MK 2011 info: Jade


An assassin for Shao Kahn, JADE has earned a reputation as an agile and stealthy warrior. Her family was Edenian nobility and served the emperor once he conquered their realm, giving Jade to him as tribute when she was a child. After years of rigorous training in the art of kombat, Shao Kahn awarded her the position of Bodyguard to Princess Kitana. Over the centuries she and Kitana have become close friends, which makes Jade's secret orders from Shao Kahn painful to accept: Should Kitana's loyalty falter, Jade must kill her friend.


Signature Moves

Razor-Rang: Jade throws a razorang at her opponent. In the 2D games, there were three variations of this move: one that curved up (Razor-Rang Up), one that curved down (Razor-Rang Down), and one that returned if it missed the opponent.
* The enhanced version is called Reboomerang in which the razor-rang returns to strike the opponent a second time. The enhanced upward throw is called Reboomerang Up, and the enhanced lower level throw is called Reboomerang Down.

Blazing Nitro Kick: Jade illuminates herself with a green force and kicks her opponent.
* The enhanced version is called Eclipse Kick. This makes the kick go full screen and increases damage.

Dodging Shadows: Jade puts a forcefield around herself which causes projectiles to go through her. This move is taken in reference to her automatic immunity to projectiles in MKII. In MK 2011 this is called Shadow Flash.
* The enhanced version is called Shadow Glow and illuminates Jade in a purple glow instead of a green glow as well as give her armor, which makes her immune to every kind of attack. But still takes the damage like normal.

Staff Overhead: Jade jumps up and smashes the opponent with her staff.
* The enhanced version is called Staff Smash. Jade jumps and smashes the opponent quicker than Staff Overhead.

Staff Grab: Jade grabs the opponent by the chest with her staff and slams them behind her.
* The enhanced version is called Staff Slam in which Jade slams the opponent and additional two times.

X-Ray Move - Staff Buster: Jade rushes behind her opponent, grabs her staff and slams it in the groin. She then pulls it out and smashes them in the back with it, damaging their spine and nearby bones.


Fatalities

Half Mast: Jade kicks the opponent into the air and plants her staff into the ground, after the opponent is impaled by the staff, she rips off his/her head and sticks it at the top of the staff.

Head-A-Rang: Jade
throws a Razor-rang at the opponent, cutting off their head. The head stays on the opponent's body as if it wasn't cut. Jade then kicks the body away, letting the head fall off. As she kneels down to catch the opponent's head with one hand, she catches the returning Razor-rang with the other.

Babality: Giggling, Jade throws a razor-rang, but it comes back and hits her on the head, making her cry.
