We all should know by now Tanya is a likely candidate for DLC. She is one of my favorite characters and I am thrilled at the thought of not waiting another game to play as her.

Appearance:

Throughout her appearances, she has maintained a leotard and traditional yellow and black palette. In MK4 and her MKD alternate, it has similarities with the Mortal Kombat 2 Female Ninja costume. In her MKD primary, it resembles the UMK3 ninja female more. But her alternate in MK4 was more of a battle dress inspired look, with a gray primary color. During the time period, her eyes have also changed from being normal human eyes to having white undead eyes with black make-up around them.

How would you want her to look?

Storyline:

During this time period, it is still uncertain as to her whereabouts other than she is in Outworld with the rest of her enslaved realm. We never got to see what she was doing during this era and why she was doing it.

What would you like to see as far as her bio, ending and maybe even Story Mode Chapter and Vignette?

Gameplay:

In Mortal Kombat 4, Tanya was the best character. She was fast and great zoning capabilities. Her specials were a great contributor to that. In that game she also used a boomerang, which was stated to make a return in Mortal Kombat Deception, but unfortunately, she didn't have it in.

From MK4-MKD, her moveset also got a radical changed to become fired based, as opposed to more magic energy. I found that to be be incerdibly boring, and would've prefered a more sorcress like in a way.

She should keep all her moves, but changed the fire and incorporate her boomerang into her fighting style. She needs to be agile and tricky.

For her X-Ray, she should utilize her deceptive nature and start a counter.

How do you think she should play?

Intro/Outro/Winposes:

For her intro, she should also be very deceptive. Make her sound innocent and convincing.

I would love for her victory stance from MK4 to return. It can be used for either her mid-round winpose or her final victory stance.

Her getup should not be that animalistic one from Mortal Kombat Deception.

What would you like to see?

Fatalities:

I would love to see the return of her two Mortal Kombat 4 fatalities.

Her Neck Snap can be kept simple as is, or add another hit or two, such as a knee to the face before jumping on the opponent an snapping the neck. Bring back the replay!!

The Kiss of Destruction should make the opponent contort their body in really disturbing ways. Make the enemy scream in agony before the explosion.

What are your ideas?

Any other thing you'd like to add?

*For me, I want her to actually sound feminine in battle. She has to convince me that she is truly innocent.

Deception Tanya was so boring without the neck snap or boomerang. They have definitely got to bring those back.

Personality-wise...is tricky, because the only thing we know of Tanya's backstory revolves around the fact that she's the daughter of a politician in Sindel's royal court...a royal court that doesn't exist yet. So I always pictured her as a bit of a snobbish aristocrat, but what would she have been like when Shao Kahn still ran the place?

It's late and I'll add more tomorrow, but-
After Rain, Tanya is *absolutely* the character I most want to see as DLC.
The thought of playing as her in 2D is quite appealing.
I'm of the same thought of using her Neck Snap Fatality as an X-Ray.
Also, I like the idea of erasing the fire and going back to boomerangs and sorcery.
Storywise, I would love for her to end this chapter looking like a "good guy," so that she might actually convince newcomers she's on the up and up, then show her true nature in the next game. Or she could betray *us* by actually staying a good guy (I'd rather she didn't, though).

The one thing that would totally make me wet my pants?
If she had a "genuine" Ninja costume as an alt, mask and all.
Night, y'alls!

Now you've done it. You're about to get attacked by a bunch of butthurt Tanya fans about how she's not a ninja.

But she isn't. She never was. It wouldn't look right to me if she had a genuine ninja look.

Appearance wise, I loved her MKD main outfit. It was simple yet beautiful, her corset like bustier and the sash looked good on her, the boots were quite cool and different from all the thigh-high boots most of the other girls wore, and the black and yellow design was quite nice. Different from her MK4 outfit, yet similar enough for her design to be consistent. I also loved her hair in MKD and she had an almost egyptian theme about her which I think fits her perfectly. I'd like for something similar to return.

I don't like the black superhero mask though. Instead give her some black make-up that might seem a bit excessive to give her a villainous look.

I prefer the tonfa-blades from MKD over the boomerang. Jade already have a boomerang-like weapon, and having both dark females to have a boomerang would just be plain silly. The tonfa-blades are unique and cool for melee fighting and I could totally see Tanya use them instead of unarmed fighting.

I see Tanya more as a sorceress character, being a politician and a diplomat instead of a warrior and have dwelled in some dark arts, using fire as her main element of sorcery. I liked how they implemented fire into her special moves besides her fireballs, the Split Flip Kick and the Human Cannon Drill as well, to show that she has become more powerful in the magic arts. Also her newest move, Find Me which is an invisibility spell, fit her perfectly as it could hint to that she prefers to stay out of fighting and hide in the shadows than directly engage in a battle if it can be avoided.

Story-wise, if Tanya will appear in this game as a DLC, it could be her trying to make a bond of trust with Kitana and Sindel, convincing them that she is on their side and wishes to help them free Edenia, all the while she is two-timing them by being a spy for Shinnok and helping him and Quan Chi to find a way to enter Edenia.

Personality-wise, I loved how they presented Tanya in MK4, being a heavy flirtatious and charming woman, using her looks and sexuality to seduce men and gain their trust, playing the innocent girl while actually being a treachorous snake. Her personality was kinda devoided in MKD which I think is a shame.

The only fatality I liked of Tanya's is her MK4 Neck Breaker fatality. It was simple yet cool. All her other fatalities were kinda boring. I'd like it if she used her sorcery in a fatality, maybe doing some ritual chanting to make the opponent burst into fire and then laugh evilly at them as the opponent's flesh burns from his bones. Again, it's simple and it is something else than the typical dismemberment fatalities which we've seen so many of lately.

I love Tanya how she is for the most part. I think her appearance is one of the best in the game. black and yellow, black and yellow, black and yellow

Her neck snap was cool, i want that back. And i kind of want her to have a mask in one of her costumes.

Tanya is one of those after-mk3 characters I actually love and care about to be in this game, I hope she's DLC! She could be there as she's edenian, but the traitor parts are not yet out so she should be a good girl in here (maybe Raiden tells that she becomes a bitch later on)

I don't like fire-magic on her, it would be cooler to become an illusionist character, nobody uses illusions, and her with invisibility it would be a kind of illusionistic art for her.

Trickery and illusions goes well togehter, and with her deceptive background it would all make sense to me, she must become the Mastermind (x-men enemy) character from MK. I loved her deception looks, I didn't really liked her mk4 looks, and a yellow ninja kitana alternative would be sweet, I would be curious to see that in yellow, would look cool!

Having traitors like Tanya and Rain,no wonder Edenia fell to Shao Kahn. I might actually write the fanfic about Fall of Edenia,it is quite interesting )

As for Tanya,I still don't understand why she betrayed her homeland.I mean,she was already the daughter of ambassador of Edenia,why betray all this to be in Shinnok's tenr? Maybe Shinnok enslaved her will long before the restoration of Edenia for future plans? Actually it would be cool if it was true,it will show how Netherrealm invasion was mastermind of strategy and planning.I definitely want to see her background to clear this out.

I would be very delighted if she's in. She's one of my favorites after MK3, she's someone who we all thought was good and then found out she's a bitch...

Despite that some of her moves aren't really too interesting, such as the boomerang and the fireball... why they changed that for her in Deception, I don't know, they need to spunk her up a bit with the moves.

I like the cannon drill, that's one of my favorite moves. But with her fatalities... what the fuck were her fatalities in Deception? They were hardly entertaining at all. Different, yes, but interesting? No!!! Yeah, she had another kiss of death fatality, but I wouldn't have mind seeing that rather than... popping bones out of knee caps and sticking them in eyes.

Her neckbreaker was sick. Freaking sick.

I wouldn't do anything with her appearance. I liked her look, both primary and alternate in Deception, at least they didn't screw that up.

If she's in this game by any means necessary, I would love to see what they have for her.

That's all I really have to say for my short stay here today.

While i'm against a copy of kitana/jade tanya that is really one motherfucker cool Tanya model, I wish it was her true alternative costume, her deception one being her main one.

I don't know why, but I feel Tanya needs to be in heels. She of all girls should be in heels lol. I guess it's a bad girl thing.

Boy, Milaana. :P It's skyboy.

But yes, high heels perfectly fits Tanya as a character. I honestly think her MK4 outfit was wrong for her. It simply didn't fit her well to be in a leotard like the other MK girls. The sash in her MKD main outfit just did so much for her looks. Without it she would look rather plain.

Heels are good for Tanya, but also, Kitana, Jade, Mileena, and Sindel. The only ones who should not be in heels are Sonya and Sheeva. Please do not bring up heels again, its just like Kitana's hair, its way over discussed.

I really liked Tanya's costumes in MKD, except I did not like how she had the criss cross lacing, that should only be for the female ninjas, which Tanya arguably does not fall under that category. I dont care to discuss her for this game because I have no interest in DLC. Im just going to stick with the game as is when I get it. For future games, I would like to see Tanya suffer for being a traitor to Edenia. I think it would be cool if Edenia became the most powerful realm, Sindel and Kitana became power hungry and took over other realms and Tanya is a prisoner of war. Kitana and Jade torture Tanya or something or have her chained up in some arena.

YOU ROCK!
I was actually going to do this in my free time today, but now I don't need to! Thank you!

As for the folks "reminding" me that Tanya isn't a ninja- *I know*!
Hence why I suggested it as an Alt, not her Main.

Anyway, this is a new timeline. Who says Tanya *isn't* a ninja in this timeline?
Note that I don't *want* her to be one, at least not permanently.
Others have suggested she could be in training with Kitana and Jade, which would explain a ninja look for her.

I remember when I first saw Tanya's hair in MKD, I was really excited to have her in the game. I liked the direction they were going with her, especially because she was really cool in MK4.

After watching her gameplay in MKD and seeing her face, she started become more bland and boring. There was nothing special about her, it was just another random character thrown in the mix.

If they bring her back for MKD, I would like them to give her a bit more personality. If they don't do that, then its best to leave her out. I'd rather see a character at its full potential then see a random character thrown in there. In MKD, I felt like they made a female, put yellow on her and said, "hey lets just call this one Tanya."
