Her render looked nice....and that's been pretty much the only good news regarding her. It's become increasingly and painfully clear she was only thrown into this game because she has a fanbase, and the MK team otherwise doesn't give a rat's shit about her. And they have the balls to say she's "back to her MK2 glory." Kiss my dick, fucking assholes.

Wonder Woman
So far we got a render....and that's it. No gameplay shots. No story-mode shots. Nothing. Something tells me this game is most likely not going to be a showcase of what Wonder Woman is capable of on any front. In fact, I'm willing to bet right now her gameplay is going to suck and her grand contribution to the story-mode will be little more than (a)agreeing with whatever Superman says, and (b)getting her ass kicked by one of Mortal Kombat's losers.

The Joker
So far, he looks good and looks like he'd be fun to use.

I'm glad they didn't (couldn't) use Ledger.

Jack Burton loves Raiden...this is easily one of the best looks I've seen for him.

I really love the fact they went with the original hat rather than the hat used in MKDA (MKD's hat was okay...sorta...). I like the new spin they put on the original as well. You can really see the detail in that screenshot of Raiden and Shazam freefalling. Very cool.

I'm a little indifferent on the cape. He looks good with or without it in my opinion. The sleeveless look...when I first heard about it, I thought it wouldn't look good, but when I saw it for myself, it grew on me. I like it.

I just wish they actually made him look the 7 feet he's said to be, and I wish that electricity swirled around him like in some of the other games (nothing I've seen suggested that it happens in this game). I also wish they would modify his projectile somewhat...this whole "electric fireball" B.S. is getting old...I'd much rather prefer some sort of "ribbon lightning" or something along the lines of the way the projectile looked in MK II or MKT.

To sum it up, I'm happy with him. These wishes or changes with his character don't need to happen in this game to satisfy me, because I already am. I just think some of these things would be cool to consider for future MK titles. Again, very impressed with his look for this game.

And THAT'S what Jack Burton has to say at this time.

SONYA

They truly did justice to her character, and by everything we've seen, we can bet she was given a huge amount of attention...and she deserves it!

*Promotion / Media Coverage / Overall Attention*

* I'm not surprised to be honest (she's always been the female who has been used the most to promote past Mk games), but I'm very happy and excited about the way Sonya was treated since the beginning.

* Not only was she the first MK female to be confirmed, she was the first female character to be confirmed of the entire game and the third MK character after the 2 iconic ninjas. She got just as much attention as the ninjas in interviews, videos, mkkasts, pictures, the trailers, any news, media coverage, etc. And lets not even forget E3 (only playable female of the chosen characters to promote the game for fans to play for the first time ever) and the other game conventions that featured her.

* They obviously chose her as one of the leads to promote the game and represent MK, and it didnt end after the million things we got of her (and that we are still getting!). Now, after many complains from fans that no MK female was shown in the cover of the game, she is featured as the lead in the cover for the Kollectors edition.

* You can even hear the appreciation that is well known she got in more then one of the Mkkasts, where they refer to her as the favorite during E3, as the one who got the best response from the fans when the first gameplay footage was revealed, etc. etc. etc. And also in the interviews, were she is well mentioned and covered.

* Point is, you can clearly see how much she was used to promote the game and how much attention the character itself received. Iconic tough babe!

*Outfit*

* She got an amazing new character outfit design that maintained (and recovered) classic elements from the past. This makes her feel fresh, new, like a breath of fresh air yet again. I love how they always reinvent her. The awesome and multiple strip-bands that go around her body, the amazing futuristic like globes, the watch, the detail of her tanned thong, the wicked boots, the tight pants, the new short V-neck shirt, the sexy beret, her impressive abs, the dog tags, and all the extra detail/stuff make her stand out as one of those who was really put into work.

*Hair Style*

* She has THE MOST BEAUTIFUL and SEXY HAIR STYLE EVER!!!. Period.

The beautiful hair bangs that cover half of her face are very stylish. The Goth/Emo look truly suits her personality. You get a feeling of beauty, danger, toughness, in those cold calculative eyes (you can even see this extremely well not only in her official render, but also in her in-game model AND the cover drawn by Alex Ross).

I love how this was slightly used in MK3, and how it later came to be an option in the art pieces we saw of her in MKDA and MKSM. I'm very very happy they decided to go like this with her.

I vividly remember talking with QueenSindel(TheBitch) A LOT about giving Sonya beautiful hair-bangs similar to Lara Croft when her first pic (fighting Flash) was revealed, and how it would had been beautiful for the MK team to do that for her character. We had absolutely NO idea she actually had them as we were later revealed thanks to new pics and her render, but we were (specially me I guess) thrilled and psyched with how they made them look soooooo good! Much much better then anything I wanted or expected.

To make things ever better, they brought back her AWESOME pony-tail. I adore Sonya with shorter hair like in MKDA, but the pony-tail is probably the best thing ever for her. And it works even better know that she has those sexy hair-bangs.

*Character*

* What can I say? She looks gorgeous!!! Sure the render was messed up a bit with the strong jaw, and I've even admitted I wish that was changed, but after seeing her beautiful character model in-game, her beautiful art pics and the other amazing pics such as the VS screen and the story-mode screens, one clearly sees that she is perceived as the tough dangerous beauty of the game. She has never looked better, and I LOVE the render. I've gotten used to the strong jaw there, which was never a big deal.

Besides, the team is well known for not doing well their female renders (which is ironic because most of them look great in the other art and other extra renders), and I dont even need to give any examples. LOL.

*Special Moves*

* Sonya is well known for her huge list of special moves, many of them which have become classic trademarks of MK, thats why it was a pleasure to finally see them all return and make her stand out in glory. But not only does she have all of them back, they look better then ever!

- Leg Grab (cant wait to see the pro-move!)
- Wicked and magical Ring Toss (sweet pro-move).
- Elegant cartwheel kick
- Kiss of Death (looks wider)
- Vertical Bicycle kicks
- Reversed vertical Bicycle kicks (THEY LOOK AMAZING!!!! The way she comes down to the characters from above is superb, specially in her free-fall special attack, which is one of the best so far)
- Square Wave Punch (yay!!)

So yeah, you can bet I am more then happy. You can bet Sonya has been improved yet again!

¬ At first I was like when the fuck did she started wearing goggles, but now I've grown to like her physical appearance a lot. She's gonna have capoeira-like moves and that's kickass. I like her crouched stance.

My favorite character still has the same damn costume he had since MKDA.

If they don't give Quan Chi another fucking costume I swear I'm gonna... well, I don't know what I'm gonna do, but I'll think of something!

I agree. Quan Chi has been in need of a new look for awhile now. It sucks that he only makes a cameo, which is plobably better than Smoke will get =( Darn you MKteam, you never give Smoke any lovin

Look at his look!
He is literally a badass.

He is sporting a thick beard and it looks great on him.
He has his Iconic yet modified clad attire. His face plate is better than ever, real terminator like. and his Butterfly Knives look incredible aswell!
