They've done Reptile dirty throughout MK history in more ways than one. Alot of these costumes are proof. I think you're list is perfect, btw. It's where I would've ranked them.
Happy to hear that, Prime. It seems like they really didn’t know which direction to stick with for him. Hopefully we get a nice take of the character in MK12!
De best going to the top 2. Nailed it! Also, I love how you used the theme remix and his encounter quote in X. "I will tear your flesh." "I now have a quarrel with you!" - Kung Lao
The low rankings are COLD-BLOODED but the parameters are a great SCALE😆. May be being punee but sincere and a great job as always. Thank you for the video 😊. Love, Wakpak fan
Ngl I miss bipedal lizard Reptile. If he's back in MK12 (which I really hope he is), I hope he at least has a tail, Alien in MKX showed a tail can be used for some cool stuff in gameplay, and I want that for him.
I thought I was the only one but, man, that shaolin monk looks is just amazing. Glad it took 1st place, and rightfully so. That menacing black face wrap is just amazing.
Not gonna agree with this list, tbh. Honestly, all the human variants would be on the bottom, given that they're just recolors and, well, human. Human < Everything else.
You nailed this! I want Reptile to be disguised and human. The MK2 green is the perfect shade for him. I want NRS to stop making him a stinky snot/slime ball lizard and restore him to an acid spitting assassin . None of that unkempt BS and more deadly mysterious ninja aspect.
The Shaolin Monks look is definitely the best. For 2 others I liked the most, it would be the UMK3 look and the main MK9 look. I hope Ermac gets his looks ranked soon.
I’m just now wondering since it’s been revealed by now but I wonder where you’d place MK 1’s (MK 12) reptile design on this list since it wasn’t known at the time of this list
This is probably a hot take but i my favourite reptile design is the full on lizard man from deadly alliance and I have no idea why I just really like it for some reason Maybe it is the uniqueness of it
Dang, it was a damn doozy getting this video released! The other videos never had this problem lol. Yikes, and I thought Reptile's looks in MK4 and Deadly Alliance were bad until seeing #12. WTF is that! That doesn't even look like a reptile, it looks like a mutated fish or that thing from "Shape of Water." That should of been at the bottom, that's ugly as hell. I didn't know Reptile in DA was meant to be a different character, what!!! I hope you continue dropping unknown trivia on here, first Quan Chi's neck pulling fatality now this. Never knew these things! Reptiles human look is always a classic that I loved, even though it's bittersweet cause it's like he's denying who he is. So I am glad they always made him look like a reptile from MK4 until now. I agree with #1. Even though I never got into the Sholin Monk games, I do think that is Reptile's best look. He looks so badass! Great video, I'll try to vote in that poll. I want Kitana the most, but wouldn't mind a Mileena and Jade ranking as well. They all had great looks, and I still think Kitana's look from MKX is her best.
''Human'' Reptile makes no sense though. When he reveals his true form, that means the human skin was just latex or something? Which also means he wears it all over his body? That's why MK4 Reptile works better for me even if it's not popular amongst the MK crowd.
Hey sometime can you do a all costumes ranked on injustice gods among us (I.e an all The skins in the non-mobile versions on injustice 1 ranked and the premier skins counts)
3:29 As a kid this was actually one of my favorite reptile designs. I think its super dope, even now tbh. Idk if its "reptile" but its certainly *a reptile* 6:06 I love this design. Youre totally right that its bland color-wise, but ive always loved it. It also kinda fits with his camouflage abilities, in that he kinda just fades into the sets naturally. They should have made his skin far greener. 6:56 This is in my opinion, the standard for reptile. This is is his most simple yet reptilian design. Instantly you know who this is. That said, it does literally nothing special. This is the baseline. 7:54 Yeah, this design is kinda the same as the last in my mind. Its just, reptile. Slightly better, but just reptile. 8:40 Cant believe his original "literally just recolor the already famous characters" design is this high on your list tbh. 9:35 literally same as the last, but better. 10:05 I see youre starting out the higher tiers with something higher tier lol. This is probably a top 3 design for me personally (not far off your ranking), I love it. 10:53 oh god 11:28 Oh god it got worse 12:13 Yes ive been paying attention, and yes, your top spot is the BEST reptile design ever. Theres plenty I disagree with in your list, but at least we can agree THIS is the best one. (To be honest, I'd put a lot of Shaolin Monk's designs in the top few levels myself)
Reptile has always been my favorite character in the MK series, and it's a shame that he wasn't featured in MK 11. His Shaolin Monks/Armageddon looks is definitely his best look, with the combination of lizard and humanoid. I love his alternate look from MK9 and his MK 2 appearance as well. Unpopular opinion, but I do kinda dig the Lizard form in Deadly Alliance. It's not my favorite, but I rank his MK 4 lower than his DA look.
Only disagree with Deadly Alliance primary & MK9 primary/alternate placements, I quite like those designs. I prefer Reptile when he’s more reptilian than human like, it gives him more character & identity. I did grow up within the era between 3D & Reboot trilogy though. I think Shaolin Monks is my favorite. Deadly Alliance primary & MK9 costumes are in there for contenders too. MKX primary & klassic is also up there. My top 5 ordered would probably be look like this… 5. MKX Primary 4. MK9 Alternate 3. MK9 Primary 2. MK:DA Primary 1. MK:SM
Why is everybody hating on MK4 Reptile costume so much?! :/ I think it's one of his best, he is super original, the colors are great, I wish this skin would come back...
MKX Bone Armor variant is my favorite. Gives him more of a warrior theme. If only he had the Queen Sytholin Blade from the MK11 krypt, it would complete it.
The Deadly Alliance base design is my favorite. I've always liked more monstrous designs in fighting games, especially Reptilian / Dragonic. So my favorite MK character becoming more visually monstrous was a plus to me. Though I understand people's disagreements, but to me, someone named Reptile, from a race a reptilians, becoming more reptilian seems fine. Though I think MK1 found a good way to balance this. (Note: I am aware that this video was released before MK1 was announced)
I'm one of the few people who actually like reptiles costume in mortal Kombat deadly alliance. Mainly because of the fact that well. He's called reptile for a reason. He's not supposed to be human. Of course, he's a lizard creature. That's just a disguise.
My favorite reptile costumes are MK2, Shaolin Monks, and Armageddon. But I know I don't compare the films but reptile in the 1995 film are fantastic because he has the mk2 outfit with the reptilian mask.
I debated on including it for a couple of reasons. First, it’s a Scorpion skin. Second, it’s also a classic remake of a legacy skin, so I decided not to include it over those points. I do wish I included it as an honorable mention.
It almost sounds blasphemous but I'll always have a soft spot for MKDA Reptile cause it was my first introduction to the character starting with Deception and going back
I'm sad cause the commercials for mk4 when reptile first showed up live action got me hyped. I thought it was an interesting evolution to the character it just didn't translate to the game. I think mk4 outfit reworked would be great I hope mk1 brings him back with that style just worked correctly.
Good video coverage. Mk ultimate was my favorite. Not a fan of reptilian Reptile. Scorpion doesn't turn into a scorpion as a playable character. Reptile could have just been the name of the character. Been playing since mk came to the arcades. Just a terrible idea in my opinion. I wish they never went that route.

MK1 :"Allow me to introduce myself"
8:55 I don't even remember saying this but thanks for the shout out!
Great video as well!
Anytime Oddity! I actually rewatched your ranking when it was rendering. Glad we can agree at many of our placements. Keep up the great content too!
Can't wait for a ranking of Rain's costume next. I honestly think his design from Armageddon was the best.
Oh yeah! Rain definitely got a huge glow-up since Trilogy!
His alt from Armageddon is my personal favorite.
Same here, it made me a fan
Mk9 solos
rain was stupidly hot in armageddon
And number 1 - Reptiles new design in MK one
I knew that shaolin monks reptile was gonna be in number one since you mentioned it in your worse to best reptile fatalities video
Yeah, I feel that may have been a spoiler now that I think about it. Though I specifically meant the alternate color.
my brother likes his shaolin monks skin. can't go wrong with a ninja lizard
If only you saw the mortal kombat one costume before making this list 😂
You know you have to do this for every character now right? Ill watch every single one of them
I know everyone is going to judge me for saying this, but I am a big fan of Reptiles “Deadly Alliance” design.
Nothing wrong with that at all!
I loved the tail and the tail physics of that skin
I prefer the ninja looks, but I didn’t mind that design, and he was still my main in that game.
One thing I like about it too is the overall saturation and color of it compared to like MKX
I LOVED Reptile's design in Deadly Alliance. In all honesty, it was my personal favorite, I've always been a fan of more beastial characters.
Man his SM design is so good, they need to bring it back or reimagine it in the next game and hopefully they don't butcher it
I hope they do too! He looked so cool and creepy at the same time!
It’s about time dude! 🤠
They've done Reptile dirty throughout MK history in more ways than one. Alot of these costumes are proof. I think you're list is perfect, btw. It's where I would've ranked them.
Happy to hear that, Prime. It seems like they really didn’t know which direction to stick with for him. Hopefully we get a nice take of the character in MK12!
@@the_NNPW let's hope so. Keep up the great work, Nick! 👍🏼
The 95 Reptile Costume is pretty clean ngl
And the same thing with his Shalion Monks Costume
De best going to the top 2. Nailed it!
Also, I love how you used the theme remix and his encounter quote in X.
"I will tear your flesh."
"I now have a quarrel with you!" - Kung Lao
My boy Nick moving on up with the sponsorship ✊🏾
Oversimplified style
Thank you so much! Fingers crossed for more great opportunities like these!
This might be my favorite episode of your ranking series so far since Reptile used to be my favorite character because green is my favorite color.
I’m really happy to hear that! Means so much to me!
The low rankings are COLD-BLOODED but the parameters are a great SCALE😆. May be being punee but sincere and a great job as always. Thank you for the video 😊.
Love,
Wakpak fan
Omg you got a big sponsorship!!
Thank you! I was happy to have an opportunity with NordVPN!
Ngl I miss bipedal lizard Reptile. If he's back in MK12 (which I really hope he is), I hope he at least has a tail, Alien in MKX showed a tail can be used for some cool stuff in gameplay, and I want that for him.
I like the bones on his MKX design
I always thought it was cool!
The breakdown was perfect. I feel the exact same way. Yeah I totally agree with mk4. They got halfway through then said oh here some purple pants😂😂
I thought I was the only one but, man, that shaolin monk looks is just amazing. Glad it took 1st place, and rightfully so. That menacing black face wrap is just amazing.
In my opinion, he should knock out all the ninja characters out first, then the others.
Sounds like a good plan!
Love all the ranking videos! Keep up the great work!
Love reptile, him and Baraka have always been my fave MK characters.
Please keep ranking character costumes, they’ve been great videos! Can’t wait for Rain and Ermac 🤞🏽
5:06 my family lol 😂
I’m happy someone noticed that. I was laughing too hard when I was editing that.
More and more MK costume rankings plz
We still need the death trap rankings.
Stay tuned…
It's crazy, in the sub zero and scorpion videos you loved the classic costumes and this one looks exactly the same @8:50
Not gonna agree with this list, tbh. Honestly, all the human variants would be on the bottom, given that they're just recolors and, well, human. Human < Everything else.
Nothing wrong with that at all. I know many who like the lizard and many who like the human form. This was a fun and diverse list to put together!
@@the_NNPW But honestly, number 1's a good pick. It's kinda goofy, but kinda nasty, too, and still kinda badass.
NICK I AM HERE TOO MY FRIEND
I could sense frustrated Nick coming out
and now his mk1 design is the new #1 imo
Let's hope some of these get added to MK1
I love your vids
Thank you so much, Keegan! I greatly appreciate the support!
@@the_NNPW your voice is also amazing I love it
You nailed this! I want Reptile to be disguised and human. The MK2 green is the perfect shade for him. I want NRS to stop making him a stinky snot/slime ball lizard and restore him to an acid spitting assassin . None of that unkempt BS and more deadly mysterious ninja aspect.
I think mk1 is my favorite, and he has an actual character
Need the rest of the palette swap ninjas
Would love to see all of Kano's costumes ranked next! His full cyborg skin from MK11 is by far my favorite 🤖🔪
Oh yeah. He’d be fun to take a look at!
Ideas:
Ermac Costumes Ranked!
Rain Costumes Ranked!
Baraka Costumes Ranked!
Kano Costumes Ranked!
AWESOME! My favorite design for my favorite character was number 1
Lol your gonna have to update this as reptile is now back in MK1
The Shaolin Monks look is definitely the best. For 2 others I liked the most, it would be the UMK3 look and the main MK9 look.
I hope Ermac gets his looks ranked soon.
Glad we can agree there! I’d love to cover Ermac too as he’s gotten quite a good mix too!
This didn’t feel like 15 mins😂
It really didn’t. Hopefully that’s not a bad thing.
@@the_NNPW I’m all for it, I was so invested that time became irrelevant. I’m excited to see who’s next
eating an apple while watching this. i’m kidnapped.
My all time favorite character
I’m just now wondering since it’s been revealed by now but I wonder where you’d place MK 1’s (MK 12) reptile design on this list since it wasn’t known at the time of this list
I'll never understand the hatred towards MK4 Reptile. He looks really cool and unique.
The TV commercial for the game made him really cool too.
This is probably a hot take but i my favourite reptile design is the full on lizard man from deadly alliance and I have no idea why I just really like it for some reason Maybe it is the uniqueness of it
Juss keep him as a human ninja that can turn into a reptile keep it og. And like similar too scorpion how he can turn his head to skull

New Top design just dropped.
I Love all of his Designs and Costumes🦎🦖
Would love to know where his newest design sits on this list!
Easily in the top 5!
I love the shaolin monks and Deadly alliance variants
3:33 here's a hot take I don't really mind Reptiles design in deadly alliance I think its pretty cool
will you be doing Liu Kang next!?
I’ll be putting out a poll tomorrow of characters people asked to be featured. Stay tuned for that and you’ll see!
Reptile my favorite jobber
I know you said no Klassic skins, but the MK9 Klassic ninja costumes look really good!
Hey sometime can you do a all costumes ranked on injustice gods among us (I.e an all The skins in the non-mobile versions on injustice 1 ranked and the premier skins counts)
You call your least favorite “a sight for sore eyes”, but that means one is GLAD to see something…
my personal top 5 reptile's designs / costumes (MK) of all time:
#5: MK9's default costume
#4: MK4's alt costume
#3: MK1 / 12's default costume
#2: UMK3's default costume
#1: MK shaolin monks default costume
Reptile's alternate MK4 is my favorite. Gives him the ninja outfit with his reptilian look
Hot take: iguana Reptile from Deadly Alliance was actually a really cool look. I prefer his Armageddon look though.
That is a hot take because it's EASILY the worst he's ever looked and should've been at the bottom of this list. Yikes.
Reptile's design in MK DA is actually my favorite
3:29 As a kid this was actually one of my favorite reptile designs. I think its super dope, even now tbh. Idk if its "reptile" but its certainly *a reptile*

9:35 literally same as the last, but better.
10:05 I see youre starting out the higher tiers with something higher tier lol. This is probably a top 3 design for me personally (not far off your ranking), I love it.
10:53 oh god
11:28 Oh god it got worse
12:13 Yes ive been paying attention, and yes, your top spot is the BEST reptile design ever. Theres plenty I disagree with in your list, but at least we can agree THIS is the best one.
(To be honest, I'd put a lot of Shaolin Monk's designs in the top few levels myself)
Small note, he does have one more kameo in mk11, a scorpion skin, it’s the mk11 classic skin but green, with reptile skin
personally the mkx reptile skin is my number one i dont know what it is but something about it is just great.
My favorite Reptile is his Mk4 costume because it looks so badass!!!
Reptile has always been my favorite character in the MK series, and it's a shame that he wasn't featured in MK 11.

3. MK9 Primary
2. MK:DA Primary
1. MK:SM
Best Reptile skin imo is his outfit from the first MK movie. Never liked Reptile as an actual Reptile. The human look is so much better
Not gonna lie, that costume is iconic. If they did something like that for MK1, I’d be on board.
Man I was at gr comicon Friday wish I met ya there bro
Oh no kidding? That would’ve been cool to meet and say hi!
I can actually get actually get behind reptile looking like the lizard from Amazing spider man, still huge fan of the OG ninja design tho
I loved the mk4 one it’s different and awesome Armageddon design is cool too
Why is everybody hating on MK4 Reptile costume so much?! :/ I think it's one of his best, he is super original, the colors are great, I wish this skin would come back...
I would love to see a Reptile that can go from a ninja to a bipedal lizard mid gameplay
Like a dragon install type move
MKX Bone Armor variant is my favorite. Gives him more of a warrior theme. If only he had the Queen Sytholin Blade from the MK11 krypt, it would complete it.
How about the Scorpion league style of reptile😢
I think human reptile from the originals look the coolest. Subzero scorpion and reptile all being ninjas was so good in my opinion
The Deadly Alliance base design is my favorite. I've always liked more monstrous designs in fighting games, especially Reptilian / Dragonic. So my favorite MK character becoming more visually monstrous was a plus to me.

Is somebody gonna tell Sonic HaXD?
I hope so!
I like the classic
Umm maybe this is an unpopular opinion but my favorite, besides the original, is Reptile from the 90s movie Mortal Kombat! Love the dark green.
you forget the reptile skin from scorpion in mk11
I debated on including it for a couple of reasons. First, it’s a Scorpion skin. Second, it’s also a classic remake of a legacy skin, so I decided not to include it over those points. I do wish I included it as an honorable mention.
I love Deadly alliance Reptile. Why everyone hates it, is a mystery to me.
It almost sounds blasphemous but I'll always have a soft spot for MKDA Reptile cause it was my first introduction to the character starting with Deception and going back
