I am not a fan of the celebrity driven characters that NRS is going for in MK11. For me, that takes away from the experience. From a game about a martial arts tournament, fantastical characters with over the top, often supernatural moves, and blood and gore, this suddenly became a game about all of above plus Cari (forget his last name), Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Christopher Lambert, Ronda Rousey and whichever other celebrity they managed to enlist. Instead of the focus being on the characters it now becomes which celebrity's likeness and voice they are based on. Plus this makes it difficult to immerse myself in the experience and suspend my disbelief.
With the above being said, if we are going to have characters based on real people in MK11, those classic MK movie skins are great. For me, of course, the Raiden skin is awesome as Christopher Lambert did the original, and best, representation of Raiden on the big screen, Plus that humble beggar outfit looks darn good. Also, as many others said above, the Sonya skin makes her look and sound so much better, it's not even funny. Not i can finally enjoy playing as my favorite female MK character.
Just one question NRS, are we going to get a Talisa Soto Kitana (and Mileena) skin as well? That would be fantastic.
