God, every time a new MK comes out I see these, "Doesn't have an MK feel" threads about characters, and I can't help but roll my eyes.
Wheter you like them, or hate them doesn't matter, everyone will always have some characters they like and hate. I like Nitara, lots of people hate her. I hate Darrius, lots of people like him. I like Sheeva, lots of people hate her. I hate Kenshi, lots of people like him. (Though I will admit, on that last one, he's grown on me more in Deception)
Frankly, yes, all these characters -do- have an MK feel, because they're IN AN MK GAME. They are the MK feel. You can debate wheter or not another game like Tekken or Street Fighter feels or doesn't feel like MK, but you can't debate whether or not a game feels like what it is. That's like looking up a word with multiple definitions, reading it, and saying, "Meaning number 2 doesn't sound enough like meaning number 1. I think it would go better with this word."
Each MK is what it is. End of story. And when the next game comes out, everyone will say, "This new boss doesn't feel right. We need Onaga or Shao Kahn back" thus accepting Onaga's "feel."
Final strokes may be much different then preliminary strokes, but they are all still a part of the same painting. When it's finished, (which some say a painting never truely is) the painting's mood will be achieved, and only then can it be fairly compaired to another painting.
And PS. Other then big and intimidating, I don't see how the hell Onaga looks like True Ogre. Last i checked Onaga didn't have a hairy beastly head and a snake for a hand, on top of which I could have swore Onaga was a good 4 heads taller then your average player, wheras Ogre, though bigger and bulkier, is pretty much the same height.
