Sonya's face

[xiskza]

I mean let's be honest, I hope they fix it before the launch. Yes she's supposed to be old, but old doesnt mean you have to hit every branch on the way there.

I mean its so bad that's its probably the most complained about issue right now

it's empowering

Representing real women lol

She's not ugly. Not like in MKvsDCU and MK9. I do miss that little strand of hair down her face though, as her face looks rather bare, if that makes sense.

She does seem to have a younger skin as well though.

Yes. There are old and new versions of characters look at Sub Zero

My issue is that in her old self, she looks like a guy. Maybe with a different hairstyle it wouldnt look as bad, but right now it looks terrible.
I agree, the younger self looks decent.

Absolutely love this. Also, so cool (PUNS!!!) to see Sub-Zero actually looking like a Chinese warrior assassin this time around.

Ah, classic TYM thread.

Call me an SJW if you want but having a pale white Sub-Zero just seemed mad disrespectful. His name is Kuai Liang for crying out loud. He might as well have been named Gregory in MKX.

I actually really ducking love how both his skin tone and clothing read as Chinese and not 'generic ninja but blue version'. His hat is dope, I didn't like it at first but now I can't get over it.

Can't wait to see how Jade turns out.

Before and after he cut McDonalds from his diet

 

[Evil Canadian]

I think they sexualized Barakas face too much

I mean, I'd lick it.

She looks like a 50 year old woman who’s seen some shit to me.

[StormGoddess]

a man???
mmmm, yeah..
anyway Sonya looks fine
, she's a 40+ year old mom without makeup and in battle clothes
also i think NRS tried to make her look like a +40 year old Rhonda would look like.

 

[Pterodactyl]

^ she looks a lot better if you look at more than literally the worst possible screen cap available huh?

iirc sub-zero is mixed white-Chinese, his dad(?) was an American. Honestly thought he looked fine in MKX

Ain't nothing 'mixed' about sub in X.

 

[ImperatrixSindel]

She looks fine. She just also intentionally looks like Ronda Rousey, a real woman with a strong jaw. It's absurd to me that people want women in video games to look only like hyperfeminine cartoons.

SFV gave Kolin, a Russian woman, a strong Slavic nose and a million dudes were like SHE'S HIDEOUS. Are there any real human women these men find attractive??

He’s(they) actually aren’t.

Their dad was a Cryomancer from Outworld and their mom was a Chinese-American.

depends on what native outworlders/his dad looked like then, doesn't it

 

[FoughtDragon01]

i mean... isn't she pushing 50? still looks pretty good to me

 

[ImperatrixSindel]

Generally, they look Chinese -- hence Li Mei, Bo' Rai Cho, etc.

 

[Bucketfeet]

My first reaction was WTF as well, but now it's grown on me and she looks like a BAD ASS with many hard fights fought throughout her life.
