Skarlet = Kira?
03/06/2011 11:08 PM EST
I'm beginning to think that since Kitana's alt. is chained up, maybe the red chick chained up could the alt. for Kira.

Think about it, what if they're retconning it to be that Kira was "Skarlet" all along. She was around, a terrorist in Earthrealm during Kahn's invasion, wreaking havoc.

It may be unlikely but, maybe I'm onto something here. Maybe she was "behind the scenes" in the original Trilogy, and she was "spotted" by people, but never playable.

The red hair, the red/black costume. Perhaps she escapes Kahn's imprisonment and goes on to join the Black Dragon, since Kabal maybe was sort of scouting her activities in the old games.

I'd buy that... even though she had recycled moves, I thought she had potential... (more than Kobra)...

Kira was young in MK Deception. For her to be in this game, maximum she would probably be early teens. So unless she developed into a full blown woman by the age of 12 I somewhat doubt it's Kira.

If it was indeed Kira, tell me why she is masked while the chained Kitana we've seen recently is unmasked. Some people even say the Lady in Red has white eyes like Scorpion, suggesting she is undead or something alike... if that's te case, then it can't really be Kira either. And one more thing. Kira is in her 20's when she appears in MKD, and this game is supposedly happening 10 years or so before, so Kira would be in her teens... and the Lady in Red definately looks like she's older than a teenager.

So no, I don't believe that would be Kira.

skarlet was a rumoured character in mk2, so they are just reliving that like they do with all other rumours i.e. Ermac

I'm sorry, where exactly does it officially state in the games that Kira is in her early 20s during MKD?

Sounds to me like something everyone is just assuming so we don't have to think about the possibility of Kira existing in a different role before she was recruited by Kabal.

I'm all for this because I think MK needs many less characters, not more...

But it's not likely. This Lady In Red is probably a new character. Just what we don't need.

Although we do need more chicks.

Yay for Lady In Red!

According to Lupinko, the red chick's name hadn't been decided yet as of a couple weeks ago when he tweeted about her.

If she were Kira, she'd have a name already.

They all have huge hands... some bigger than others. I guess it is a normal design given to fighting game characters so we as players can see the punches (and kicks as many of them seem to have rather large feet as well) better.

I don't know!!!
*cries on your shoulder*

But until we get any, there's not much to talk about Jade. There was a Jade thread going on, but it kinda slided through the forum pages as there was little to talk about....

She looks fantastic though...

Bo'Rai Cho and Kitana are thousands of years old, and Li Mei might be as well seeing as they are all from other worlds than Earthrealm. However, Kira is a human from Earthrealm, so she ages like the rest of us. Kira could be in her early 30's though.

i sure hope not. was never really a fan of the sonya/kano hybrid. imo she just did not work. sure, it would be nice to have more redheads in mk but not reason enough to have kira back in mk.

Maybe Kira has a sister or something.

The new red woman is a cool character! I definitely fell in love with her as a red hair. She's my second favorite character of MK, and I'm a bigger fan of her! Also I'm the biggest Kira fan. Lupinko leaked the red chick is playable. I can't wait to see the red chick gameplay video!

I don't know exactly the time between MKDA and MKAr, but MKDA is 10 years after MK1 events, and 4 after MK4. Kira and Kobra are too young/unexperienced to appear in first Trilogy.
