I'm starting to think MK tried to really attract female players to this new series. Theres never been so many females in a MK game before. I don't want to sound like I'm against having woman in a video game, but it the game does lose a touch of its hmmmm, "machoness" when there are so many non-intimidating females in the game. Meleena and Sindel are exceptions because they are unique, and I also give an exception to Ashra, not saying that she has that "macho-kick your***" allure, but because she is unique in her own way too. But this Tanya, Kira, Mei Li crap, we could have done without those charaters. My votes for replacements would be Reiko, Kano, Reptile, Cyrex, Sector, or my favorite, Styker with the semi automatic.
Also, some other points:
1) What happened to Sindel's floating capability? You give it to Ermac but not her?
2) You could have thought of a better primary costume for Darrius. Come on his primary is wack!
3) Can you be a little more creative? Why the heck does Ermac have all of Kenshi's telekenetic throws and punch moves? Be original with Ermac and give him his own moves
4) I really didnt like Bo rai cho from deadly alliance, and I still dont like him

I have to go with you on some points...like what you said about sindel and mileena...and even ashrah, she has a magnificant storyline...but I too think that we could have easily done without li mei, tanya and kira...I really don't like them...I like the oldies, like jade, kitana and mileena...and even sonya although im not a big fan of her because of her lame storyline..

lol ermac (UMK3) was the one that started with telekenetic moves dummy

Yea...Kenshi has Ermac's telekinetic slam and throw =P. I agree though, no need for kira, tanya (although I don't mind her at all), and li mei. They definitely need to be more evil than they are. Tanya, if she were more of a villain rather than just a leecher, that would help her cause. 
I agree with most points, thought I am surprised you did not bring up the obssessive ninja amount...then again, you would be mad to when the only ninja you liked in the series is the only one that doesn't make the game (Rain...Scorpion is ok...Reptile was always my favorite but he aint a ninja anymore...)
People tend to think since I only care about Cyrax being in the game, that I am against Sektor...actually, Sektor is in my top 5 characters...Cyrax, Baraka, Kabal, Sektor, and Mileena...
I just think the logic isn't there...at least until we know EVERY character in the game...Kung Lao, Nitara, Sonya, Cyrax, and especially Mavado logically should be in this game for story purposes...if they are just skipping a game to add other characters, thats fine...but these 5 should come back, bad story or not...and Cyrax needs his net cause im tired of people saying he sucks...he was my best character without the net on MKDA...
I see this character list as the "C" list...simply because it has almost every character I hate on it...lacks logic in the story...is mostly based on favoritism...and just flat out disinterests me...but like I said...its ok...if they return the others on the next game....they have to remember, going 2-3 years playing a Mortal Kombat game without your favorite character is a long time
Stryker, however...is a character I don't hate...but yet I don't care about him...Noob Smoke looks interesting, and I admit, they did better with those two then I thought...I thought they were just adding them to make fans happy...but they did ok...I stil have a problem with Ermac and Kenshi in the same game
For the women...I think Ashra is kind of dumb...Kira looks nice, just need better moves...I miss Kano...
And for the record, I don't believe anything to do with the whole 'Motaro' thing...I saw several sites that show how to unlock him, but come on now...its a rumor...beating the game on hard without using a continue? Somebody made this up...I wouldn't do that shit if my life depended on it...
the Super Unlockables might not even be there...you might be already looking at them...Motaro most likely isn't one...so that brings us back to square one...

You know, I played MK4 a helluva lot back in the day. And, I don't believe I like a quarter of the characters... So, who cares?
I agree with so many of your points dude, but not all. On thing I agree the most is with the Sindel/Ermac Fly thing.
She was originally the first fighter to fly, I really hate the fact they gave Ermac this move and not Sindel.
As for Females, I love them all, but I have to agree with you, apart from Sindel and Mileena, the others dont look as tough or strong.
Kira is by far my least favorite female in this game, she was looking so original (I really loved her), but hey, if Jarek was a rip off of Kano because he had all his moves, if Tanya was a Kitana clone ONLY because she took her place in Mk4, and if Smoke early versions were Scorpion clones, Kira is definitely one of them.
I even think Kitana could had replaced Kira (maybe, just maybe), but since we already have Mileena, Tanya and Jade, we dont really need her. Those 3 are infinite times better then kitana in this game.
I wouldnt had added a new character that is a mix of 2 others. Sonya would had been better in her spot. Sonya still looks like the most powerful female, one of the few you can take seriously
But overall, all females look amazing in this game. Perfect.

i really don't think that the female characters in this game wear less and less clothes to attract girls. lol.
it is annoing that so many useless characters are in. out of all the female characters i think jade is the best by far. ashrah is not much.
also, yeah it is annoing that kenshi and ermac have like the same moves.
ermac is my favorite tho, for the first time. next come barak, nightwolf, subzero and jade. maybe hotaru 2, after i unlock him

lawlz @ misogyny
Queve...Ermac has taken Sindel's float move?!?!!?...that ruins Sindel for me...I always saw her as the floating person...Ermac is too much like Kenshi and they need to make up their minds and cut one of them off
I personally am only happy seeing the return of Kabal, Mileena, Jade, and Baraka...im still trying to figure out why Bo Rai Cho made this game over so many other better characters...Bo Rai Cho is fine for some people, but he really doesn't fit MK...and until he gets taken off a game, the series is no longer 'dark'....i don't find his stupid moves comical at all...
This is the perfect thread for me though, cause I really wanted to vent about this crap, and I know their are a lot of fans of ninjas on this board, and I don't feel like hearing their bullshit
Slica - main reason why I don't come on here much anymore...children on here, can't say shit without someone bitching at you...Cyrax is better then Smoke...there I said it...
