Sonya's face

[xenogorgeous]

she looks cute and beautiful when you see her close up in the customization options :

 

[Fallen_sektor]

it kinda make sense now

 

[Prince Alucard]

As others have said, she's within her 40s. So at that age she seems pretty normal to me from what I've seen.

Yeah and Kano is like late 40's early 50's which is why he has the sick dad mustache now

Wasn't Sonya at her late 20's in MK9? So she'd be closer to be around her fifties in MKX and MK11.

I guess it's not officially an upcoming MK launch until there's an obligatory "Sonya's Face" thread

Sonya was 23 in MK9, and 48 in MKX ... if MK 11 is 3 year post MKX, so , she is 51 in MK 11

Honestly MK9 will probably haunt them forever.

Now, no matter how good or average their faces get, people will still say they look like hideous abominations.

Thanks for the info! ^^

The MK9 ones weren't even that bad compared to MK vs DCU. They've improved every single game!

I cannot believe this is still a topic of discussion. It's a horse that's been beaten to death. Cassie's neck, Wonder Woman's face, Supergirl's face, etc. Guess what happened? They improved them come release. I don't think there's anything to be worried about.

Sonya looks like a woman.

End of story.

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.

I mean... he IS a cryomancer. They should keep his eyes looking icy at least.

But I agree, he looks better face wise than mkx.

 

[STB Sgt Reed]

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??

Strong jaw:

Doesn't look like shit.


Sonya does. Sorry.
The problem is definitely the basing it off of rousey.

I mean, I don't think Ronda Rousey is particularly beautiful, no. But people kept talking about 'NRS man jaw' or whatever and like... that's just Ronda Rousey's face.

 

[MadPropz101]

She looks like Peter Pan.

It was improved because of the negative feedback, not despite it.

I get it -- I complained directly to NRS staffers about Tanya's skin color until her model got revised, lol. But I think in this case the model is fine; it just looks like Ronda Rousey, and people want Sonya to be prettier than Ronda Rousey.

 

[NSR]

Am I the only one who thinks Sonya's face actually looks a little TOO good?
I'd argue the real issue is that she looks too young - she's supposed to be hitting her early 50s but it looks like she's barely 40.
(not that I mind it tbh)

That's like saying Cassie's giraffe neck was intentional or Supergirl's distorted face.

I really can't see someone intentionally doing that. But if what you said is the case, then that's that. At least they listened.

 

[LionHeart V1]

I prefer mkx subzero.

 

[Vslayer]

I don't feel like Sonya looks that bad, I kinda like her face. I think what they should fix are her eyes and her brow. They should fix Cassie before tho, I mean she looks like she desperately needs to speak to a manager.

 

[SaSSolino]

Sonya's face sucks ass, but they'll change her like they did in any other NRS game prior. Move along.

In general, games (like movies and television) are afraid to show older women actually looking old, because if the audience doesn't find them fuckable they're ~ugly.

Or you know, because it's a game and it's not meant to be realistic. Johnny Cage or Jax never look old either and I wouldn't want them too either. There's nothing wrong with characters being attractive, male or female.
