It was good vignette, but quite disappointing at the same time.
It was less informative, then vignettes of Scorpion and Sub-Zero and I dislike that they constantly emphasise her beastly side. I am afraid that they can "overdo" it and completely turn into "child like killer", instead of having some balance with her edenian side and make her more deep and interesting character, then just crazy killer with issues.
To be honest I will be surprised if they manage to pull this off.

Well to be fair, the Sub-Zero one's kinda impossible to top because it had a secret weapon: He's the only character from the old games that we didn't know something major about, the brothers' real names.

Scorpion's wasn't really any more informative than the Mileena one was.

Isn't the announcer from DA? I like him.

Anyway, the animations are COOL, but overall the video is pretty meh

Sorry Im late to the party, Just watched the vignette and heres what I have to say about it. It is pretty good, I would have liked to see a little more about when Kitana and Mileena worked together as assassins for Khan. We pretty much have only seen them as enemies. I think the whole "Mileena was always jealous of Kitana because she was beautiful and Shao Khan favored Kitana over Mileena" is from the Komics, which are good to read, but dont know how canon they are. So it looks like Mileena was created as a teen or an adult, so are they going to explain how Mileena was introduced to Kitana? Long lost sister or what? I always liked the story that they grew up together and Mileena was jealous of Kitana, like I had explained earlier in this paragraph, but it looks like thats not the case anymore, so Why does Mileena hate Kitana so much? We really never got an explanation, except for Mileena was always second fiddle to Kitana when they were growing up, which now is not canon. So why do they hate each other? I would still like to think Shao Khan favored Kitana and treated her better than Mileena and he kinda treated Mileena was more of a slave, well not slave, but he took advantage of the fact that he "had the will to control her" so he treated her with much less respect than he gave Kitana. These are all just assumptions based on the vignette. I would like to see how Mileena was introduced to Kitana and Jade, also Why do Kitana and Mileena hate each other so much? I would like canon explanations and stories from NRS.

what is wrong with them?

why are they showing off only ninja characters?

Haven't Sonya and Sindel been revealed? Why can't they give some other characters some attention?

Sonya, Sindel, and Ermac are still not on the website and we haven't even seen real gameplay footage from them.

I'm getting irritated

I think they need to add Kitana to the website and give her some vignettes and renders and stuff. Its Scorpion and Sub Zero, Shao Khan and Raiden, Mileena and it should be Kitana on there too, the big rivalries of MK.

Mileena is friggin' boring. How they won over on the official site I'll never understand. o_O

I need some Raiden or Khan or Ermac or Cyrax.

This

Don't get me started... it all comes down to how slow they're being with the release of simple content. They've really only given Sub-Zero and Scorpion any attention during all this time. They're just now doing the same for Mileena. It is very irritating. It's not like we're asking for them to spoil the game. We just wanna see a variety of already-revealed characters getting similar, consistent treatment.... and it would be cool to see footage of characters whose mouths are visible -.- ....

Looks like she'll have contextual moves...without any setup, do Mileena's pounce special and she'll chew at the opponent's face, but if you stab the Sai into the their back before, she'll instead take it and stab their neck up.

Cool

How is she getting more attention than any other character? Yes there's a lot of stuff being introduced about her this month, but the makers have established thats because she was VOTED as the most wanted character >_O We haven't seen anything solely about her since before her wallpaper showed up. Heck, we haven't even seen a good quality version of her fatality yet, correct?
They're not just promoting her. We've seen plenty on Subby and Scorpion, and there's been a healthy mix of characters in background videos during interviews and magazine renders...

Anyone else think the music sounds like it could be played at a strip club. I guess it makes sense though.

i hope they show her cunning,intelligent, scheming side too, not just the crazy beast side...

I hope we get a good gameplay video for Mileena. I loved the tag-team demo for Cyrax and Kitana. Would it be so difficult to get another one of those vids?

That's a rhetorical question, btw. If marketing approval would be too difficult for a video of Paulo Garcia dicking around with the characters for ten minutes, then WB's marketing infrastructure is just plain fucked.

You do realize that that tag-team video of Kitana and Cyrax was them giving a stage demo at a convention, and that they aren't gonna sit around and make one of those things at the office, right?

Queve,I'll admit I was a bit disappointed too,until I realized something.

Both Sub and Scorpion have the richest,most complex biographies in all of MK. Not to mention their stories started as far back as the very first game,so there was a lot to tell in their vignettes.

Now consider this:

Mileena was only introduced in MK2. So that's already one less game of character development than Sub and Scorp,so the comparison is already unfair. Her MK3 story starts off with her getting killed by Kitana and resurrected by Shinnok,so there is no possible way this twist would've been included in this vignette. The only thing left to fall back on is her MK2 bio.

So if you just stand back and look at what we know about her as of MK2,you'll realize that there's not much to tell,and this vignette pretty much covered every single thing there is to tell about her at this point.

We all know now that her character is pretty complex,and that she's not just a blood-crazy nympho,but guess what? This game covers the MK1-MK3 era. And when she was first introduced,we had no idea what her character is like beyond the fact that she's a psychobitch. I wouldn't feel right if the vignette started tell us shit like "under her grotesque exterior lies the soul of a girl who just wants to be loved". That's something that took us several games to slowly discover on our own. Show,don't tell.

Why wouldn't they?

^^This. That's the working of a great story. Show. NEVER tell.

Ask them to and see where it gets you.

They've got their little marketing plan of "two wallpapers, silly what-would-you-do-with video, bio video, single character gameplay video, rinse, repeat...maybe an MKast if you're lucky but it'll take four months to complete" and they're not gonna deviate from it.

quoted for truth.

Awesome vignette!!!!!

But please PLEASE do something about Kitana's hair it's overlly ridiculous!

in my opinion this answers alot of questions i use to have about milleena she does appear to have the soul of someone who wants to be loved.Especially when Shao said that kitana was his favorite daughter because she wasnt fake.as i believe razor or someone else brought up she cried i think shes demented and psycho around this period.

Okay, I see what you mean now. I'm aware that they don't want to veer from their... let's call it minimalist marketing tactics; I'm just saying that a gameplay video would be the easiest thing in the world if they wanted to give us one. Hell, I'm sure there's a guy who literally plays the game nine to five everyday for balancing purposes.

Kitana's hair is almost as bad as those gosh darn wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube men.

that guy who plays from 9 to 5 on weekends is me lmao.
