I think Smoke has been overdone....

The whole, "my body is made of smoke, but I'm actually a robot; its all nanomachines" is kinda stupid.

Yeah, i knew he looked liked someone familiar, shredder!

I agree with the opinion on Smoke and Reptile, that they have both been over exagerated in the more recent games. I hated playing as Reptile in MKDA, and really haven't liked Smoke much since the 2D games. He's practically a shell of a fighter now, with limited special moves and still no weapon. To me, he's one of the most rushed characters I've seen in recent MK games, and that sucks because he is my favorite.

And I'm sure a lot of people will say "Well, back then he was just a copy of Scorpion." So what? He sucks balls now as opposed to the UMK3 days when he actually had a moveset worth playing with. And even in that game he wasn't exactly a clone, as he did have his own combos that were better imo than Scorpions.

But back on topic, Reptile looked like a freakin salamander or something in MKDA, and it was just rediculous. I remember not knowing who he was until I picked him, then I still didn't believe it until I seen his name bar. Then, I still didn't believe it was the same Reptile in the previous games, until I read his bios. Then I was sad.

I think they overdid Mileena's costumes in MKD, i mean, her breasts are huge, and her costume only covers like half her boobs, which makes no sense, cuase they're jugglin' all over the place and they don't slip out her clothes...or somethin'...

Sub-Shredder is my favorite costume though.

I assume the majority of people hated MKDA reptile, which is why we got his MKSM look in MKA and his DA look as reduced to an alternate which sucks. I would of prefered if they took the alternate back to MK4 like they did with Scorpion's main costume.

I also 100% agree with Smoke, in MKA his main look where he's acutally make of smoke or nanobots like someone said is lame. His alt is also too mechanised, they should did like Cyrax and gave him a look where he still has some humanity.

Not really over the top, but I think Li Mei got an unfair shake with her appearance in MK:DA, right down to the weapons. She was basically a non-deformed Mileena in some regards. She managed to overcome it in Deception, in my opinion, but it was not a great way to bring her in.

Yeah, when MKDA came out, that was general consensus on MKO.

The problem with Reptile in MKDA is that Reptile is a ninja is not only a reptile...they made it sucky...so...NINJAS FTW !!

yeah why do they change characters around alot like that why not keep the origional looks.

They keep their original looks.

Sub-Zero still looks like an assassin, despite his Shredder look.

Scorpion still dresses as a ninja

Sonya and Jax are still in their somewhat military gear

Despite altercations of their appearance, they still keep their original look.

Oh, yeah? What about Kai? He's a shaolin monk in MK4 and a Caveman with cornrows in MKA. I mean, how does that make sence?

There are alot of bad ideas in the design department in recent MK games, you can't really argue with that. Baraka's face melted. Smoke turned into a hot air balloon. Stryker lost his signature hat and turned into a blonde Blade-wannabe. Jax shaved the facial hair and got a stupid berret and goggles. Also Ermac's green glow doesn't thrill me, but that's just me.
And alot of the new characters lacked any originality. Havik is Baraka, Darrius is Morpheus Kobra is Ken and Li Mei is Chun Li.

I agree about Reptile. I don't like his SM suit as much as the MK4 one, but everything is better than Bowser Reptile.
