This ‘Mortal Kombat’ Kitana vs. Scorpion Cosplay is a Real K.O.

Test your might! We’re returning to the dark arcades of our youth with these Scorpion and Kitana cosplays from Mortal Kombat.

Mortal Kombat is the martial arts video game series that makes us all nostalgic for our Friday-nights-at-the-mall years. We’ve been back a few times since ‘finishing him’ at the arcades between console game releases and even a few trips to the theater to watch the kombat on the bit screen. And of course, cosplayers can’t get enough of these characters.

Okay, now that you have the right jams for this article, let’s get right to it.

Okkido Cosplay

Okkido Cosplay knows how to rock some serious moves. Check out this Kitana Intro video from 2019 on her Facebook Page (Sorry folks, FB doesn’t like to play well with others, so I cannot embed it. BUT it’s ABSOLUTELY worth taking a look). Her work is stunning in every detail, from the fabric choices and textures to the intricately carved accessory pieces.
