Alternate Costumes and Variation differences

LinKueiLegend

The true Grandmaster
Just a question that's been on my mind for a while and I have no idea if it's been answered but will the alternate outfits for the characters all share the same variation cosmetic differences? Or will they have something that may fit better to that costume? For example will Scorpion's Hanzo Hasashi outfit have that skull on his hip for his Inferno variation I believe? Will Sub Zero's mask less outfit have the frozen mask in unbreakable?

Savagely beating his super-ego with his id...
Besides quick shots we haven't seen many alts in action but it does seem like it is universal as to what variations do to skins... Many are add/subtract a mask or weapons or something glows...
While it may not be the same thing all the time I think it will be the same area with the same effect...

The way I understand it regardless of what costume you select the visual indicators for each variation will remain on the the character. That's why they were made to be easy placed on any costume.

Plus on block.
Would say Jacqui, but i'm more than likely going to hop into Story Mode before anything else.

She'll probably pop up as playable in there before Jax does though, so I guess it would still be Jacqui.

no, it is very unlikely, if they were to make sure the 'visual difference' were carried across to other costumes it would in some way limit the costumes design,,,, shinnok samurai and his defult skin look completly different, so i can image different visual indicators will be used and different logos above the character variation name aswell.

That's what I was thinking. I have been trying to find a good shot of any alternate but can't seem to find one
