General/Other - Tanya Tanya Pre-Release General Discussion Thread

Honestly i dont care... I got her thats all that matters. Besides i like her look! #WEGOTTANYA

I like how this is coming from a white guy where everyone in games look just like you. So you get to pick that color the person you like where blacks just have to go white people.

just like me i guess

She was never black to begin with, she was slightly darker like egyptian or latina but not black. So i dont know where people are coming from

Latinas and egypitans that are dark are black, Their are white latinas and egyptians and black latinas and egyptians.

I regret making any comment about Tanya's race tbh (although I can definitely see where the argument that she's black is coming from a bit more now...)

Anyway, I'm placing a bet right now that one of her variations will involve air and/or low fireballs. I haven't a clue what her other two could involve, though it would be hella funny if one of them involved mocking Jade's death - now that would lead to some interesting dialogue with Kitana...

Doesn't she have a teleport that can make her disappear for a while? Like what Mileena has in her ethereal variation?
I can see her having some Zatanna moves too.

You're reaching so hard lol. Just stop.

says you

i Hope NRS see this and make her a sexy black woman again. if not i can't play Tayna anymore. I miss my black baby from MKD.

 

[KillerInjustice]

MK surprisingly enough doesn't have a sorceress type female character i think Tanya could fit that role perfectly.

 

[cfw]

Sorcery would be cool. I can actually see that. I'm curious to hear her dialogue with Kitana and if Lani Minella really IS voicing her.

 

[KillerInjustice]

I kind just imagine her acting all high and mighty and can see her intro pose being her looking down on you.

 

[Espio]

This argument is funny because Tanya is darker than I am and I'm black, but there's no way she's black lol makes sense. I hope she has a variation that utilizes her boomerang.

 

[Zev]

She's dark skinned, lets just leave it at that

no point in bringing race and ethnicity into a fiction fighting game, where details are not given about it.

so if indian is darker than you they are black? sit down please

 

[KillerInjustice]

We could just call her Edenien. I mean her skin color is dark but we can't give her a human nationality because she is not human

 

[Espio]

so if indian is darker than you they are black? sit down please

The argument is dumb saying there's no possible way she is, drop the attitude lol.

 

[wyruzzah]

I think MKX will be moddable like MK9 and Injustice, so reskin for Tanya's skin where she will be more close to Deception will not be problem, so i dont really care now for her skin tone

 

[KillerInjustice]

I wonder what Natalia Kills would have to say about Tanya's new look.
Big ups to whoever gets that joke.

Latinas and egypitans that are dark are black, Their are white latinas and egyptians and black latinas and egyptians.

Actually, Egyptians and Latinas that are dark aren't black. They're Egyptian and Latina.
She's Edenian, let's just leave it at that.

I wonder if the KI community had to go through this concerning Orchid's race?

Damn too slow.

 

[Jackal904]

She has one of the worst cases of NRS face I've seen. C'mon NRS what is your deal with female faces? This has been a running joke since MK9.

 

[Saint Op Omen]

The argument is dumb saying there's no possible way she is, drop the attitude lol.

I do agree that if human she could be a bunch of things... She is about the same color as my wife... Who is black and Brazilian...
My thing is she is not human.... You can say she looks like somthing, fine... But she is not.. If alien's from a distant Galaxy stopped by to wipe us out that happened to be dark skinned... Nobody would say well at least they are black... So yeah she is in no possible way black nor ever was..
And as for anybody identifying with her she is a traitorous evil scum... So really not a role model for anyone here..

 

[Awkward Sloth]

So you guys. I'm thinking that one of Tanya's variations will be focusing on her Fire magic powers, so dark sorceress (or light sorceress , just covering my ass)
I'd imagine that one would be zoning or set up based.

The other two variations I'm not sure of. But I imagine they would name them along the lines of betrayer or deceiver. Cause of her past history.

I would guess one of her universal specials would be her canon drill.
