Skarlet was rumored to exist because of a false report of a glitch named “Scarlet.” She was reportedly supposed to have been a palette swap character based on either Kitana or Mileena. In fact, she was talked about before she even existed. Be sure to check it out.Skarlet was introduced back in 2011’s Mortal Kombat and has been a fan favorite ever since. The latest episode of the MKast should give you an idea of what she’s like. She’s definitely a fun character to play as and it seems like she has some real potential. Maybe she just doesn’t have one.Īll in all, Skarlet is worth the $4.99 (400 MS Points). I tried beating Ladder mode as Skarlet and that didn’t do anything. Every character in the game, except for Cyber Sub-Zero, has at least two costumes (even Kratos).

However, I couldn’t figure out how to unlock her second costume. NetherRealm Studios did give Skarlet a proper ending in Arcade mode. As a Sindel user I’m tempted to make Skarlet my secondary character. You can follow up that combo by doing other attacks after the dash. Here’s another easy combo that can do 33% damage: Basically you’re cancelling your normal attack into a special attack.Īlternatively, here’s the notation using MK9 style buttons thanks to this nifty website: The “~” signifies that you’re doing a 2in1. If you see something like “db2” that just means you press down, back, back punch (or triangle if you’re using default controls on the PS3). The letter “b” stands for pressing back on the directional pad or stick. If you see the letter “j” that just means it’s a jumping attack. Front punch is 1, back punch is 2, front kick is 3, back kick is 4. The notations are merely abbreviations of actions. If that doesn’t make any sense to you, don’t worry, it’s actually not as complicated as it looks. For instance, you can do the following combo for 41% damage: Most of Skarlet’s day one combos seem relatively easy to do and deal a good amount of damage. You’ll find yourself using this move quite frequently during juggles. The dash is a very useful tool because you can cancel many of your normal attacks into it, leading to new combo possibilities. The dash can be turned into a slide for a quick low attack or you can use it to do a fast Up Slash or Down Slash.

It’s difficult to properly test this on my own since MK9’s practice mode is missing some basic functionality. Her teleport is pretty fast and it seems like some characters will have a difficult time punishing the move on block. It can be done on the ground, in the air, and you can cancel it off normal attacks. Like many characters, Skarlet has a teleport attack. It seems like it could be a useful tool in some situations. Her enhanced air projectile actually throws three daggers in three different directions. Her air projectile can be thrown straight across the screen or at downward angle to hit opponents from a close range.

This will make her a little less predictable from full screen. You can even delay the second dagger from being thrown by holding the button down. Her standing projectile throws two daggers at the opponent. I immediately noticed that Skarlet has a bit of a zoning game.
