I guess MK2 on the basis that it's, by the slimmest of margins, the least retarded.

MK2 Jade

Deception Alt.

MKT Jade.

The costume suited her much more than Kitana and Mileena. Plus, it offers tons of nastolgia, which I love to dabble in.

The exotic beauty and unique look that her Deception primary brings gets my vote.

The Deception Primary (which gets my vote) depicts Jade's elegance as a fighter and demonstrates her ninja feel more, however skimpy it may be. They're all good, but the MKD primary just screams JADE more than any other to me.

Oh yeah, I forgot to say...



I can't help but "lol" whenever I see this pic, WTF is going on with Kitana and Mileena there? They look so retarded. I know MKSM didn't have the most brilliant cutscene graphics, but this... lol

Jade's MKD alternate ohh boy yes

Deception Alternate. It's a more faithful update to her classic costume without the tacked on sex, gold and nonsensical loin cloth.

Votes for Jade are as such:
MKD alt 3 votes WIN
MKD pri 2 votes
MKII 2 votes
MKT 1 vote
MKSM 1 vote
MK9 pri 0 votes
MK9 alt 0 votes

I knew that was going to cause a little storm. So on to the next: Jarek. First appeared in MK4, and later of course in MKA.

MK4/gold


MKA primary


MKA alternate


So, bit of a lacklustre character (and costume) when he first debuted, copying Kano's moves and all. I liked him a ton when he got his MKA moves with the rope and detailed costumes, the alt being the 'update' with the BD symbol transferred from vest to front flap. Still the orange and green clash never made sense to me, even though it's nice and striking (like his axe). I'm going with MKA primary though, for the reasons that: both MKA outfits have good hair, and the dark red armour stuff really sells 'badass warrior' with the tatty front flap of the alt doing the same but slightly less so.

I like the MKA outfit, too bad they gave it to the worst character

I vote for his MK4 costume.

The other two are just horrible.

MKA Primary

I do like his Alternate though.

MK4. Not that it's good, but at least it kinda fits him. The other two look overdesigned and ugly.

When there's so many details you can't make out what they are or why they're there, in a game where the graphics really aren't high-rez enough to get away with covering leather armor in weird belts and buttons and carvings, you're probably making a mistake.

MKA primary... All 3 are forgettable though...

MKA Alternate.

But his MK4 look suits him more, though.

And this two days concludes voting for Jarek!
MKA pri 3 votes WIN
MK4 2 votes
MKA alt 1 vote


I've had to disregard your vote. When I make assumptions it isn't fair. There were 2 MKA costumes. please specify which look you want in future.

so next, to one of the biggest (in terms of size and importance) characters in the whole of MK's history, the beefy Maj. Jax Briggs!!

MKII


MK3


MK4/G


MKSF (yes, it has to be included)


MKDA/U/A primary


MKDA/U/A alternate


MKSM


MKvsDC


MK9 primary


MK9 alternate
Hmm, so many to choose from... this won't be easy. I thought he was ugly in the MKDA era 3D games, and it wasn't until he got the metal arms that he really felt like he was unique in some way as a fighter in this universe. In MK9 we have a choice between metal arms or stab vest (looking thing) but in MKvsDC we get both and a neat little beard. I didn't mind the purple of the earlier costumes, but I feel the more modern games' muted tones suit better. I'm voting for MKvsDC, for the detail and adherence to character.

When it comes to the costume itself, I like his MKvsDC and MK2011 alt pretty much the same. However metal arms are a must for me when it comes to Jax, it's his trademark, so I'm voting MKvsDC.

Quote this for my vote.

I'll go for the MK9 primary.

The face design suits him so very well, imo. He looks like a pissed off soldier, and it matches the costume.

MK9 Primary

MKDA Alternate.

I really like his MKSM and MKDC costumes, though.

I've gotta go with MK9 primary, he never looked so badass in my oppinion.

Sorry about the lateness, haven't had a chance to get to internet lately.

So votes for Jax look like this:
MKvsDC 3 votes TIE
MK9 primary 3 votes TIE
MKDA alt 1 vote
MK9 alt 0 votes
MKDA pri 0 votes
MKSM 0 votes
MKSF 0 votes
MK4 0 votes
MK3 0 votes
MKII 0 votes

So next up is one of the all-time greatest characters of all time and one of my all time favourites: Johnny Cage!

MK


MKII


MK4/G


MKSM


MKDA primary


MKDA alt


MK9 pri


MK9 alt


My thoughts: Johnny's look never changed too much until the MKDA era. This is when we first see his personality first start to really come through in the costume. I loved what they made in the new game, especially how he's egotistical enough to get his own name as a tat, but i preferred the subtlety of the dragon on his back and the lion belt buckle, so i'm voting MKDA primary. It's different enough from the original, but still pretty close.

Damn, Johnny sure lacks diversity when it comes to costumes. I'm gonna go with his MK2011 alt.
