the way i heard it reiko and tanya were the same as jarek (ie psuedo-new characters)

tanya = kitana, although sonya got given some of her moves, hense her having so many
and reiko = noob saibot, changed cos it would clash with the dark backgrounds + to add more 'new' characters

I'm closing this thread because it belongs in the Classic MK Games Discussion forum. You can repost it there. Sorry for the inconvience.

Could ya do me a favor and transfer it? PLZ?

I don't really care what anyone thinks about her but Tanya is NOT bad. In fact, she was my #1 character in MK4 and I ruled my arcade with her (as well as any other I ventured to). She was quick and cheap and her juggle combos were fast and I could generally win a round with her against any opponent in under 30 seconds. So regardless of what you all think of her, in my opinion, she was top tier in MK4.

i have to agree, Tanya was one of the best!

At least someone else thinks like me. Anyone else agree on Tanya? I mean she literally kicks LOADS of ass. Her moves are SOOO fast and her juggles as well ... with that speed I found it easy to trick even the hardest of opponents each time. My favorite combo was jump kick, torpedo kick, sweep, torpedo kick, splits kick/sweep (or something like that - it has been a while). You couldn't go any further with it as the computer pushed you back from the onslaught. It was lightening fast and once started most people got lost in the speed. There are many others with her too like starting with a basic ground combo of punches and leading into the above. So, in my opinion, Tanya was GREAT. Raiden was my second favorite (especially his hammer juggle combo). Anyhow.
