HAHAHA... I liked snya too... but not as much in DA... because she did not have her leg grab!!! WHAT IS THAT??@?@? Sonya is her leg grab.. that's what defines her... Also... I did not like her look... I hope in the next MK they give her a look similar to her MK4 one... that was her prime! hrehehe

I wish Kitana was in mkd with her mk2 outfit.

If Sonya comes bak for the next game it will be kool.But it better be sometihng old shcool like her Mk4 look now that one was wicked.

I was also disapointed when I found out Sonya wasn't in MK:D.
Mabye she's a super-unlockable. If not, she will ,without a doubt, return in MK7...

Yeah, they totally screwed Sonya up in MK: DA. I mean, she looked like a model in MK4...but in MK5 she looks like a man with implants! They need to thin her build out, make her hair a little longer, and give her a more womanly stance. I mean, I'm all for Sonya being butch (I love my lesbian friends!!!) but I mean, come on...the change was DRASTIC!
She definitely needs her leg grab back.

Where did i say Sonya?

my bad...

No your not alone Sonya is probably my favorite character also. My favorite girls are Sonya,Kira,Jade,Kitana,Sindel,Nitara,Mileena,Ashrah,and Li mei. My favorite guy fighters are Scorpion,Kobra,Shang Tsung,Raiden,Cage,Kabal,Sub Zero,Noob,and Quan chi.
Anyways no your not alone because SONYA BLADE is the best mortal Kombat fighter there is!!!!!!!!
Hoxever I do agree she looked way better in mk4- she looks kind of transvestitish in mk5(lol jk) not that bad but ya they should at least change her face *again* and shell be perfect!
Kira and Kobra are the best in Mkd.

LOL, she's in there (Kobra).

Well I hope every one is enjoying all the new characters who took Sonya's place in this game( Sarcasm). I cant stand that Sonya had to give her place up for characters like Kobra, darrius, Darriou, Kira, Bo Ra Choo e.t.c.
Putting her in deadly alliance with out her leg grab was a big mistake, but at least she was there, now we have nothing.
Well if she's back in the next game I hope they make her Mk:DA look more sexier and they can give her an alternate costume with her classic look.
Moves that she is expected to retain are Leg grab, Cartwheel kick, Bicycle kick, Energy rings, Square wave punch.
Fighting styles, she ruled with Kenpo and taekwando so I hope nightwolf and Kira will be kind enough to return her fighting styles.
I think her weapon should be a Baton, so Kobra can keep her Kali sticks.
Mortal kombat feels a bit empty without Sonya.

Mortal Kombat feels VERY empty (to me at least) without Sonya in it. I'm definitely not buying Deception, and I don't really feel like renting it again.
Sonya needs to come back and whoop that little scrawny bitch Kira's ass. And then before she snaps her neck with her leg grab, she'll say "You've always been qute a disappointment...daughter!" *SNAP!* hehehe

I feel the same way about this game and the absence of Kitana. Sonya's not my favourite, but I'd rather have her in than some of the lame "classic" characters who were included.

My favorite characters have always been, in order:
Johnny Cage, Liu Kang, Sonya, then whoever I like in that particualr game (such as MK3 Sub-Zero, when I disliked him in most other games)
I really got shafted, because in DA I mastered Cage, Sonya, and Kitana, KNOWING that at least ONE of them would be in MK6, since they are main characters. True, I got Liu back, but I'm not interested enough to master him. Heck, I still haven't bought the game--I only borrowed it from a friend for awhile. I'm really disapointed in this crappy roster. Cage is a Mix of Kang and Darrius. Sonya is Nightwolf (the worst character in MK history--A bad, Village People member MK3 Cage replacement) and Kora, etc.
Long rant coming. You'd probably better only read if you agree the roster is horrible:
What a bunch of bull. A lot of people may say the roster is great--but they won't master every character, so they should have only got a few characters they wanted, just like we should have. That's why DA was so great--it had a few characters for every taste. This reject fest is only likeable by hardcore fans, due to the sheer amount of MK3 characters, which most people didn't like to begin with. For the most part, though, we're in the minority on the net. Do you honestly think people who casualy play waste their time on these forums? No. And that's why most on here will disagree with us--they are the hardcore fans I just mentioned. Lovers of rejects. (by rejects, I mean, so no one gets really ticked, characters that the general publice rejected.) Most hardcore fans like the characters that I don't. That's cool, but the MK team needs to remember that a select few fanboys getting what they want isn't always a good thing as far as the general population is concerned. The game's selling well, but will it cause the next game's sales to fall? We'll have to see.

To me, it felt like this game was made for the masses. Not the fans.

This game was made for the fans. It was made for the Ermac fans, the jade fans, the Tanya fans, etc. Those characters have fans who wanted to see their favorites brought back just like you want to see Sonya. Since this is probably the last time we'll ever see some of these characters, this game is obviously aimed to please the fan base that will probably never be aimed at again. Everyone knows the fan favorites like Cage and Sonya will be back in the next game, so just accept the fact that Midway has constantly, over and over, catered to people like you. Let people like me, a Tanya fan, have this one game, since you'll get all the rest.

I like Sonya in MKDA.. she had some good combos.

DylanReece, as you can see, you are definitely not alone!
I completely agree, Mk feels empty without the original female of the game. Sonya has been around since day one in every aspect, always evolving in power (top tier), looks, etc.
She, along side the originals, is one of the main characters of the game. No doubt, one of the most powerful too.
Although it does feel sad not to see her (yet), I disagree with some of the things you said. I’m probably the biggest Sonya fan around, but just because she is NOT in deception, it doesn’t mean the game sucks.
Actually, I like to think her spot was honorably taken by awesome characters we all missed and loved, such as Sindel, Mileena, Nightwolf, Kabal, Jade, Tanya, Ermac, etc. Those characters disserved the chance to return!
Fans disserved to see their other favorites back in outstanding 3D action. MKDA was my favorite game, but MKD is just the best! I dislike some things that I liked in MKDA better, but there is no doubt MKD has won the title of best Mk game in my heart.
Like someone said, Sonya is one of those few characters who will always return, she is a strong element in the game (Mk1, Mk2 (story and background), Mk3, MkU, MKT, MK4, MkG, MKDA, MKD (story, conquest, and maybe hidden)). Im sad she is not back, but if she really isn’t there, I will just be super happy with all the fun extra stuff, some new characters, and some awesome classics.
Remember ED BOONS WORDS:
“I DEFINITELY see Sonya Blade in a FUTURE MORTAL KOMBAT!!!!”
He practically confirms her return! She will return. Sonya Blade is, the BEST Mk character ever!
OH! BTW, I would like to add, her Mk4 look was amazing! I also hope to see it back, the cap and the sexy outfit were amazing! I loved her blond ponytail!
BUT her MKDA look is just THE BEST!!!!
I love the sarcastic, sadistic tough-bitch face she has. She looked hot in that game! Her short hair was awesome! And the outfits she used where the best she has been ever given in the games.
She proved to be a real fighter in that game. Dangerously powerful, and incredibly strong! Her MKDA look is my favorite, and I hope they consider it for Mk7.

I say good riddance...the character of Sonya has been old and tired since MK3. At least with Sub-Zero and Scorpion they're giving them brand new story arcs and making them important to the game, but Sonya is still just hanging around, fighting the Black Dragon on and on and on. When I found out she died in DA I did a backflip. In fact when I found out that half the DA cast was dead I was overwhelmed...I figured they were finally making steps of progress...granted I was sorry to see Kung Lao go but it was great to see that good doesn't always win, and sometimes you just gotta let those characters go.
Unfortunately, as shown in certain character's endings, im sure they aren't dead or slaves to the DK anymore, and are just gonna slog it back into MK7. Sonya and Jax with their 'Lets fight the Black and Red Dragon and explore other worlds' and Johnny Cage, who could've been a potentially serious character had they done him right, will once again be 'Johnny Cage made yet more movies: Harmful Fist I and II, Life Threatening Kick of Danger I, II, and III....'
Sonya, to me, is just a tired, dead character. Its obvious at this point she'll be back, but i'm actually starting to feel that maybe it IS better to leave some of the old characters behind and move on. Sonya's abscence in the game was one of the better points for me...makes room for the one-game wonders to shine.

First of all, remember not all endings/stories happen.
As far as we know, only Kitana was truly killed and resurrected. They mention the rest as “defeated” or “slaves”.
Second, I respect your opinion, so I wont argue with it, but Sonya, and Johnny are not the only characters who need or needed story improvement.
Look at Scorpion, he kept dying in an endless boring quest to avenge his death and the one of his family .since game 1. BUT they fixed that in deception! Which is very good.
Besides, Sonya’s story has NOT evolved around the Black Dragon or Kano in all games:
Mk1: She fought for her team, the world, and to finish her revenge with Kano.
Mk2: Imprisoned, saved by Jax .Kano is just mentioned to escape.
Mk3: She fought for the world, and crossed paths with kano.
Mk4: NO kano, actually, her story had so much potential but the Mk team messed it up. She fought for the first time along side a Black Dragon member (jarek), at the end, they fought and she won.
MKDA: NO kano and NO Black Dragon. He is alive but only mentioned in HIS ending. Sonyas story and ending only involve a little tinny bit of Mavado. She fought for the world against the DA. And had potential for a frost-Sonya story, because of their rivalry.
You see?
I once again ask you to focus on Scorpion. If they managed to change is boring crappy repetitive story, they can do the same with ANY character of the game.

Is it just ME or Kira looks like Chucky.
I am sorry to any Kira Fans, but just look at her face when she does her vicotory pose!. For some reason she reminds me of Chucky. LOL!

I totally agree with you queve. Completely.
Its not like I don't like Sonya...its just that to me she's getting a bit too boring. As you and I both pointed out, they took Scorpion's boring, repetetive story and managed to fix it up well, making him very important. As you pointed out also, not all endings do happen, which is true. However events in the endings can happen, while the entire ending itself does not (if that makes any sense).
I know you're not bashing, no need to worry! I think you're right...if they give Sonya a much more interesting story to the overall MKuniverse, she could really kick some ass. If they were to bring her back, she would need a much stronger story, and a sexier outfit(think of her MK4 console exclusive alt).

To me aleast Sonya has always has and may always will be one of the most underrated characters of MK, I mean what is not to like about a woman who(in the right ways) can tear your opponent apart in minutes, endless amount of combos, powerful and innovative moves that are meant to catch your opponent off guard, Sonya is the all around girl, a total package sorta speak, can't say that about some of the other MK Characters, I upset that she maynot made the MKD lineup, but Mileena made me happy, but if you at Sonya's movie and look at her on the cover of her trading card, she looks more detail than MKDA.

Sonya is definitely one of my favourite characters, and I was extremely disappointed to see she got left out. In fact, they left out pretty much all the characters I liked best in MKDA; Sonya, Cage, Kung Lao, Nitara, Frost and Kano... :/

That isn't what I meant. I meant that the game is just so mainstream now. They care more about what will sell well than what the fans want. The focused more on the look, the graphics, the gore, etc...than the stories and the characters. Am I the only one who was extremely let down by the ending movies? They were pathetic...it's like they came up with them at the last second before shipping the game out -- while they were HIGH. LOL
And "KONQUEST" was just horrible. I mean, it's almost unbearable. If that's what Shaolin Monks is going to be like, I'm gonna laugh so hard...
If I could have at least played Sonya in the game, I would have considered renting it again...but this game was a major letdown for me. It's all purty, sure, but it lacks in substance and creativity. Like 95% of games out there...
