Maybe because black matches with like... Everything?#6. Badass character designs.
Dark Empress Kitana is even better. It looks like royalty, the black overall with blue accents was an excellent idea. The fans still match this shade of blue, I don't know how, but they fit fantastically. The woven skirt in the back was PURE GENIUS!!! But the legs are the ultimate best part, the boots look fleek as fuck, but still match the outfit. Everything works in this costume, and it goes to show one can look sexy in tons of clothing, and that NRS can make costumes like this.
I agree....and I feel dirty agreeing with @KingKhrystopher#6. Badass character designs.
Mortal Kombat X has some of the best character designs in its history, maybe even in fighting games, and maybe even games in general. The costumes for the otherworldly characters feel untimely, yet futuristic, with a hint of past appearances. They're intricate, but not too intricate, and they look gorgeous when moving. The Default costumes all feel like a step above the MK9 Defaults, and they all embody the character entirely and beautifully.
Scorpion's design looks like a bit of everything he represents, the ninja/martial arts look, but the hood give it a darker feel, yet it all looks good for combat wear. However, it is still comparable to MK9 Scorpion, just more mature.
Same with Kitana, she gives me 9 lives with her wardrobe. Default shows her as a sort of renegade rebel. The metal add-ons are perfect, and the costume wouldn't look the same without them. They even took it a step further and made her fans compliment her look, the same emtal and colors of blue.

Liu Kang looks good for a different reason. He's not great for the intricacy, but for the simplicity. It's no over the top complicated armor, its a simple tunic with the dragon logo in leather. And he still seems like classic Liu Kang.
Anyone else agree?
jax punch sound good
No.._Maybe because black matches with like... Everything?
Black does match with everything
Um, no duh
I find this statement to be pretty wrong and just shows a general ignorance of fighting games in general. The only somewhat defensive example that was given is SFIV, but the post AE vortex tech and set play has largely nullified that.
The problem with the variation system is that it, more often than not, results in characters that are gimped to create variations. Or, even worse, characters that are taken out and transformed into variations for other characters (Jade/Mournful Kitana, heck the whole concept of Triborg)
No.
I've struggled to find a main in this game. I currently have practice in with reptile, shinnok, kotal, ferra tor and a few others to a lesser extent.
Even Liu Kang's victory animation is boss as fuck. He turns into a fucking 100 ft. dragon of fire and spits flames every where, turns back into his original form and itches his nose like its nothing.
To be fair I find there's more character variation overall in the Japanese scene than in the US - across all games. (SF4 might be different just from the sheer size of the playerbase, however)
Yup, I prefer to watch his victory animation to both of his fatalities.
I think anybody would agree with you considering both his fatalities suck
I actually like his second fatality simply because how over the top it is. And I really like how he shakes off the dust from his shoe after landing on the ground. Looks funny.
Some mid-round phrases are also golden.
