Klassic Costume Pack Discussion

Re: Blueberry & Lime/Kitana and Jade MK2 Costumes Confirmed

I'm irked that people are complaining about how Jade lost her tan. I for one think that she looks a shi ton better with light skin... like how the concept art had her!
 
Re: Blueberry & Lime/Kitana and Jade MK2 Costumes Confirmed

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

I was wanting MK2 all along! I've always loved their MK2 outfits, and they really should have been the pre-orders from the beginning, so this is just making things right. And honestly, I couldn't care less about klassic Sonya or Jax. People complain about the MK2 Kitana/Mileena/Jade look, but Sonya's klassic outfits just suck. Those are the ones I just don't get people's love for.

They wont come with fatalities.

If Sektor and Cyrax didn't, they wont :?

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.

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.

But you're going to be using at least the Jade outfit though, right? ;) I know I'll be using the Kitana one plenty myself.

That all said, although I do LOVE these outfits, the breasts do look a tad too large, and thus a little odd. Aside from that though (which is something I can easily overlook, seeing as I need to do it with virtually every other female in the game (basically everyone but Skarlet)), they're perfect!
 
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.

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.

Why would you guys komplain about free stuff? You don't have to download it!

I asked Boon several times if new or updated fatalities are in contension for dlc. He hasn't responded. I guess 20 years of faithful buying and playing doesn't mean a damn thing.

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.

I beg to differ. Not everyone has downloaded the previous packs, which contained more popular characters who lacked classic costumes (judging by the amounts I play them online). What NRS wants us to do is irrelevant.
 
Re: Blueberry & Lime/Kitana and Jade MK2 Costumes Confirmed

I'm shocked they're releasing skin packs of characters in previous ones. IMO this is a waste since they already have one and two characters that didn't have skin packs should of gotten the chance this time. Hope the same doesn't happen for the future characters.
 
Re: Blueberry & Lime/Kitana and Jade MK2 Costumes Confirmed

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 :P 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 ninjas :D also, 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 :P

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.
 
Re: Blueberry & Lime/Kitana and Jade MK2 Costumes Confirmed

I totally expected this.
You guys should expect palette swappes costumes in the next DLC pack too.

I like the DLC plan you mentioned above :P they 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?

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 :P

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.

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.


I personally don't mind the MK2 skins for Kitana and Jade, other than their boobs look weird wearing the outfits.
 
Re: Blueberry & Lime

Mileena and Cyber Smoke. lol they have nothing to do with each other.
Yes they do..... Unused EASY palatte swap. Ijit.
I think Mileena & Cyber Smoke are most likely the contenders for the next DLC because Rain and Skarlet are DLC and therefore not available to everyone (although I wouldn't rule them out in the future), and Cyber Reptile wouldn't be classed as a Klassic.
 
Re: Blueberry & Lime

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.

Thanks. Costumes and fatalities are the easiest DLC, following X-Ray moves and Victory and entry poses. The hardest DLC which requires the most work are characters and stages. We will see characters but we won't see stages until we do a gigantic petition.

As for the costume differences:

I promise that I'll make a full coverage of the costume differences for the rest of the rooster but not in this thread because then it'll easily get lost.

Exactly, MK9 is a reboot and rejuvenation of MK1-3 (and all the compilations of them), therefore we will only see costumes from MK1-3 for all MK1-3 characters. And as you've already guessed, Kenshi and Quan-Chi are an exception they will get their classic MK4, MKDA, MKD and MKA costumes because they d

Some of the characters might even get two new alternates because they didn't have many classic costumes. But in the end each character will have up to 6 costumes at max. I also think that Sub-Zero won't get any new alternates because he will have at the end his MK1,MK2,MK3 and UMK3 costume, therefore having 6 costumes. And NRS won't give many alternate costumes because they want to keep their ideas for MK10 but if you look in the art book then you'll see that there are plenty of alternate ideas reserved for MK9 this will be the basis for the alternates not surprisingly new costumes :)

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.

Your idea is quite possible. It is risky to release as DLC MK2 Skarlet cause she would be too similar to Mileena (colour, weapon). And Robo Smoke - he's in one of Raiden's visions, am I wrong or is he the same model/unit as Sektor? If yes, then NRS has already Smoke's model and can only add new animations.
 
Re: Blueberry & Lime/Kitana and Jade MK2 Costumes Confirmed

You guys that DON'T want Kitana and Jade but are eating this up, and *****ing at others for being disgruntled, make me sick. If we don't like the concept of them releasing costumes for characters that already have 2 alternates available, but yet there are 4 characters that have NO alt costumes and lots of characters that only have one alt... It's just poor choices by NRS. I'm not going to be all like "PRAISE BE NRS FOR THEY ARE GREAT BECAUSE THEY RELEASE GARBAGE FOR FREE TO JUSTIFY MAKING ALL THEIR PAID DLC SUPER EXPENSIVE" **** that.

Seriously, if people don't like this, they don't have to like it. I don't see why people feel compelled to tell them what they should do. I personally think that Kitana and Jade MK2 costumes are a waste, but I'm getting them anyway because I got the season pass. I don't have to just "be grateful" because I've pumped $75 into NRS's game that doesn't provide the best online, doesn't release full content for every DLC character and does repeat DLC for character costumes now. =\

She does have darker skin. What are you talking about?
