Redditor CaTigeReptile uploaded her take on the blood-based fighter on April 20, bearing a shockingly similar resemblance to the character. Although the costume is essentially spot-on, CaTige claimed that she \u201cjust kinda winged\u201d the outfit, building the bustier over a push-up bra coupled with armor made from leather-covered eva foam and black vinyl. https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/MortalKombat\/comments\/bff782\/i_finished_my_skarlet_cosplay\/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app\u201cI had to, because she stole my face \u2013 so I stole her clothes,\u201d CaTige said of the cosplay. In fact, CaTige took note of her resemblance to Skarlet upon the character\u2019s reveal three months prior, uploading a side-by-side selfie with the fighter that had some commenters wondering how \u201csurreal\u201d it must have been to see herself on-screen. https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/MortalKombat\/comments\/ahbzah\/so_im_in_mortal_kombat_now\/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app\u201cSeeing myself perform all those fatalities more than makes up for it,\u201d she said of their resemblance. Despair over MK 11\u2019s design changes Despite the praise CaTige\u2019s cosplay has garnered online, a few fans of the Mortal Kombat franchise are less than pleased with Skarlet\u2019s new appearance, with some arguing that the game is \u201ccovering up\u201d their previously bare-skinned female fighters. https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/MortalKombat\/comments\/arhklm\/the_more_i_look_at_it_the_more_i_like_that_jade\/\u201cIt\u2019s being downgraded, why can\u2019t you see that?\u201d one critic wrote. \u201cMortal Kombat always had their females looking like attractive.
