Someone has probably noticed this before, but I had always figured Mileena's teeth were so huge and disfigured that no matter what, it'd be hard to hide them without her mask. However, when I went back to play UMK3 and preformed the fatality where she kisses you then sucks you up, I noticed that her face looks perfectly normal, just like Kitana's. It isn't until she smiles and sucks you up that she looks ugly. I never really paid attention before and found that interesting.

Has this been well known before? The impression I always got was that everyone thought Mileena couldn't hide her ugliness without the veil. It's pretty easy to assume that though, since most of the time when she is unmasked, she's smiling and all we see are her Tartakan teeth (Clearly her mouth isn't quite built like theirs though..).

Anyway, she'd actually be hot, as long as her mouth was shut.

The reason you see that is again with UMK3 and MKT the reuse of the ninja sprites. I know in one of the supplemental videos on MK Deception Boon says that the animations were limited or something along those lines which is why you see Kitana's kiss of death "kiss" pose. The teeth were just drawn in at the end.*

Loosely based off of Mileenas MK D supp. video.

You can also see it in Mileena's MK2 fatality. For a split second when she takes her mask off she looks exactly like Kitana, then when she turns it's the Baraka mouth.

I think it's just because of the sprites and because they only drew Mileena's mouth on, like SubZero187 said.

Because in Deception she seems to have the Tarkatan mouth at all times, smiling or not.

I figured it was probably because most of the sprites were just recolors, but I wasn't positive. Still, if they went through the trouble of drawing Mileena's mouth at the end of her fatality, why didn't they do it for the begining? It couldn't have been that hard.

As for Deception, I couldn't tell if she was smiling or not, at least in the begining of the fatality. She looks happy when she bites your head off, so I assumed she was grinning the whole time. I could be wrong, since I never got a good chance to look at her.
