Ermac is blowing 'em out left and right this week. Besides this, he currently has a 151-vote lead over Noob Saibot in the Shoryuken poll. Loving it.

A blood feud begins! Nitara - bloodsucking vampiress of the realm Vaeternus and the Moroi Empire! Skarlet - enforcer for Shao Kahn created from the blood of fallen warriors! Will Nitara consume the blood born warrior, or is vampire independence as spoiled as Skarlet's blood? Who's next? Choose their destiny!... FIGHT!

SKarlet by far.

Nitara is cool and all, but I dislike the need for vampires just because Buffy, Angel, Twilight and all that other romantic vampire-shit is so hot in the zero's...


So 5 votes for Skarlet (my gay boyfriend and friends also vote for her but they don't have an account)

Also Skarlet is the only REDHEAD in the series (that counts as Kira just sucks)

There are like 10 black-haired females in the game.

Nitara by far !!


-Nitara is the only vampire in the series so far. Such an interesting idea to add her race in Mortal Kombat. Skarlett is just another female ninja.

-Nitara has always been, by far, my all time favourite female kombattant. Sexy, stylish, ambiguous (a neutral character who works on her own using others when she needs but keeping her part of the deals),... I've always felt she had a lot of potential that just needed to be on the road again, because Deadly Alliance definitely wasn't enough. I'm sure she would fit perfectly in MKX, and that it would be the chance for her to make a good come-back and to finally be appreciated as she deserves. Besides, she could come with her male counterpart which was planned for DA. It would give her race a little bit more backstory and they would make an amazing duo.

-On the contrary, I've never had any feeling for Skarlett. I like her better than some of the other kunoichis (Kitana and Jade), but she still doesn't really appeal me. At least not enough for me to support her coming-back. Not yet. Besides, I've always felt she was like a Mileena/Kitana/Kira melting-pot. Don't get me wrong, I actually like a lot the fact that they finally made Skarlett a real character. I just think that, besides, Shao Khan being dead, she would have no interest being in MKX's storyline, and that it would be better to see another "not yet in the main roster" character be revealed (like Hornbuckle or Tremor).

- + It would be nice, for once, to see a "forgotten" character win over a "current" fighter.


There's only one real bloodthirsty femme fatale in MK, and that's the beautiful Nitara. And I'm glad people are open-minded enough to give her another chance over a character that already has its in MK9.

Skarlet, although nitaras boots are def one of my favorite things in the game since ever.

I love the concept of skarlet as counterpart to ermac in terms of creation, and her fatalities are great. Love her weapons and I hope one day her and
Mileena can be besties :)

Nitaras is just a boring vampire who seems to want nothing to do with the plot in general. I wish they had made her vampire race more distinct from the generic vampire stereotype but there just lacks anything special there. The fact the she is such a Lone Ranger makes it hard for me to invest in her, cause what is she in the big scope of things?

I think skarlet rocks the blood element in a more unique and interesting way and thus she gets my vote.

Nitara because skarlet is the lamest excuse for a character. I would choose Hsu Hao over her. I would choose Mokap over her. I would choose Apep over her. It probably took them 10 minutes to think up her story and costume and concept and that's about all she's worth.

*Facepalms*@your logic. The fact that you don't like Kira doesn't cancel her appearance in the gameconfused
Anyway, voted for Nitara. Skarlet is just a female Ermac made out of blood instead of souls. Unoriginal idea, unoriginal powers, unoriginal story, unoriginal appearance. Nitara has a whole new species and realm going on for her.

Original? LOL! She's a vampire looking like a Succubus.

Vampires are the most overused monsters from mythology together with Dragons, Zombies and Werewolves.

NEver call Nitara original again.

Facepalm at your logic too!


Whole New Species? Vampire?

Unoriginal powers over blood? Marvel has like 10.000 characters, NONE of them have the power over blood or can become blood, 100 or more are Vampires.

She isn't just a female ermac, a color doesn't make one connected.

Again, stories are there to change, but of course some people just can't see that because they are limited in fantasy themselves and can't think further than the already known stuff.

So Skarlet's story of being a henchman of Shao Kahn makes her original? If as you say "stories are there to change", then you go against your own logic saying that Nitara is boring. Since she at least has a story with potential that can be worked on and one that we haven't seen before in MK. Skarlet as she is now is staright up boring. We are not talking about "who MAY be great in the future", we are talking about what we have so far. And so far Nitara at least has something going on for her and that is already better than having nothing at all. Also your argument about Marvel is irrelevant, coz this is MK. Comparing powers that exist in other franchises is random so since we are talking MK, Nitara is something we haven't seen before. A female ninja who is made out of an element and who obeys Shao Kahn is something we've seen 20 times! And even if you consider "blood" original as an element, Nitara still wins coz her powers revolved around it way before Skarlet even existed.

PS. That isn't "my" logic so that you can facepalm on it. It is a "fact".

Nitara doesn't have powers over blood, she just eats it... like every freaking vampire already does.

I don't hate Nitara, I just hate her species, if she was a Succubus or Vetala I would have liked her much better, I also dislike her Vampire-Species-prisoner-by-Shao Kahn-Reptile-Wannabee storyline which isn't original at all.

Of course that can change, and I hope to be proven wrong and see a very cool new Nitara in MK X, one that isn't bount on saving her overused species from Shao Kahn.

I do like her wings, I want a character with wings.

As Skarlet doesn't have real purpose yet there are many roads she could go, and i'm interested in that road. NItara already has a small backstory about her species and stuff, so changing that will be harder, but its possible.

Exactly like Skarlet has ninjas' existing moves. A teleport similar to Mileena's but instead of purple energy, she leaves blood behind her (and hits the opponent at the back instead of the top). A slide exactly like Sub Zero and Reptile but instead of ice and acid, she leaves a trail of blood again.
Oh and by the way Nitara doesn't just eat it. Her projectile is a ball of blood which shows she might have some control over the blood she drains from the opponent. You know...that move that Skarlet also has? Yeah that. Nitara had it first too.
I can sit here all day and present arguments on why it isn't that crazy that people like Nitara, but instead I'm gonna give you some friendly advice: Don't dismiss people's opinions just because you disagree with them. I've seen you do that a lot since you created your profile here and the poll obviously shows that people aren't that crazy in their preferences.

There are only so many moves a fighting game can have... (create or imagen) of course many moves will be similar when more characters are created. That is only logical and you must blame Boon for that, not Skarlet.

And Noob Saibot and Smoke both started out as Scorpion clones, look where they are now.

And one ball of vomit blood isn't blood powers still.

One order of Nitara for me, please.

Skarlet is a junk character who was nothing more than another excuse to squeeze in another set of blatant T&A into the game.
