Really? There's a half dragon half human its basically a huge dude with four arms, a human that can somehow create a fireball out of thin air to send flying at his opponent (who doesn't even catch fire if it hits), another guy with a lethal laser weapon implanted instead of an eye, a god of thunder that watches over earth, humans that can turn to smoke or freeze things or a girl from another realm that has an endless supply of razor fans to throw, all that and more; but what breaks it for you is a girl with big boobs with her thong showing AND is able to kick ass?
Ideally Sonya will collapse Cage's skull.And unless one of them ends up dead, it'll be that kind of story that repeats itself IMO
The entire point of "badass normal" character in such a setting is to be presented as plausible, but still capable of kicking arses. Since Sonya is given down-to-earth background, can as well stick to it.
Nothing about MK is plausible, and its even more implausible that a "normal" person would survive 10 seconds against supernatural opponents. In MK9 Sonya's specials are not plausible nor are her fatalities, and I doubt they will be in MKX either. But for some reason just appearances should be believable? It just seems really silly to even talk about believability in video games.
All i know is that this vision has become real, and it makes more sense that characters that survived MK9 and stopped the netherrealm war to be playable, so hurray for Sonya and her daughter cage. "Sakonnnn that!" as Cassie would say.
I'm pleased, now i get to use this pic properly.
Yet degrees of WSD required vary.
Which they do, handwaved by something about being chosen as realm champions.
Yup. I also think that its animations is a bit overblown. I mean, was that jumping really necessary? Then again, Sonya is known for her disregard of gravity and inertia, plus if she has Ex-parry that launches, it makes it easier to create alternative animation for it - just make sure she lands faster.
Oh my god, I would be beyond hype if her upwards bicycle kicks returned, I was so bummed they got rid of it in MK9 (but at least they referenced it in her x-ray).
I completely agree, I couldn't get myself to play the MK9 females even if I tried while I want to play all of them just as much as everybody else this time around.
Sorry, I don't know that acronym.
Ya, I don't buy that. She is supposed to be real world military yet she can lift someone up between her thighs and rip them in half by moving her legs in opposite directions (cleanly across the abdomen no less, quite the feat of physics there alone), but she can't fight in 4" heels? Why not? She's Earth-realm's chosen warrior, can survive all the nonsense I mentioned before, but her heels and outfit would not be possible to fight in?
Willing suspension of disbelief.
It's not about what's possible and what's not in the setting. As I've said, if character is said to be something that doesn't exist IRL, you can only take that for granted, there's no contradiction with anything, you can buy it. If character is said to be something existing IRL that you know what it is, and this character clearly isn't that as far as you can see - that's where character starts to break. But ofc it's not terminal and there's no black and while. Fantasy settings thrive on escape from reality, I'm just saying why I like new design more.
That very pregnant pic of her is on my fridge, next to my kids report cards
Bionic legs, cause she got promoted to Major, like Jax.
