One word: ovaries.

Male or female, no one's junk is safe from the Caged Fist

It certainly would be, for lack of a better word, equal if they had her ovaries cartoonishly rupture; but I have a feeling games media and some personalities would flip if NRSillustrated such physical harm to a woman. So you'll just get a basic box punch.

She wasn't in this beta, by the way. The stress test only had Scorpion, Skarlet, and Baraka. Everyone is just speculating about Cassie. Maybe we'll know for sure on the preorder beta.

Previous games have just shown groin muscle getting hit on females, and I'm figuring they'll still go that way. "Political correctness" questions aside, it still makes more sense to do it that way anyway. The ovaries and uterus located within the pelvis, and so you'd have to change the animation to show that kind of deep internal injury. And breaking through the pelvis would be much, much worse than a nut crush.

It's because of this that I've wondered ever since MK9, why don't the groin punch attacks break the pelvis? It makes sense and equalizes the sexes with just one change.

To be fair they can show the vaginal track and clit getting destroyed

Should split the pubic synthesis. Which would be absolutely terrible to be honest. I’m a myotherapist and just touching that hurts

They are probably going to make it not make contact again and that would be disappointing...
