According to the majority of MK fans, yes she should. And if you took a poll from video game players in general, they would agree.

NSR and WB are businesses, first and foremost - they need to do what makes money. Video games and embarassingly overblown "sex appeal" have gotten on like a house on fire for a long, long time, especially in the fighting game world, and it makes a fuck-tonne of money.

So no, you can't blame them. Regardless of how horrible you (and I) might find Sonya's look (or Kitana's, or Mileena's, etc.), we're in the minority. We're not the ones giving Boon enough money to put food on his table.

The horde of dorks are.

I'm more like a metroid. Fit me right under your shirt and I won't let go.

The 99% proven leak list stated that Frank West was removed during development.

Happens a lot.

Well it's either huge boobs or negative boobs.

This dude is playing hardball.

True. What we have here is a consistently correct source corroborated by an xbox achievement. The odds are soaringly in her favor.

But I STILL wouldn't celebrate yet. There's a difference between an incredibly substantiated claim and confirmation.

I'm gonna go ahead and celebrate.

Pfft, whatever Temp. I bet you also don't dive in less than 6 feet of water and don't put metal objects into electrical sockets.

Square.

So NRS is stuck with either no grasp of what a real woman IS, or a purely teenage mentality: "women = huge tits; let's get the boys in!!"

Pathetic.

MK once advertised itself as at least looking realistic. Now we have most if not ALL women in high heels with their uncovered 36FFs bouncing around.

*patiently sits by keg watching Shoryuken.com*

Any day now...


Oh, you could say my wilder days are behind me. But at the really crazy parties, I can dive into six feet of water with the best of them.
I don't disagree, and for the most part, I think the excess sex appeal works for MK. I tirelessly defended Mileena's costume when she was revealed, but Sonya doesn't fit that mold. From a sales perspective, the sex element was already covered. As long as we have Mileena and Sindel, we wouldn't need Sonya to look the way she does.

MK has never looked realistic, and has always had over-sexualized women.

Nothing has changed.

Breast implants

eeeggh you guys are really mucking up the image I had of this game. Now I just see the sexploitation. The funny thing is, it just suits MK. It really really does.

Not really,

Seriously?

MK 1-3 used digitized actors and, indeed, boasted that this game a hightened look of realism. Plus I don't recall any of the girls in those games wearing heels. Until UMK3 they didn't even show any cleavage.

MK Gold's models didn't have high heels, either. So...a lot has gradually changed.

Boots to heeled boots, big whoop. Also, digitized acting =/= realism.

I think that Mileena overall should be less sexy and more feral, mean and hateful. Her costume should be more....sleek, and there should be more of it. She looks kinda awkward when fighting, with what she's wearing.

Sonja looks like a sex doll, and ya, it's lame. I expected her to be lame though, shes just a potential victim to me. And my molesting multi arms.

Some of you are bordering on prudish, however, while others are too quick to accept the mediocre depiction of the female form, and feminine fashion sense.

I don't really see much you can do to make Mileena more feral. She jumps on enemies and bits their face. She gets really low to the ground and growls. She attacks the camera and snarls at it when she wins.

She's the little kitty cat of my dreams.

You stated that "nothing has changed." I've shown you that the depiction of women has changed and gotten far less realistic. Ever tried fighting in high heels?

Obviously unrealistic, thats not why its there

Sex sells

.

Ever tried being Sonya Blade?

I'm gonna say this one more time. Mortal Kombat is just developing with the tolerance for violence and sex.

Mortal Kombat 2 is to Batman (Tim Burton)
as
Mortal Kombat (2011) is to The Dark Knight

Mortal Kombat's just embracing a niche. I hate to break this to ya, but sexuality in video games has escalated IMMENSELY over the years. Shit like what we're seeing today just wouldn't fly back in the SNES days. It really didn't take long for Mortal Kombat to start putting their women in skimpy clothing. MK3... psh. Then we got huge busts in Mortal Kombat 4, right when they could actually depict the women in the manor they wanted to.

Sorry, but when I look at MK4 Kitana and MK(2011) Kitana... I really don't see anything drastic.

I mean the sexy poses and dancing Mileena is prone to do. I'd nix that and make it more creepy or intimidating. I guess she's supposed to be like that...kinda girlish despite her monsternez, but still. Her overtly sexual nature is what kinda ruined her for me. Her costume is pretty uninspired imho.

I'm not hating, just voicing my critiques since everyone else is.


Sonja a bimbo. Cammy wears a one piece made of popped balloon rubber but somehow comes off as less a skank. Why IS that? Sonja just doest seem like a fighter that would wear heels., Sindel yes, Even Mileena. EVEN KITANA, But not Sonja. She should have a pair of combat boots and noticable triceps. lol

I feel you on that.



Don't you dare call my Cammy a skank. You Tarkatan-milk/blood-sucking nympho.

I don't recall saying that the series HASN'T developed along with the tolerance for violence and sex.

What I said, and have shown, was that the depiction of women in MK has gradually changed to something far less realistic. The clothes have gotten skimpier and now they're all wearing heels. It simply looks stupid.

LOL.

Sonya has always had huge boobs. She's always been a "subtle sex symbol" in MK. Why are some people making a big deal about it now? Like, almost 19 years later?

It's not like it's a surprise, but, I still wonder how in the world she can stand up with her back straight in Shaolin Monks and DC Universe...specially in MKSM. Those have got to be the biggest boobs in MK history (and her MKDA canons are a huge honorable mention).

PS: Yes, the pictures were absolutely necessary. And I still think MKSM has the most exaggerated boobs, like, ever. I mean, look at the tiny size of the girl's waist!! How is this even possible?













Yeah, Sonya has always been a lady of huge respectable attributes. And she's got some pretty big ones in this game too. Big. Deal.



Absolutely.



Sonya kicked ass in MKvsDC. She was easily one of the best characters of that game thanks to her flawless presentation. Her cutscenes are among the most memorable (along side the Joker's cutscenes).
