So Sonya Blade is confirmed for this game.
I really am happy about this.

Thus far we have seen her use her energy rings. Her leg grab.
An X-Ray where she breaks a back after she flips over the opponent and a jawbreaker.

What kind of special moves do you all hope she also has ?

I am hoping that they return her upwards bicycle kick and her kartwheel must be in.

And what kind of variations and fatalitys are you people hoping on ?
It seems to me that she is uses her legs a lot. But i really cant think of an variation.

As for fatality. I am hoping for her fire Kiss of death. Or her purple orb Kiss of death.

Although it Would be cool she had an animality like a panther ( like her codename in special Forces ) or an eagle like she did in mk trilogy.

Cant wait to hear / read what you all think and hope for.

There is still no official confirmation!...... Haha just messing with you man. Congratz, Happy for you. She looks good, I like her counter move that we saw against Scorpion. I'm guessing that'll be a variation for her that is similar to Kano's Commando variation.

Her XRay seems cool as well, I didn't like her MK9 XRay that much but in MKX it seems to be pretty cool, At least from what we saw. I like the angle of the XRay.

And fingers crossed for Kiss of Death. Dunno why they ever took that out. :).

Yeah you were right lol.
I have learned not to have high hopes even tough there was a lot of evidence she Would be in. Maybe my tweeting Ed helped lol.

I agree about the mk9 x-ray. It looked off and did not do a lot of damage.
But i liked the bicycle kick lol.

Yeah that was Bs that they never used that again. Last time i saw it was in mk vs DC. Mk deadly alliance Kiss of death was ugly as hell.

But i am hoping for you sektor or another cyborg of you is in to.
Pretty weird we wont have any cyborgs.

I actually liked all kisses of death, MKDA kiss of death was really different and sure was perfect but the whole idea was still cool.

As for the bicycle kick in the MK9 XRay, Yeah I agree, It was a pretty nice touch since she didn't have her upwards bicycle kick from MKT, it was at least of them to put it in her XRay.

I also agree that it feels weird not having any Cyborgs at all, I remember Ed boon saying a while back to someone who stated that MKX is lacking Cyborgs to wait and see. Or something similar to that, but at this point it seems there won't be any Cyborgs. I still hold hope for a Cyborg DLC pack though. Sektor and Cyrax best buddies :p.

As for Sonya, She was my 2nd Main in MK9. Looking forward to see how she plays in MKX. Hopefully she still has the Kart-wheel and it's still armoured on EX. :).

I'm soooooo pleased right now! The trailer was perfect. Love that her and Johnny have a difficult but (seemingly) loving relationship. I would love her to have a grappling variation where she performs lots of acrobatic throws and hurrucaranas *spelling*.
I would really like to see a variation of a kiss fatality from her. It's was her trademark fatality after all.

What is it with some people on this forum and their incessant need to talk trash about characters other people like/are excited for? If you aren't into Sonya, fine but these kinds of posts are annoying and childish.

It is perfect. They would annoy the shit out of each other but at the end of the day, they found someone they can rely on. The thing that surprised me the most is that they actually got married.

I believe we saw her grabler variation, i think she will also have a variation based on her kisses and another that boosts her speed. As for fatalities, i would like to see both MK3 fatalities return, those two were her best ones. For especial moves I want the arc kick and air leg grab back.

Well people should be allowed to speculate, some of the claims were not that bad or illogical.

This is a big victory for Sonya fans because things were looking grim for her and Johnny with Cassie's introduction and all of the attention given to her. You guys are lucky.

I'm still high as hell off that reveal grin


I made a post some time ago, a wish-list of sorts for Sonya's variations. I guess there's not much harm is re-posting it here for shits and giggles, and also to boast about how I may have guessed one of her Variations (although I could never have guessed the awesome inclusion of the choking-wire... shit, someone in the other thread told me the name of the thing and I forgot...)

Also, it looks like, in this timeline, Sonya's rings come from the Sci-Fi-ish laser mount on her gauntlet, and is no longer a Chi-based attack; my first idea for her variation could still work, though, using the mount.


=================================

1. Chi-Based: A variation that stresses her Chi abilities; namely the pink mist, although I wish/hope they attribute it more of a purple color, both to differentiate her from Mileena's "glow", and also because I don't like pink... Erm.

Anyway, this variation would give her the Stun Kiss from the previous iterations, albeit more powerful than before. You'd be able to combo into it like in MK:DC, for one, and it would activate quicker than in MK9, where it served mostly as a bait move, when it served at all. It also would need a new animation, something cooler than just blowing the mist from her hand; maybe grab the opponent by the throat and fucking spit the mist in their face or something haha. I don't want it to look too girly, it doesn't suit her.

Also some kind of defensive Chi-based attack, maybe a Centralized Blast of sorts to put distance between her and offensive opponents (like letting off an energy-grenade in her immediate vicinity).

Finally, they could add the purple Chi to her fists, to slightly enhance damage output.

So this would be her defensive variation.



2. Gadgets: A half-defensive, half-offensive variation that grants her an arsenal of Sci-Fi-ish weaponry. Cool shit, not just Stryker's grenades or a pistol like Cassie's. I'm talking real high-tech, secret Special Forces shit, like you'd see in a Sci-Fi action movie.

I think most of the unique attacks of this variation could come from a more "techy" version of her gauntlet: high-powered projectiles with variable directions and speed, timed explosives for mix-ups and baiting, maybe a temporary shield of sorts to reduce damage intake.

She'd also have something akin to a Grappling Hook, to give her player some choices of where to be in the arena strategically, without having to rely on arena interactables. She could grapple off-screen away from the opponent, to the middle of the arena, or all the way to the other side. This would keep the opponent on their toes, having to trap her in order to hit her, and having to guess where she's gonna be next. This would also allow each one of her players to have their own unique approach and play-style when choosing this variation.



3. Brawler: I really hope they implement something like this for Sonya. I fucking loved Military Stance in MK9, it made playing as her so much fucking fun. The mix-up opportunities alone! Plus, a lot of the attacks therein looked really cool, especially the throw and the double snap-kicks with 4.

A Brawler variation would build on this to make Sonya a close-quarters offensive nightmare. I especially want her to have Reversals/Parries, cuz I fucking love characters with hard-to-pull off, high-reward parries, like Nina in Tekken and Joker in Injustice (my favorites of each respective game). I see Kano has this and Kitana somewhat has this, but there are plenty of ways to make Sonya's unique enough that you wouldn't even consider them the same.

High, Mid, and low Reversals, high-risk/high-reward. Pulling it off rewards her player with a somewhat low-damage reversal attack and big chance for mix-ups, requiring good timing and intelligence to reap the most benefit from the commands. Fucking awesome!! This variation would also add her Military Stance from MK9, even if a perhaps toned-down version with just the throw and some acrobatic high/low/mid kicks.

Additionally, one would be able to Meter-Boost her reversals. Meter-Boosting Reversals allow Sonya to not only attack the grappled limb of the opponent, but actually snap the respective bone of the limb, dazing the opponent and allowing her a short period to follow with a combo (think a much shorter-lived version of Scorpion's spear or Sub's Ice Projectile). They could even add a really quick X-Ray animation to the broken bone (without all the zooming-in and the showmanship), to make it even cooler-looking!

Oh my sweet baby Jesus, if she had a variation just like this, I would fucking freak, probably go on a murder rampage cuz I just can't keep the hype tucked away in my body...



Normal specials (executable in every variation) would be Energy Rings, Leg Grab, and Arc Kick.



Fatality Ideas!

1. Beatdown: Sonya grabs the back of her victim's throat with her left hand, and delivers a disgustingly brutal punch to the face (they'd add a really gruesome sound effect and camera angle/zoom on impact). Her victim falls, bleeding from the nose and mouth, and the camera zooms into their face; she proceeds to kneel over them and deliver another punch, then another, then another... Sonya essentially doesn't stop, adding to the damage of the face, which you can plainly see up-close. Eventually the victim's face would be morbidly fucked up (bones sticking out, eye popping out of its socket, caved-in), right in YOUR face, so you can behold all the glory.



2. Kiss of Death: Sonya lightly touches her hands to the sides of her victim's face, and leans in for a kiss. Just before her lips touch theirs, she exhales a cloud of the Chi mist into their mouth.

The victim falls on their back, and starts having a seizure, contorting, groaning, and finally screaming out in pain. Pinkish/purplish veins throb out from within flesh; Blood starts rushing out of their eyes, nose, and mouth, a mixture of blackened red and deep pink. Gashes open up all over their skin, releasing the pink poison and blood in a gaseous mixture. The screaming eventually stops and they expire, their face frozen in horror, their body unnervingly contorted on the floor.

=================================




Man, I really hope her Fatalities are on point this time. One of my very few gripes regarding her in MK9.
Hey It's MK9 Sonya but not as stupid looking, good show NRS!

From The Gameplay trailer she seems to have a reversal move. Which I find to be especially hilarious to see come back because the way she does it is VERY similar to reversals in MK: DA.

After thinking a little, here are the variations I think Sonya should have:

Her universal moves would be: Leg Grab, Ring Blast ,Deadly Kiss and the Kartwheel (the EX version would be armored)

Variation 1, Lieteunant: This variation would play nearly the same has MK9, she would have the bicycle kick back along with the air bicycle kick from MK vs DC, other returning moves would be: the Arc Kick and Air Drop

Variation 2, Colonel: This one would focus on her kisses, I can think of a fire kiss that goes through the ground and when touches the oponent it burns him, the other would become an orb that floats around her and protects from projectiles and if the oponent tries to get close, it would explode.

Variation 3, Commander: This one would focus on grables, besides the parry that we saw in the trailer there would also be the Air Leg Grab, along with a new version of the Square Wave Punch in which instead of the punch there would be a grab.

For fatalities she should have the Fire Kiss back.
