Lack of female fighters/combo damage in MK is pretty sexist to me.

I am a male, I would rather look at sexy females than... not sexy females when playing as or against them. Half of the male characters are all shirtless anyways so I dont know what the problem is
 
I can barely get over 30% midscreen with Johnny. Don't talk to me about low combo damage xD
 
I just want to say... jade does not have good mix ups. You can just block low, and stop everything lol. her only overhead is DB2, and grab. Or an aerial but DB2 and aerial are easy to see coming(Can stand block on reaction), and you can mash out of Grab.

Sure she can throw out low attacks mid combo and has some safe block strings but when it comes to mix ups, w/o a fast overhead people can just block low lol.

But however this is made up by the sole fact her range and ability to ease through projectiles, cover a large distance quickly/safely. She has a GREAT counter move.

I mean poor DCP has to use 3 bars to do a Xray counter combo for like what 40%ish? Jade can use enhanced shadow glow and nail 30%ish for only 1 bar.

Both are used for the same reasons, only difference is Jade takes more damage for that "1" hit she takes to counter.

jade is more about using and abusing range to hit people out of their moves. (Up+3) (DB2) (B2) her 2 hitters have nice range as well.
As well as "feinting" openings with return boomerangs/ using safe block strings.
and using that enhanced shadow glow to counter moves.

i for one love the female cast of MK. but did you notice that there are very few? i think this is really sexist and the damage they do is weak compared to the males. Im stoked about skarlet but man theres only 7 girls i believe in the whole roster. this is bs. and the damage except for kitana is a joke especially for sindel and sheeva. sindel's scream is so slow like sonya's kiss, its pretty much useless. sonyas xray is a joke also. their damage pales in comparison to ermacs 42% combo WITHOUT xray. just seems like netherrealm thinks like a 12 year old. Sheeva you'd think would be the strongest but nope. same low damage. Its a little offensive to me considering DOA4 has many female fighters that are equal to the men. sophitia (SC)is a beast and pai/Aoi from vf5 can waste anyone. but in MK the girls are portrayed as weak and helpless, with lui kang kicking kitana's butt without even trying. shes 10,000 years old!! anyone else notice that? dont get me started on Sindel in story being super powerful but in fighting mode, she does 12 hits with 30% percent damage. yeah no. God i hope the new dlc fighter is Tanya Kira or Li Mei. im sure there will be alot of immature comments but to serious mature gamers id love to hear from you on your views. Reminds me of MK4 there was 2 girls out of the whole roster. wow

lol.. I was agreeing with you. Jack Thompson is that lawyer that tried to screw over gaming companies for having "Sexist/excessive violence" and said they were affecting kids/adults to doing bad things. which feels relatively close to how the OP is viewing this.
 
I don't know anything about gameplay shit but, Kitana is a beast. How do I know this? Anyone with a PS3 should fight Goddess. She's the best Kitana you'll ever fight. She makes me look like shit.

Plus, anyone who thinks NRS is sexiest, SMH.

Well......

Sexism, a term coined in the mid-20th century, is the belief or attitude that one sex is inherently superior to, more competent than, or more valuable than the other. It can also include this type of discrimination in regards to gender. Sexism primarily involves hatred of, or prejudice towards, either sex as a whole (see misogyny and misandry), or the application of stereotypes of masculinity in relation to men, or of femininity in relation to women.It is also called male and female chauvinism

The complaints you are bringing up have nothing to do with sexism. Having less females than males in a game does not = sexism.

As for the combos.....I can do more damage doing Sindel's combos than I can with quite a few male characters. Perhaps you just haven't practiced enough?

Sorry if any of that sounded rude, it is not my intention, I just don't get why people cry sexism over, well, nothing, really.
