Okay, fine, this one isn’t that secret unless you just aren’t that interested in costumes and didn’t go digging down Killer Instinct’s Store & Collection sub menus to see what accessories are on offer for each character, but it’s so good that I don’t want you to miss it.

If you do have a little hunt in the Retro accessories sub-menu for Riptor, everybody’s favourite human/velociraptor hybrid, you’ll spot several cheerleader outfit items. Pop these on and you’ll be the prettiest seven foot reptile at the pep rally. Or, rather, the tournament stage.

Honestly, Riptor’s pulling it off. You go, girl. Dinosaur? Girl dinosaur. Anyway, my money is on the fire-breathing velociraptor in the miniskirt.
