Big Games of 2011: Skarlet is the Wrong Woman to Mess With in Mortal Kombat
Back in the days of klassic Mortal Kombat, several of the characters created for the game were nothing more than a simple palette swap. The model used for Katana/Milena/Jade in Mortal Kombat II was the same actress, just with different color outfits in each fighter. However, in some arcade cabinets an unknown fourth character from that same model appeared as an error, wearing a red outfit. While she had no official name, many fans of the series dubbed her Skarlet. But now in the new Mortal Kombat, she no longer is in that category as she makes her official debut in the series, and she can be quite the force to reckon with.
