Fatalities are supposed to be gruesome, yes, but that doesn't have to mean they all have to be gory and I'm sure they could add in another little element to make a neck-snapping fatality disturbing but seriously, re-watching the fatalities from MK9, they are ALL so similar. There's only so many times I can watch both arms, legs and head get dismembered before it doesn't wow me anymore. Sure, the lead-up's were different but most of them ended the exact same way; an upper torso with no limbs and no head unless somehow the body exploded.

I would hardly call this a confirmation.

What if Tanya isn't evil this time?

Exciting to hear about Tanya,
I am just hoping for Reiko :)

Bahaha, I agree with a comment in that thread. The face doesn't look manly enough.

Jesus Christ please let that be her.

The ample amounts of beauty I just can't handle

If that is true, consider me a squeeling fanboy. :P

That looks so fake that I'm almost laughing. Almost.

Definitely not an MK portrait.

Its Penelope Cruz!!!!

That's the fakest thing, c'mon guys...

Considering the light around her isn't around anyone else's portraits yeah it probably is fake

But damn look at her though. NRS if this isn't your doing get the rights from whoever made it and put it on Tanya thanks

Can't wait for real Tanya news.

Will someone explain the manly looking joke to me? I simply just don't get it.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...hahahaha... haha... heh... WHOOOH... Haven't laughed like that in a long time...

er merh gerd yew gahsss

1st excloosive renderz of tanya

I'm dying.

The Diva...Loreen

Oh well, it was good for as long it lasted... I'd like for Tanya to have that hair though.

Holy crap she looks so lifelike

I thought Neathrealm Studios had learned their lesson and weren't going to be going over the top with the cleavage. Seriously you can almost see her boobs!

Anyway, fantastic render! Happy Lady T made the cut <3

OMG LMAO!!!

I like how if you go to IMBD now, they took that off of Jennifer Hale's filmography. That's a little suspicious, so I'mma go with that she is actually in the game... They obviously tryna hide the fact now!

The real question is: Will she be playable?

Aren't we supposed to get a shitload of cameos or something?

Tanya is one of my favourite MK characters and I really hope she will be a playable character in MKX, and therefore I wish to share some ideas with you guys and invite you to share your own ideas, do some brainstorming and such.

Appearance:
I'd like for her design to take inspiration from her MKD main outfit, as seen above, as that is my favourite look for her so far. The free-flowing hair with the sharp cut bangs, the dark make-up around her eyes, the corset-like top with the sarong-like cloth hanging from her hips... it just looks amazing, imo. The style is the same as the other Edenian women, but the design is her own.

Background Story:
I won't go into detail with the story though, as we know nothing about how the story will play out in MKX, but this is an example on how it could turn out.

Since Edenia was never freed, Tanya is still a resident of Outworld. We know there are Edenian freedom fighters, as mentioned in Rain's background story in MK9, so I could imagine Tanya being part of them to start with. However with the fascination of powerful magic, she would turn on her allies and join Shinnok as he and his Brotherhood of Shadows rises from the Netherrealm and takes over Outworld. She will then fight against the Earthrealm warriors, until she sees that Shinnok is losing, then turn her back on him...

Special Moves:
- Surging Blast: An eldritch fireball of dark flames hurled at the opponent.
- Human Cannon Drill: Tanya flips into a spinning arrow with her feet first, sweeping the opponent off his feet and up into the air.
- Knee Strike: Tanya jumps diagonally up in the air with a knee first which kicks the opponent up into the air.

Variations:
- Sorceress: Being a master of dark sorcery, Tanya uses her knowledge of magic to her defense. Adds these special moves:
+ Aerial Surging Blast: The fireball hurled diagonally downwards when Tanya is in the air.
+ Find Me: Tanya vanishes in dark flames and turns invisible for a short duration of time or until she is hit by the opponent.
+ Eldritch Orbs: Tanya conjures two orbs of dark fire which spins around her for a short duration of time and hurt the opponent if hitting her with any punch or kick. Projectiles and other non-physical hits are not affected by this.

- Backstabber: Trained in the arts of Kobu Jutsu, Tanya wields her Tonfa Blades to battle. Adds Tonfa Blades into her fighting style.
(In case you don't know what I mean by Tonfa Blade, click HERE!)

- Edenian Warrior: Tanya has trained alongside the best Edenian Warriors and specializes in stylish kicks. Adds these special moves:
+ Split Flip Kick: In a forward somersault Tanya makes a split kick and crushes her heel down into the ground which knock the opponent out.
+ Spinning Flip Kick: Tanya spins forward and does a helicopter kick hitting the opponent two times. (Kinda like Chun Li's Spinning Bird Kick from Street Fighter)
+ Downward Spiral Kick: While in air, Tanya makes a diagonal downward Human Cannon Drill. Can be used after Knee Strike for a combo.

(Note: I did not like her using a boomerang as she did in MK4, so I chose not to have it be part of her moveset.)

X-Ray Move:
- Neck Breaker: Tanya jumps up and sits on her opponent's shoulder, then twists his head around 180 degrees, snapping his neck. She then falls back into a handstand on the ground and pulls the opponent with her into a Frankensteiner which crushes the opponent's skull into the ground. (A tribute to her MK4 throw)

Fatalities:
- Deadly Kiss: Tanya walks over and gives the opponent a kiss on his cheek. It has no effect, but instead she starts snapping every limb on the opponents body, starting with the arms, then the legs and finally snaps his neck. (A tribute to her MK4 fatality)
- Eldritch Flames: Tanya conjures a pillar of fire where the opponent stands, burning the flesh from his bones and leaves a charred corpse. (This is boring, I know, but I am out of ideas for now...)

...

I really hope that Ed Boon and NRS will put Tanya into the roster, and with what we've seen from MKX so far, I am positive that they will do a great job with her! :D

Kool if true. Excited to see an updated Tanya with her own unique look/fighting moves.



Nice job! I'd definitely want to see an updated version of her MKD "Rip out opponents leg bones and stab them with them" fatality/Hara Kiri though.
