But we are suppose to be guessing what the next batch of retros are gonna be not debating over whats necessary or unnecessary and to add what you guys said about being "fair" if they were to waste their time making individual retro outfits for non ninja characters then EXPECT them to charge you for them and don't complain about them not being free. You know what -_- who am I kidding people are gonna complain no matter what whether its ninja retros or not but I certainly won't be complaining.


So we should just say the names of the charachters we think or would like to be DLC and nothing more? That would be so boring. If you don't want, you are never obligated to participate in the discussion, but the forums are for that, that's why they are called discussion forums.

Anyways I'm happy you decided not to complain anymore. Complaining about the people who complains is one of the most stupid things to do.

I wasn't necessarily complaining I was only annoyed that's all so let's move on to something else now.

Where'd you hear that? It's been character first then retro outfits.

Rigo Cortes posted on Twitter yesterday:
"Working on the Blueberry/Lime montage" and "While you guys are busy feasting your eyes on Grape I'm going to go work on Blueberry & Lime"

The Rain trailer is coming Monday, so the Retro pack trailer should be released pretty soon afterward. Rigo's pretty speedy, I think.


I knew that. I was asking about the order; which as Espio872 said, just got mixed up.

No chance DLC characters will get outfits via these compatibility packs. The idea is to encourage those who didn't buy the DLC to download them so people who did can use them online. As much as I'd love some klassic Skarlet outfits, why would people who didn't get her want a klassic for her?

Hmm yeah I think MK2 Kitana/Jade is the most possible outcome. If they are then MK2 Mileena may be a possibilty. But if that all happens and comes true, who comes with Mileena?

Notice how annoying this is getting with each person saying stuff like this with the ninjas and cyborgs. But these are just examples. You can't control what NRS/Midway does when they think and create characters on their own unless we the fans demand for characters that are already created or fan favorites other than that if you don't like what they give or even appreciate then you guys might as well go to a different fighting franchise or take this debating over to another thread cause its getting really annoying.



This is a forum, dissent is apart of that. I will voice my dissent/opinion and the facts:

The ninjas all have retros: cyber, male, and female are included in that.

Now my opinion, this is a thread about retro costumes included with the compatibility packs, which means those who are tired of the ninjas getting costumes when all of them have one are entitled to say as much.

It's time to move on to other characters and while it might be unrealistic, I hope they actually do what's fair instead of what's easy for retro costumes, that is all.


This.

I would say that Blueberry and Lime refers to MK2 Kitana, Jade and Mileena attire.
The word Blue berry being broken down would leave
Blue being Kitana, Berry being Mileena and Lime being Jade.

I see them doing it that way, it makes a lot of sense using blueberry as a reference to both Mileena and Kitana.


That is a really good and fun guess. Good job!

That being said: I hope you are wrong. I hope you are 873% wrong!!!

Would people be happier with Cyber-Sub if he got the unmasked Sub-Zero skin as his alt?
Sub-Zero already has a classic alt and CSZ needs one.
Some of the moves may look odd but they did it for the 2nd skins of Cyrax and Sektor. I'd love to see a Cyber alt for Smake and an Unmasked Alt for Cyber Sub-Zero.

Perhaps because the pack includes not one, but *two* costumes?
The chances of anyone using both costumes equally is incredibly small, anyway, and I could absolutely see them releasing MKII Skarlet alongside another character like Mileena.

Jax and Sonya is reaching.
One is a character in blue- blueberries are the only well-known fruit even *close* to blue, while there are quite a few choices for purple.

And the *outside* of a lime matches Jade's color rather well wink

its close to blue but still a shade of purple.
and how is sonya reaching when her mk3 outfit is lime?
characters that already have dlc skins get another? really? um no
this being overthought thanks to the trolls at NRS.

If they were to include a klassic for Skarlet, they would have to pair her with one for Rain, otherwise there would be no end to the bitching from Rain's fans as to why she got one and he didn't.

You're right that Skarlet getting one would make Rain getting one more likely,
but I still expect all 7 UMK3 male ninja outfits as another $5 pack (it's just too easy to turn a buck that way for them to pass on it, IMO),
which would put Rain in with all the others people are guaranteed to have.

These are just my guesses.

I've already stated why I don't think Jax and Sonya will be getting (free) Retros like some others have, and it has *nothing* to do with limes or blueberries...

Basically that the ends in no way justify the means.

This has been debated to death already, but in essence:

build and test MK3 Sonya, and you get... MK3 Sonya.

build and test MKII Kitana, get *three* other characters for "free," from a production standpoint.

build and test UMK3 Scorpion, get *six* other characters for free.

Now, be honest with yourself- if you were running a business (the goal of which is to make money), which is going to look more attractive?
Spending $1000 to make MK3 Sonya, thus making only Sonya fans happy (and leaving three other vacant spots to fill), or spending $1000 to make MKII Kitana and spending not one more dime on developing these free DLC skins?

I've said it before, and I'll repeat myself again:
don't expect to see any one-off retros unless they end up charging us for them. It's *absolutely* a huge waste of money for them to develop something as time-consuming as, say, MK3 Sonya, MK3 Jax, MK1 Kano, and MK1 Johnny vs. MKII Kitana, Mileena, Jade, and Skarlet as a free giveaway.

Do I think all those characters deserve those outfits? Yes, I do.
Do I think WB feels the same way I do? No... I don't. sad

It's totally gonna be Jade and Kitana MKII outfits. Mileena doesn't get one because she has enough fuckin' clothes.

Boy, I never thought I'd say that in relation to Mileena.
