SINDEL FOR MKX

Cock Master!!
1st no character is a waste of space.
i was so pumped yesterday when i got texts about sindel being in the trailer, then i watched it and was let down again :(

im the hugest sindel fan, i love her as much as i love Kitana. i would be psyched as fuck if Sindel was a playable fighter in the game. sadly once i saw ermacs Spectral variation i knew she wouldnt be in the game :( maybe we'd get her as DLC eventually.

just imagine a variation with her hair, the flight and one that would involve her scream. the Fireballs should be in every variation :)

People are debating whether or not Shinnok and Rain are in. Almost no one is debating Sindel. She's down there with Stryker in terms of Mk9 characters people want to see back.

why is everyone so convinced she isnt playable? (im not saying she is im just wondering) she is in the story mode and has a new costume, even if its similar plenty of other characters have costumes similar to older ones.

There's one thread for each of them and one being debated here. What are you talking about ??? Stryker has a big fan following just as sindel
Does.

That's true, but Sindel's costume is just tweaked from MK9, while others are new but only inspired by previous designs.

whats the difference between tweaked from MK9 and inspired from MK9 (or previous games)? it also could be an alt, "Kitana" is in an alt while fighting with her and she has another alt that looks alot like her MK9 design. im not trying to be difficult but her costume being similar is not really a reason when half the returning cast has similar costumes

ya I'm sure if you dig deep enough you'll find some Hsu Hao fans too. Majority of the posts I've seen talking about which 5 characters Boon meant say basically every other character in the trailer with almost none of them thinking Sindel is one of the 5.

I love Sindel, but like Stryker and some others, her odds of returning are slim at best. At least the revenants are getting some exposure/screen time though.


It's like Sindel and some others are forever relegated to reunion games for the most part.

The difference is one is inspired by a preceding design while using a new character model, and Sindel is still using her MK9 character model reskinned. But her costume isn't just similar, it's a copy of her MK9 default, tweaked from her base design. It's clear to me her MK9 attire was used directly as a base, and had stuff added to it to be slightly different. Strip away the few differences and it's her MK9 costume. Her character model is even identical. 'Dark Kitana,' while showing the same evil-looking aesthetic, is at least using her MKX in-game model, reskinned.


I'm not one for cynicism, but these are my honest thoughts on the matter. I just don't see the level of effort put into her as with Erron Black or Rain.

ok i understand what youre saying now but the only thing that doesnt look detailed in this screenshot is her hair everything else is as good as the rest of thecharacters, it doesnt look like the same model from MK9 imo as for the costume yes they are very similar but i dont think you understand you can say that about plenty of other character skins in the game, lets take Ermac for example his costume is almost exactly like his MK9 alt minus a mask with a few added details

Ermac's MKX look is similar to his MK9 alt, that's about it. There are nowhere near the same amount of similarities that MK9 and X Sindel share.

It's similar, but you can see it's actually a new design. Sindel's is just her MK9 outfit with a bit of new paint.

I don't know man, if you look at just her proportions, they're the same. Sure, she looks better, but I personally think it's her MK9 model, reskinned, and of course retextured for next-gen graphics.

This is all of course my opinion. I could be wrong.

Sindel is such a garbage character. I put her in lines with characters like Hotaru, Shijinko and a lot of those crappy 3d era mortal kombat characters. Glad she won't be in besides story mode.

We already know that Quan has Sindel's air fireball, so I'm guessing that the gold veins in a few of the characters in the story trailer are just people who are under Quan's control. It would be super cool if Quan could summon or morph into her mid-combo.

I don't understand all this Sindel hate, are people still salty over her massacring their faves?
Seriously though.....from an unbiased perspective, she's still pretty badass and just had strangers fuck her shit up (story wise). Also, in terms of variations AND story, she's still unbiasedly so much more interesting than a Hollywood star that knows how to use the gym for example and yet realistically would still would get his ass handed to him with a new hole by about 90% of the roster.

She's not your cliche, go to "feed my male ego of being a martial arts badass I could only hope to be while I show my bare arms" type of character. She was a Queen, a banshee, her fucking hair is epic (and I hate that word), and etc etc. Point is, she has substance, a LOT more than a lot of the cast and it's not being shown as it should.

They try so hard to stretch wood, but cmon, it's wood folks, you can only get so much before you NEED to add a whole bunch of extra shit to make a stale character exciting. The women in this game (previous costumes aside) were far from stale
