The Official MKX Live Stream - January 29th

I'm disappointed they didn't show Kitana, HOWEVER, they took their time to go through every Variation of both Ermac and Kung Lao! If they had to squeeze in Kitana and Reptile as well, it would be too rushed and we wouldn't have gotten the same in-depth view of either of them as we did this time. So I'm glad they are waiting until next stream to show those two, so they will get the same in-depth treatment.
 
I almost forgot about it but one of them joked about Sheeva being announced.
Poor Sheeva fans are always being jerked around. XD

D'vorah has heels, but she is a good 5 inches shorter then Subs. I like that the implemented some form of height in it, not everyones 7 foot tall. Of course Sub-zero and a couple others still have a lower fighting stance that puts them close to the same level.

You don't know that Mileena is the only MK9 character left for MKX, for sure, though.
There are also other popular MK9 characters like Baraka, Smoke, Kabal, Cyrax, Sektor, Shang Tsung, Jax, Noob Saibot, Jade and Nightwolf, so I can easily see where it can get worrisome for those of us that want to see new MKX characters or MK4 thru MKD debut characters, but instead we see so many MK9 characters in MKX, and we're like "Ugh, who's next from MK9?"

Yea but I don't think they'd bring them all back. Maybe baraka and whoever else didn't die. But everyone who mostly did die? No way.

You can't say that for sure, though.
Some people thought that the dead wouldn't come back in MKX (myself included), due to Steve Beran saying that they wanted to clean the slate for MKX and Ed Boon saying "a ton of new characters" for MKX, and Kitana and Kung Lao are both back.
Smoke and Kabal also have a decent size following.

If that ever happens then everything Boon said about new characters will be bs, and all the things you hope wouldn't happen will. I will also be very disappointed if it's mostly old characters. That's why I just have to have faith that for now they're getting the old out of the way. If they make trailers for the character I hope they're bothinf like Ermac's and Reptile's... It's like they didn't even try to do any impressive moves.

Agreed, and that's why I'm worried.
I think it'll end up being mostly old characters.
 
So glad I have invested in other characters and played with guys that I actually liked instead of ONLY picking who I thought gave me the best chance to win.instead I pick my character based on story,play style and character model...

This way I don't get all bent out of shape and start wishing and praying to Raiden that they give me 12 or 13 new guys since I wasn't a fan of any of the other characters .

They gave me about 24 guys in mk9 to choose from and i couldn't find any of them that I loved?Sounds like a personal problem..and again just because I found 3 characters I can win with doesn't make me a fan..that just makes me good with 3 characters ,SO THERE FOR im left here hoping that they give me 13 new guys so this time I can find one I actually love.

I don't believe Sheeva will ever make it back into another MK title. Joking about it is kind of harsh for the few fans out there. I'll have to move on to another character.

Most likely Goro or Cassie Cage.
 
Alright. So I really like how each body seems to be roughly different in shape. I mean, over time, we might realize that Sub Zero and Kano share the same body model with different skins over top and different bits of armor and clothing over top of that. But I digress. I really am digging how they're treating the females a bit more in this iteration. One most particularly is Cassie Cage. I'm so glad she actually looks like something you'd expect in a fighting tournament. Kitana... ehh... still a bit skimpy, but at this point, I'm thinking that's due to the culture of Outworld. But it's far better than the stripperathon we were given in MK9. I also like for the most part, the proportions of the characters. No one seems to have exaggerated features. The women look like healthy, lean athletes or gymnasts which is what we SHOULD expect in fighters. If Jaquie is in the game, I really do hope she looks very strong and very brollic. I haven't read the comics past the first issue, so I don't know anything of her. But if she's in, I would expect her to be much more muscular and probably have much bigger shoulders and arms than most of the other women in the game. Ermac and Reptile both have different weight looks and it's nice to see that Kano looks significantly beefier and thicker than either of those two. You can really tell that NRS has decided to use several different bodies in this round.

i totally agree with you but sadly think we may be in the minority. i am totally surprise by the vitriol towards small breast and non stripper heels by some board members . lol I think every female released so far look spectacular. actually i think all the character look great except reptile, and i think i just need to get use to his design.
but i hope NRS does release revealing outfits for those who DO crave kind of that stuff.

Here's my take on that. I don't think sex appeal is really all that important. Well... I do think it gets in the way of me being able to get immersed into games when I can see that they take male characters more seriously and female characters as sexy window dressing for the gruff male hero. Personally, I feel like I'm too mature for cheap grabs at sex appeal; it'll just annoy someone like me. However, I'd be willing to have a truce with those that like the sexy aesthetics of a 15 year old. Fine. Let's have alternate costumes that are sexy. Fine. Use them in a pack of alternates instead of 2 costumes, we have maybe 3 or 4. But with a caveat of course. The sexy costumes for the male characters have to be designed with the female and homosexual gaze in mind. I'm not sure if that would mean that Quan Chi would be rolling out in black speedos with a slave harness on, but it could happen I guess. And I know a lot of these people who are complaining about the reduction of the sexual aesthetic will scream about shirtless men=sexy for women. Well... that's true, but it's not the same kind of sexy as a woman dressed in clothing specifically designed for sex such as what the women of MK9 was wearing. A shirtless man is also a symbol of power, so it's not the same kind of objectification that we see of the females, though it really IS objectification of the male figure, usually FOR other men to cater not to sexual fantasy, but power fantasy. That's all I'm going to say on it. If a developer wants to use sex appeal, then be cool and use sex appeal for all sexualities that might be interested in your game, not just the heteronormative stuff. But then again, I like my videogames to show the characters or treat them at least with a bit of humanity. Yes, that includes Mortal Kombat. Yes, they're all in a fight to the death, but you aint gotta go to a death tournament dressed like you're there to fvck instead of fight.
 
Yes, i understand your points. I believe that wouldn't go over well with most because men aren't use to being seen as an object. I have no problem with sex if done right and with purpose. I come from the UMVC3 scene. In that game i play Morrigan (a succubus), she should be dressed sexy and scantily clad not Sonya (a hard nosed, no nonsense military officer). To me Kitana's redesign is sexier than any other outfit she's had. It looks stylish, regal and most important like something she could actually fight in. Reading some people post i think they want to play with paper dolls not mortal kombat. But to each their own.
 
I don't know why we're talking about this ..or why this thread is still open but everyone agrees that making sexier alternates would appease everyone ...sex sells...it doesn't have to make sense but it will sell...we don't all agree with sex selling but it does ..that's it.

If you dont like the discussion - ignore it and move on. That's your prerogative.
Sex does sell no one disagrees but we are not the ones crying that NRS has moved on from stripper Kitana and trucker hooker Sonya.
