I much prefer the straight solid blades he always had before that clearly came out of his arms. I don’t like the new jagged edges blades that look like they’re strapped on to his arms.
hey
I preferred the sleeker, smoother ones as well. However there is an alternative gear type that offers smoother, more traditional looking blades.
Ehhhhhhhhh... I don't know about that. Of his 5 current custom options, none of them are really a close approximation of his original metal blades.
The first one looks like a serrated bone.
The second one looks smooth and sleek, but is like, a glowy-color, not metallic. Almost lightsaber-esque (but not quite)
The third looks barbed (and again, semi-glowy)
The fourth looks like stylized bone. Kind of similar to the first, but more patterned. Almost like it’s been carved.
And the fifth looks blade-like, but it’s got like like... an almost sickle-like curve on the end. Not to mention it’s wrapped in cloth in the middle, which makes it hard to believe it would retract into his arm.
None of them are a perfect approximation of his original smooth metal blades.
That said, I noted in one of the videos that he has moves where he seems to break the blades off in people, and then just grow new ones instantly... so... I find it slightly more forgivable that they’d change, if we’re supposed to believe he can regrow them (which apparently we are). I could buy the excuse that they grow back differently, to justify this in my head canon, lol.
Also... if he has a Klassic skin... I could most assuredly see his traditional blades coming with it. Which may explain their absence at present. We already know Scorpion has a Klassic from the original teaser, yet we saw no sign of it in the demo.
You mean his bone spurs that for some reason shoot sparks? Yeah, not digging that. I always wondered how exactly a Tarkatan's body worked when it came to the wrist blades. If their entire skeleton was a metal of some sort or, if Shao Kahn created them to just have that particular part of their body be like that or- Whatever doesn't matter now.
I don't like it.
I dont like his projectile animation. Looks crampy. He should atleast extend his arm. The classic was good, Now it looks unclear and weird.

Agreed all his classic moves look odd in this game. Slice and dice? It looks more like he's beating the opponents rib cage with his bone spurs than he his slicing them up.
