Her age affects her fighting ability...

I never saw a 50 something year old woman who can fight.

"Ohhh look he is a sexist because he doesn't think a 50 year old woman can fight" - Sonya Fans and probably also 5 year old fanatics.

This is like the Kira situation back in MKD.

They didn't put Kano and Sonya, because Kira was basically Kano and Sonya combined.

Sonya's spot could go to a much more unique character like Kabal or Smoke.


I'm not calling you a sexist. I'm just somewhat stunned that age is what's being debated here. I don't disagree that Sonya should be dropped in favor of other characters but her age is a silly reason to me.


I didn't say you called me a sexist, I was referring to Sonya's fanatic who called me a sexist.

And you might be right, Age should be the reason she remains out.

But with very few spots left, I don't want to see them filled with old faces. At least I hope they are filled with unique characters that were in past games.

Kabal is the only character in the mortal kombat universe with Super human speed (Reptile could be counted with his Nimble variation but still Kabal is cooler)

So why should Jax or Sonya come back and Smoke or Kabal be left out.

So why is age an issue in MK, but games like DoA, Tekken, and Street Fighter can have aged characters?

Ok, I got you. Yeah I do agree. As much as I like Sonya I do feel that she along with Jax could take a break from this game. My main concern is that she might overshadow her daughter. It might be an unfounded fear but I have liked what I've seen from Cassie.

I never looked at it this way, but you are right.

It's actually not just a concern for Cassie but for a lot of the new comers.

Because if Takeda the son of Kenshi is going to be in the game and playable does that mean Kenshi should also sit this game out ? because he would overshadow Takeda for sure.

You make a really good point, and it's another reason for characters that have off-springs to sit this game out and let the Next generation of fighters have enough space to breath.

Kenshi is one of my favorite characters, just like Sonya and Johnny are.

But with Off-springs being introduced, they should take a break and let people give the new comers a chance.

There will always be a next MK game. Sonya and the other characters could return then.

If they are in the story only that would be perfect.

Bumping for relevance

Also if Liu is in fire god outfit he's not boot 3

and If the "cape/cloak" behind boot 2 is actually just a cliff in the background then i think Takeda is boot 2 still since it's so similiar to Scorpions

I have said it from the start, that it was like a hole in the ground, but people kept on saying it's a cape or trenchcoat.

In my opinion, Sonya was never appealing and Cassie is just as bad.

Jax is coming!

All boots have a heel, well most of them. Plus if it is a combat type boot, don't expect them to have a heel.

The people that play Sonya, like myself, don't care that she looks like your grandma. She's gonna be one badass grandma actually, and you're too late anyway, since Jax and Sonya were in the latest trailer. You are a sexist mess and don't play Sonya, so i don't know why you care about her look anyway.


sonya was 26 in MK1, she'd only be 51 in MKX, thats not no grandma age.

In the Comic she's only 41 at the moment.

That isn't grandma age. There ya go bud.

People say it's Erron Black more than anyone due to the cape looking thing near the boot which both hang near the same length in the picture and in the comic.

Plus, the leg and boot looks like a male.

Sonya looked good for 36 back in MKDA. That is also my favorite costume of hers.

Not sure if relevant.

-_- Jesus Christ... no matter how many times I see the same jumble of ignorant sentences in every thread I click, I'm still surprised. It's getting harder to scroll through to find the relevant posts.

Main points have been made: she's certainly not going to be wearing that cape as part of her costume; that also doesn't quite look like a cape behind the boot. I'd be thrilled if it was her, but given their choices of reveals so far, I'm thinking they're gonna keep her stashed away until closer to release. It's a distinct possibility that it is Erron Black's boot...

Have her boots been shown in the comic? I can't for the life of me remember... She seems to always be engulfed in ominous shadows lol.
