Was that something that was in need of confirmation?

It sounds like not all of the old Bezzy is dead yet. ;P
My favourite character in Street Fighter has abs, and small boobs even, and I still think she looks stunning! But that is quite off-topic though.

I think men and women are both beautiful.

When they look like men and women. I ain't a fan of people who look like the opposite gender.

And fuck me if every single chick (except Sheeva) in MK2011 doesn't have the same exact body model with a different costume and head pasted on.

Be careful now, because if you are indeed wrong, I'm coming over and fuck you. XD

Keep dunking your Kenshi breadsticks into your Skarlet sauce, people! The main course isn't coming for a while, and you never know when it's going to be disappointing.

You know what, you don't have to be. You don't exist to please others and, more importantly, no one exists to please you. SO as long as you let others live their own lives how they want to, you're ok and not an asshole.

The maturity level shown by most of you is downright pathetic. Why can't we have a mature discussion on half-naked male ninjas?

Also, the person who wrote that "the female form is considered the most beautiful" isn't actually correct. Greco-Romans believed the [naked] male form was the most beautiful.

Gay people are allowed to marry more and more, destroying the original meaning of marriage. Our civilization is changing dramatically in front of our eyes. 6 year olds are having sex for Christ's sake.


You are the biggest idiot I have ever seen on this forum. I also don't believe you have a "gay best friend" because he would've kicked your ass a long time ago if he even had any self-respect.


Do Greco-Romans make up most of the population? Or is this a reference to ancient times that are no longer applicable? A time when women were probably not considered much of anything when compared to a man. Women are far more considered symbols of sex and beauty TODAY. If there is a beautiful woman, people of all ages and genders will recognize this. Less so for men.

I'm not saying men are ugly, and certainly some cultures would celebrate men. But I believe I said most people. I don't think I'm not "actually correct" based on your reference.


Says who? A muscled man holds just as much sexual power as a big-breasted/big-assed woman. You're also forgetting how women are STILL seen as inferior in other cultures. Hell, the "most" you speak about only see women as objects to begin with, so I don't know how that works in your favor...

The recognition of a handsome, well-built man is not as "less so" as you may think.

I think that the pics in this thread are probably a little over the top. But I certainly wouldnt mind a if the MK guys were made a little "sexier". (However, I dont see how you can get much sexier than Kano in his alternate) I think it would be best if the men could be sexy but not dressed femininely. Plus there are a lot of sexy little costumes that the guys wear anyway. Like Strykers skin tight leather bodysuit in MK:A.
This topic went down hill.. hope everone brought umbrellas. j/k

But in all seriousness... i don't care if there were half naked men in mk. Hell there was Ruutu and Stunt Man from Challange tower.. You got Liu Kang, Blaze, Drahim, Quan Chi.

But Kitana outfit on a male.. no... just no!

If NRS would attempt such a thing or would approve of something even CLOSE to this idea (which I think would NEVER happen unless they want to self-destruct in the most comical way), I'd never support, buy or play MK ever again. My answer to your question.

First off, the pictures OP posted are ridiculous. If you want the men to be sexier, take off some shirts and put on some tights. Of course then MK might start to look like the WWE...my point is that men can be sexy without being effeminate. And I'm pretty sure the idea behind being a ninja or assassin is to not show off most of one's body...granted the girls don't follow this in MK....but we all know who is running NRS, and who is being catered to.

Holy mumba jumba... The maturity of some people truly shows when topics such as this pops up. And that's not a good thing either.


What's funny is how people overreact about men being gay, and it should be nowhere near anything such as Mortal Kombat, yet once you hear about girl on girl action, you see a lot of happiness rising up... Get a fucking hold over yourselves and stop being so homophobic.

Want your two cents to matter, go join some anti-gay site and bitch there. People have the right to discuss about things like this, can't handle things that are on the gay side, then quit acting like a little five year old and ignore threads that discusses this. Yeah, people are entitled to their opinions, but once you start bashing on something, it's not an opinion anymore, it's a hate speech. Big difference right there.

I am straight, but I do not have an issue with the gay community. I go to a school where tons of people are gay, it's Columbia, a big huge art school, and I don't have an issue with them.

I don't see what the problem in trying to somewhat over-sexualize the male characters. The only problem is, you got a heck of a lot of male designers working on this game. Not trying to sound sexist there or finding a reason to show an issue, but I don't think any one of them would have a thought to try to over sexualize a male character. Not that they wouldn't if they were given a chance, I just don't think they ever would do something like that... Unless they want to and could.

Even if MK was made by an all-female team, there could be some chances of over-sexualized characters, but I don't think they might if they want to either.

Would MK ever have something like what Queve posted in this game? Probably not, but it wouldn't hurt to see men looking like Fabio or Edge/Shawn Michaels, or Malibu from American Gladiators.

No male characters would have the amazing glorious ass that my boyfriend has... Maybe Kenshi, but I don't really see anything too special about that...

Would I have an issue if all the male characters start looking like those pictures? Nope. And it's not because it's a girl thing either.

Though a lot of you guys need to seriously grow up. Queve is asking a question, it's not a stupid one, it's not a pathetic one. Yeah it's a topic that not too many people can tolerate/accept, but seriously, if your two-cents requires any kind of hatred towards the gay community even though this thread isn't really about something like that, go to some site that gives a fuck. Not here obviously.

I don't really care how much or how little anyone has on, as long as they play well and I have fun with them. I use Urien in 3rd Strike, and I never thought "omg a man in a thong gross!" I thought "wow this guy is so badass, he doesn't need to wear anything because he thinks no one can harm him! Haha awesome!" Whatever they decide to put a character in, male or female is their choice, I just hope that whichever route they go in, they make the characters look cool. For example, I don't want to see Stryker in a clown costume, and if they decide to make Sub-Zero shirtless, his shorts better be blue! If they wanted to cover Kitana up completely that's fine too, as long as they don't ditch the trademark fans wink

Right??!! Urien's badass! and I'm a straight guy. Whatever someone is wearing or not wearing as either sex isn't a big deal to me. I just play to have fun, and enjoy the backstories

Make Lifeguard Stryker: give him swim trunk (doesn't even need to be a speedo), sunglasses, keep the hat, and shirtless.

THEN we're even.


But in all seriousness, we're already even. Everyone complains about Sonya and Kitana's face, Mileena's immaturity, Sindel's existence, Skarlet's voice, and Jade's questionable race.... It makes you wonder if they even care about their appearance.

All in the while, GameFAQs, here, and several other forums....what's going on? People are talking about how hot Johnny, Kano, Jax, Smoke (have a friend who really digs Smoke), Kung Lao, Stryker, Kenshi, and Ermac's nose is.

I think we're even. Sure, I want Stryker to have a shirtless alt but....I also want make out with Stryker until I can't tell the difference between our saliva, but really...how soon is THAT going to happen?

A Banana hammock does not make a guy instantly gay, more like extremely brave imho. I would never wear one.

Don't forget Urien's brother, Gill.


That guy was a badass. He's even got the Fabio hair. Annoying to fight, though.

On topic , though, I don't really see the need. Several of the female's costumes I roll my eyes at, too. (I'm looking at you, Sonya!) I suppose if it makes sense for the character, it'd be okay, but not many of the male fighters can I picture fighting in something really skimpy. Maybe Johnny in a banana hammock for a super unlockable costume. >_>
