First I want to apologize about how sucky they look. XD
I am not a master sprite- or animation maker. However, I was inspired by FrozenWorm's thread where he's done some great animations. In a thread I made on the Mortal Kombat (2011) forum, I encouraged people to write down their ideas of giving the characters additional special moves. As an example I suggested that Jade would get a handstand spin kick.
You can see the thread here:

Anyways, I felt like actually giving Jade such a handstand spin kick move, and it evolved into me doing several other animations. I've made my own versions of her old moves as well as added another special move (inspired by Frost89's words), so I played around with some sprites and animations and this is the result:
Razor-Rang: I made the "boomerang" triple-bladed and gave it a green trail.
Blazing Nitro Kick: Instead of having her glowing and smoking green, I made it like her MKD version with a green trail instead.
Sliding Nitro Kick: Here's a variation of the Blazing Nitro Kick, but a slide instead.
Diving Nitro Kick: And another variation, this time an aerial dive kick.
Rapid Nitro Kick: This one is inspired by Chun Li's Lightning Kick from Street Fighter. (Gave it some more variation of kicks)
Flying Nitro Kick: Just a simple straightforward flying kick with a green trail.
Thrusting Nitro Kick: This is inspired from Cammy's Cannon Spike from Street Fighter series.
Dodging Shadows: Instead of flashing like crazy, being a hazard to people with epilepsy, I toned it down to fading into green and back again.
Vanishing Winds: Instead of having her spin around in green smoke, I made her vanish in a green flash and appear behind the opponent, making an axe heel kick, like Kitana in MKvsDCU.
Vanishing Winds (2): This looks more like her actual Vanishing Winds move, and with an added axe heel kick. Up to you to decide which one looks the best. ^^
Vanishing Winds (3): Regular Vanishing Winds with no axe heel kick, and a tad faster.
Aerial Vanishing Winds: And here's a variation of Vanishing Winds where Jade reappears in the air and makes the axe heel kick.
Backflip Kick: After Frost89 suggested this move, I couldn't help but making it. :P (I've edited it to make the landing look a bit cooler and tweaked it to go less towards and more upwards instead)
Backflip Nitro Kick: I've made a new variation of the backflip kick with a green trail this time. You decide which looks best. ;)
Handstand Spin Kick: This was the first animation I made, and the most difficult one to make as well. I think it turned out well though. :)
Aerial Spin Kick: The Handstand Spin Kick, but without the handstand. It appears alot more Chun Li'ish this time around and I think the animation looks smoother on this one as well.
Cannon Drill: This is Tanya's special move, and also the special move of one of my other favourite characters, Cammy from Street Fighter. Thought I'd make it for Jade as well.
Kinetic Staff Slam: Inspired by her AOE attack from MK: Shaolin Monks where she jumps up and slams her staff into the ground.
Ultra Combo/Brutality: I am a big fan of the Killer Instinct series and I think that game has the coolest combo-gameplay. One of the finishing combos is called an Ultra Combo, somewhat like MK's Brutality. Here's one for Jade and it's supposed to be a 20 hit combo - the Backflip Nitro Kick gives three hits in this. (A big file, so give it time to load)
Ultra Combo/Brutality 2: A variation of the above Ultra Combo, but with the new Aerial Spin Kick instead of the Handstand version. (A big file, so give it time to load)
Double Fan Throw: This is Jade using Kitana's fans and throwing them at the opponent. I will at a later point turn the fans' colour into brass to match the ones Jade uses in MK2. ^^
Green Touch Fatality: Inspired by Jade's fatality in the old Mortal Kombat card-game. Again using Kitana's fans, but will change it to brass soon enough. You can see the card here:
Sindel Flying: By request of GauntletStorm I made a little Sindel animation of her flying up and vanishing.
Mileena Sai Slam: By request of Mileenaownz12345 I made a Mileena animation of her jumping up and then slamming her sais into the floor.
Johnny Cage's Flash Punch: By request of FrozenWorm I made a Cage animation of him doing a special move like Flash from MKvsDCU.
I hope you guys like it. ^^
(Thanks to FrozenWorm for allowing me to use some of his sprites in some of my animations. ^^)

Oh, if he could make this animation even better and smoother, I would be ecstatic. :P
I love his animations.

I've actually thought of that as well, however, both Cage and Scorpion has a backflip kick, so I'm not sure if it would be cool if she got one too.
She already has one of Cage's moves (the Blazing Nitro Kick), so taking yet another would just seem cheap.

That's too bad

In that case I'd love to see her do more cool athletic attacks with her stick, like maybe using it as leverage to do a vertical kick or something? Jade has so much untapped potential as a fighter

Just for you, I made this cute little animation. Hope you like it. ;P

I always thought Jade needed a special involving her staff. Something like Goku does in DBZ Budokai, she takes it out, it extends and smashes the opponet in the face, or chest giving her some distance. Not sure how to execute that with sprites though. At least it'd be a challenge! :D

I need some inspiration. I don't know what other moves would fit Jade.
I'm thinking of making her spinning staff combo from UMK3 into a charging move animation, but that's about it.

I really like the Vanishing Winds Axl Kick! Very nice idea and she should definitely have a move like this.
Good job and keep 'em comin!

I'm not really into the whole staff-extending idea. Goku from DBZ was inspired by the chinese legend of the Monkey King who had a staff that could extend, and I don't want Jade to be inspired by a monkey. XD
However, I think I have an idea how to execute something alike... I'll try and see what I can do.

I wasn't really planning to do any Sindel animations, only Jade ones. The one I've made was a simple one for GauntletStorm. ^^
