Story Mode costumes comparison

[Kuriishi]

Hey, so recently I thought it would be interesting to see how the costumes have changed from MK9 to MK11 for the characters coming from the "past" in the MK11 Story. Feel free to take a look. Maybe someone else will find it as interesting as I did...

lol Sonya and Skarlet used to be that revealing. That would never be acceptable now.

I never really liked MK9 Sonya's design. I think the MKX one improved it a lot. Skarlet, I much prefer her design in MK9 than in MK11. It makes more sense for her based on her lore

Can't agree with that, MK had enough artificial creations and especially colored ninjas through years. Kitana, Mileena and Jade goes away from "palette swap" design for a new and unique one, Skarlet did the same for some backstory, personality and blood witch design instead of another aberration or simply blood golem to serve Shao Kahn. Which is good in my opinion.

I am no expert in the lore. But I believe in MK9 Skarlet was a female ninja. By MK11 she is a cross vampire and witch theme.

Lol, I actually discussed Skarlet in great detail in this thread.

They did add a bit more depth to Skarlet's backstory which I'm okay with but I still think her costumes aren't so fitting for her character.

The costumes in MK9 were all unique though, too. I liked MKX's rendition of Kitana's tournament costume. I think it's a shame we didn't get to see that in MK11. Same for a similar costume for Jade. We got to see a Tanya redesign in MKX which was also good

When Aftermath releases and we see more DLC characters, I'm gonna update this, I think. Oh, and I was thinking, maybe I should add Cyrax and Sektor since they have an interesting development despite them not being playable in MK11? They still are NPC's

Cyborgs are pretty much same in MK9, MKX and MK11.

A lot of the other costumes are pretty much the same, but it's interesting nonetheless. Also, MK9 introduces them as humans

I miss the old female costumes so much.

I mean, I don't care if I am a weeb or ♥♥♥♥, it is something I was used to and I really liked them. It would be nice to have them at least as bonus.

I'm ok to have more "realistic" (?) costumes during the story mode, but hey... give us those ti**ies back ploz.

lol, liking the old costumes doesn't make you a "weeb". That's completely unrelated. Personally, I think they should've used the "Tournament" Costumes for the female ninja characters that returned when they came through the portal. It actually just dawned upon me recently that those costumes are supposed to be from the past lol.

I'm not really a fan of the art direction for certain characters. We should've gotten MKX Tournament Kitana, a similar rendition of Jade's MK9 costume, MK9 Skarlet and MKX Sonya Tournament. Then it would be more fitting imo. Just for the record though, those costumes are definitely not realistic XD. All the guys fight barechested and the girls fight in heels

Hey, if anyone's interested I updated the guide with Aftermath Character comparisons :)

I was really impressed, in particular with how intricate a design Shang Tsung's is in MK11

"When I was younger and ho'-ing on the streets, I used to wear THIS!" - Skarlet, Jade, Sonya, Kitana lol

Nice guide!
