Great! So good to see we're back in action.

I still wonder if Jade is so popular among fans to be taken back from the dead like this (althought I know she has two big reasons for everyone to like her). If Jade was taken back, so Kitana is even more likely to be back as well, isn't she? After all, she's even more important than Jade most of the times.

I wouldn't try to guess what would her variations be yet. She had a lot of special attacks in MK 9, and I can't think of how NRS would organize them in three variations while still creating more versions of some of them and even new ones. What I'm sure about is that they wouldn't leave her boomerang toss out of any of them, unless they created a new projectile attack to be used as one of her standard specials*.

The other thing I'm sure about is the second variation you said, MKRedemption19180 (God, couldn't you have thought of a shorter user name?): the staff variation. I bet she would have a variation which added combos with the metal/energy staff, just like Kotal Kahn has an specific variation to use his Macuahuilt (another difficult word...), like Scorpion has an specific one for his ninja swords, like Sub-Zero has an specific one for his ice weapons...

I can't think of a role for her in the story mode that has nothing to do with Kitana. Even if only Jade is brought back to the game (which I consider a remote possibility), I bet she would spend at least half of the campaign trying to find a way to ressurrect Kitana as well. So either this will happen or she will be just a secondary character again, like in MK 9, in the case Kitana is back with her.


 * standard specials = the ones present in every character variation, such as Scorpion's spear, Sub-Zero's ice ball and Raiden's flight lunge. Notice that every fighter must have a standard projectile special, otherwise they couldn't battle from long range on certain variations.
