Anti-sexy arguments are so stale. I mean they're are even woman who prefer the sexy outfits. I'm gay and I like them. That doesn't mean I'll die if they aren't there though. I was side eyeing a few members trying SO hard to justify there need for sexy outfits with "All I want is to masterbate to female videogame characters, is that so bad?" like bruh, that's kinda the point of desexualized characters.Bonerculture is such a fucking meme, no one takes those blowhards seriously.

So, more of a Nitara vibe?Let me be honest, if she doesn't have THE BOOBIES ima be really disappointed. But I really can't wait to see her outfits, I hope they go for a vampire vibe.
Fun fact: MK9 Sindel VA is also the same one who does Ivy Valentine. Also Kelly Hu does Sindel in MKX. Dvorahs actress.Really? I hate it, but to each his own, ai guess. I do like that we get evil Sindel though. Good Sindel is boring.
I doubt it will happen, but I wish her MK9 actress is back. She was perfect. Not a fan of the MKX one.
Since MK11 is a lot more weapon based I wonder if she gets Kwan Dao back.
Or she could make weapons out of her hair, similar to Skarlet's blood weapons.
Sindel VA is also the same one who does Ivy Valentine.
just give her a whip
I mean... She wields a whip, it's called her hair lolBased on the dialogues just give her a whip and I'll be happy
No more like Mileenas costumes in mkx!So, more of a Nitara vibe?
I was really upset about the retcon at first, but I kind of get it. She had a lot of plot overlap with Kitana before, and making her more of a Cersei Lannister power-at-all-costs type will make her stand out.I'm so happy the MK3 roster is on its way to completion.
Sindel and Nightwolf definitely deserve it <3. Kind of surprised they totally undid her backstory and made her a traitor though.
What I would really like to be back is her levi-cancel pressure from MK9, that was fun and gave her a fun layer of additional execution that I loved. I hope the order is right and she's no later than the third character to drop.
She was played heavily as a zoning character since her normals were slow and easy to punish.How did mk9 sindel play? Slight chance they just re-hash mk9 sindel with a few upgrades ala noob
Funny enough before I went to sleep last night, I was thinking about Kitana's and Shao Kahn's comments in regards to Sindel in the story and elsewhere and why Shao Kahn kept Kitana.I was really upset about the retcon at first, but I kind of get it. She had a lot of plot overlap with Kitana before, and making her more of a Cersei Lannister power-at-all-costs type will make her stand out.
That said, I wouldn't mind if it turned out she was brainwashed again lol
It won't ever fit because in this timeline Sindel sacrificed herself just to stop Shao Kahn from conquering Earthrealm. If she did what had to be done for her daughter she wouldn't do such a blatant show of defiance.I'm going to rationalize that this heel turn is because she did what was necessary to protect Kitana. Shao Kahn coveted Sindel very much and that's why he was willing to keep her heir alive to keep her pleased. Power can be apart of that too, but I feel like resisting Shao Kahn when they were going to fall would have lead him to kill Kitana too, leaving her with nothing.
Not another Zoner, I play Cetrion for that. So far Sonya, Jacqui and maybe Cassie are the only female rushdowns. The rest are zoner/keep away types. I don't want Sindel to be like Cetrion, I want her to move like Black Canary whilst having Zoning options.She was played heavily as a zoning character since her normals were slow and easy to punish.
Yeah, her retcon seems more like a safe buisness move.Ok, ok, because you all asked (no one asked) here's my theory, and it IS just a theory , so no-one go spreading it as fact...
We're in agreement that, apart from the violence, MK is opening itself up liberally (Jax Ending, Women's outfits, Kung Jin's sexuality) and trying not to ruffle feathers with its content, yes?
So... the retconned lore starts normally, SIndel and Jerrod, rulers of Edenia, Kahn invades and takes over, but NOW, Sindel willingly betrays Edenia to hook up with Kahn and stay where the money is...
So, here's my thinking. In an era where video games are put under the microscope (rightfully, I might add) whenever any heavy topics are tackled, I think NRS are removing the suicide/forced marriage angle. I think this retcon has happened to remove the implentation of a woman, not only unwillingly forced to become a wife, (and who knows what else) against her will, but also from her committing suicide, and even - at a stretch - abandoning her daughter.
I'm not raging here, or being OMG SJW, or anything like that. This is just my theory. In the modern day, if you talk about something like suicide or a man essentially forcing a woman to be his wife, as a storyline, you might get put under the microscope for it (again, I believe we SHOULD do this and ask questions when games tackle those subjects) So I think maybe NRS are turning away from the more controversial aspects of SIndel's backstory. Its easier to have zero risk of backlash, even if people wouldnt have noticed anyway.
This way, no suicide, and Sindel isn't taken as a forced bride, she's made her own choices, albeit heel ones.
Finally, AGAIN, all theory, and presented as such. And I ain't even mad about this, I'm just offering my thoughts, so don't lose it if you disagree. No arguments.
I'm just happy she's in the game. Real happy.
ApparentlyIt won't ever fit because in this timeline Sindel sacrificed herself just to stop Shao Kahn from conquering Earthrealm. If she did what had to be done for her daughter she wouldn't do such a blatant show of defiance.
I think she'll just be her brainwashed MK9 self. OR a revenant.
Flat girls are just fine. Half the girls in 11 are stacked anyway. 'Backstory' is much more important.Let me be honest, if she doesn't have THE BOOBIES ima be really disappointed.
Since when does that make me anti-sexy? Lol all I said was that they are a loud obnoxious bunch who make a ton of noise about nothing important.Anti-sexy arguments are so stale. I mean they're are even woman who prefer the sexy outfits. I'm gay and I like them. That doesn't mean I'll die if they aren't there though. I was side eyeing a few members trying SO hard to justify there need for sexy outfits with "All I want is to masterbate to female videogame characters, is that so bad?" like bruh, that's kinda the point of desexualized characters.
