Realistically, people aren't going to have the exact image of a "perfect face".

Complaints like "her neck is still too long" ignore the fact that these variations are NORMAL. These expectations have come from unfortunate sources, time to put them away.

Her face looks fine. This is Mortal Kombat, not a beauty contest.
I second this. There is absolutely no reason MK girls should look like supermodels under circumstances no woman would try to.
Extra lulz for those who complain about said characters looking plain and not conforming to Hollywood beauty standards - in the same freaking sentence.

Your point is valid when said variations can not be prevented, like genetics for example. But computer modeling and rendering is totally in the hands of the modeler, so there's no excuse. I'm not saying models should be all the same, because it'd worse than palette swaps, but god damn if you have the chance to make them appealing then do so, otherwise you're a pervert. No one likes unappealingness...except perverts.

Oh, my days !
Some of this engine's textures look pretty shitty and there are way too many similarities in costumes because of them.

Most humble shit talker ever!!!
Do NRS have too much pride to ask for outside help? maybe somebody come in and train the designers tips on form of a women.

i dont know maybe their purposely making females look less girly or something
not a big deal, just gonna be annoying reading every comment on the game when it drops a new females char of people complaining how she looks over the gameplay

You can clearly see they're working and trying for us so give them some credit
Its genuinely hard to see the effort, not trolling at all. Animation 101, their UV mapping engine/software is what's doing a lot of the work here. UV mapping in short, is what makes surfaces look realistic. To achieve the best possible looking object or person, requires a competent modeler at the very least, which NRS lacks tremendously. UV mapping in quite literally a shortcut to make a surface appear what it isn't. You take any object and lay out every face of it or every surface of it, and then you can apply a realistic image that acts like a gift wrapper on it all. The program is so sophisticated, that if the image is textured, it can even pick up on the texture and have light hit it in such a way that it appears as though it isn't a flat surface.

Point being, NRS doesn't model their faces all the way and its extremely clear as you can see how disproportionate all the features are. Its done at less than minimum, and they use UV mapping to compensate for the lack of work. I and hopefully all others that talk about looks, aren't asking for Maxim models. I just want a company and animators to actually put in the work as if they actually had a passion for it and not just cashing a check. The road to become an animator is so long and expensive that its such a disrespectful slap in the face that this ass work makes it big while countless others that have talents far exceeding these guys, have to work their asses off just to get a foot in the door

Savagely beating his super-ego with his id...
I think the neck issue has been resolved thats the only issue that stood out to me...
I do find it kinda predictable that a bunch of guys are throwing a fit for lack of a better term about their video game girls not being hot enough...
I dont see many women complaining that all the men are prettymuch disfigured monsters and such..
especially with all the crap with GG going on in the industry I think its time that just like in real life we stop judging girls by their looks alone and start judging them on what really matters...their fighting style..
 
I'm glad half of us are on the same page... but the other half... guys, this whole discusssion looks REALLY BAD.

We're saying Cassie Cage doesn't look feminine because of slight proportion differences that many real women have. "Her neck is a bit too long" or "her jaw line angle is not as sharp as it should be" or "her lips are slightly bigger than normal" or anything that could be a feature of any woman in existence and would not be considered "weird" or "gross" in real life, only in video games where we expect girls to look like some hollywood barbie doll.

Hell, the face you're seeing could very likely be a 3D image capture of a real person, who everyone here is calling "weird" and "unfeminine".

The FGC has a pretty (extremely) bad reputation for this stuff, we don't need to make it worse.
