Well given a choice between the two, I'd rather it be an X-Ray than a Fatality. I feel like they could maybe come up with something better for her actual finishers. (I'd particularly like her version of the Kiss of Death to come back, where their joints all suddenly and horrifically bend the wrong way.)

Though the way the head wouldn't stop spinning after she hopped off in the Fatality version was pretty amusing.

One of my absolute favorite MK4-era characters, and very possibly in my top ten. The boomerang should absolutely make a return; were it up to me I'd straight up replace her fireballs with it. Didn't really feel the Kobu Jutsu weapons from MKD - now that Stryker's back in the house, I feel he should have a monopoly on things tonfa-related. I'd also ditch the MKD invisibility, though. Enough people have it already.

Those aside, I wouldn't change a thing about her moveset. She feels kinda like a street fighter character in an MK game - Chun-Li's hazan shu, Cammy's cannon drill, Akuma's air fireball. I enjoy that.

Neck-breaking spin is a must. She needs something else though; too many ladies kissing enemies to death already. Something completely new; for the life of me I can't even recall one of her MKD fatals off the top of my head, and I remember her ripping out thigh-bones or rib-bones and jamming them into her enemy's neck for the other one, which I found exceedingly clumsy and dumb. Maybe she could whip out a kobu jutsu or boomerang, jump into the air, set it on fire, and whip it down into the enemy's chest so the flames spread and they burn to death.

Always had one of the better designs, but boy, do I ever agree that this is the one lady who should be rocking heels. Those giant yellow galoshes from Deception pissed me off.

Were she included, I'd enjoy actually seeing her as a neutral figure under Kahn's regime, always out for self, someone who plays both sides. She could help Kitana escape from Kahn during the MK3 period, perhaps for a price (IIRC we don't actually know exactly how Kitana managed that - Not that she needs help or anything, but she might have had it). She could then follow her in secret, find out where the Earthrealm warriors are located, and report back to Kahn so he can send out his extermination squads. That's basically the type of behavior I'd expect from her.

I'd have her ending be such that her capacity for duplicity hasn't gone unnoticed, and Quan Chi steps forward with his offer, which she accepts.

Her kiss of death would be an awesome x-ray. It can start out with her kiss, then show her opponents limbs breaking one by one.

I know she'll make it in and I can't wait to play with her would definitely like to see the boomerang again, and I actually like Tanya's kiss fatality a hell of a lot more than all the ones kitana has had, Tanya's was just more brutal to me so i would like to see that return in some way shape or form whether it be fatality or x ray doesn't matter

And I'm curious why does everyone say she isn't a ninja? I thought she was considering khameleon copies only from the ninja females and they included tanyas surge in khammy's move set in Armageddon

I actually really liked her big platform boots from Deception. Her look in Deception is one of my all time favourite redesigns. I'm not crazy about her MK4 look - I like it but to me she looked fantastic in Deception. I hope if she does return they take inspiration from that look instead of her MK4 look.

Tanya. Is. A. MUST:



1) She looks fantastic (her MKD primary is one of the best redesigns ever) and unique.

2) She has tons of potential story-wise. Her role is interesting.

3) Her gameplay and special moves are fun.

4) That Neck Twister Fatality and breaker are PERFECTION.

5) And she proved she's not a lame "Kitana-clone".

I want Tanya. I just hope they don't drastically alter her look like the did with Jade's. Both have gone from 1 thing (classic games) to the other (MKD). No need to once again make them look "new" or "like someone else". Tanya should keep her MKD features/hair style.

I just say loose the "Kiss of Death" Fatality. As awesome as it is, and as much as I love this idea:



I rather she gets her own unique finishers and leave the whole "Kiss of Doom" concept for Kitana.

yes, yes tanya is a MUST. seriously. Shes just awesome

I would love for Tanya to be in MK9. One thing I definitely agree with is for her neck snapping fatality(or x-ray) to come back. I actually liked her roughness in Deception, it really made her look like a tough female opponent. I did this for another thread but I thought I'd post it here too.

There is no point for Tanya to have a mask. She has never had a mask before, and shes not a ninja.

She pretty much is. Hard luck bro.
