After seeing Mileena in all her updated good looks, I was wondering what type of appearance do you people think the new female fighters should be designed with.

Should they be more modest(Not-Like-Mileena), or be wearing hardly anything(Very-Much-Like-Mileena)? The reason I'm asking is that sex-appeal seems to be a very common theme among mk fighters since MKII(which we seem to be revisiting a lot with this sequel). Personally, I think both could work good. I don't want to sound like a pig, but I definitely prefer a costume such as Mileena's, since hers was done in good taste in an artful manner. Li Mei's Bikini or Sonya's thong was nice, but let's not make it so blatant this time around.

Anyway, that's just my opinion. What do you guys think?

For Frost if she is in I would like her to be as sexy as possible if the the sexiest one in the game. I would like for her to hair down. Also have a sort of Ninja revealing outfit.

I like the way mileena looks in this game. looks way better than kitana in MK5. Kitana was very "big" as in buff. Mileena in this game looks pretty damn hot. She also looks slim. I love her revealing outfit too.

I think each female should have her own clothing style...some should wear Sean John, some should wear Baby Phat, Etenies, etc...you know, we should have the prep, skater, punk, goth, and schoolgirl..>_>

Modest


.
i think that some should be modest but as a secondary it would be the opposite

ex: lei mei has pretty modest for her normal

then her alt is a very sexy outfit

That idea is pretty much tried and true, and I think it's a working approach. Although wouldn't it seem better if the costumes were appropriate for the character's personality? Like Li Mei's bikini costume made perfect sense because she was a slave. I don't see why Mileena would be showing off so much of her stuff in her second costume.

Well the most obvious answer would be sexy because mainly males buy games like MK. But I think you should mix it up, some modest, some sexy, some hip-hop, some gothic. But as long as the girls look good, I'll be happy.

Well, think about it. Mainly teens are into video games and stuff, so they'd want to see something they can relate to. And thats all I have to say.

I like Sonya's alternate in the skin tight military clothes. It's sexy and modest at the same time.

If I had to pick though, keep them sexy.

even so. MK is MK. and its fine the way it is. no one wants to see it turn into some bubble gum pop shit. it has its own mood and thats part of the magic that makes it what it is.

I think that would be real stupid! I think that is being un original. If you would like to see that type of stuff like a skater and prep guy then go and play some "street fighter" games.

Well, personally I don't buy video games so I can look at polygonal women's exaggerated "features." Many think this of me because I'm a fan of the DOA series, but really I just like the blend of accessibility and depth, and the action (not the jiggling action). Seriously.

But I think in MK's case...MK takes place in such a colorful world with colorful characters, making things too modest might collide with all of that. Still, I think there should be modest outfits, and not-so-modest outfits for each of the characters. That way everyone can be happy.

People tend to get a little butt hurt when they see women portrayed in games or movies in a sexual manner. They say it's degrading to women and pointless. But nobody says a word about the men. Most of them are muscular some half naked with tight clothes and buldging junks. Same thing with our society... men can walk around half naked all they want and it's ok. But women are looked at as slutty if they show a little skin. It's like it's a sin to look at a woman's body or something. It's funny though because everyone LIKES to see it. You're just not supposed to like it for some reason.


But when it comes to characters in video games, it all comes down to one word. FANTASY. People will always like to look at sexy bodies. Both men and women. Even if it's a bunch of polygons, it can still look very appealing. It's not any more degrading to women than it is to men. If anything I'd say it would be flattering.

So... I'm going to say go with the sexy look. Modest is for real life. We play fantasy games with fantasy men and women. Long as you're not being completely lewd there's nothing wrong with it.

I'm not sure what you mean?- DO you mean showing flesh- or body shape? Wearing makeup? What?

Personally i'm all for bikinis and catsuits- but i'd like to see the odd girl wearing some trousers or a jumper- (you don't generally see this in videogames since it involves a bit of cloth physics)

However, videogames should have women with fit bodies (i reckon the mk women maybe need a bit more muscle really), pretty faces, and they should all wear high heels. The end.

PS that other guy is right- you're not going to catch scorpion wearing a baggy t-shirt- and moloch wears next to nothing- and noone complains. Hmmm.
