wow, what a waste. Sonya and Jax would've been better than this, i'm sorry to anyone who likes them but those damn costumes look terrible. And as i'm sure everyone else has said, why them? They already have MK3 costumes that look just fine. Was anyone even asking for MK2 costumes of them? I'm just praying that the mystery character and those skins aren't as disappointing as these costumes, at least we still have Rain
They wont come with fatalities.
If Sektor and Cyrax didn't, they wont :?
Exactly.
People whined about having to pay for costumes and now they whine about FREE costumes.....I am personally waiting for MK1 Raiden but I am not gonna get my butthole in a tizzy over Jade and Kitana getting yet another costume. Don't like the costumes, that's cool, but you do not have to DL them.
Wow, guys, seriously, no one is saying you have to get this, so you have no reason to complain. If you don't like it, don't get it.
Very true. And considering all the work required to add a fatality compared to an outfit (you have to not only design and animate it, but you need the mo-cap, audio and programing work too), there is no chance we'll see any fatalities added free of charge.
I think that's the problem here, with releasing classics for characters that already have them. Some people may not bother downloading it, which means they won't have the compatibility pack. As the whole point of the freebies is to entice people into downloading the compatibility pack, it seems an odd choice to reuse characters that already have an alternate classic.
But it does entice the dl. Most people, including myself, say "why the hell would NRS shell out skins for 2 fighters that already have 3 or 4?". But what you've not caught onto yet is that YOU WILL BUY/DL THESE CHARACTERS/SKINS so you can have a "complete" game. That's what NRS/WB wants us to do.
gotta say I didn't expect this. at ALL. like wtf, if things continue as they 'should' after this, we should probably get mk2 style mileena and probably rain [?] and then another 6 skins mk2 style for the males? then we should get mk1 style for noob saibot and smoke and after that UMK3 style 3x girl ninjas and 7x male ninjas? yeah no, it makes no sense![]()
ninja said:anyway other than the not making sense, not saying I'm disappointed. not a fan of those particular costumes but they look alright. hoping for UMK3 style for the male ninjasalso, I think they should pay attention to other characters too cause with that rate we'll end up having those ninjas with 15616516 costumes each and the rest of the roster will still have just two

Actually it makes sense. Compatibility packs are free therefore you are receiving two costumes for free. By releasing each classic costume NRS says that more DLC characters will come because the following classic costumes aren't released yet:
MK1: Noob, Smoke
MK2: Mileena, Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Reptile, Ermac
MK3: Cyrax/Sektor styled costume for Cyber-Sub-Zero, Unmasked Sub-Zero.
UMK3: Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Reptile, Ermac, Smoke, Noob
Making 15 costumes and thus implying that 8 more characters will come as DLC.
Btw. the UMK3 kunoichi costumes were already released.
Furthermore by releasing classic ninja costumes for free they make space for the other characters in the classic costume packages: Making it a win-win situation for classic costumes! (I don't say that we won't get one new fresh alternates later on).
Also I think that NRS is trying to redeem, for charging for already on-disc DLC by releasing classic ninja and kunoichi costumes for free. Which is IMHO a good thing.
First of all we will definitely get the UMK3 male ninja costumes and as for the other combatants they will receive their costumes in the classic skin pack 2,3 and 4 as well as Rain and Skarlet. Not to mention Kenshi and Quan-Chi although they will get MK4, MKDA, MKA, MKD costumes.
As for the other rooster candidates. Just be patient. They will get their classic costumes and if they didn't had many classic in the first place they will just receive new alternates. In the end every character will have 5-6 costumes not more! I am very positive about this.
You do have to download the skins. Remember, they come with Rain's Compatibility Pack, which is mandatory for all people playing Mortal Kombat 9 online. You can choose not to play online, though, and you don't have to use them, either.Why would you guys komplain about free stuff? You don't have to download it!
Yes they do..... Unused EASY palatte swap. Ijit.Mileena and Cyber Smoke. lol they have nothing to do with each other.
Unused EASY palatte swap.
I like the DLC plan you mentioned abovethey said they'd be 'aggressive' on DLC, I'm hopeful too for costumes. it's the easiest DLC they can make so.. yeah. as for the rest of the roster, the problem is some of them have pretty similar outfits already so getting a classic would be uhh.. very slightly different?
ninja said:also, the way you wrote about the costumes above made me realize that those characters PROBABLY won't get post mk3 costumes. I mean, due to mk being a 'fan service' for those three, we can't see Cage f.e. as he was in armageddon, correct? that should be the case anyway. Kenshi on the other hand, they kinda.. have to give him alts from the games he HAS been in![]()
ninja said:I guess after that I hope for brand new costumes for each character. also, brand new alt for each DLC char before giving them retros.
Exactly, the next compatibility pack will be MK2 Mileena and MK3 Smoke mark my words. Yes, they have nothing to do with each other character wise or even game-installment wise being from different sequels but they aren't going to release the scrapped MK2 Kitana & Jade just to leave Mileena out and same applies to Smoke with the MK3 Sektor and Cyrax. Tom Brady was quoted on some stream saying MK3 Smoke would be released as a skin/ costume and not a new character so everyone should probably just focus their speculations towards the fourth DLC character.
Funny thing is, had this been MK3 Smoke released with Rain on Tuesday, nobody would be saying a damn thing but he already has an MK2 costume from the last compatibility pack.
I wish Jade had the darker skin / tan. MKII inspired doesn't mean you have to make it the exact same.
They shouldn't have done Kitana and Jade anyways, too many other characters would have been better served at the moment.
