Both of these characters have only 1 negative thing in common:

Old stories that need improvement.

I have lately seen many diverse opinions of the fans around here, so I wanted to know your thoughts about these 2 characters with potential. I had made a similar thread about this a long time ago were Sonya was voted as the fans favorite female character, and Frost took the second place.

If I had to choose the return of one, I think you know Sonya would definitely be my choice, but first lest analyze why: THE REASONS!

-------
------
SONYA:
------
-------

She is the original chick of the Mk world. She has been around since the first tournament and is by far, the only female to have appeared in all the series (except Mk2, but she still played an important role in the story), and one of the very few characters to actually be in the majority of the games.

She is probably the most important earth warrior character after Liu Kang. She is a classic.

Sonyas first appearance was outstanding, she showed her self as a tough female that managed to become the No1 character of that game. Top Tier. She has always returned better then ever, improved in every single way.

Her MKDA appearance would mark a very important fate in her character. We had seen the posts of many members who said they had been very disappointed to see her return, but completely changed their minds after playing with her. They realized her potential and how extremely powerful she was, which in fact, marked her character (again) as a Top Tier and the fans fave.

Sonya became more popular then before.

--------------
HER SPECIAL MOVES are some of the most powerful and unique ones:
---------------

MK1:

-We have the infamous Leg Grab which is clearly a fans favorite, one of the most powerful moves around, very original.
-We have her Ring Toss which was very cool, nicely done.
-We have her Wave Punch that was extremely useful in air attacks.

MK3:

-All the ones mentioned above. (Her Ring Toss was improved with awesome effects)
-We have her Vertical Bicycle Kick which was an outstanding add! Perfect for air attacks, even better then Liu Kangs!

MK4:

-All the ones mentioned above.
-We have her Cartwheel kicks that were perfect to perform excellent combos.
-We have her Air Leg Grab which was also good for air attacks and combos.

MKDA:

Sadly, her best moves were out, but all of us were more then pleased with:

-The Kiss of Death. This move is simply one of the most powerful specials in this game. Perfect for brutal combos, fast and very original.
-Her Fly kick was just good, great for far distance attacks but NOTHING really special.

----------
FATALITIES:
----------

Sonyas Trade Mark Fatality is definitely her Kiss of Death, each Mk game brought it improved in everyway, making it look deadlier then before. What better way to show some sarcasm then killing your victim with a kiss?:

MK1:

-A fire kiss that was nicely done. The fire and skeleton effect was very cool.

MK3:

-Again, another Fire kiss that was even better then the first!
-But we also had the Energy Kiss which was awesome! Imagine that thing in 3D. The effect was very cool.

MK4:

-A new Kiss of Death that made her opponents torso explode. It was good, but NOT her best.
-A change, we have a Leg Grab fatality that was wicked! Perfectly done. One of my faves.

MKDA:

-Probably her best Kiss of Death fatality. The puking effect of blood and stuff was just awesome. The head smash was not special but fitted ok in the fatality. It was voted as one of the fans favorite fatality, in the game that managed to have the worst fatalities of all time.

------------
HER CONCEPT DESIGN:
------------

Not in one game has she looked the same. She is the only blond, and just like her power, her looks kept getting better and better. She is by far the only female to actually stay with her pants on and not walk around half naked. She looks sexy, but decent.

--------
-------
KITANA:
-------
--------

Kitana made an outstanding appearance in Mk2, many agree that was simply her best game. She came with the look of a mysterious female dressed as an awesome blue ninja. Probably the thing that caught more our attention was her steel fans powers. Simply awesome.

Now, Kitanas true appearances have to be Mk2 and MkDA. Sadly, she was added as a second choice character in the other games such as MkU, and MKG. Even though she lacked of power in MKU, she proved her strength in MKG, she was a Top Tier in that game, VERY string. Unfortunately, she was one of the worst in MKDA.

-----------
HER SPECIAL MOVES:
-----------

MK2:

Even though Jade also had her steel fans, Kitana managed to take them as her trademark.

-We have her Fan Throw, which was simply awesome and deadly. It was even done in air which was perfect for air attacks! One of the best moves.
-We have her Fan Swipe which was very cool!
-We have her Fan Lift which was perfect for brutal attacks, especially against Kintaro.
-We have her Wave Punch I cant really say anything nice about it since it was just like Sonyas.

MKU:

-She only returned with the fan throw, wave punch and fan lift. Nothing new.

MKG:

-The same. Nothing New.

MKDA:

Sadly, her best moves were out.

-The Pretty Kick was actually pretty good.
-Her Fan Lift was not really useful.

---------
FATALITIES:
---------

Well, I'm not taking sides, this is just how I see it. Kitana not only took the wave punch and neck brake grab from Sonya, she also took the Kiss of Death name, but still, this is how I see it:

MK2:

-Definitely her best Kiss of Death fatality. A fans favorite. The way the victim exploded and started to grow was perfectly done! The meat, guts and bones were awesome.
-Decapitation, it was simple but very cool.

MKU:

-Now, her Kiss of Death was not good. It was bad. The way the head started to grow was copied from Kabal (and it didnt work, even though it made more sense) and she took it.
-All Decapitations in this game were bad.

MKTRILOGY:

-Her Kiss of Death fatality was changed, it was not as shocking or cool as it was in MK2, but much better then before.
-Again, ALL Decapitations were bad in this game.

MKG:

-Now, even though her Decapitation was simple and the same as before, it was much better because of the winning pose. It added a cool touch to it.
-The Kiss of Death was well, the way they made the people look like balloons was bad.

MKDA:

-Probably her worst fatality. One of the worst in that game, but hey, almost all the fatalities sucked anyway.

---------------
HER CONECPT DESIGN LOOK:
---------------

Kitana has always looked the same, and even though many dislike that, I LOVE her looks, and in MKDA I was more then happy to see the Long Hair, which was probably the best thing about her. I love her ninja look, but I have to admit it lost its mysterious feeling since MKU. Her best look was Mk2.

I have always said this: Kitana has one of the most original looks ever.

Sadly though, many disagree with me since, we have the whole clone ninja family. Kitana, Jade, Mileena and Tanya all look the same. They wear the same. Probably thats the negative thing about her look, with so many characters looking just like her, I guess there is nothing really original.

And even cool characters that dont look like her, seem to be just like her cause of the repetitive costumes. Sindel, Sheeva, Sareena, Nitara, Li Mei (alt) and the others mentioned before are just alike, walking around half naked.
------------------------------
---------------------
-------------
So, this is a COMPLETE analysis on these 2 characters. Give your opinion about them, we know both need a story twist, a change there, so, if you have any ideas feel free to share them.

If you want to give out your opinion about their special moves, fatalities, looks post here.

I also want to point out I love them both, and even though I prefer Sonya, I was fair on the analysis. The things I pointed out about Kitana being almost a clone (she has copied many things from many characters) are true and not a reason to start a war.

Excellent work once again, Queve!

All they need is a story revamp! Less of the klling twin sisters, and less of the tough girl acting hard rubbish! Give them a sense of realism and some real storylines and they'll go far. Bring back some of the classic feel, moves and Fatalities for them and you'll have Sonya nd Kitana at their dadly best!

Wow i feel like i just read a book lol. U made sum really good points thought and i do think though u make sum incorrect ones to. Like how u said that Kitanas costume looked like Sindels, Tanyas, and Li Meis. The only other char she really looked like was Jade and Mileena. And u said summtin about her and the other females going around half naked, well i dont know about u but i love seeing them half naked, but hey thats just my option. As for Sonya u said everything that anyone has ever had to say about her. But still i couldnt really choose who i would want to come back. Real good job though

I want kitana to be improved. I really liked her in MK2 and UMK3. When I played with her in MKDA i was a little dissapointed. She looked awful and her moves where slow. I didnt really like her. In MK6 i want her to be given a new look, more deadly. I want the old kitana back.

Great analysis! I also think Kitana and Sonya could use improvement. No ideas for their stories (frankly, I don't care about the stories, just the game). I can say I liked playing as Sonya in MKDA - she had good fighting styles. I liked Kitana's fans, and the fact that you could use them as a projectile at the expense of losing them made playing her more strategic. Both of them could use serious upgrades in the fatality department, though. Nice work, queve!

Cool thread queve.

Overall, I prefer Sonya to Kitana and I completely agree when you said that they need storyline enhancements. Although I felt her story didn't progress that much, Sonya's storyline in MK: DA was a little more interesting because of her rivalry with Frost. And also with the Red Dragon trying to wipe out the Black Dragon, perhaps Kano might need some help so maybe he can try to join forces with Sonya to take down the Red Dragon. They could manipulate and deceive each other so that they can get what they want. I'd also like to see more development with the rivalry between Sonya and Frost.

When it comes to gameplay, I liked using Sonya more than Kitana but Sonya needs her classic moves back like you said.

As for fighting styles, I prefered using Sonya over Kitana. If Sonya is going to be in Mortal Kombat: Deception, she should keep her styles but they should of course be enhanced. Tae Kwon Do should have kicks from Karate and Tae Kyon (a Korean kicking art) as well as punches and also a bit of trapping moves believe it or not. I'm not sure about Kenpo though I'm sure it should be a bit similar to Shaolin Fist. Overall, she should be quite fast and relatively strong but lack grappling skills.

In terms of looks, I thought her MK: DA was good but I think it can be improved on a bit in terms of face because sometimes her face doesn't look right...

Now on to Kitana....

Well..um...her storyline is kind of dead and it really seems to rely on other characters. With Liu Kang and Goro dead, she is of course filled with sadness and possibly also anger. With Sindel and Mileena in Mortal Kombat: Deception, I wouldn't be surprised if they had a part in trying to boost Kitana's storyline. I'd actually like to see Mileena take over Kitana's body and pose as Kitana to rule as princess of Edenia.

For special moves, she should have her Fan Throw and the Fan Lift and Fan Swipe and some other moves.

When it comes to fighting styles, Eagle Claw and Ba Gua Zhang do suit her but they need to have acrobatic stuff for defense and eagle claw moves for parrying for her Eagle Claw. Ba Gua Zhang, one of the 3 Chinese internal martial arts styles should be soft and fluid. Unfortunately, I don't know about Ba Gua Zhang as much as I'd like to so I can't really help you out too much there. Her Steel Fan style suits her. There's an actual name for that style. It's called Tessen-jitsu.

Overall, she should be more of a fast and fluid character that lacks power.

As for looks, I like her MK2 and MKT looks the best. She should have more of a warrior princess look to her if she's going to be in Mortal Kombat: Deception.

I agree that their storylines need abit of a re-vamp, but i don't know what.

I'd like to see Sonya stay the same as in MK:DA, she played well and looked good. But it'd be nice if they brought back her leg grab and maybe the cartwheel kick.

I'd like to see Kitana come back with a new look, very regal and princess like but still with a ninja-esque look. They really need to lose the swimsuit outfits for the female characters! A few more moves with her fans and i'd be very happy (not just vertical/horizontal slashes x3).

Another great thread! Awesome.

Lets see, with this I can see why I hate Kitana so much. So yeah, my vote goes to Sonya. She is the bad-ass chick of the games!

Sonya has lots of potential and should return. She is MUCH better then Kitana.

The unpleasant facts about Sonya and Kitana:

Sonya replaced Curtis Stryker, an African-American soldier, in MK. Mostly, her moves were "feminized" versions of Liu Kang's moves. She was an afterthought and it showed. Sadly, this was continued in later MKs.

Kitana replaced Sonya like Mileena replaced Kano and Jade replaced Johnny Cage. Female ninjas were only used to replace other missing characters. Naturally, there were many similar moves between Kitana and Sonya.

Despite these unfortunate truths, Kitana and Sonya are some of my favorite kombatants. I think it's a good idea to give her new moves because it shows that thought is finally being put into these characters. I hope they are both in Deception because I want these characters explored more.

p.s.

It's not fair to compare Tanya to Kitana and Mileena. The only reason Tanya exists is because time constraints prevented the completion of Kitana and Mileena for MK4.

Well I love both Kitana and Sonya. But if you look to Kitana's fans you should realize that tehy are of a great potential and moreover she is the only character who have a decent weapon because it's different of the others (mostly swords). What she needs is a revamp(HUGE) of the special moves. In MK:DA they were not only poor but she lacked them.

Sincerly i din't even bother her story. By the way, when the game is out i simply want to play and i am not interested if she is bad, good, died and ressurected, Had sex or not. I just want to play. And frankly i think the most of you will do the same.

Well what Kitana realy needs first is a new look. A good thing about the next generation mortal kombat is multiple costumes. This way they can keep her classic ninja look as an alternate and at the same time give her a complete new look. They did it with Mileena, i mean damn... they did it with almost everybody (Sub-Zero, Mileena, Ermac). Why not give her a new look.

Then there are her special moves where in my opinion the most changes are needed. If shes back she will have all her classic moves back... thats a start. But if you look back what moves are that??

FAN THROW She actually could throw her fans in MKDA already the only difference will be that she probable can throw them multiple times, witch is a good thing.

FAN LIFT She could do the fan lift in MKDA so nothing new there.

FAN SWIPE Well if you switch to her weapon stance you could do lots of fan swipes so I guess that move is out of the picture

So actually the WAVE PUNCH is the only forgotten move she will get back (if it is even possible in 3D). So yes they have to give her some really good new moves too. and a new fatalty ofcourse, dump that kiss of dead thing.

And finally about her story I dont know. I dont care that much if the stories are good or not in MK. But with Sindel and Mileena back Im sure they could come up with something good.

About Sonya there is nothing i need to ad... just give her some of her all time favorite moves back like the leg grab and the ring toss and she will be even better then she ever was.

Good thread and thoughts queve.
My two cents:

I never cared about Sonya. Storyline-wise, I never gave her a second thought. First she was after Kano and wanted to save her team; my apathy was palpable. And from there she's fought Shao Kahn and Shinnok's armies and so on and so forth. Still don't care. I don't see anything about Sonya's personality or story appealing. She's just dull to me.

I don't agree with Sonya beging the most important character after Liu Kang. She wasn't in MK2 except for the background of a stage and Jax's story and the game went off without a hitch.

In MK1, I never used Sonya because I didn't care about her or her moves. And, honestly, I thought she was ugly as sin in MK1. She looked like she had a horse face and a mullet.

In MK3 Sonya returned my initial reaction was "Hey, Sonya's hot now." And that was about it.

In MK4, Sonya was okay, but my feeling is I never cared about Sonya before, why start now? And in MK:DA, I almost never use Sonya. I'm just not interested.

I don't mean to offend Sonya fans; Sonya is a classic I suppose, and I'll respect that. I suppose some interesting things could happen between Sonya and Mavado or Frost; but I highly doubt my opinion about Sonya will ever change. I simply don't care about her.

Now Kitana. For starters, I thought Kitana looked a hell of a lot better than Sonya. (I'm prefer brunettes) I thought her moves were sweet and her fatalities were awesome.

The quality of Kitana's fatalities have gone down recently however. If they do give her another Kiss of Death it should more than just the victum explodes. It should be something really vile and disturbing. And if not, then just drop the Kiss fatality and think of new ones.

I may be a minority, but I thought Kitana wasn't that bad in MK:DA. I was good with her. I'm not going to say everyone suck because they don't know how to use her properly because people have different tastes and fighting preferences. Granted she could have been much better; but I thought wasn't all that bad.

There was something about Kitana's story that appealled to me. Something about the reformed assassins looking for redemption. She turns her back on the only life she really knows and tries to restore her realm and win the approval of the people who probably hated her guts (she was one of Kahn's assassins after all). In spite of all the loss she's gone through she still fights and to top it off, she didn't have to. Kahn liked Kitana, she could have just as easily ignored everything Kahn did to her family and kept being his assassin.
I don't know, I just think that's a damn good story.

Unfortunatly, Kitana's current story is lagging, mainly because she has no one to challenge her. In MK:DA she was just there to fight bad guys; no real challenge, no inner struggle, no real conflict. But hopefully with Mileena and Sindel back, Kitana will have something to do. And even if she isn't involved with them, Shang Tsung, assuming he's still alive, still has Liu Kang's soul. He could use it against her. We should see something like that. Instead of having characters always trying to kill Kitana, she should have an enemy who can attack her mind and spirit.

Anyway, those are my thoughts on Sonya and Kitana. I'll always prefer Kitana to Sonya and I couldn't possibly imagine what could be done with Sonya to make me change my mind. No offense to Sonya fans, just my opinion.

just because u sucked with kitana in umk3 and mkda doesnt mean she was a bad fighter..if u look each character in mkda had a level of skill to play with them.. well sonya had a level 1 meaning not much skill needed to be good with her. kitana had a level of 4 meaning u had to to be a good mkda player to be good with her....and in mk2 - mk4 she never receieved new moves because she didnt need new moves she was good with the 1's she had. dont fix something that doesnt need to be fixed...in umk3/mkt she was deadly... ur topic name should be changed to " my complete opinon of sonya and kitana".........

Great thread.

I will choose Sonya over Kitana any day. The things you said are quite true. I used to love Kitana, back in the mk2 days, but she hasnt evolved one bit since then! Same moves (and stolen), same looks, same fatalities, same everything! She doesn't bring anything new to the story, she is just there.

MKDA was her complete downfall, she looked her best with the hair, I agree, but that was it. As a fighter she was simply lame when compared to others, she was weak. She lost that cool thing she had about being a ninja assassin, I no longer see her mysterious, just like another female that dresses the same way all the others do. (Please, no offence to Kitana fans, its MY opinion)

Sonya has the tough look we love about her, and the great thing is that she hasnt lost it! In fact, in MKDA it was better then ever. But actually, if Sonya doesnt make it in MK deception, I wouldnt worry too much, I'm sure she will be back for Mk7. Sonya is simply above Kitana in everything.

OMG, dude .I respect your opinion but that sounded really like some very bad excuse. I mean what do you mean by dont fix something that doesnt have to be fixed?????

Every character needs to be improved at its best in everyway possible! And believe, we have even seen Kitana fans complaining about the lack of originality in the special moves she has. Kitana NEEDED urgently new moves back at the MkU-Mk4 days, and specially now.

She was rated 4 in MKDA cause she lacked of powerful attacks capable enough to compete against others like Scorpion, but dont get me wrong, I was actually pretty good with Kitana in MKDA; but she sucked bad.

I agree! I LOVE The steel fans! They are my fave weapons of the game, but I hope they make them more powerful if they return. they were fast and deadly, but not enough.

But I also disagree. We also have other original weapons like the cool Kali sticks that were simply fast and deadly. VERY powerful with power-up. Also Nitaras, Hsu Hao, and Cage had excellent weapons.

Anyway, awesome thread! You actually pointed out ever single detail there is about these two characters. If I had to choose, I would say Sonya.

Kitana is ok, I love her steel fans, but I dont like her so much anymore. She is my best in Mk2, but when Mk3 came out, I fell in love with Sindel and forgot all about kitana. Sonya has much more potential IMO. She has always been there, and she changes everytime, making her better then ever!

Looking back, I notice a lot of people say Sonya's story the best because she's so original.
But I read comics, and characters like Sonya, the "tough sarcastic women who don't take shit from anybody," are a dime a dozen. Many of which, came before Sonya and have much more depth. And I think that's why I never got into Sonya's character. She's just a cliche to me.

Kitana on the other hand; sure there have been plenty of "renegade princesses trying to save the world," but few to none of them are like Kitana.

IMO, the characters with the most depth are Kitana and Mileena.

You are wrong. I'm an excellent fighter with Kitana in Mortal Kombat Trilogy, and in MKDA I'm just as good! I take all the potential she has and do a great job in the fighting arenas.

I can beat my friends with ger easily, and even in the MAX option. BUT playing great with a character doesnt make that character to be one of the best. Compared to the other fighters in MKDA, Kitana IS bad, very bad. She has no competition. Ask Konqrr or Neo.

Dont get me wrong, I love playing with Kitana, she was deadly in MKGold and Mk2, but not in any other game. Also, the way you said why fix her if she is already good is wrong, she needs serious improvement in her special moves and fatalities. Many Kitana fans agree with that.

Sonyas attitude is bad-ass! Its awesome to see her like that and its fun to read the comic. It makes you feel her character. She has a true personality. Kitana kind a bores you with her personality, she is just a princess that talks nice with modest words...typical.

Cool thread. If I had to choose 1, I will most definitely say Sonya for the reasons that everyone has already said. I just think Kitana is no longer Kitana if you know what I mean. She was so cool in Mk2, but in the other games she was just not unique, nor original.

I choose Sonya.

I think I'll have some sympathy for Kitana when Mileena eats her up.

Or maybe when Sindel betrays her!
