Great work again on the blood. It looks almost like an actual blood ripped from the MK game, but actually improved upon. I also like Kitana's pose, it's very fitting as it looks as if she just threw it.

Just two things I can spot wrong with this...

1) Kitana... a knife? Come on. This doesn't fit her at all. Kano would have been a much more logical choice.
2) The lifebars aren't supposed darken, just the BG.

I really like kitana's pose too!!! and i also think the knife is pretty random!!

Also, the two bloods pasted and moved diagonally a couple pixels looks awkward, like its reflecting on something, either delete one or use another sprite effect. I do like the blood on the floor, even though it is the same, b/c of the perspective of the ground and the large puddle of one hiding the splatter of the other its harder to tell.

overall its pretty cool, but kinda boring, the bg is very plain and so is the cage sprite.
this would work really well as an animation! but as a fake, its kinda boring

one last thing, this isnt very important but it helps incorporate the sprites to the BG a bit more, u should try some shadows, whichever kind u prefer, a dark blur or a darkened sprites, doesnt really mater if u ask me, as long as its just there so the eye doesnt see the sprites as 2D figures pasted in a picture of the BG

Fixed up the mistakes ]{ombat pointed out. =] Thanks for all the comments guys, the constructive criticism is appreciated.

Both versions are pretty cool.
Kitana could maybe use her movie bladed tessen?

Still, the assassin dirk works fine.

Hey I see nothing wrong with Kitana throwing a knife . Come on, MK characters don't have to be THAT consistent.

Both versions are pretty cool but the pose choice for Kitana was especially good

Simple and sweet. Good job.
