OK. Right now I'm pretty much shaking from glorious excitement:

THE GOOD:

* My, my...Sonya Blade, you look absolutely beautiful!
* The hair is gorgeous (+ the sexy bangs are still there!).
* The design of her vest is very cool and sexy.
* She truly looks fresh and redesigned. A big plus.
* I love the cool straps around her arms, belly, and pants. Very cool.
* Boots look sexy.
* SF Logo on her chest!

THE BAD:

* Those gloves are clearly not the amazing gloves she had in MKvsDC. What a disappointment. This was a step-back, imo.
* Her pants should had been spiced up with more interesting details/new additions. They need to look more futuristic, imo.
* I agree with everyone else who said that she could reaaally use an undershirt inside that vest. WTF is this "new thing" the team has with over-sexualizing all their MK woman?

OVERALL:

Sonya looks f*cking gorgeous and ready to kick some serious butt. I'm loving the look and the pose of this small render. Badass!

The design is very fresh, it keeps her new, and despite the lack of a shirt under the vest she still looks pretty modest and decent. I love the new vest, BUT, a shirt would had made the difference. It would make this design a 1000000x better.

WTF MK team? Her body is sexy and her boobs are big enough. We don't need an extra tease! It's really unfitting for Sonya's character and for what she represents. Anyway, I can't wait for a HQ reveal 'cause I really want to see the details.

Sonya Blade is back, and my God she looks awesome! Thank you so much you guys!! MK Team, WB, NRS: we love you! (btw, about time she was revealed).

EDIT: Just because I think these wonderful edits deserve to be in the first page. Hopefully the MK Team will take notice and listen to the fans:



It really fits + adds to her character to wear a shirt. It definitely gives her more coolness in her design.

This kind of sexiness is what Sonya Blade is all about. Subtle and more modest. Not overexposed and in-your-face like the current new look.

Where's the picture it's not showing up? Edit: Nevermind, saw it elsewhere. She looks ok, nothing extraordinare, IMO she looks like Nina from Tekken and less like Sonya. I'm sure a higher quality picture will give her more justice, but I guess she looks alright. Nothing screams special forces though lol.

Just for the record, Looks like that group was right about that being her on GTTV behind Hans. She looks amazing.

the design is good. BUT NOT FOR SPECIAL FORCES. why is her chest so open. SLUT!!!! and her belly button is showing. at least her and jax have on green pants to show common ground. and she's missing all of the military equipment, no gadget belt. im not digging all that green either.

There must not be that many woman with that much say so on the team.I mean I like that face but she's military why does she have to show so much skin.They say their going for character individuality but all the woman look like they walk the track at nights.Kitana is a princess she should wear royal armor or something,Mileena is understandable cause the sexy thing is all her.I'm not even hyped to see what the other females look like anymore.

Yay for the MK team being completely predictable and making ANOTHER woman on the roster look like a strip dancer and not a fighter. Thanks for yet another uncharacterful, inspireless, tasteless, and utterly uncreative female design.

Well, at least we can't complain she doesn't look feminine! HAHA. I agree she could use an undershirt, but it's not as if I'm gonna bitch as I pound people's faces in with her! We'll live. SHE LOOKS GORGEOUS! She also has a very...rogue/vigilante kind of look to her. She almost seems to be a mercenary now. Her costume is very simple and dark. I love that shade of green. But that lack of an undershirt still bugs me. I guess sex really sells, unfortunately. It would've been so much better as Queve stated with a white undershirt. DAMN! Is there a clearer version of the picture or is the one Big Syke posted the only one? (Thanks very much for that BTW Syke!)

I wish. The render pose really looks fantastic.

But yeah, her new design is fresh and very cool looking. That's definitely important. She doesn't look like a copy/paste model of a previous game, but, she still retains the main essentials from her classic designs.

But, the more I see her the more I want to call her mom so she makes Sonya wear a simple cute shirt to cover up a bit of that chest.

It's honestly not showing that much, but, it's definitely the most Sonya has ever shown (not counting her damaged model in MKvsDC, lol). I'm still not used to it and I still don't think it suits her.

Anyway, I kind of wish there were some SF/military gadgets around her pants like in MK4 (bombs, radios, a knife, technological thingys).

Other then those complains, I'm very happy with Sonya in MK9 (look-wise, gotta wait for some gameplay action!).

I do love the "rogue/vigilante" thing she's got going on in her look.

Personally, I thuoght she was really hot lookin' in MK versus DC even though I never played that one, but I did see the storymode movies. This look I can't argue with and think more girls should wear this in a fight. But I DO kinda like her look in MK versus DC just a tiny bit better.

And I totally agree about the belt/gadgets

The MK team destroys yet another cool female character. First Kitana and Mileena look like hookers, now Sonya doesn't even have that tough girl look anymore. She looks like a 20 something female blond at a Halloween party.

What a disappointment MK team , if you guys claim to be retelling MK, could you at least make your female look something a across between their old outfits with new designs, instead of showing way too much skin?

Not impressed -_- at all.

Actually, if you look at her right leg with the two straps you'll notice some kind of holster. It looks like a holster for a knife! I love those little details. We also can't really see what's going on on the top. I see little things but can't really make it out. Her boots if you look closely are laced up like American combat boots as well. I think we'll just have to wait for a clearer render to see, honestly. I think her outfit really screams warfare and such, but the fact that you get so much sideboob is kind of throwing people off (myself included.) She's very similar in regards to outfit setup to Jax, suggesting their very close personal relationship in this game maybe. Maybe they're so rugged and badass they can fight with their chest/tits all out. I'd be scared of somebody running at me barechested honestly.

Apparently, I'm not the only one noticing the Lara Croft-ish resemblance:





I hope her alternate features small shorts in similar fashion to those, with cool designs around her long legs. I think the short-pants look suits Sonya really well.

Although, I'm more eager to see an exaggerated futuristic approach in her style and theme.

OMFGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG THE SEXY,BADASS FIRST LADY OF MK!!!! MS. SONYA BLADE!!!!!! *RUNS AROUND & SCREAMS* Where do I begin? OMG her hair looks fucking sexy her body looks so damn sick in a good way!!! Her outfit is so fresh and new I'm digging the vest and the pants while I love the new look could do with some designs but hey this look is already a close fave already!!! I'm feeling this and now seeing the design I'm happy there's no headband what so ever!!!! The gloves I love the shortness of them compared to the ones in MK v.s. DC even tho I love those as well but GOD I'M IN FUCKING LOVE AWWWW!!!!! I'm also just noticing what appears to be some dog tags around her neck? Maybe something else? But omg I love it!!! And there's also some type of strap around her right leg perhaps some type of holster? Maybe a gun? A Knife? Or just another accessory?

Damn dude! Smoke a blunt and relax! haha Actually, I can't even lie I will be doing backflips when I see my boo Jade!

Yesssss!!! To be honest I don't think anything would calm me down right now and yes you know when you see Jade your going to flip out too lol!!!

Gee....I can't wait to see what Sindel WON'T be wearing.

I agree with you 100%

I think the MK Team needs to bring back John Tobias or hire new young talent.

Seems very much to me like a modernized update of her classic MK1 look. Yeah, it flashes some skin, but at least this time we don't appear to be seeing half of her thong. I like it!

She looks good, hopefully this means we get to see her in action.

If you know what I mean.






















(I'm talking about gameplay.)

I know one thing her X-ray move better be brutal.I don't know when I think of Sonya I see a chick who could make most dudes pee their pants .

Agreed.

She'll most likely crush someone with her tits and then slap them around the victims severed head...

In all seriousness, I love how gorgeous she looks, but, the more I look at her open vest the more pissed off I am at the fact that they didn't give her a shirt.

A simple shirt inside that sexy vest.

This look is just too revealing for Sonya's character. She doesn't look bad, she doesn't look like a slut (she's still mostly covered up, thank God), but a red shirt (or white, or silver, or green, or rainbow, I don't care) would make this design feel more like tough Sonya and less like sexy Sonya...which I prefer.

I don't understand why they are designing the female characters with less and less....it's not that cool, really. Sonya already looked sexy without part of her boobs being revealed.

Fuck!!!!!
She's beautiful. For the first time in my life, I'm interested in Sonya!

This costume is perfection to me. Sexy and functional (by MK standards).
And this week gameplay should be shown in Brazil if i'm correct
