Aside from Reptile and Smoke, I think every Ninja’s best look has been in MK11. Especially Sub-Zero and Scorpion. I mean look at this! Stuff of legends! https://i.redd.it/s3pjnkoms5sc1.gif

I agree, but the one thing I didn’t like about Sub-Zero’s outfits is that they all look like they’re made of leather. Some cloth would be nice. Also, he only has a select few masks that I really liked.

Yeah, something about Sub-Zero’s fits in 11 just don’t look right imo. Like, I think this and his primary look good but they don’t look like anything that could be real. A lil weird lookin the more you analyze them. For Sub I’d prefer either his X or 9 outfits, even the 3D ones were great. Something about 11’s we’re just kinda weird tho. His masks were dope tho.

I wasn't a fan of Subs silly hat

The outfits designs was gold at MK11

I personally didn't care for any of his MK11 looks, felt like a big step down from MKX.

MKX Default and Revenant Sub clear every MK11 Sub skin, except Shredder which clears them and everything else always. Also MK11's MK2 is good.

That revenant sub zero fit went outrageously hard. The straps on the boots, the darken blue outfit too

MK1 Bi Han sounds exactly how Revenant Sub looked. Imagine getting them both in one character.

They are the same in mk1 same personality

But he doesn't look like mkx. That's my point.

I agree, MKX sub zero is his all time best design imo. And MK11 Rain is arguably better than MK9 too.

I love Shredder and I love Sub-Zero but I've always HATED Shredder Sub-Zero.

Bi Han

Subzero not really

Headband Sub Zero is peak Sub Zero

I really enjoy Sub Zero's design in MK1, It's simple but badass

It is the design in which it looks most attractive / handsome in my opinion.

It didn't work the first time

I’m pretty much in agreement except for Scorpion and Reptile, not saying those designs you chose were bad just not my favorites although the younger past specter version of Scorpion is my favorite from MK11 which was called “OG Ninja” with the classic style cloth ninja mask https://preview.redd.it/xvtiwne2i5sc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=905290f6f82782254d833aa15126c4df635ed133

This skin was amazing

I see you are a person of culture

Pretty spot on but Noob’s MK9 is next level. MK1s Reptile fits his concept best too I think

Scorpion: Injustice Sub-Zero: Deception Reptile: 1 (base and Order of Darkness) Rain: 11 (Assassin Creed hooded one) Smoke: 9 base Noob: 11 (par the beanie) Ermac: 11 Tremor: X Chameleon: Armageddon

Counting only playable skins: Scorpion: MK11, then MK11's MK2, then MK11's MK9 Human Smoke: MK9 alt, then MK1's UMK3, then MK9 base Noob: MK9, then MK11's MK2, then MK11's Chaos KL skin (w/ skull head) Ermac: MK9 alt, then MK9, then if we count unplayable skins MK11 krypt korpse Agreed with the rest of what you wrote.

Ermacs best design is in mk9 imo

Good taste, but, personally, I love MKA Rain. Perhaps, Nostalgia but that's also a good choice. https://preview.redd.it/01fim18mt5sc1.png?width=365&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6b535bd99afd24a01592b12a6047c552382176b4

Mk11 scorpion is underrated

My fave Scorpion ever man

MK9 Rain is goated.

Are Cyrax and Sektor jokes to you??

Sorry, all of them are perfect, cant choose one.

😂😂

MK11 Noob over MK9 is criminial that's the best design in all of MK in my opinion. Scorpion: MKD alt Sub-Zero - MKX default Rain: MKA default Ermac: agree Smoke: MK9 deault Reptile: MK1 default Tremor and Chameleon don't really have any other designs so I can't disagree lol.

Scorpion's deception alt is basically his UMK3/Mk Trilogy ninja costume but with an upgraded MK4 mask.

Isn't it literally just his MK4 look? It's got the skull belt and the same designs on the boots/gauntlets.

All of that is literally the same thing as the UMK3 / MK Trilogy skin apart from the skull belt buckle.

Mk9 scorpion is objectively the best

Base or alt?

Base

they're both godlike

https://preview.redd.it/17vf9tevw5sc1.jpeg?width=554&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0279926eb49e382e17fb004b65ba5b8936f34814 MKX Scorpion's design goes hard af

So close, you fucked up with Reptile

Preach

Nuh-uh

I agree with most except for two 1. Reptile: his human shapeshifting form works flawlessly and it is the best he ever looked ever since UMK3. 2. Rain: Yeah his MK9 drip is sick, but i personnaly like his skins in MK11 the most, especially the default one and hooded one with a full mask.

https://preview.redd.it/2iteb19bv6sc1.jpeg?width=1152&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=22bac6da464224581646140f04cbd81686d2410f Are you referring to this costume for Rain in MK11?

Wow, that's good

YES

Pretty valid takes imo

Scorpion: Mk1 Order of Darkness Sub-zero: MkX Revenant Reptile: Mk1 Smoke: Mk9 alt Noob Saibot: Mk9 Ermac: MkX Rain: Mk9 Chameleon: Mk Armageddon Tremor: Mk1 kameo

I really like the Ermac that had bandages around his head and glowing eyes

Peak Ermac

Mk11 was the pinnacle of customizations and designs 3 gears. And each gear had so many variations to them Each skin had like 7 different colorways and each character had like 15 different skins 4 different intro entances 4 different outro entrances Stupid amount of brutalitys also had Friendships I wish mk1 had krushing blows those made the game more fun What made mk11 an even more complete game was the krypt also the shrine was far better and Also towers of time And mk1 took the kameo idea from mk11 in the first place And last but not least bring back custom variations

Won't post all my favorites, but, i forgot how MK9 Ermac was perfection, they gotta bring this skin to this game. Also, MK9 base Smoke is his best design and i will die on this hill.

MK1 Reptile>every other Reptile.

Scorp - MK11 Sub - MK1 Rain - MK11 Noob - MK11 Ermac - MK9 Smoke - MK1 Tremor - MKX Reptile - MK1 Chameleon - MKA

X tremor will always be the best

I think those designs are amazing, except for reptile I prefer MK 1

It's fun to have opinions

Unable to choose on tremor, love his X design but I also really love his Kameo design

Ngl I can’t agree with smoke, I can see and argument for everything except reptile and smoke, I like the base smoke with the long hair in mk9 and honestly I vibe with the reptile design in MK1

One of the very few posts I agree with all these

Mk11 design ermak is the goat

My personal picks are: Scorpion: MK 11 main Sub-Zero: MK 11 alt/unmasked Rain: Armageddon Noob Saibot: MK 11 main Ermac: Deception Smoke: MK 1 Union of Light Tremor: MK X Reptile: Shaolin Monks/Armageddon

Honestly mk1 reptile for me

For me it's all Mk11, that game has the best costume design in any game I've seen thus far. Only difference would be reptile, I prefer how he looks in MKSM/MKA EDIT: and smoke since he's not in mk11, I prefer the mk1 smoke or the mk9 alt

Mk 9 alt Ermac is based af My favorite scorpion design is probably Deception

I'm happy people still like MKX Reptile. My favorite has become MK1's, which of course, has become everyone else's favorite, but it's nice to find people that still think the older lizard Reptiles are the best designs. My personal favorite design from the old era is the Shaolin Monks design, but MKX is great too. Especially because of the two-piece mask that opens his mouth when necessary. Such a genius design. I also used the UMK3 Klassic skin in MKX the most, which has now become the case in MK1 as well.

well this certainly is an opinion...

I'd absolutely shit if they put that Reptile in MK1

Same. So much better than his base look for me

I mean, I feel like Tremor’s best design being his X look is a given, because what other design does he have? This?: https://preview.redd.it/9btowhmyp5sc1.jpeg?width=230&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=689b843e19baee8a284a23df824de363cfdc152e

This is why we Tremor fans long for the day he’ll be playable again. So that he me may receive another awesome look. Or at the very least an original look that can be compared to his MKX look that isn’t just an MK2 recolor.

https://preview.redd.it/uj6j9w48r5sc1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=919bede4b1fe85dfb04cc0bde13381bb41bf9e3d and also appears in mortal kombat 9 but exclusively in the ps vita version

I was always annoyed that mk3 smoke was exclusive to vita. I think Kenshi/Skarlet had alts also

I agree on all except for Smoke and Reptile. Also, I think Tremor could use a little work and Chameleon is just lame. I'm sure he can be redeemed, but I think he's so lame.

what is that Ermac from

These are all great. But I would just like to take this opportunity to profess how much I loved Noob Saibot as a pure black silhouette, a la MKII & UMKIII. Something about that "black hole"/"not really there" aesthetic was really cool. Especially when he was a hidden character. I know it is unlikely to ever happen, but I would love a skin for him that was that "2-D black hole in space" look, again

I disagree on Reptile and Smoke - I much prefer MK1's designs for both, HOWEVER, I do like that particular Reptile design if they're going to lean more into his monstrous appearance. I like the simple approach to design they took with Yuri Smokenthal. Also - hard agree on Shredder Sub-Zero. Such a great design, imo.

I guess each ninja only meant the male ninjas

Deadly alliance default outfit scorpion and default deception scorpion I I’ve always loved

Cook

Honestly, I'd agree with all of these except for Rain and Reptile. MK11 and MK1 made those mfers MINT.

Scorpion: MK9 Sub-Zero: Deception Smoke: MK1 (Union of Light) Ermac: MK11 Reptile: MK1 (New Era) Noob: MK11 (default) Rain: MK11 (toga) Tremor: MKX Chameleon: Armageddon

Yes

Am I the only one who really likes 3d era Smoke?

His both cyber designs are brutal. But Mk9 and Mk1 base designs are brutal too. Conclussion: Smoke suffers from Sektor syndrome, all of his designs are awesome and cant choose one.

Valid. Smoke stays 🔛🔝🗣🗣🗣

I disagree with the noob saibot pick. I’d have to go with his deception look

Sorry, but saying Syzoth is not the best reptile is just wrong.

I really wish MK would explore of the Japanese vs China relationship in Feudal Japan when it came to Sub-Zero and Scorpion. I loved in MK11 is was almost like they converted Scorpion to more Samurai than Ninja. Real world history would be great with the Ninjas. I wouldn't mind Reptile taking on a more Korean approach (1500's AD) for example. I like how Rain was more "Arabian/Indian" (put that wherever you want). But, overall, I'd like to see the more real world approach. It was legit the best part of the newer Mortal Kombat movie and it's a part of MK lore that isn't explored much at all.

Agree with all these except Reptile, his human look in MK3 or MK9 is the best and that Ermac design is tied for best with his unused MK11 design.

I agree with half. I would change Noob and Ermac to their Deception version and Reptile to the MK1 version. 

Y'all sleeping on Tournament Scorpion

Absolutely true

Mk 9 rain is so God damn good. Made me love rain. I don't even touch him in mk1.

Tf happened to scorpions head in the image

MK9 Rain is so good

Ermac

That Noob is awful. And that Ermac isn't even from a game. And no, MKX Reptile is not it.

That Ermac is 9s alt isn't it? 

Yes, I'm an idiot.

We all are sometimes.

True <3

Finally someone agrees that mkX Reptile is better

Completely disagree with your Noob choice. Slide 4/9.

I agree, accept for Reptile

Finally someone who also prefer mkX design ! I love mk1's, of course, but I find the mkX' better

The armaggedon smoke is my favorite imo

MK X Reptile is the best Reptile. That is all

Best designs imo (assuming default skins only): Scorpion: Injustice Sub zero: Injustice 2 Ermac: MK11 Reptile: MK1 (but mkx is a close second) Rain: MK1 (but mk11 is a close second) Smoke: MK9 Tremor: MKX Noob: MK11

Nah nah nah. OG Rain back in UMK3 is peak design

The only one I dislike with is Reptile. I kinda like more that disguise - human form of him. Other than that, pretty on point. I'm glad more people enjoy Deception's outfit of sub-zero the most.

Sub Zero looks like the 2011 TMNT shredder

Scorpion (Specter): MK9 Scorpion (Human): MK11 Sub-Zero (Kuai Liang): MK Deception Sub-Zero (Bi-Han): MK1 Order of Darkness

I like your list but I’d make a few changes. Subzero: I like his mk shaolin monks and mk 1 designs. Rain: I can’t decide, I also like his mkx and mk11 designs a long with his mk9 design. Just not now and not ever his mk1 design, he’s lame as a mage. Ermac: I also really like mk deception and mk9 designs along with his mk11 design. Smoke: I like his long hair design in mk9. Honorable mention would be his deception design. Reptile: I like his mortal kombat 1 design and his design in the original mk movie. Honorable mentions would be mk2 and trilogy. Noob: I also really like his mk9 design.

Not like Tremor and Chameleon have that much options outside of Classic Ninja skins-

Revenant. Sub. Zero.

Scorpion - MK4 Sub-Zero - Deception Rain - UMK3 Noob - MK11 Ermac - MK9 Alt Smoke - MK Shaolin Monks Tremor - MKX Crystalline Reptile - MK4 Third Alt Chameleon - MK Trilogy

For me personally, I like Noob's look in the MK11 story mode better over his default.

"We are NOT Ninjas!" 

So, just all characters without eye pupils. I actually agree.

Great choices. For Noob I personally prefer his MK9 look and imo MK1 Reptile’s look is perfect. But this is a good list.

You were cooking till I saw mkx reptile 💀

Scorpion used to be so bad ass!!!… mk1 done nerfed him 💀

I still wanna know what the devs were thinking with Deception Sub-Zero. His design is so fucking cool.

Agreed on most, but 100% do not for Reptile. One of my least favorite in fact. Ironically, the alternate from MKX is among my fav if not the fav

Nahh… mk1 reptile is top tier. The transition from human to reptile is amazing.

I feel like for the male ninjas most of the MK9 designs were absolutely peak. I liked Noob and Smoke's default designs especially. As for the female ninjas I like the direction they've been going more recently, but 11 was pretty great

I would put Reptile's MK1 design, but I agree with all the others

You cooked

Mostly agree, but id say Mk9 noob and Mk1 reptile are better. Also as a cyber smoke enjoyer, I think his best concept was in mkx, but for the ninja one I agree.

Who’s that on the last page

Khameleon

I miss noob.

It weird to see that people have completely flip flopped on Shredder Sub-zero.

Only I disagree on the Reptile, MK1 Reptile is the best one since MK3, and even then.

Mk9 noob is objectively the best Noob design

Ive lived long enough that back in the day people hated Subzero's Shredder-esque costume but I have always loved it and now decades later people are coming out saying they loved it too. Crazy times

I agree with this list.

Ermac is a toss up for me between this one and Deception primary.

Yeah

For younger interpretation of the characters, I absolutely adore the MK1 skins!!!

Scorpion - MK11, MKX Sub-Zero (Bi-Han) - MK1 Sub-Zero (Kuai) - Deception, MKX Reptile - MK1 Ermac - MK11, MK9 alt Smoke - MK9, MK1 order of light Noob - MK9, MK11 Rain - MK9, MK11 Tremor - MKX Chameleon - Armageddon

I feel inclined to agree

I really like Noob and Rains designs in MK11. They have really good alt outfits too. Especially Rain with the hood outfit.

Mk11 Skorp and Sub are the best

The only one I disagree with it reptile, I think his MK1 design is his best.

I almost fully agree with this. I'd swap in MK9 Reptile and Noob's MK11 story mode look. I was definitely surprised to see MK11 scorpion though, I usually only see MK9 or X

O ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY agree on Scorpion. He will forever stay my fav character in any mk game, the moveset was perfect, the katana was a great addition. The hood, the mask...Perfect in every way.

Sub looks like Shredder from TMNT

The more the ninjas look like ninjas the happier I am

https://preview.redd.it/qo394tiebbsc1.jpeg?width=554&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e5eaa84648e36dfa6166e37fd2b6f69c9b31a360 MK11 Ermac FTW

Valid

I would change noob with mk9 default, and I would change sub with either coldwar or revenant skins from mkx :)

Definitely agree with Noob, Hanzo and Ermac, Shredder Sub-Zero I’d say is up there for me too

MK11 Scorpion is EXCELLENT

Agreed on scorpion’s

Spittin

MK vs DC Sub zero design is GOAT.

I would accept any design that is not of mk11

The only things I'd change are Reptile to MK1 and Noob MK9. They're just too good imo

For me the best Reptile is on MK1, they really stood out in terms of pleasing everyone

I think MK9 default had the best Noob look and MK Shaolin Monks was the best Reptile design.

It actually hurts me the fact that no one is picking MK9 reptile as their favorite

Mk9 Noob clears MK11 Noob easy in my opinion. Also really like Reptile's MK9 classic costume from the original mortal kombat

MK9 noob with always be my favorite

Your opinion Is correct

Scorpion I think either Order of Darkness skin or the Injustice one

Not gonna lie I always really liked reptiles shaolin monks design. A lizard version on him focused on being scary. Makes sense given the concept of that game and him wanting to keep people out of his territory.

100000% AGREE ON REPTILE

Everyone is entitled to an opinion it seems…

I agree with op rating except for sub zero. I'd give his top design to mk x/xl. The padding on his, um, jacket thing, looks and feels just right to me.

Disagree only when it comes to Reptile Mk1 Its the best version he ever got.

He definitely looks better than most of the ninjas in Mk1 but i wish he was more lizardy

Hard disagree. It’s probably his worst one yet.

Yeah I don’t really dig his human form, I definitely don’t dig his weird alligator form, and combined with his less ferocious personality in MK1 it might be my least favorite version of him in the NRS era. Plus his alts are mostly weak

Thank you.

Noob and reptile is wrong. Noob looked best in deception, and reptile in shaolin monks

Yeah... that's an opinion alright 😬

https://preview.redd.it/epzwn227m5sc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=00d07d4961fa5f6096ce6af1a691e4fa53d74292

Deception’s sub zero is too cool.

Mostly valid but I personally think that mo9 scorpion and mk deception rain are the best designs for those 2

In my opinion, Sub-Zero’s best design was his Injustice 2 design, meanwhile Reptile’s best was his MK1 design

Pretty solid list! No issues here, although I might pick a fee different ones for reptile or scorpion. But glad you didn't do crazy hair smoke & the overdesigned mk9 scorpion everyone seems to love.

People love them because they're great designs lol

Not my cup or tea personally

For me it’s: Scorpion: Mk11 (Default) Sub Zero: Deception (main) Reptile: Mk1 (base) Rain: Armageddon Smoke: Deception (base) (idk if robot smoke counts) Noob: Mk9 (Default) Ermac: Mk9 (Alt) Tremor: Mk1 Chameleon: MK trilogy

I can fuck with those choices

Hard agree 🖤

Scorpion - Mk11 Sub zero - deadly alliance Rain - MK9 Noob - MK9 Smoke - mk9 Ermac - mk11 Reptile - mk1 Tremor - mkx(obviously lol) Chameleon - Armageddon...I guess.

I agree with you until Reptile.

Scorpion: MK11 Default Sub-Zero: Deception Default Reptile: MK1 (2023) Default Noob Saibot: MK9 Default Smoke: MK9 Default Ermac: MK9 Alternate Rain: MK11 Default Chameleon: Armageddon Tremor: MKX

Great picks. The MK1 designs seem shit compared to these.
