Wasn't this enough proof that his ability to look and reason beyond the first-sight obvious and his capacity for rhetorics is vastly underdeveloped?

It breaks down to the fact that there were few female characters introduced early and only a couple of those were given interesting origins/aesthetics/and gameplay. *I'm looking at you Sonya*.
Of the 6 mentioned, I thought Mileena and Sindel were noteworthy. Honorable mention to Sheeva who is good in concept (Female Shokan house o' pain), but weak in execution (lame gameplay and weak story). Sonya has always had boring gameplay and a pretty pain-by-numbers backstory which consists of (Fuckin I hate you KANO! I don't care if you're a B-list character!) Rinse and repeat.
Kitana had fun gameplay but suffers from Liu Kang golden boy syndrome in that her motivations revolve around being "the good guy" with little emphasis.
Sindel is awesome because she wears skunk pelts as hats and screams a lot. Probably because she's really frustrated that she smells so bad but likes to be on the cutting edge of fashion.

Li Mei? Come on that joke character isn't worth mentioning, she is horrible in looks and in moves/fatalities/story everything.

Mortal Kombat just doesn't have very many interesting female characters. The male characters are just generally better; it's unfortunate to say, but true in my opinion. The females that are actually interesting were created too late in the series to be in this game, so instead of interesting characters like Nitara, Frost or Li Mei we'll look at Sheeva instead.

Sonya, Sindel and Jade will be in the game for sure, no doubt about it. Sheeva is the only one that worries me, her chances IMO seem pretty slim.
Kitana, Mileena, Sonya, Sindel, and Jade, that's only 5 females. Is that enough? I say Yes. Because having less females makes us value them more, that's what I think. 5 females is good but if Sheeva also made it, it would be perfect.
And out of all the new females, I only like Lei Mei. The rest bore me, so I'm glad none of em will be in MK9, or at least it's very very very unlikely =).

What? you're mad. She does use magic (her Nova Blast), she's the same race as Bo'Rai Cho (and technically Sub-Zero is a real Chinese Outworlder), and her "cloth" style is right in line with what everyone else wears. She later even dons full-on battle armor, and that's about as "un-Tekken" as you can get!

She has a magical projectile and magical effects on some of her specials, perhaps you need to play the game again. We've seen before "race" has no bearing on where a character is from in Mortal Kombat. Jade is from the same place as Kitana and looks nothing like her, do you think Jade is a Tekken character too?

How does she look like a "school girl"? You're acting like she was there for nothing but eye candy. Her primary costume is one of the only female costumes to feature pants.
Her story in Deadly Alliance is very reminiscent of Liu Kang's. She doesn't fight because she wants to, she fights because she has no choice and wants to save her people.
Her evolution over the two games was quite extraordinary compared to most characters. In two games she grew from an innocent fighter trying to save her village, to a skilled warrior conflicted between good and evil. You can tell they were planning to take that even further with her Deception ending.
That's more development than characters like Mileena and Baraka had in 11 years.

I thought Nitara was the best. The wings were a little much for me but she brought something fresh and new to the franchise.And out of all the new females, I only like Lei Mei. The rest bore me, so I'm glad none of em will be in MK9, or at least it's very very very unlikely =).

Tekken and Dead or Alive bore the hell out of me.

And i'm not talking about that sexy alternate outfit, but about the other one, with the long pants.

I love all fighting games, but Mortal Kombat is the only one I go to the forums for.
You know who else loves Tekken? Ed Boon. It's his favorite fighting game, actually.

Li Mei is my favorite female character, and I suck at Tekken.
I'm okay at Dead or Alive.
