Kitana's hair has definitely improved. Im not even gonna lie Kitana's hair is epic. So fitting of her. I was skeptical of them making her hair longer than Sindel's but I think it works better for Kitana. I wasnt sure I would like the ridiculously long hair when they gave it to her in MKDA, but now it looks so awesome. Everyone needs to quit complaining, because look how much heart and soul NRS is putting into this game. Kitana's hair, as well as all the other female's hair will be tweaked to perfection, if not close. A negative thing I have to say is, why are the female's hands and feet still so big? They need to tweak that a little bit, and the heels are still too short.

Wow, is this really all we're getting this week? Three screenshots of shit we've seen already? Lame. So fuckin lame.

Edit: Nevermind, I read the post wrong. XD

I can just see the tweets already.

RandomGuy - "@MK_MortalKombat. Hey, what's for Fatality Friday this week?"

MK_MortalKombat - "@RandomGuy. *insert link to article about Australia banning Mortal Kombat*

Sucks. In other words time to go outside and play!

I thought Rigo said he was working on something like a behind the music like video for this week and next week was going to be the big week.

I'm with the majority regarding Kitana's terrible hair design. I mean, I understand people liking the long hair concept (I personally love it), but, the result itself in these last 2 games is just so ugly its hard not to complain about it.

This is also what I see:



Her head does look like a freaking Alien/extraterrestrial.

It looks so oddly shaped because of the way the hair goes on the back and then straight down like a cascade.

Like freaking E.T.

It's not pretty.



I'm sorry, buddy, but, you seriously can't make that kind of comparison. It just doesn't work that way.

You are comparing two totally different kinds of imperfection.

Sure the hair animation of all the characters doesn't look 110% perfect (males included), but, none of those pictures you posted (or no other hair design/animation that we've seen so far) looks as bad as Kitana's.

They just don't look terrible. Sure I expect Mileena's and Liu's hair to flow smoothly and not be stiff like the hair in MKD once you performed a Fatality on a character (remember Sindel's decapitated head+super stiff hair?), but, the little moments they look "unnatural" are not really that bad.

You can't compare Kitana's awful hair and its terrible imperfections to the rest of the "hair imperfections" of the other females because they don't even look bad at all.



The animation certainly looks somewhat better.

However, even if its been improved, it doesn't mean that it doesn't look bad anymore. Because it does. She looks ugly. I agree with the other comments.

I personally can't wait for her alt and her DLC retro costume.

Soooooooo someone from TRMK posted a picture of Stryker in gameplay. I'm not sured if I'm allowed to post it I guess but hey google it you'll see it! It appears he has his taser move back but it seems to shoot out of something on his wrist maybe I'm not seeing it right!

Nope can't find the Stryker pic any where edit:Now I see it never mind

Hmm can i ask a question,

WTF is this?!

His feather?

Yeah- if you look at the full-size version, you can see the beads that attach it to his hair- it must be flying up in this moment.

Leaning backward abruptly for lightning summon = wind drag forcing feather forward. Physics lecture to be held later today in The Armory, with drinks in the Deadpool after.

I guess when people say, sarcasm is hard over the internet.

Ah you guys don't get the joke eh, i know its a feather but people are complaining about kitanas and sindels hair, so i throw this up lol. Ohwell shame on me for trying to be funny.

I have a quick question, what is that black triangular shape on her ear?
Or maybe that's how her earring looks underneath? Because of the motion?


Kitana's hair started out pretty good in the blue outline, but right when that headband was placed, all hell broke loose.
Where I outlined in yellow, that's where it all starts.

And then it goes on and on and on....-_- when will it end?


Okay, back to the screenshots. Nightwolf looks great! His face reminds me a lot like Litefoot's..

And I do agree with queve about Kung Lao. But I think he's still handsome, just in an older way :)

Look at that guy back there at the Dead Pool, his torso has an opening
and there's an orange-red orb thing on his forehead-seems he's being controlled by something or someone. Or maybe he has a mind of his own?
the eyes look gouged out to me.

^ It is her earring flying up a bit.

Again, I think her hair looks fine. As gay as I am, I have the straightest face right now, because I really think you're over exaggerating a tiny problem. Her hair is not perfect, I don't give a shit with such a minor detail. If she's low tier, I'll have a problem, if they kill her off in the new storyline, I'll have a problem. Her hair being fine, but not completely realistic? I'll survive...

FYI: original news post was updated with Facebook Shadows wallpapers which include a glimpse at Sheeva!

Only not, because they're fake.
Big time apology, folks. Unacceptably complacent of me.

Everything leaked by Lupinko is turning to be right, now we can see that Sheeva has the skin rip.

Wait a minute.

Are you sure those are from the facebook? 'Cause I don't see them on there anywhere and I'm SURE the first places I saw the Jax and Sheeva wallpapers was DeviantArt and MKO's own fan submissions board. I am under the distinct impression those two wallpapers are fanmade.

Check it:

Kamidogu beat you to it by a few minutes. ;-P
Already did the edit. Did wonder why the images I was forwarded were so small. Little too keen to try to catch-up on what I thought was a missed update. It's been a looong day! Very, very disappointing mistake.

Then you, son, are nothing more than a fanboy and you will be duly ignored. The majority of us who are not satisfied with whatever garbage NRS throws at us agree that you are objectively and unequivocally wrong.

Whoever posted the pic with all the retarded joints in her hair outlined in yellow illustrated my point about what's wrong with it exactly. Bezou has a point too, but that's not as big a problem as "the joints." It's like her hair is a thick furry arm with about 6 elbows. And when it bends, it's like all they did was add a photoshop stretch to the individual strands and it makes it look even worse. Well, I guess I'll be using her retro skin, which sucks, because I really like this outfit otherwise.
re: the shadows wallpaper, thank goodness they're not official. The skin rip, if it's in, shouldn't leave a skeleton, it should leave Meat. And I really hope it's not retarded like the MK3 version where she just rips it in one fluid motion. They can and should do better than that.

I know we're all sick to death of this conversation, but with so few updates of late (and my own grief inside at its banning her in Oz)... i'ma have to stop you right now -_-

Her hair does not look "fine". Acceptable, barely. It is not moving in the slightest way like hair moves. It's one big poof of hair, not a big tube with some articulation in it. If this were here MKDA hair, it'd work fine, because there'd be something holding it together to move that way. But it's not. hair doesn't move in uniformity when it's unbound.

If they can't animate it, don't design a character that way (especially when its such a stupid style to begin with. Only place it looks decent is the render)

Actually we can compare Kitana's hair imperfections to the other characters hair imperfections because they all have the same problem, Kitana's is just more obvious because her hair is really long. In the Noob video, we could clearly see Jade's hair was doing the same thing Kitana's hair was doing in the early PAX videos. Like petrcech pointed out, they all have similar hair animation problems, Kitana's are just bigger because she has so much hair. NRS will tweak all the hair so it will be presentable when the game is released.

Whoa, just read the article. Did anyone else notice the 15 hours of gameplay in a robust new story mode? Is this for real? That would be badass.

OPINIONS ARE NOT WRONG. Just because I like a certain gaming aspect that is different from yours does not make me 'just a fanboy'. I see samuhai, queve, and jaded-raven say bad things about her hair in almost every Kitana thread I go to, but you know the difference between them and you? They respect other people's opinion. I'll be the first one to say I think her hair looks great, they'll disagree with me, but I assure you they wouldn't call me 'just a fanboy'. Her hair is fine, I'm sticking to my story, you're not going to dissuade my views, no matter what you call me. If you hate it so much and it's sooo disctracting, then I can't wait to play against you, and I know exactly who I'm using...
