it).

That's basically how I see it, even the worst of the worst have a fanbase. If she gets revealed so many people are going to think she's a new character.

She was the most requested DLC for MK9. It would be no surprise at all if she is in the game.

I liked her since MK4. The one thing that really caught my attention was the fact that she had the Cannon Drill move like one of my other favourite characters, Cammy from Street Fighter. :P

But she also had a sense of sex appeal that hasn't been seen in MK before. Just that she makes kissy lips in her bio when spinning around like that, it gave her personality! Since then, I've always seen her as a seductive and treachorous vixen.

Her pose in the MKD render kinda strengthened that. She looks sexy and dark in that render, and her outfit was amazing! And in her bio she was in Edenia to find some ancient magic for Onaga so he could fuse the kamidogus, which gave me the impression of her having knowledge and maybe even studying alot of magical arts. And since then, I've also seen her as more of a sorceress type of character. That her special moves revolved around fire, her kicks even being aflame and that she got the "Find Me" move where she turned invincible kinda backed that up.

And though non-canon, her MKA ending where she gains the power to summon great dragon spirits "from the ether and into corporeal form" also strengthened the image of her being a sorceress.

Not to mention that her weapon style in MKD-MKA is one of my favourite ones, if not my number one favourite!

She might be a forgetable character to many, but she made an impression on me, enough to make her one of my favourite characters. Storywise, she doesn't have all that much going on for her, like most of the MK characters post-MK3, but I see a potential in her and I hope NRS does as well. ^^

Quoted for EPT = Extreme Powerful Truth. wink

Also I love that yellow/black coloration and the dark skin and mysterious shining eyes. She looks best of all females in my opinion.

I'd honestly be surprised if she didn't make it to be honest. Boon has already stated they discussed her inclusion in MK9 but she barely missed the cut, and she has a lot of requests to appear by fans. They have also said MK4 characters will appear. Yeah, I think she's highly likely.

I'm really curious as to how they will update her look from deception, since that look was pretty spot on perfect.

This is the the direction I feel they would go, tho I'm not sure how I feel about it.

^nice MK9ish homage to her MKD costume.

I liked all the female costumes from MK9, but for this game, I hope they go a little less cartoony.

One thing I noticed, if you go to nektopolis, I noticed it the most with the females, they have huge bodies and small heads. It's like the guy at the end of Beetlejuice. Anyone else notice this? All their bodies look the same too. I hope in MKX they are more individualized.

I want to find out Tanya was doing her entire life. Is she also the same age as Kitana and Jade?

Pants would be ok on Kitana, but would kinda send a clashing message on a character who breaks your neck with her vagina...

shocked?? Boon said so himself on twitter that she was almost included in MK9. It shouldn't be a surprising as she's the only mk4 character besides Quan chi to get a returning appearance after MK4... (MKA aside)

Kitana looks good early on in the movie when her hair is down and she is wearing the dress. The fighting attire I thought was hideous. While it was nicely done to make it more realistic for the movie. But they could have had more of an homage to her game costumes.

I just want Tanya to look good like in MKD. She doesn't need those weird white eyes though, why does she have those? None of the other Edenians have those eyes, except Sindel but she's undead or whatever.

I just assumed Shang took Tanya's soul when she started working for him. No one in MK has white eyes AND a soul so I just jumped to that conclusion.

I think the MK movie look is a pretty good real world version of the MKII look. The top and long gloves fit the aesthetic. I don't like it though.
