sindel's hair was cool, but not great. it would be awesome to have it back tho. the more signature moves - the better.
and about her hair being 100% original and no character attacking with it;s hair - well don't tell me that in MK:A after she hits raiden and the hair is shifting back, that that doesn't look like the hydra. ( or medusa, whatever her name is)
still a pretty cool move, but like it;s been said b4: irealistic

Where else has attacking hair been seen, that makes Sindel's case unoriginal ? I have been thinking that it would be funny if Sindel's hair had a life of its own and could even make a rabid cat noise. As a Hara Kiri, Sindel could hand it a little suitcase and her hair runs away with it leaving Sindel scalped and dead. BTW, I don't need people escorting me to the nut house; I know that idea will sound horribly ridiculous to 99% of the people who read it. Other cases of unoriginality include Kobra and Ashrah, with their stolen special moves and weapons, but I don't mind them that much. Dairou IMO looks very generic and he seems very ridiculous. Oh well... MK:D is still going to be the best fighter ever, with or without attacking hair.

I agree with your post.

Sindels hair is, by no means unoriginal....at all.

I'm going to be unpopular and say that I think the hair was lame. Both the throw and the Fatality.

However, that was because of the graphics at the time more than the actual idea. It could be cool to see it return, but her flying must take precedence.

I like sindels hair. Maybe she can have her hair turn into snakes or something like medusa. That hair hara kiri or hari kiri however you spell it sounds cool. She needs her hair and she needs to be able to fly or at least glide.

It might seem funny to you but I think it would be kind of cool to see Sindel use her hair as a whip. She would have moves that lash at the opponent's face and she could also trip the opponents by swinging her hair across the ground. I had always pictured Sindel's hair moving like it had it's own life force, it reminded me of Medusa in a way.

I could see Sindel wrapping her hair around the opponent's body, tilting her back, and slamming him/her on the ground head first behind her, that's an idea for a possible throw. Imagine a combo with Sindel as she stands with her arms crossed and her hair just whips the living piss out of her opponent with a frenzy of lashes, pokes, and slaps. The opponent would start making grunts and screams of pain and sindel would just stand there and laugh and have a grin on her face.

Her 1 attack would be a poke to the face and a poke to the torso, these would represent her punch attacks, and the other would be on the lower sections of the body but that would be her kick attacks.

I'm just using my imagination, I think her hair weapon stance would be better than her pole arm spear that she has now, Sindel is a very unique character due to her hair and I hope that her hair would be incorporated into the fights more than just special moves, that is why she has her screaming ablility.

I completely agree with you bro.

Sindel using her hair as a weapon was a very popular idea back then when I made the thread about it.

It would not only be unique and original, it could also look a little bit funny, but it would be deadly!!!

That hair is just amazing.
