I know it's a pipedream, but I kind of hope it has an art style similar to MK9 but with current gen graphics. Probably not going to happen, though .
I would love that except Sonya's outfit, it was stupid as hell in MK9. Think SF6, they have a good balance imo. But alas, it's 2023. Women can't look sexy anymore, because you can't be sexy and strong (according to idiots). While men can still be shirtless and it's not considered sexy. Let's not forget 'battle appropriate clothing' for women, aka, a ton of totally not encumbering layers coupled with wedges and heals. Yeah, that probably works GREAT for martial arts fights.

:rolleyes:

Although I hate her default MK9 costume, I actually really like her MK9 alternate. I think the tank top and shorts combo with the hat and shades looks great.

The MK9 aesthetic haunts me still to this day. I personally do like the characters to be more "realistically" dressed for combat with a touch of stylism rather than absolutely not dressed for combat at all. I also appreciate the women being less sexualized. I see it as humanizing. To each their own though. And you CAN be sexy and strong but...you can tell when it's gratuitous and in poor taste (MK9 for me)

Man I can't stand leakers.

Just make up a bunch of educated guesses, claim you have "sources", and then throw in some generic disclaimers, and boom, you're leaker.
My thoughts exactly. Until I see an official announcement, I'm assuming everything else is fake as fuck.

Idk man, if you look at Skarlet and hear her talk and you don't think she's gorgeous/sexy, you might need a new pair of eyes.

Holy shit, yeah she did.
Eat that, Ronda! lmao

anyways

I like MKX's approach regarding to female costumes: shows some skin and yet keeps it stylish still.
Mk9 sonya, a police officer, fighting in black stilettos? ok...
MKX sonya, "retirement my ass" general? bring it on.
MK9 Mileena: demented crack naked bitch
MKX Mileena: Im a fucking rebel leader you d'vorah bitch

Sareena for MK11!
With the topic of sexualization, I think if they’re gonna do it, it has to be equal. The men were hot for no reason in MK11 while some of the women… Skarlet and Sindel were probably the only women I feel were the most sexualized out of the bunch we got in MK11. I’m not asking for MK9 level of sexiness, but I think MK11 is the right direction they should approach it. There needs to be a balance.

Why can't we have both styles of outfits? Like how SF6 does it? The main style being more appropriate and practical and then have the alternates be where they can flaunt it? Like Cassie out here in:

  1. The same armor as damn NPC characters
  2. A turtleneck space suit that makes zero sense and isn't practical to fight in
  3. A "workout" outfit with diaper butt and ugly ass socks
Bring back her outfits from MKX minus the weird trump hair, sorry but that shit was ugly even if the outfit was nice. lmao

This. Just give people the option to look however they want. Women in real life love to dress super sexy sometimes (according to a discussion with my girlfriend). There's nothing wrong with that. Why treat it like it's something to be ashamed of?

I think Mk11 did a good job of this with a few of the female characters. But they shouldn't be afraid to give fun sexy OPTIONAL costumes to all the girls in Mk12.

This. The 'don't objectify women' is such a silly argument when A) women objectify men as much as men objectify women, and B) many women LIKE revealing outfits.

Look at female cosplayers, look at what costumes female gamers like to pick in fighting games.

Heck, I had a nephew and his girl friend come over to play some MK11 and she was disappointed that the female costumes weren't nearly as sexy as the MK9 ones. First time I saw the girl - didn't know her, didn't know me. I didn't ask her, I didn't make any comments - she IMMEDIATELY commented herself as she was looking at skins and costumes.

There is NOTHING wrong with sex appeal and the fact that a very loud and vocal minority is trying to pretend otherwise is the biggest fad of the decade.

yep, you have a bunch of women spitting out : "I'm a strong independent woman, and you cannot treat me as an object', and next, you see these same weird persons publicing on TikTok and Instagram their videos with bikini and shaking their asses on those stupid short videos :p

So yeah, the current generation Z pseudo ultra radical feminists we have today is a huge fucking joke

Sex appeal is natural and should be treated as a normal behaviour, end of story

People that are afraid of this, is totally insecure and slave of what these stupid progressive asshole people that want to dictact what people and society should think , lol ! :D

MK 12 bending over to these stupid political points indeed could be bad sign , because the franchise always had amazing women as characters, and so, could be a waste not exploring their good looking and design, let's see what happens

Cassie had some of the worst costumes ever in MK11, they need to rectify that ASAP. Also, characters like Sonya should have actual toned muscles. She's a Special Forces kombatant!
