This makes her combinations a threat even at mid range, and from the two BP slashes, she can easily continue the combo with her five-hit Flesh and Blood string. By pressing F+BP, B+BP, or BK during the dash, Skarlet can transition into a high launcher, an overhead bounce attack, or a low hit, respectively. In terms of combo ability, Skarlet is a high-level execution fighter that requires a lot of canceling into her command dash, called Red Dash, to extend her chains. Be careful not to spam it too heavily, though, as it’s not safe on block, and its rear approach may cause Skarlet to switch sides with her opponent, confusing the player for a crucial second or two. Complementing Dagger Toss is her Blood Drop, a teleport move that can quickly end a projectile war. Additionally, she can shoot them either straight or at a downward angle when she’s in the air, allowing her to cover a lot of space easily. Skarlet can also dash cancel out of a held Dagger Toss, giving her more options to mess with your mind. Her Dagger Toss flings two quick knives that are fast enough to beat most other projectiles to the punch, and she can stagger the second toss to mess up the opponent’s timing. Surprisingly, Skarlet also has a great ranged game. It works great as a risk/reward proposition, the kind rushdown characters are known for. The attack deals high damage, but costs 7% of her health to fire. Skarlet, being made entirely of blood, has a unique attack called Blood Ball, which launches a projectile or her own bodily fluid in an arc of her choosing. Her strength lies in her speed, and with her ability to mix high and low attacks together with overheads, she’s an excellent rushdown character who excels at keeping her opponents guessing. Skarlet isn’t dressed like a ninja for nothing. Now, almost 20 years after the rumor began, Skarlet is a fully developed and realized part of the MK universe. One great thing about Midway, and by extension, Netherrealm studios, is that they give fans what they want, and often take character rumors and develop them into actual content down the line. Over time, players began to refer to this elusive - and nonexistent - hidden character as Scarlet, or Skarlet, if you prefer the MK way of spelling things. One such rumor started when players insisted that they had fought a red-clad version of Kitana in Mortal Kombat II.
When Midway created Reptile, a palette swap of Scorpion and Sub Zero for Mortal Kombat (1992), they opened the door for a flood of rumors surrounding other possible hidden characters. With the threat of Quan Chi’s possible betrayal looming heavy on the emperor’s brow, he releases his bloody enforcer to keep an eye on the sorcerer.
Created by Shao Kahn to be his top enforcer, Skarlet is only released from her shackles during desperate situations. Skarlet is a warrior composed of the blood of thousands of dead warriors.
