I don't think you can...she first made her appearance in Mortal Kombat 4...

I think Tanya was just a word in the coding of the game in reference to Ed Boon's sister. I don't think she was in it or anything. Kinda like if the word Jesus was in the coding of MK:D, doesn't mean he's a SU.

no, Tyrnax has seen the glitch. also, someone hacked MK2 (I think it was Tyrnax again) and she's in there somewhere too. Ermac is in MK2 as well, he even has win text.

PS- Jesus is an SU, beat the game 3 times... with a bat... then go to orderrealm, hop on your left foot 4 times, then make Shujinko do the same, then punch Mokap until he does too.

Geez, people just can't wait...


Shang Tsung glitches will be a big part of the next video.

I guess if you wanted to make up a name for a character who's costume ends up being yellow it could be Tanya. I just see it as a glitched up Jade costume.

That's correct, nothing in that picture indicates Tanya. It's a yellow Kitana, so what.

I think the point is that is supposed to be a yellow jade. the whole thing was a glitch, not a real removed character like thing.

Very good people's....

Yet that picture of Player 2 Scorpion darkended in EGM is Ermac right? Right? It's gotta be Ermac cause it says ERMAC WINS right on the screen in completely out of contrast letters and he's red.

That is in fact glitched Shang Tsung pallet over Jade, however, it is closer to being Tanya than there ever was an Ermac in MK1 lol.

Case closed.

Re: jlacroix's post in the other thread.
Don't even start to try to be a tough guy, reach your 100 visits and be done with it.

Matt

yep, i agree that this one is closer to Tanya, than Ermac in mk1.

How could it possibly be closer than Ermac was in the EGM pic? At least that said "Ermac Wins" and isn't someone slapping a name on a nameless pallette swap. This yellow Kitana is a nameless glitch. It's really cool, don't get me wrong, but come on. :)

Well again, it's a joke, it's not really Tanya, but it's actually real, as opposed to be Ermac in MK1.

Matt

Well for one thing, this picture features a character that is actually an unusual color in game. The EGM picture is of a normally colored Scorpion. It just so happens that either the picture or the scan of the picture was darkenned (you can tell because the banners in the background have been darkened as much as scorpion has). I would guess it was a glossy picture scanned with a low quality scanner. The glossiness would do weird stuff like that to the colors.

So that ends up being a badly added name slapped onto plain old scorpion. Pretty sad.

I only saw the glitch, and ended up snapping a picture of it. I didn't hack into the game. To MK2Kung Broken that is one way to see Tanya, but have you also seen her on the Select Screen? I have. It too was a glitch. Just wandering.

Trynax, seeing her on the select screen is the result of a MAME pallet corruption, not an actual game glitch. If you play a match and win as Shang Tsung for P1, the next time the select screen comes up Kitana will have Shang's Pallet (ie: fake Tanya). If you move the highlighter off her, then back, she will be blue Kitana. If this is the method you are referring to, it doesn't meet the requirements by which the mentality of a good number of people on a site like this would perceive to be a hidden character. The
"Tanya" I provided however is 100% reproduceable and falls into the category of a hidden character that EGM's Ermac does, only it's real. It's not Tanya, it's not a "SU", it's just a glitch, that actually works. If you have another way to do it, let me know. PM me about it if possible.

Here's one example of what a majority of people have at one time believed to be Ermac without any actual proof, and what "Yellow Kitana/Mileena/Jade" actually is:

Ermac:
Special, reproduceable method of unlocking the character through gameplay, Scorpion's name in the energy bar, red costume. (not real)

"Tanya"
Special, reproduceable method of unlocking the character through gameplay, Shang Tsung's name in the energy bar, yellow costume. (real)

Matt

I know how to get her that way too. I was just asking if you had seen the glitch in MAME that makes that happen. You of course have. That's all I was wandering.

The reason I think the Ermac glitch in MK1 is more relevant than Tanya in UMK3 is only because his name is present as Ermac and Tanya's name is not. I am not saying that proves Ermac's existance, but I personally believe Ermac was an unintended mistake taken too far. I've had alot of MK fanatics I grew up with *claim* that the glitch in question happens when Shang Tsung transforms into Scropion in MK1 (Arcade Version), although I've not seen it. On SNES Shang Tsung's Scorpion is red like that sometimes but the name remains Scorpion so it doesn't mean anything probably.

But there is no picture where Scorpion appears abnormally red. THere is a picture of the screen where the whole screen is darkened. I could put Rain in MK2 by adjusting the tint of my TV that way, lol. And also, that picture has the text placed in a way the game does not do. It is not in the same place on the screen as it is when it announces the winner of any other match ever, its just a funny little hack someone probably did in a few minutes.

I remember turning down the tint on my tv and telling my friends I found the code to play as Reptile.

The only reason the Ermac thing means anything to me is because one of the developers confirmed it.

Yeah you also have to take into account that Ermac in MK1 wasn't real, neither was Red Scorpion, it was just a joke through and through. None of it ever happened, not even the ERMACS glitch, just plain and simple joke so there's not even a basis to make a statement. This perfectly palletized female ninja however is real, and according to MKonline logic (not my own), it makes her a new, hidden character. lol
