I think we'll be seeing alot of classic characters in this one. I wouldn't be surprised if MK9 is a reboot. The story became irrelevant with Shaolin Monks and Armageddon.
For me, MKs strongest point has always been its memorable characters, and Sonya is certainly one of them. Glad shes back and hoping her partner Jax is as well.
Well said! And thanks so much for giving us the first thread.
However, I must admit I'm not a big fan of the "reboot" idea. I guess its something that would be fun to see in the future (as long as they don't change too much, specially things that are best left untouched), but not anytime soon.
There is still so much to see, develop and close about the current storyline that it would really be a slap on the face to leave it on nothing (like having almost no bios in MKA). The reboot thing would be nice to see after at least 2 or 3 real nex-gen Mk games.
Anyway, I surely hope this is real news and that Mrs. Blade is back to kick some serious butt. Her performance and promotion in MKvsDC was outstanding, almost perfect. It was the best Sonya they've done and I certainly hope they bring back what made her so memorable and fantastic. She basically stole all the scenes she was in, just like the Joker and a few other memorable characters.

Hopefully we see her stop representing a group so much, and start fighting for herself. Maybe we can learn about how she feels to have been enslaved by The Dragon King, and how she feels to have Earth taken over by a robot organisation. I may be one of the few, but I am also hoping for a Sonya vs. Jax feud, as I think it gives these two favourites of Ed Boon's something to do in MK9, and MAJOR personal development.
I like the idea of having Sonya and Jax have a feud. This is actually a high possibility (if Jax plays any role in MK9) considering his MKA ending and the hints we got on Sonya's bio and Konquest.
I also like the idea of distancing her from the SF and her OIA for a change. Make her not be part of this group for some dramatic reason. I love her there considering its probably the most important organization that protects the world from outside threats and all of the things they've done against the BD, RD, and TK, but, it is time for a new twist.
If we want her to go into a fresh new path, maybe its best to let her step down the role of leader inside the OIA and give her a role outside of it. A different path that doesn't necessarily change the fact that she is part of the SF and a main leader in that group.
Maybe the OIA or SF should suffer some form of corruption that would force Sonya to rebel against her own allies inside that group and head into a totally new direction.
I'd love to see something like that.
PS: Please please keep her amazingly sexy MKvsDC hair style and hot youthful look. She was fantastic.

i am still trying to figure out the news about Brenda Barrie?? she is playing a character(s) but it has not been confirmed which ones. someone needs to get on this lol.
oh and whats up with the mods not acknowledging my news posts? i posted the Brenda Barrie news 2 days before the Sonya news was posted and i did not get a fancy news thread...
~sniffs & pouts~ lol whatever...i get ignored offline as much as i do on so its not surprising.
This is really interesting. I've got to check out that thread man. I heard a lot of people thought it was Sonya, but, since this appears to be a legit confirmation, maybe we can hope for Mileena or Sindel!
