That's a good point! Maybe it's the Edenian culture? Would love to see Tanya's hair if that's the case :)

I think costumes I and J were way over the top....they look pretty silly, in my humble opinion.
I'm quite happy with his current costume. However, I would have preferred to have his hair showing like in his alternate concepts..

On a side note, why haven't we seen any alternate Kenshi or Skarlet concepts...? I love inspecting all the concepts in greater detail. I have the art book siting right next to me.

I think his alternate in MK:D/MK:A was the closest they came to making him completely smoke.

I honestly do not want anymore crazy long hair. Its annoying, im still saddened they did it with Kitana and now Jade is tagging along. If Tanya starts to join this fad, i would be a very sad fan. Her hair in MKD was perfect.

However, i do like the idea of it being part of Edenian Culture which would explain alot.

No, it was his demonic changed nanobots that made him appear like Smoke. However, the current Smoke has the potential into turning into something like that, but as actual smoke, due to his demonic heritage.

Good point- they certainly exist.
I'm guessing the showed the Rain stuff because he was in such high demand,
but there's no reason they shouldn't show Skarlet and Kenshi, as well.

I 100% agree with this.

The super long hair should have been a special thing...just like long bangs and other minute accessories that seem to be shared by everyone now.

It's not cool.

About time they released these. I was getting worried.

It's a crying shame the DLC characters don't have alternates. I'm hoping that after the 4th character comes out they release an alternate pack for all four characters.

Letter G would be the perfect alternate. More skin, the pony-tail ect, it would make both sides happy. People who enjoy the more traditional palet swap look will have his primary and those who want something different would have his alt.

Not to mention number G compliments Jade's alt extremely well, what with the long pony-tail ect.

I think long hair on Rain just looks... fabulous. Truly, no razor would dare cut his godly locks.


(Rain's hidden alternate costume brings the goods).

Oh, I loved the Foley sound guys sounding off on how they made Rain's squishy, wet sounds.

After following the MK team for years , I have never ever been disappointed by them. Still , they tend to create a set of creative designs and pick the simplest , the one the represents the classic origin.

Same happened with the arenas in this game. Look at the Nekropoils or at the art book .. KRAZY concepts and the chosen ones are those which represent the classic stuff.

Maybe we will get them to head to the new direction with the new game since it won't be MK4 remake.

That's the point of this rehash.:/

I hope they adopt a more MKDA-A styled design in future games. THose were at it's peak..

Pictures I and J are definitely my favorites.

He looks more unique and very distinctive when compared to the rest of the "ninjas". I wish either one of those two (preferably I) would have been his final costume design.

If not for the whole look, it would have been fantastic if they would have made his arms, hands, and eyes look like that every-time he is doing a special move or Fatality. It would have been absolutely epic and it would have made him more distinctive.

Concept G is my second favorite just because he looks a lot more "loose" than the rest of the ninjas, like, he shows a bit of skin without the need of hundreds of accessories around his chest and arms.

I dislike the hair though...I think I've had enough of super long hair styles like that. It's actually starting to bother me. It looked cool with Fujin in MKA, but, I think only Sindel and Kitana should have stayed that way. No one else needs huge braids and supernatural looking hair.

Anyway, the picture with Stryker (sniff sniff) is awesome.

I still haven't bought him or seen any of him to comment on his gameplay, fatalities, etc, but, I love what the video talks about his sound effects and how he was a very popular DLC characters.


I pretty much agree with all of this. Well... No, I still agree with all of it.

Nice new sig, by the way. D'you make it?

It's official - Rain slaughters everybody.

I'm torn that they didn't use his hair from design G, and from the sounds of it there won't be an alternate. Oh well, there's always MK10.

So true, it's like they're given the green light to go nuts with their imagination, but when it comes time to decide they're like "Oh... let's just play it safe and give the fans what they're used to."

He already has one. And instead they added water effects to him, so he would be more unique.

In agreement with everyone else about that other sketch with the skin and hair, sooooo much better. I still like Rains main look but it almost seems like they were playing it too safe and listening to all the "_______ doesn't look enough like a ninja" complaints that were floating awhile ago

the water elemental angle is neat, but I'm glad they scrapped it, wouldn't have minded it turning up in his ending or fatalities though

would love love love to see that skin/hair concept and a UMK3/MKT kostume turn up as DLC eventually
