I guess my wish came true I've always write to the MK studios every now and then when i'm not scrapping for pennies or writing essays for a college course[blah] i guessed they really do listens. This whole speculation and waiting at the edge of the seat thing is what i love and its so funny how everyone goes crazy over games especially when it comes to fighting games HHAHAHAHA YOU GUYS ARE SO FUNNY WHEN YOU SPECULATING HEHEHEH but theres no doubt in mind that this character may just be a character in the background. I hope they have some guards stab her up while we fight that would be funny hahaha its funny even thinking about it. I'm so weird

Last thing, they are not finish with the designs you can clearly see that they palette swapped Kira's look and swipe her pants off BUT AGAIN THIS IS JUST
AN EARLY CONCEPT OF THE CHARACTER, SO LADIES DON'T GET YOUR PANTIES IN A KNOT

Whether its Scarlet or Ruby or whomever, it gives you something to look at and joke about while your fighting, [It looks like a man in Kira's clothing] hmmm I wonder who'll be chained up in Kitana's spot i guess we'll have to wait and see.

good old MK[bang]

Whoever she is, she looks too generic for me to care that much... She does look a lot like Kira though, despite the mask and ... odd clothes. If we're lucky she'll just be some random no-name prisoner there for, i guess, eye candy?

If they are going to do random prisoners in Kahn's arena I'd rather they just use decrepid, sorry looking old warriors like the kind you see in the dead pool

That's not Kira's model. It's a new one.

I feel like, even though she is "new", she'll probably be a character killed off.

Or maybe she's the original Meat.

But it could still be Kira.

I'm just going back and forth, lol. It's hard to believe a new character would look SO generic, but then again... we had Taven and Daegon... but I'd hoped we'd got faaaaar past that. Maybe it's just a generic slave bitch, lol. Ugh... I just really hope its not Skarlett. Not that I dislike the idea of Skarlett in the game. I actually really like the idea of having another character birthed of the same methods as Ermac. It's extremely nostalgic. But this design is just terrible.

I think it's Skarlett. Her design could use some work, but it must look better in game. Kitana's model does.

Her origin is what I am really interested in though.

I can't even tell you how boring she looks. You can literally make a generic female KAK that looks just like that.

Anyway, I predict she'll appear in story mode but will not be playable. We'll see who's right.

Will you really feel better about yourself, feel victorious if you are right?
Isn't that kinda sad?

He never said that. He just said "we'll see who's right."


And we will.

Skarlet/Ruby.

Final answer.

I think Kahn's arena works like The Prison stage from MKD,where you see random characters in the cells.

It's Skarlett no doubt, most of you guys and gals are in denial. Of course she'll be playable, why would Ed go through the trouble of posting her leg if she'll only be a extra? Just got to accept it and enjoy the game.

I don't really care who they put in the game as long as they give them a sweet story.

Seriously. Hsu Hao? Meat? Drahmin? Tanya? Li Mei? Tremor? Kia? Make them awesome and I'm down.

It just sounds somewhat threatening. I imagine him pointint a finger at people, yelling "I TOLD YOU SO!!!". XD

I'm sure it wasn't much trouble. I also don't think he'd be willing to reveal such a character. The only character that could be such a huge surprise.

Plus, Boon isn't exactly known to avoid mindfucking his fans.

hey, maybe she wont be viewable in the final version at all and infact one of thos things we try to hunt down.

Now THAT would be awsome. Boon knows if shes not there at launch, were gonna lose it.

Anyone else notice her ponytail in the screenshot in the OP?

No, we're just gonna look for her. Kinda reminiscent of MK:Deception's Konquest.

It would be much more effective if she was completely hidden from the get go. And in regards to how stagnant they've been about not talking about secrets... I'm having such a hard time that they would reveal a character such as Skarlett prior to release.

Lololo, how could it be Kira? Kira was in that same spot in the arena before, so this new model is either a new character/slave OR a new version of Kira. And I highly doubt that Kira would be in this game- for multiple reasons. I think it's pretty safe to assume that this hoe is "Skarlett" or "Ruby" or "RedLoinclothBitch" or whatever the hell.

Really, creating models solely for background purposes isn't unheard of. Kira can be in the game and be unplayable.

Don't get me wrong. I hate Kira. But ruling out the possibility that this could be her is absurd.

I don't see why they would remake Kira just for the background....

But if (whatever this is) remains just a BG character, I'm fine. If (whatever this is) becomes playable, FFFUUUU. She better have a major overhaul between now and April if so.

She ain't gonna be playable if it is Kira. I mean, think about how detailed these backgrounds are. Another character model isn't that extravagant of a concept.

But seriously, I'm still completely stumped as to who this is. All possibilities seem to have good backing to them.

I'll eat my words if Kira is playable, though. I just don't see that shit happening.

im not sure at all about this girl.... IMO it would be nice if she was this girl Ruby or Skarlett...it would be good to have a new character (though not all new) even if she is another ninja hehe i like every one of them
i see a mask and a side bang in her hair so dont know....

it would also be nice if it was either sareena or kira but i dont think so...
and as some of you i dont like the costume :( (first girl costume of a girl in this game i dont like) but as some of you also say it may not be finished we just have to wait then

anyways nice catch...i never get any of this "hidden stuff" hehe

Poll time, because the inconsistency in the name is driving me nuts and I'd rather not make a poll topic about a character who may or may not even exist as selectable, lest folks start going batshit about non-entities getting more threads than is necessary:

I prefer:

A) Skarlett

B) Skarlet

C) Scarlett

D) Scarlet

E) Ruby

F) A different name entirely.



I say B. The two Ts looks odd to me.

She should be named Redmac or Dermac.
