Heh, I love when people say that people steal things from other characters when it's clearly the developers who gave them the moves first. It's not stealing, it's lending recurring moves to different characters to spice them up a bit.

Of course though, that's exactly what I was thinking when I saw that red picture of Sonya.

Well I would dig black/green style aswel, I was only referring red so you knew I was talking about that big picture of her.

That little TINY detail of her wearing something more over her boobies is just needed for my tastes.

It adds little in design yet so much in perfection of her model.

So the red can be replaced by any sense-making color, but I wouldn't mind red, Kira and Scarlet can get their suitcases and Sareena has to find another color, something dark red or blackish :P

It's such a bad idea to radically change a character's color scheme, in a series where color coding is a major design element, if they've had the same one consistently in every single appearance for years, unless there's a story reason for it.

Imagine if one day, Superman just showed up in green and purple tights, and never said a word to anyone about it, just pretended those were his normal clothes.

Point is, Sonya's color is green. Red doesn't look right on her. It didn't in MK4 either, I still don't understand why they would use a player 2 palette in a character's ending and marketing stuff. It's not like a real alt costume, the only reason those alt colors are even supposed to be in the game is so if two people pick the same character, you can tell them apart.

Lol... misread that as Sonya rocked up to work in green and purple... and I'm like... well she's rocked up in green tights before. Green + purple doesn't seem too much of a stretch.

I see what you're saying, but like I said, I thought the red in MK4 was actually pretty spectacular. Shouldn't be her primary no, but I'd like to see more of it.

I much prefer the "alternate colouring" to actually be quite different to what it is normally, like Sonya's has always been. Green to blue in MK3/MKT (if I recall correctly), from black/that greenygrey in MK4 to red, the green jacket to white with a pink shirt in DA, white to gothic in VS DC. Looked nice and different and an actual change to her...

As opposed to say, Kitana's alternate colour in DC... which was the slightest shade different blue...

At any rate. Looking at this image of Sonya has kinda grown on me. Though, I hope we see more of a Military-esque look applied to her Alternate. Now bring on Stryker! grin

I completely agree with Garlador
I think many members on this site have to seriously re-evaluate their use of words such as slut and whore etc. when applying them to the costume designs of these women.

If users here need to use a word to describe their costumes, it should be skanky. As I mentioned this on a different Sonya thread, users here tend to forget that a whore is a "person who engages sexual acts for money."

Last time I checked, Sonya never did such thing.

Skanky should be the word if not, a more suitable word that makes more sense.

It just keeps getting worse. Heels, seriously? Why can't female characters in this series not wear anything but heels? All 3 of them we've seen have been so far. Real original.

Raiden gets the message becomes a pimp and makes mileena kitana and sonya his whore do to his bidding. That seems to be the story at the moment. This is getting insane and making me angry.


I have officially heard the words "slut" and "whore" used to describe EVERY SINGLE FEMALE in this game.

For the love of God, people... this is a game all about excess. Excess violence, excess macho manly men, excess sexy hot women, excess fantasy... it's from an era of dark fantasy and action that spurred men like Boris Vallejo and Frank Frazetta to define and and inspire an entire era of fantasy.


Big, tough men, hot strong women, ugly, horrific monsters, glorified gore and violence, over-the-top excess everywhere.... this is the MK I LOVE and I'm baffled so many people want it to "mature" into something it has never been. They ask for more and more violence, but when a girl shows a bit more skin they start throwing out the "slut", "whore", and "skank" comments. This is fantasy, with ninjas that wear bright blue and yellow, people turn into dragons and animals, guys fight with hats, flies, and vomit, and girls can fight amazingly well braless and in high heels.

And not only am I FINE with that, I LIKE it. It's what attracted me to MK in the first place.

Every single girl fought in high heels in Mortal Kombat: Armageddon, with the exception of Sheeva and Ashrah. Nitara, Sonya, Kitana, Frost, Kira, Khameleon, Sareena, Jade, Sindel, and Li Mei... they all wore high heels in at least one of their costumes. Why is this time such a big deal?


Testify!

But seriously. this is one of the very few times I've seen someone speak so much truth in this thread, especially with such reason and tact. You've become my favourite person on MKO! grin

Well, if we're arguing semantics, "skank" means "ugly, unattractive woman"... I'm not sure that applies to Sonya since most people agree she looks rather beautiful in this new game, if a tad under dressed.

Yeah, but... 90% of the above mentioned characters aren't in the military, or even from earth for that matter.

Granted, the heels don't bother me so much as lack of green, but I don't think the group comparison is fair.
I do agree with Garlador that the over-the-top sex appeal is ultimately okay, but it's got to be channeled right.

Let me try to answer the question... it's Sonya Blade. Heels do not fit her properly. Despite that I chose to play as her with her alternate costume in Deadly Alliance, I was stunned with the fact that they gave her heels. I don't quite understand how she's supposed to look like a soldier yet she's given boots.

Honestly, if women in the military really got away with wearing three-inch heels for their attire, they'd get sprained ankles or having the possibility of breaking their foot.

Honestly, Sonya doesn't look really good with this costume, I just don't like the look of it. It would have been fine if there was at least a bit less skin showing and no heels.

But the heels seriously makes this costume look even more ridiculous because it's a total upgrade from her last two appearances, but the heels just do not make sense for her character. She's not supposed to be pretty, she's supposed to be showing this tough girl attitude.

As straight as I am, Sonya never looked attractive, even in MK3, to me. She was one of the plainest characters I saw in the game, which was what I liked about her. But now they're trashing her looks and giving her a prettier look, no, she's a damn soldier, let her look tomboy-ish. Leave the sexiness to the other female characters like Mileena.

Sorry, if you don't think Kerri Hoskins is 9 degrees hotter than the surface of the molten sun, I don't know if you'll ever be satisfied with how she looks.

Sonya rockin' three inch heel stilletos? Nah give her some combat boots like MK v.s. DC, that would be perfect. I'm feeling her whole new look, they got everything perfect aside from that, hats off to the MK team.

The more I look at that church pic I see an undershirt.

EDIT: Nevermind, I just looked at the HD pic and see that she has some black straps on her arms that combined with the lighting, make it look like a rolled up sleeve.
