The title is misleading in a way; however, if you are reading this then it got your attention. I personally found Kitana's hair movements to be horrible when she was first introduced. I have seen huge improvements; however, it seems that many people are still bothered by the rubber band (as some call it) effect.

I can relate to those who said it was distracting, but I don't feel that way any longer (as more gameplay has been released). Yet, there are still those who say it doesn't move "realistically".

This made me think about the Noob Saibot trailer. Let me first say that Noob was never a character I gave two s**ts about. I watched the trailer and was very impressed. (still wouldn't have an urge to play as him, but they did a good job for his fans IMO) I thought the x-ray with the vomit was awesome, BUT (you knew that was coming) ... vomit certainly wouldn't fly out of a ninja that was wearing a mask. Realistically, the mask wouldn't hold it, but it would dribble and not fly straight forward.

I understand the defense "the x-ray move is seen a fraction of the time" compared to the entire match (ala hair movements). But if your argument is realism, why haven't I heard any (unless I missed a post) of those same people complain on this?

Let me conclude that I myself don't expect total realism in any video game. I'm not complaining about Noob's x-ray. Instead I'm wondering how those "realism" defenders conclude they are different.
