Imo. red and longer hair is who Skarlet IS. And that's why i am so happy about this change. That's Skarlet! And thank god NRS listened.
Wasn't she in just one single game? How can that be who she is? She hasn't really established who she is yet.

Uh, no. One single game is more than enough to establish who a character is, otherwise the character failed.

Skarlet was nothing in MK9. Just a bikini babe whose only visual characteristic was the red hair. Let's be honest.

You think a character like her is defined by their hairstyle?

...Maybe because "red hair" was literally the only visual trait Skarlet had before?
Well that and using blood in her combat. That's more than enough for me.
Red-haired women are really rare in games.

I dunno, I generally don't care what colour or length a character's hair are. I wouldn't consider them a defining characteristic.

It depends on the character really.
And if we are talking about Skarlet, for me they are defining characteristics.

guys, even Kano has several haircuts. . . and he doesn't have any hair. Chill.
You’re kinda missing the point here bud.

Her different hair/hat is on a different model with a different costume.

I like this costume, not this hair. I can’t pick and choose because it isn’t an option in the game.

Always funny reading random 16 year olds calling everyone "virgins" for discussing cosmetics...:rolleyes: I bet those people are the virgins more than anyone lol.

Anywho...She looked too much like a wanna be Catwoman with the pixie cut and boarderline boyish.

New cut looks so much better honestly.

To quote Chucky "A true Klassic, NEVER goes out of style"

Add me on PS4 if you want to play some games
I honestly preferred the short hair looking at this new hairstyle, I wish they had given her back her MK9 ponytail instead of the oddly textured bob, I liked the ponytail a lot.

Stop throwing shades at each other this is literally cringe.


Skarlet had more than Red Hair going for her before and even her old playstyle had a lot of identity. Now throwing insults at each other because of hair that's just childish


But anyway in general what i see in this thread are bunch of cry, i for one i'm just overjoyed with everything she gets, pixie cut, red hair, her ponytail classic hair style whatever, specially if i'm able to choose, besides who said they replaced all? An NRS developer said earlier that the reveal build didn't had all to be seen from any character when someone asked if there is a red hair option, they literally confirmed it was in the game, this current build isn't that different,we knew Skarlet was going to get a red hair the second they have introduced her Kold War costume, its just a different build where they have other options and not all the ones seen previously.


Sometimes before starting insulting each other over choices maybe you want to take the chill pill

idk if they're doing the multiple timelines thing with every character but the hair might be a slight past/present for her perhaps? That or just a pre-release change to something nrs liked more for the character.

Yo, it's not an insult when it's stating a FACT. If you feel offended by it perhaps you should ask yourself why.

I mean, if I say DOA6 is a titty game. it's a fact. You can love the game and say "yeah, it's a titty game and I love it", and I respect you because there's nothing wrong with it. Or, you can feel guilty and insecure about it and go like "nooo it's totally not a titty game it's all about the fighting!".

Same goes for Skarlet. She was a generic bikini babe and I hated her for that design. Now, she actually looks like a character I want to play. But if you liked bikini babe Skarlet: that's fine by me, as long as you're honest about it and aren't pretending she was a complex, well-designed character.

I saw some people asking NRS staff about the pixie cut on Twitter, but I don't think anyone's answered. Guess we're just going to have to wait and see.

It's going to be a real bummer if we can't use it with this outfit anymore.

I love both versions. Never had an issue with the pixie cut and the new bob is also great imo. I just want to play her already.

It has nothing to do with Bikini babe the default costume was terrible and we were mostly forced to play with it, but her vita costume where she is far less revealing and looked far more appealing that the default one.

Skarlet personality came from her being a true Ninja representation in everything else, she had a Ninja dash which was called Red Dash but the true name for it its, Cheetah Sprint, Kunaijutsu or ability to fire Kunais on various forms to control space in different forms, Kenjutsu with her twin fumma Kodachi swords and even Taijutsu or Ninja hand to hand fighting style without counting her blood magic which was very few but still present.

So MK9 Skarlet to me was a much better representation of what a Kunoichi should be considering i was never really into female ninjas before her appearance the other ones really never sold that well into what a Kunoichi (Female Ninja) should be, her default costume was terrible indeed but everything else like her playstyle and equipment was spot on and she was pretty fun to play at higher level, complex but fun.

So i like this Skarlet despite the fact that she got retconed, i like that she is not really revealing i never did, and was willing to pay for the vita costume if it came as DLC but her past traits from MK9 wasn't really forgotten, even on the reveal day the official MK site states that Skarlet its an Imperial Bodyguard(basically Ninjas who protect the Khanum like Mileena, Jade and Kitana, Tanya) and Blood Mage, so her arsenal just got bigger.


So i still think we will be able to select the pixie haircut and whatever else they throw in the customization options, as we know its supposed to have a lot more than just what we're seeing right now.
There are even rumors that her move list is unfinished and there are things we haven't seen yet, so i will just wait, but i can't wait to get my hands on her again.
