Sindel (female Shao Kahn), Sonya (female Jax), Nitara (female Havik)

what lmao

Sindel is nothing like Shao Kahn at all in design or gameplay. She's just his wife, or so it seems. And the fact that she wasn't, and was Kitana's lost mother who was actually good and had been brainwashed, was a great twist circa MK3.

Sonya predates Jax. How on earth is Sonya a female Jax? If anything Jax is a male Sonya.

Nitara and Havik don't have anything in common at all, but that randomness aside she also predates him.

Do women retroactively become derivative to you somehow?

As much as I hate Sonya and Sindel (both are probably in my Top 5 of least fav characters) I still agree with you on this.

Frost is a female Sub and Kira is a female Kano, that's pretty much it.

How could Tanya be the worst character in KP1? She's the best damn character in that pack.

I'm not talking about tiers or anything, just originality and fun.

Her weapons are random and her fire powers are overused (Scorpion, Goro, Liu Kang).

She's not the worst, Jason is, she comes second though. (My opinion)

Tremor>Predator>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Tanya>Jason
 
Seriously...the only female copycats I'm seeing in fighting games (and there could be more than I'm aware at the moment, mind you) are Frost (Sub-Zero with boobs and a vagina), Sheeva (Goro with boobs and a vagina), and Sakura Kasugano (Ryu with boobs and a vagina).

And of those 3, the only one whose character's developer made ANY effort whatsoever to give even the slightest degree of uniqueness to the female clone in question is the case of Sakura (who was dressed in a schoolgirl outfit).

I'm aware that steroid use in women does so much damage to a female body that an East German Olympic athlete who was born female literally had to have a sex change operation due to the consequences steroid use has on her body over time (and East Germany lives in infamy in modern Olympic history for having a systematic doping program in place from the 1960s until the fall of the Iron Curtain).

it just so happens I never like the gameplay of the girls in MK. Is there a problem with that?

Yeah, you can't even explain your position regarding the male characters' gameplay. Because surely, if you have an intelligent, completely non-sexist reason to prefer the men's gameplay over the women's, you'd be able to elaborate on your opinion.

Also, I have nothing against male characters. There's a lot of compelling ones in fiction (though that is naturally due to men being favored over women). But you see, female characters can be just as compelling, with the bonus of being sexy, to boot. And to me, an interesting and sexy female character will always be better than the most fleshed out male characters, since I'm not physically attracted to men.

Like seriously... what?

Ok ok. Does reason like "I just don't like playing with female characters" is enough?

To be honest no one needs to justify their preferences. If someone prefers males over females, or females over males so be it. In this thread there is not a single sexist comment.

"There should be even less females. I don't like the current roster."
"There are too many females"
"There is no need for extra females"

These are opinions. Not sexist statements, as some of you are starting to imply.

"Females shouldn't be in fighting games. Everyone knows their place is in the kitchen"
"If you like playing with females you're pussy"
"Female characters need to be weak, because they are females and they would never defeat any stronger male characters"
"Female characters should be in the background wearing bikinis, instead of fighting."

That you might consider sexist.

But not wanting to play for specific gender and not liking it, to be consider sexist or that you would need to JUSTIFY that? Wow. No.

It would be like calling me sexist for preferring females over males in Tera Online, just because I find males look like females and I believe it would be easier for me to explain myself to someone about why I play with female character, rather than male character who looks like female.
 
Sareena is winning in the polls here, and I suspect that there are many other people who would want to see her as DLC, as well, but NRS will probably do the easiest / laziest thing, which is to give Sindel 3 variations on top of what she already has.

As much as I want to see Sareena in MKX as DLC, I don't think it'll be happening.
I'd be pleasantly surprised if it did happen, though.

I think so too. Ed often trolls, but I think the image released is real. The more I look at it, the more I see real characters instead of placeholders. If you blow it up, you get this...

Baraka, Michael Myers, Fujin and Bo Rai Cho. Those are really the only ones that match.

Surprising? Disappointing? Yes and no.

What really disappoints me is there isn't any female in there. But when I think about it, what options do they really have? Frost not happening. Li Mei very unlikely. Sindel easiest option. Sareena most sense and demand but most time consuming. Sindel was in MK9 and I guess they have plans with her for MK11 otherwise we'd kill her in story mode. Sareena in MKX would be perfect, but do they really have time to flesh her out? And do we know they don't have plans with her for MK11 as well? Anyone else? Don't see it happening. Ashrah, Nitara, Skarlet, Jade, Kira, Sheeva. Not in MKX. So yeah, the only 2 females NRS can include are Sindel and Sareena. And I guess they have a good reason why neither will be in - as much as it sucks.

From the 4 characters, 3 are gameplay-wise from scratch and 1 is already somewhat playable. They have less work this way. But personally, I'm not really sure what they can come up with. I don't think this pack will be as good. It just seems a bit... unoriginal and flat. Sure, I'm glad Baraka and Fujin will be in the game and I'm curious what they'll do with Bo and Myers... but I dunno. Despite everything making sense... I can't help but feel a bit upset. I'm more interested in the skins and character intros than the characters themselves and their gameplay to be honest.
 
I'm not going by any of the silhouettes, though.
When MKX first came out there was an Obama and Rorschach silhouette, so I'm taking those silhouettes with the smallest grain of salt.

I'm just going by what will be the easiest / laziest for NRS to do.
Baraka, Sindel and Rain are all easier / lazier characters for NRS because they already have a working "no-variation" / basic AI model made, and it would just be tweaking that and adding variation specific moves.
I don't think Rain will be in because Boon previously said that there would be no repeat MK9 DLC in MKX, but the other 2 are quite possible, imo.
 
I remember that. But the difference this time is that this is an official announcement and there is really no reason why they would troll us. Yes, we've been trolled a lot. But my feeling is this time this is what we're getting. And I think these characters, along with what I wrote, makes sense.

If I'll be wrong, I'll apologize. But I'm calling it now. We're getting Baraka, Bo Rai Cho, Fujin and Michael Myers starting early February - concluding with the Komplete Edition in May and an announcement of Injustice 2 at E3 in June.

I. Never. Like. The. Gameplay. Of. Female. Characters. In. MK. Games. Why? Because they don't fit my play style. Also, I said MK games, NOT all games.
