I understand your logic. But all of those characters share so many traits similiar to ninjas that people should be justified to label them that way.
Reptile: Didn't he start out sneaking around using his stealth to do reconaisance? And doesn't he dress like a ninja and fight like a ninja? Yes and yes. All are ninja qualities.
Ermac: "Warriors and ninjas are different fighters." Are u really going to go down that route? Either way ninjas where on an episode of Deadliest Warrior. So according to Spike TV ninjas are warriors and that is a highly credible source.
Noob Saibot: Dresses like ninja, fights like ninja, and is stealthy like ninja. Why can't he be a wraith with an emphasis on ninja style, thus worthy of the ninja label.
However, my point is, if u took a person who never heard of MK and showed them pictures of Scorpion, Sub-zero, Smoke, Reptile, Ermac, and Noob and asked them to describe what they look like, I'm willing 10/10 times they say ninja some where in their description. I think that is Milaana's point by saying there are too many ninjas already. A big portion of UMK3 had characters who all looked exactly like ninjas and the only difference between their appearance was color. In speaking in that respect do u think u could let it slide? I'm telling u already I won't be saying; hey in the new MK their are too many guys that wear oriental scarf esque masks on their faces. If I talk like that I'm going to have too kick my own ass.

I call Sub-Zero Lin Kuei and not ninja. If they're not ninjas but being called one, they can defend their case by stating they're not ninjas, whether or not they're dressed up like one.
It's just like stating how the Wizard character in Diablo 3 isn't a Sorceress despite that she/he's got magic abilities that one would claim that a sorceress would have.
Just because they dress the same doesn't mean they need to act like that. So the Lin Kuei acts like ninjas but claim they are not. If they claim they are not ninjas, then they are not ninjas.
But you're just talking about two characters while all the others don't act like ninjas at all anymore.
Reptile, he lost his ninja ways a long time ago and is working more on aiming to get his race back. Getting betrayed and feeling completely useless that he needs a master to get ruled by. I don't ever recall ninjas feeling the need to be owned by a master.
Ermac, he is composed of warrior souls, warriors and ninjas are two different fighters.
Noob Saibot is a shadow who could care less about anything but himself, uses clones to fight against opponents. Ninjas don't use clones. Not to mention, Noob lost his weapons, therefore he cannot be a ninja anymore he is a shadow.
I'd get more into it, but I really feel like shit today and I've stated this so many times in the past that it should be clear on how these characters are no longer ninjas.
I'm not trying to say anything offensively by the way.

Oh god, not this shit again. People say ninjas, because they look like ninjas and it is easier to say than Lin Kui or Hell spawn spectre. I think the whole thing is retarded that Sub-zero claims he isn't a ninja, because he dresses just like one. To me it is the equivelant of some girl dressing like a slut, and being insulted when guys look at her or treat her in that manner.

Once again, it is retarded that the writers decided that these character's denounce their ninja traits. To me they are still ninjas however, their priorities have changed. I wrestled in high school, and now I'm a full time college student. I have still retained all of those wrestling skills and I still consider myself a wrestler its just that my priorities have changed. Sub-zero and Scorpion look like ninjas, use ninja weapons, and fight like ninjas. I say ninja, its just that their priorities and affiliations prevent them from being a traditional generic ninja. Technically not ninjas but they have a strong emphasis on being ninjas, and for that it should be accepted to use that term to label them.

You're right about showing pictures to people who never played this game and having them say that they are ninjas. You make good points, a lot.
But, I like being technical, that's the whole point. Believe me, I just like being technical.

ANd I learned Smoke-fans are easiest to irritate, they are irritated by everything.

WHAT? Scorpion is not an actual scorpion?
Aww fuck!

Well, we are discussing Smoke the character from Mortal Kombat, not actual smoke as in the gas... So your babbling isn't really making any sense. It would be like comparing Scorpion with an actual scorpion, or Subbie with an icicle...
They aren't real!!!

Apparently I seem to cause people to type things they don't mean.

Some one that nobody has really mentioned that I would like to see given another chance is Blaze. He does originally show up in MK2 which is dead center in the middle of this games time line..
I would love to see Smoke revealed though!
Or how about both? Where theres Smoke, theres fire after all
