Except for the fact that you can't side-step in this game.

Sidestep as in press the move right or left button....

Move-out-of-the-way, I guess.

You mean the back-dash...

But yeah, I pretty much agree with everything you said.

I agree with a lot of what you say. I think she needs a revamped look, and some new moves. I think that outfit definitely needs an update. I think she should have more moves that utilize her four arms. She must also be lean and agile.

The only thing I disagree with is the voice. Though, I disliked her Armageddon voice, I absolutely loved her MK3 voice. It was perfectly suiting for her. I would like something similar to that return. lol

I think the shokan stomp is a must. As well as her fireball. However, I think that she could use a charge or some sort of where she rushes the opponent. Or maybe just give her some new moves. I don't want her to be similar to Goro or Kintaro.

I don't really remember her voice in Mk3, since its such a long while ago. But her Armageddon voice gave me nightmares.

And like I say, the body-type in MK3 is fine. Just the suit needs updating. And the hair is good in MK3.

Bitch shouldn't even be in.......*rolls eyes* But this is a retelling of MK 1-MK 3 and you can't have MK3 without Sheeva so Whatevs I just won't pick the bitch.

Then don't.

literally the only thing i care about regarding sheeva is that she has the skin rip fatality. i want to see the skin rip, and then i;ll never use her again.

I want her to look just like this;



If they ignore her Armageddon look entirely and aim for her MK3 look I'll be thrilled. Her old proportions were perfect. All three Shokan just looked weird in the last few games. Also, the Skin Rip is a must. She was a bit too slow and clunky in Armageddon too. In MK3, she had speed and some killer combos. I hope she's more agile in MK9.

That's stil a bit too buff. And she used to be fairer than that. And PLEASE NO POLKA DOTS!!!

Her legs could be longer too in proportion to her body...

They're not "polka dots", all Shokan of her and Goro's ethnicity have the backsides of their bodies covered in those freckled scales. They're a "half-dragon" race, that's one of the traits that shows it. If it bothers you, I'm afraid you'll just have to learn to live with it. It's not going away.

Aaanyway, I'm honestly perfectly fine with seeing all of her MK3 moves and some only slight update of that same costume return.

Only problem is that she needs high heels in order to get in. I'm sure the reason why she hasn't been announced yet is the lack of creativity on how to put shoes on her.

I drew a fan made pic of this character, trying to capture the Shiva look a bit, I don't want her in red, she needs to be in green. And it's not like the green on Jade, it needs to be Sea Green.

She should somewhat similar towards what a Shiva looks like, so more jewelry, fancy face paint, and... maybe a different tint of skin?

But she should still be in a sea green colored outfit. I don't like red on her.

Sheeva needs to have a look based on her MK3 appearance, however, updated, as the majority of characters have gained good updates from NRS.

She can be slight taller than all others characters, but, still with a sexy body, a bit muscular strong, but without lacking sensuality. Her MK3 look was perfect for old time, so, a well-done update on that it's welcomed.

Here's to hoping she gets in, but is killed off in the opening cinematic and we don't have to look at her ever again. Alternately, give her some hair, and fix her ugly horseface. I think that's all she really needs.

I really liked Sheeva's look in MK Armageddon. She looked fierce and tough, yet her outfit gave her style. I don't want her to be another pretty little girl, she's a freaking monster and that's what makes her awesome! Not all female characters should look like models.



I love Sheeva's tan skin and her mohawk is so cool. She's rocking that look!
If anything should be improved on her it would ber her gameplay. I've always seen Sheeva as being spider-like with the way she moves and looks in MK3, but they went away from that in MKA.



And her winning pose in MK3 was gracious and noble, showing that there is more to her than simply being a monster.



They should make her more gracious in her gameplay, but still fierce and strong. We have Goro and Kintaro to be the big brute bosses, let Sheeva be less like that and more her own individual instead of simply being a female version of those two.

Yeah, I also liked Sheeva's MKA outfit. Well, maybe lose those nipple-buttons.

The only thing I like more about her MK3 look is the way she looks all menacing. I didn't get that 'watch out for her!' feeling in MKA.

Whenever I think of Sheeva, I think of her HP, HP, LP, HK, HK, LK, B+HK roundhouse combo, where she'd just do all the kicks with one leg, and I think "she should be as graceful as it is possible for a massive, hideous four-armed Shokan to be."

The problem people have with the Shokans is too much move-sharing, so everyone goes "Goro's the only good one". You fix that by making each play and feel differently. I've always felt Goro should be the agile martial arts champion, Kintaro should be the lumbering brute, and Sheeva should be the quick, nimble 'dancer'-type character.

Let Kintaro keep his teleport stomp - do NOT give it back to Goro - and rebuild Sheeva's arsenal from the ground up. The fireball was good though, I'd keep that.

Give her counters, quick attacks, and high-hitting combos; that was the most fun part of using her in the MK3 games; she did a lot of damage with rapid strikes. She should, like the other Shokans, be someone you do NOT want getting close, but be quick enough to do it at leisure.

Keep the liver-spots!

The shokans are a tough race, sure enough, but that doesn't mean that Sheeva has to look like some man-beast with boobs. Take this pic for example:



Beautiful, lady-like....yet not above kicking your ass. Or, heck, take this one:



That pic...well...I just posted that mainly because both Kitana and Mileena look asian and sexy. But the point still remains. Sheeva can be a tough and sexy fighter if enough effort is put into it. Make it happen NRS!

I wonder how the will encorporate fatalities like Kitana's onto a character with four arms. That is my main concern, that they don't half ass it and it looks glitchy or fucked up or whatever.

Im not gonna pick her so dont need you telling me not too thanx.

Positive Sheeva thread for the win! I'm hoping to see her MK 3 style of play, very nimble and graceful, but still powerful. Her combos were killer in MK3, she was a force to be reckoned with in that game. I hope we don't see anything like her Armageddon appearence, it really didn't feel like Sheeva, she felt slow, awkward, and not fun to play as like she was initially.

I'm hoping she keeps a similar look to her MK3 look, I thought it was suitable as is, the Shokans (male and female) don't wear much clothes and that's cool with me, maybe give her some skull or bone style trophies on her costume, like a necklace. Sheeva's voice and scary look is perfect, she's meant to be vicious and intimidating, she's different from most female characters.

Sheeva taking on spider like movements would fit with her nimble and graceful old gameplay style, she looks like a monster, but she's intelligent and elegant.



I'm also hoping they follow through on her rebellion against Kahn story line.
That's what Sheeva was set up to do in my opinion based on her ending.

Goro essentially stole that story from her in Deadly Alliance. I literally heard his story and was like....wait isn't that what Sheeva was supposed to do?

Then when they turned Goro back into a villian in Gamecube's Deception, they messed up both characters. Sheeva should side with Sindel this time around and lead the uprising against Shao Kahn with Sindel.They have three Shokans, so it would be nice if one of them became good and stayed that way.
