Touche to some degree. Non-Ninja characters have traditionally had fairly changing costume colors (Shang, Jonny Cage, Kano, etc.) However, Ninja characters traditionally never change their primary color scheme. This is primarily due to the fact, that there is more room to play with non-ninja characters and still have them recognizable, there is almost zero chance of changing a ninja's color scheme without changing the chacrter in the players sub counsious. Think about this. Everyone recognizes Sub-Zero as blue. If he were suddenly beige or Red he would in essence be a very new character and wouldnt feel right. However, a Character like Kano is recognized by his eye, so no one really cares if his suit is black or white, he still has that kano feel. All ninja RELY on their classic colors to keep them identified as those characters. Having a brown sektor, a gold jade, a blue scorpion or a red reptile would be illogical.
The character in the picture is obviously Jade. She will not be on the main roster, but will likely be an unlockable character, as she is in the prison. Having a Jade Green Tanya, with green Jade stones on her arm, and dark skin is in my opinion pointless. A green tanya is jade except for name and fluff.
Im suprised that people are even willing to accept that they took a well known yellow character like tanya and gave her the perfect color scheme of another well known green character, jade.
IF we saw a screenshot of a green ninja, would we assume its scorpoin, because they have looked similar in previous games?
