I'm really liking Jade so far. The few moves she's done look awesome, and she's really beautiful. I hope her alt has her maskless, I'm sure she'll be in the running for video game vixen again...

I've always thought the Edenian women were quite beautiful, but Jade has that added exotic and mysterious look to her that makes her seem more attractive, I think. Because Kitana is definately very beautiful as well.

A funny theory is that the Edenians are SO beautiful that Shao Kahn ordered them all to wear masks to hide their faces so they wouldn't distract his other warriors from completing their tasks or on the battlefield. And perhaps that is one of the reasons Kitana was gaining the upper hand when she fought against Kahn, because then she was being maskless and used her beauty to distract her enemies.

As a fantasy-RPG fan, I've always seen Edenians as the Elves of Mortal Kombat, because of their beauty, long life-spans and their affinity for magic. The Edenian characters are all lithe and agile fighters who uses magic as a natural part of their fighting style, where someone like Sindel and Tanya are doing more so than others, being more like sorceress' than assassins.

It also seems like it's the only race in MK which has a matriarchal rule which is a common thing amongst Dark Elves in various fantasy settings.

I kinda thought of it that way also, I liked how in MKA when they gave Rain more of a backstory, they explained that Edenians are descendants of gods, thats why they are so noble and strong and have such longevity, also why they are so beautiful. I like to think of Edenia as like a paradise garden of Eden place and everyone is all stunningly beautiful and godly. Kinda like the Beverly Hills of the other realms, just to make some kind of relevant analogy.

I like the "when Khan took over the Edenian's he took under his rule, Kitana/Jade had to wear masks because they were so beautiful" the denizens and other Outworld warriors were mesmerized by their beauty, like the Tarkatans would go crazy or something.

True, but I doubt that any of Shao Kahn's men would be able to withstand their beauty even with the mask on. wink

I just think the mask is ued for decoy purposes only. Like how Mileena (or even Jade for that matter) is able to pretend to be Kitana since nobody knows what they really look like.

Of course, it was just a fun theory. ^^

However, with them being colour-coded, it isn't that hard to see who's who... though the Edenians sure were being blind in MKD, not being able to recognize Mileena posing as Kitana.

Kabal's cool and all, but there needs to be other character threads in the front page lol. That being said, what do y'all think about Jade's fatality? I love it, I wonder if the razorrang is going to chop off more than the head though...

And then you chose to post in the Jade thread. ^^ That's sweet of you.

The problem is though, there aren't really anything about Jade to discuss that hasn't already been chatted about. And that's because there haven't been anything new about her for some time now. I am still awaiting for some proper in-game footage of her, so we can finally discuss her gameplay in this game.

As for the fatality, I strongly hope it won't be yet another chopping limbs fatality. A decapitation is cool and all, but it's also so typical MK3. Re-inventing old fatalities is quite neat though, such as Jade's Staff Impale, but when adding new fatalities they should be more creative in doing so.

I hope to be surprised though. If not, then oh well... It's still Jade doing the chopping. ;)

Yeah, chopping fatalities lol. I wonder what they would do with Jade if they wanted to stray from weapon-themed fatalities. Kitana and Mileena have a kiss fatality, would something like that fit with Jade?
And I'm getting ansty about Jade's gameplay too, I think she was on the offensive once so far *teamed up with Kitana against Sindel*, I would have much rather them officially revealed Jade than Kabal.
And yeah, we're pretty much kicking a dead horse until it's resurrected lol *this is MK afterall*. On a random note, I drew Jade, I just need to ink and color it :)

I am just really happy that
Spoilers: (Highlight to reveal)
They kept the Kitana/Jade friendship in the new MK.
That has always been my favorite story line. Im also happy that we get an explanation of where Jade came from and how she came under Shao Khan's ward. The only thing I am not so pleased with is Jade's ending, for those of you who read the leaks, wtf is up with Jade's ending? Does anyone understand it?

I'm really excited about Jade. I kind of like that they aren't showing her gameplay all that much, it's going to make playing as her for the first time that much more surprising. If she is unlocked from the start, then she is the first character I will pick I think.

I too hope she has an unmasked alt.

Does anyone know about Jades past like her parents or where she came from? And what realm was Mileena created because she may have Kitana's DNA but if she wasnt created in Edenia then does that mean shes not edenian??

Yes, it is part of the leaked bios.
If you care to know, read below. ;)

Behold the magnificence that is Jade's bio:

Spoilers: (Highlight to reveal)
"An assassin for Shao Kahn, Jade has earned a reputation as an agile and stealthy warrior. Her family was Edenian nobility and served the emperor once he conquered their realm, giving Jade to him as tribute when she was a child. After years of rigorous training in the art of kombat, Shao Kahn awarded her the position of Bodyguard to Princess Kitana. Over the centuries she and Kitana have become close friends, which makes Jade's secret orders from Shao Kahn painful to accept: Should Kitana's loyalty falter, Jade must kill her friend."

Jade's boomerang fatality is looking good, I hope her other one involves her staff. I always like the impale from MK3, I wouldnt mind an update to that, where she kicks them then impales them on the staff, of the head impale from MKD was cool also.
