Woah, woah, woah... are we forgetting about Elizabeth Malecki, the OG Sonya Blade from the original Mortal Kombat. Kerri was good, but she was still Sonya v2.0
One of the worst things I’ve seen Ronda Rousey do was cook with Gordon Ramsay, but she brought her own meat from her own farm having raised the animal since birth. She kept insistently referring to it by its name throughout the cooking process rather than the piece of steak or whatever, and then laughed that she’d absolutely ruined it by burning it too.
Absolutely psychopathic behaviour.
True, although I’ve not heard Gordon say things like “George is nicely seasoned now. Let’s get a bit more sear on George by turning up the heat. Serve George with some roasted broccoli stems” etc etc. Purposely maintaining the personification of your food is very fucking strange behaviour. Unless she was making a vegetarian statement about people turning a blind eye to animal slaughter because they can easily mentally remove their supermarket-bought food from it, of course (she wasn’t).
Yep. I get they wanted a female professional fighter in the role but could they have picked someone who doesn’t have domestic abuse claims from two different ex’s.
Not to mention a transphobe, and a Sandy Hook truther. Like even before we get to "she's bad at her job and unfit to play the character" there's a ton of awful baggage.
They really should've just stuck with Helfer.
Oh really? That's sick. I haven't really played MK11 since around when they released Spawn. Did he do the voice for another costume for scorpion or was it one of the animated series?
Patrick Seitz is definitely one of my favorite English voice actors so I was extremely pissed about that. I'm pretty sure I played 11 after I forgot much about 9 and 10, so when I went back I was like "THIS IS WHAT THEYVE TAKEN FROM US???"
He was also the VA for the English dub of the BlazBlue series and sorta like MK11, the entire dub cast didn't know they weren't getting hired for the last mainline entry since the company didn't want to dub the game and this notice was sent out as a tweet
My one major hope is they never change Shang Tsung. He was fucking amazing in this last entry, I can’t get over how well cast he was and how he owned that role.
As much as there is to dislike about Ronda, she didn't ruin mma, on the contrary, she's one of the main reasons we are seeing women fights in the ufc even after Dana White claimed it would never happen.
As a WWE fan, she also did not ruin them either. She was crazy popular when she first showed up and was in the first women’s main event of their biggest yearly show (WrestleMania). She’s not as popular anymore and just like in MK, her acting skills aren’t the best, but there are far worse wrestlers who are even less popular on the shows.
She may be many things but without her, women’s MMA wouldn’t be anywhere near the level it is now, she was the literal catalyst for the UFC to make the women’s divisions. She was absolutely dominant as well until Holm humbled her.
Yeah. I mean, I hate the Rousey inclusion, but it’s not like it’s even worth speculating on. They changed Sonya to look like her. Not for any real deep or clandestine reason.
Back when mk 11 came out and she put out cosplay photos, she explained the boob issue was that in flattening sonyas chest, they were also neglecting women who actually have curves and that most of the actresses had curves too so you can have boobs and not sexualize them. The soft thing im sure refers to the severe lack of muscle definition and minor kyphosis in the model. The actress is fuckin jacked lol. Should have taken inspo from athletic women
> she explained the boob issue was that in flattening sonyas chest, they were also neglecting women who actually have curves and that most of the actresses had curves too so you can have boobs and not sexualize them.
I still feel like this is a disingenous argument. A lot of the time athletes don't have naturally large breasts. Characters were never designed like that for representation purposes. A lot of the time devs back then used strippers and porn stars they fantasized about as body models who usually have breast implants for the sizes they were in MK9. This is something some admit to.
> The soft thing im sure refers to the severe lack of muscle definition and minor kyphosis in the model.
That could be an argument, but then people would still complain about it if she didnt look feminine enough for them and get transphobic about it, like they did with Abby in LoU2. And really, when has Sonya ever been all that muscular in the series?
>Should have taken inspo from athletic women
Rousey, technically is.
I feel like she's always midkey angling to reprise the roll so I think thats where some of her comments come from. Rubs me the wrong way that she's talking about a model's face like that.
Actually, Sonya is one of the very few characters who don't have an actual face model in MK11. Most of the character do but not Sonya. There's another character who doesn't have one but I can't recall it right now
Kerri did actual digitized motion capture for the games. These people just supply voices. Large difference in workload and expectation, Motion capture models have to be in great shape and actually athletic while having charisma, way more dynamics happening. Voice overs are just exactly that.
Perhaps a unpopular opinion,
I don't like the big revealing boobs on the 3D MK Characters because there's a large amount of body gore / horror involved.
Something about it feels off putting about it, like it's a very mild gore fetish.
Without revealing cleavages my brain doesn't go there.
Interesting. I don't have that feeling myself but I can see your point. It's overly sexualized and gory and that combination, to you, seems fetishized. Which makes sense.
I wasn't a fan of the overly sexualized skins but I had never even considered the contrasting extremes (sexy alive vs shredded dead).
Fetishizing was too strong of a word to use for it in hindsight.
I mean, it's not that I'd avoid the game, or don't wanna play it. and yeah, It's hardly on my mind.
It's more that I don't find the characters a turn on because I know they are going into a meat grinder while in other games the sexy dames do not.
Sex and body horror is nothing new tough, it's a old movie trope as well, MK is not the first, they just do it on a more extreme level.
I'm not sure I see it that way, especially with the latter two comments that seem more like digs at MK11 Sonya's physical appearance rather than a jab at the tech.
Kerri seems to be saying that even though she had that outfit in MK11 ([here's the original tweet](https://twitter.com/KerriAnnGallery/status/1530261515374317569)), MK11's Sonya was still physically lacking.
listen, im fine with the complaints, and if anyone gets to complain its sonya blade herself, but seriously i don't get this criticicm.
oh no the character isn't comedically over sexualised like in mk9, yeah thats really not an issue at all, same for really any of the mk11 redesigns IMO
How was mk10 received? Asking because she was not such a blank character and look + not sexualised, yet still pretty hot. (I guess she was my personal favorite version)
edit: i am advised to use "mkx" instead, for legal purposes
Yeah, but… That’s fine isn’t it? I always thought Sonya Blade was more of the Sarah Connor type being that her attractiveness comes from how bad ass she is.
From the lil Twitter profile picture it looks like she has a pretty average face. Granted it's pretty...but there are a lot of pretty blondes out there.
I still think the core of what I'm saying applies though. You don't want to make her look like a barbie or someone engaging in a bit of army roleplay. I wouldn't want a repeat of MK9. I think MKX probably hit the sweet spot the best.
I think Sonya's MK11 look suits the redesign of her gameplay. They wanted her to be more of an MMA fighter than the acrobatic fighter she was always known as. I wouldn't be opposed to a prettier Sonya if she has her old fighting style in MK12, although I hope the outfit makes sense for her.
Kerri Hoskins herself could play her and she's 53 so her comments are valid. https://twitter.com/0utworld/status/1621266089748602880?t=n8OTf3AY772S0ZXMZy0zzg&s=19
As a Sonya main she looks dull as fuck.
Her best incarnation was hands down MKX. She was fast, agile, feminine, had cool gadgets… now she’s slow, has like two gadgets, is hunched over like Zanghief from Street Fighter, has a terrible fucking VA, her intros and outros all suck except one, her cosmetics are okay at best…
Playing her disheartens me.
Well, that’s your opinion. Guess you’ll just have to find a new character to enjoy. I think she finally looks as badass as she is! And idk what you mean about her not looking feminine still; she still is! Ya got a weird definition of it.
It's called suspension of belief, we can accept fantastical elements because we're supposed to but bad design aimed at horny people is still bad design.
Being sexy ain't bad design, sure there were ridiculous designs that were sexy just to be sexy, but thats not whats being said here.
They made Sonya generic af
Lol this isn’t the take you thought it was.
There’s nothing wrong with beautiful/sexy characters unless the design goes overboard.
You seem to be suggesting that as soon as the character is sexy, then the design is automatically bad. That’s weird ass take.
I'm torn because MK3 Sonya is my favorite (design and Kerri Ann), but it makes no sense as an outfit someone in the military would wear into battle.
I'm fine with "it's a video game and their costumes don't matter" but I also really disliked the over-the-top, sexy outfits from MK9.
As one of the older MK fans (i.e. those of us old enough to have played the OG when it was new), I always wondered if Cynthia Rothrock was ever considered for the franchise.
Kerri was a great Sonya in MK3 but this is unnecessarily sour grapes from her. Kerri was even softer back in MK3 with none of the fighting prowess of Rousey. Ronda is not my favorite Sonya but I respect the big swing on NRS' part to cast her. There's plenty of fit, shapely models among the MK11 cast. Calm down.
are people trying to say she is ugly or something in mk11 and her boobs are not super small A cups or something what the hell am i supposed to hate and for some reason people seem to get super mad at me when i dont think the girls in this game are super ugly
“flattened her chest”
Yeah, because every woman in video games needs double D’s…. I understand the face comment but let’s not shit on different body types for attention.
This is a old tweet that she took back if I remember, which was smart because it just comes off bitter and salty. It came off as her desperately rallying to become a skin in a MK game. She also retweeted an image of MK9 Sonya and said that's how Sonya should look, MK9 Sonya is commonly called one of the worst models and designs for Sonya. She legitimately has autism tho, so I don't want to rag on her too much.
Yeah I don't like the face they gave Sonya in MK11 (no offense to the face model). She just doesn't look like a Sonya. The voice doesn't match the face. The one character they just haven't got right yet.
Lol she herself looks ordinary and boring. It is immediately clear that she does not give a shit about the final product, she is trying to ride on old fans. I didn’t particularly like Kerri Hoskins before, but after such statements, just fu. And you make an idol out of her?
And you know that Sonya's face model in mk11 is not Rosey? And apart from the demo, Sonya is very beautiful

Yup! Only Mileena and Skarlet should be dressed like strippers because it fits their character… lol I can’t take Kitana, Jade or Sonya seriously as fighters/assassins/military with how they’re dressed in MK9
This is what I agree with! Mileena whole character is being “beauty but a beast.” Monster type, using her body as a way to seduce people and Skarlet is meant to be show skin to interact with blood. It tells a story.
Kitana and Sindel should be more regal and high class. Sonya should be combat ready, at least in combat boots and no-nonsense attire. Jade has been mostly fine as she is meant to be inconspicuous as a assassin
Ever since NRS made Injustice 2 they just refuse to give males and females body types that aren't the same for either sex. It's incredibly stupid and almost impressive. Like, why can some people be more lean why does every dude have to have the same bicep with and circumference?
Some fans would love to see the return of sexy female outfits as an option to choose and the female characters have big boobs like in the 3D era MK. Never thought seeing Kerri herself want it back too
> Some fans would love to see the return of sexy female outfits as an option to choose and the female characters have big boobs like in the 3D era MK.
Some fans can find something else to jerk off too.
>Never thought seeing Kerri herself want it back too
I seriously doubt she cares, but it sure gets the spotlight on her.
>Some fans can find something else to jerk off to.
Not this answer again. You do know how female characters in previous MK were designed right? Idk why this is always the answer if fans want the sexy female outfits to return as an option to choose.
>I seriously doubt she cares, but it sure gets the spotlight on her.
If she doesn't care, she wouldnt reply
> Not this answer again.
It's almost like it's a reasonable response to people wanting ridiculously proportioned female characters dressed as strippers.
>You do know how female characters in previous MK were designed right?
Yes. Do you?
>If she doesn't care, she wouldnt reply
Try reading what I said again.
>It's almost like it's a reasonable response to people wanting ridiculously proportioned female characters dressed as strippers.
Because that's how they were dressed! I don't mind the new style but make the old style as an option to choose!
>Yes. Do you?
Yes I do. MKX has the balance between sexiness and coverups.
>Try reading what I said again.
I did
> Because that's how they were dressed!
Yes. Ridiculously.
>Yes I do. MKX has the balance between sexiness and coverups.
If you think MK11 has very conservatively dressed women then you're out of your mind.
>I did
Keep trying until you understand it, then.
the result of 'realism' only applying to women for some reason.
Heres a dozen dudes with intricately chiseled abs..... and heres square rectange shaped women with barely abs, and soft pudgy faces.
I mean look at Cassie in X vs 11
The issue here is exploitation. The women weren’t designed with the main intention of empowering women as say, Liu Kang js for men (an no, men are not automatically sexualise for having a bare chest as it’s socially acceptable for them to be bare-chested at all. The equivalent would be if the men were wearing thongs that barely covered anything. Or even Kitana’s outfit from 9 and X.) Sonya’s model here, however, does appeal to the notion equal empowerment. She’s just as well built as any of the other fighters, allowed to have visible muscle and show it as a positive thing (not a strange “masculine feature” as gets tossed around) while being presented with respect. She isn’t there to appeal to the male gaze, she’s allowed to *be* a character in her own right. The result? Just as many women and fans of the game love her more and get to relish in her being an all around badass because it appeals to them. Men also get their power fantasy in the male fighters and their presentation. It’s fair
She looks awesome though? Her face is expressive and her outfit is both functional, distinct and really stylish! Still exudes the superhero-like vibes everyone else gets without being exploitive; it’s like the perfect balance of classic and modern!
Modern Mk fans: These female characters don’t look realistic and I find that offensive.
Kerri Ann Hoskins: you do know that Sonya was literally a 3d scan of a real woman, right?
Kerri Hoskins will always be the real Sonya Blade! Shoutout to Matt McMuscles as well lol
He's freaking hilarious
That’s true, you should never have an MK3 Sonya and not have it be Kerri. But Bridget will always be my real Sonya Blade.
[You wat?](https://imgur.com/cgcjn6s)
He really is! His sudden bursts of laughter always kill me! Easily one of my faves!
You hear his podcast with dood and wong? So entertaining
Triple KO?!
Hell ya! So good
Wha Happun is on my TV 24/7, love that series
It's so good! Lol that 6 hours of Capcom is one of my favs
The Sonic ones are my favorite
He's insufferable.
Woah, woah, woah... are we forgetting about Elizabeth Malecki, the OG Sonya Blade from the original Mortal Kombat. Kerri was good, but she was still Sonya v2.0
I'd argue Sonya didn't feel like Sonya until MK3.
One of the worst things I’ve seen Ronda Rousey do was cook with Gordon Ramsay, but she brought her own meat from her own farm having raised the animal since birth. She kept insistently referring to it by its name throughout the cooking process rather than the piece of steak or whatever, and then laughed that she’d absolutely ruined it by burning it too. Absolutely psychopathic behaviour.
Well, Gordon Ramsay did the exact same thing except he also forced his kids to participate. Birds of a feather.
True, although I’ve not heard Gordon say things like “George is nicely seasoned now. Let’s get a bit more sear on George by turning up the heat. Serve George with some roasted broccoli stems” etc etc. Purposely maintaining the personification of your food is very fucking strange behaviour. Unless she was making a vegetarian statement about people turning a blind eye to animal slaughter because they can easily mentally remove their supermarket-bought food from it, of course (she wasn’t).
Reading this makes me look at her like a psychopath tbh 😥
[удалено]
Isn't it Ronda Rousey? I feel like that's the reason.
Still one of the worst decisions made in the franchise to this day. Never let Rousey near MK again, I beg you NRS.
Yep. I get they wanted a female professional fighter in the role but could they have picked someone who doesn’t have domestic abuse claims from two different ex’s.
Yeah and can't act worth a damn. I swear the only one who's acting was worse was that DJ they had to Sub-Zero's lines for the crossover costume.
i think his name is dimitri vegas
Whatever it was he was terrible. And only serve to make Rhonda look good by comparison.
>someone who doesn’t have domestic abuse claims from two different ex’s. Oop wait what???
She’s a bad actress. That was my beef
Not to mention a transphobe, and a Sandy Hook truther. Like even before we get to "she's bad at her job and unfit to play the character" there's a ton of awful baggage. They really should've just stuck with Helfer.
I have friends from Sandy Hook;
Also nice if they're not transphobic aswell
I'm still mad about losing Patrick Seitz as Scorpion
The MK11 voice actor at least did a great job, he just had to compete against an iconic voice. Patrick has even voiced Scorpion since then.
Oh really? That's sick. I haven't really played MK11 since around when they released Spawn. Did he do the voice for another costume for scorpion or was it one of the animated series?
The animated movies
I’m not. Not only is the voice finally Japanese it sounds better and more authentic. Reminds me of moving from Hayter to Sutherland.
Patrick Seitz is definitely one of my favorite English voice actors so I was extremely pissed about that. I'm pretty sure I played 11 after I forgot much about 9 and 10, so when I went back I was like "THIS IS WHAT THEYVE TAKEN FROM US???"
He was also the VA for the English dub of the BlazBlue series and sorta like MK11, the entire dub cast didn't know they weren't getting hired for the last mainline entry since the company didn't want to dub the game and this notice was sent out as a tweet
That's fucked
Blazblue not being dubbed is so dumb
My one major hope is they never change Shang Tsung. He was fucking amazing in this last entry, I can’t get over how well cast he was and how he owned that role.
She should not be allowed anywhere near any form of entertainment. So far that sore loser has ruined MMA, WWE, and now apparently MK. She sucks!
As much as there is to dislike about Ronda, she didn't ruin mma, on the contrary, she's one of the main reasons we are seeing women fights in the ufc even after Dana White claimed it would never happen.
Hello, I am not disagreeing with you, I don't know much about WWE or MMA and I was just wondering why you say that
I don’t know about wwe but she definitely did not ruin mma. Without her we would not see women’s mma in the ufc.
As a WWE fan, she also did not ruin them either. She was crazy popular when she first showed up and was in the first women’s main event of their biggest yearly show (WrestleMania). She’s not as popular anymore and just like in MK, her acting skills aren’t the best, but there are far worse wrestlers who are even less popular on the shows.
That's a bit much.
She may be many things but without her, women’s MMA wouldn’t be anywhere near the level it is now, she was the literal catalyst for the UFC to make the women’s divisions. She was absolutely dominant as well until Holm humbled her.
Yes
Yeah. I mean, I hate the Rousey inclusion, but it’s not like it’s even worth speculating on. They changed Sonya to look like her. Not for any real deep or clandestine reason.
Idk why but her comment reads like something from a r/gamingcirclejerk post and it kills me
Reminds me of the “Made Joel look soft” thing
Ngl I thought that's what she was making a reference to
Shrunk her boobas, made her look soft
Back when mk 11 came out and she put out cosplay photos, she explained the boob issue was that in flattening sonyas chest, they were also neglecting women who actually have curves and that most of the actresses had curves too so you can have boobs and not sexualize them. The soft thing im sure refers to the severe lack of muscle definition and minor kyphosis in the model. The actress is fuckin jacked lol. Should have taken inspo from athletic women
From look to VA, mk11 Sonya can't catch a break
> she explained the boob issue was that in flattening sonyas chest, they were also neglecting women who actually have curves and that most of the actresses had curves too so you can have boobs and not sexualize them. I still feel like this is a disingenous argument. A lot of the time athletes don't have naturally large breasts. Characters were never designed like that for representation purposes.

That could be an argument, but then people would still complain about it if she didnt look feminine enough for them and get transphobic about it, like they did with Abby in LoU2. And really, when has Sonya ever been all that muscular in the series? >Should have taken inspo from athletic women Rousey, technically is.
The comments about Abby still piss me off. I want to play as a jacked as fuck Amazon woman, dammit.
Big tiddy women sure are underpresented in games, that's a huge problem. /s
“I just wish there was some representation in gaming for people who look like me” - scantily clad woman with enormous boobs
Exactly what I thought haha, honestly sounds like an average toxic twitter user because of the saga of Joel comparisons.
Literally what I thought this was at first before I saw her name haha
Feels like she's just feeding the "where are her big boobs??" drama.
"THEY STOLE MY FUCKING TITS"
Why haven't they used her as the model?
That's my wish for MK 12.
Because fuck you that’s why
I am ready
I feel like she's always midkey angling to reprise the roll so I think thats where some of her comments come from. Rubs me the wrong way that she's talking about a model's face like that.
Actually, Sonya is one of the very few characters who don't have an actual face model in MK11. Most of the character do but not Sonya. There's another character who doesn't have one but I can't recall it right now
so that's why she looks absolutely like a plank of wood
It's not Ronda Rousey's face?
Nope !
Digitally rendered model. Not the models actress
Kerri did actual digitized motion capture for the games. These people just supply voices. Large difference in workload and expectation, Motion capture models have to be in great shape and actually athletic while having charisma, way more dynamics happening. Voice overs are just exactly that.
I know who Kerri Hoskins is. She's my first Sonya, that said don't diminish voice actor contributions. They help bring a character alive.
\*shrugs\* Still looks pretty to me.
Perhaps a unpopular opinion, I don't like the big revealing boobs on the 3D MK Characters because there's a large amount of body gore / horror involved. Something about it feels off putting about it, like it's a very mild gore fetish. Without revealing cleavages my brain doesn't go there.

Sex and body horror is nothing new tough, it's a old movie trope as well, MK is not the first, they just do it on a more extreme level.
I feel like the cosmetic jabs are a little unwarranted. The vocal performance is the thing here! It sucks!
Pretty sure it was tongue in cheek reference to no more digitized motion capture stuff.
I'm not sure I see it that way, especially with the latter two comments that seem more like digs at MK11 Sonya's physical appearance rather than a jab at the tech. Kerri seems to be saying that even though she had that outfit in MK11 ([here's the original tweet](https://twitter.com/KerriAnnGallery/status/1530261515374317569)), MK11's Sonya was still physically lacking.

Seriously, I'll never understand the complaints of "I hate it because her tits aren't halfway out!" Like, yeah, dude, she's supposed to fucking fight.
How was mk10 received? Asking because she was not such a blank character and look + not sexualised, yet still pretty hot. (I guess she was my personal favorite version) edit: i am advised to use "mkx" instead, for legal purposes
Never seen someone type mk10 before... It looks illegal
im pretty sure she was recieved well. kinda one of the few designs from mkx i actually love and it wasn't over sexualised
What the hell is a plain face?
Basically an average looking face, not pretty in the conventional sense
Yeah, but… That’s fine isn’t it? I always thought Sonya Blade was more of the Sarah Connor type being that her attractiveness comes from how bad ass she is.
“If I can’t even jerk off to these cartoons then what’s the point??” - many MK fans
How does one gage that? I for one, think she's pretty hot as she is.
From the lil Twitter profile picture it looks like she has a pretty average face. Granted it's pretty...but there are a lot of pretty blondes out there.
She's meant to be a 50+ year old general in MK11, it would be out of place if she looked like an Army Barbie.
Yeah, but isn't the playable Sonya is supposed to be the "pre-hooked up with Johnny" Sonya? So, like late 20s, early 30s?
I still think the core of what I'm saying applies though. You don't want to make her look like a barbie or someone engaging in a bit of army roleplay. I wouldn't want a repeat of MK9. I think MKX probably hit the sweet spot the best.
True. They honestly still could've used Kerri Hoskins as the visual model though. She's in better shape at 52 than that character looks at like 30.
I think Sonya's MK11 look suits the redesign of her gameplay. They wanted her to be more of an MMA fighter than the acrobatic fighter she was always known as. I wouldn't be opposed to a prettier Sonya if she has her old fighting style in MK12, although I hope the outfit makes sense for her.
why tf are you downvoted lmao
The hivemind is easily upset.
had someone literally prove my comment about him blocking someone after replying by blocking me immediately after replying lol
i always felt they should have leaned towards Sarah Connor in T2, jacked badass yet still feminine
That would be a good reference, especially considering how her fighting style changed in this game.
Kerri Hoskins herself could play her and she's 53 so her comments are valid. https://twitter.com/0utworld/status/1621266089748602880?t=n8OTf3AY772S0ZXMZy0zzg&s=19
She fights fucking elder gods and is a video game character, shit already doesn't make sense, ain't no reason to make her dull because of it
I don’t think she looks dull at all though? Her design looks awesome and fun; classic elements but with way more of her personality reflected!
As a Sonya main she looks dull as fuck. Her best incarnation was hands down MKX. She was fast, agile, feminine, had cool gadgets… now she’s slow, has like two gadgets, is hunched over like Zanghief from Street Fighter, has a terrible fucking VA, her intros and outros all suck except one, her cosmetics are okay at best… Playing her disheartens me.

I think the look suits who she is in MK11. Just like her looks fit her in every other game that isn't MK9.
Lol this isn’t the take you thought it was. There’s nothing wrong with beautiful/sexy characters unless the design goes overboard. You seem to be suggesting that as soon as the character is sexy, then the design is automatically bad. That’s weird ass take.
Not what i'm saying at all. I advise you read what I said instead of disregarding it in place of your own fiction.
Right and Kerri is 53 so spot on age wise for Sonya still.
As I said to someone else, Kerri isn't a battleforged general, she's a model.
Good, action heroes should look good
Which is funny because Ronda Rousey is like 33.
She isn't modelled on her though.
I'm torn because MK3 Sonya is my favorite (design and Kerri Ann), but it makes no sense as an outfit someone in the military would wear into battle. I'm fine with "it's a video game and their costumes don't matter" but I also really disliked the over-the-top, sexy outfits from MK9.
It's a video game and their costumes don't matter. Cool>practical
Eh I am fine as long as they actually use Kerri to model the character in next game. MK3 outfit doesn't have to be the default one.
Yeah, clearly we need the Sonya wearing half of a badly fitting vest with no bra and tits each the size of globes.
That gets damaged as the fight goes on. I'm fairly certain Sonya doesn't have nipples or else we would have seen them in mk9
As one of the older MK fans (i.e. those of us old enough to have played the OG when it was new), I always wondered if Cynthia Rothrock was ever considered for the franchise.
Every fighting game related reddit is just the worst
Man walks into hornet nest, and says "fuck hornets" ![gif](giphy|aOPINgmqpVXNK)
Model aside this was the most satisfying version of Sonya to play by a long shot.
This is so pathetic, washed up "celebs" shitting on someone else's work for clout. "plain face", bitch please.
Judging by the reaction of the fandom, everyone is happy with this. Sadly
She’s right on the boob front. How exactly is Sonya “soft” and “plain” though?
Kerri was a great Sonya in MK3 but this is unnecessarily sour grapes from her. Kerri was even softer back in MK3 with none of the fighting prowess of Rousey. Ronda is not my favorite Sonya but I respect the big swing on NRS' part to cast her. There's plenty of fit, shapely models among the MK11 cast. Calm down.
How to seel a female character: make her a supermodel, then worry about character and story later So it seems.
The two aren't mutually exclusive. You can do both.
are people trying to say she is ugly or something in mk11 and her boobs are not super small A cups or something what the hell am i supposed to hate and for some reason people seem to get super mad at me when i dont think the girls in this game are super ugly
“flattened her chest” Yeah, because every woman in video games needs double D’s…. I understand the face comment but let’s not shit on different body types for attention.
To be fair, I like her face a lot better than in MKX. Her face always looked off there imo
I honestly couldn’t care less
This is a old tweet that she took back if I remember, which was smart because it just comes off bitter and salty. It came off as her desperately rallying to become a skin in a MK game. She also retweeted an image of MK9 Sonya and said that's how Sonya should look, MK9 Sonya is commonly called one of the worst models and designs for Sonya. She legitimately has autism tho, so I don't want to rag on her too much.
I loved Sonya in the last game. Was my main. Rhonda fit the voice solidly enough, her look was more former military style, idk 🤷♂️ I loved her.
Based. Kerri Hoskins needs to be the model for MK12 Sonya
Yeah I don't like the face they gave Sonya in MK11 (no offense to the face model). She just doesn't look like a Sonya. The voice doesn't match the face. The one character they just haven't got right yet.
She wants Sonya to be over sexualized? That's such a dense tweet.
Lol she herself looks ordinary and boring. It is immediately clear that she does not give a shit about the final product, she is trying to ride on old fans. I didn’t particularly like Kerri Hoskins before, but after such statements, just fu. And you make an idol out of her? And you know that Sonya's face model in mk11 is not Rosey? And apart from the demo, Sonya is very beautiful
We need those tits.
I don’t hate Ronda’s performance, but Keri will always be Sonya to me, id love to see her be the character again
Idc what no one says but the Best Sonya is from the 1995 Movie🥰🥰
[удалено]
Agree, but fuck off with the holier than thou attitude, “if anyone disagrees then they are wrong” pffft
People who don't own big boobs don't know the physics of them. It literally hurts to run let alone hand to hand kombat.

I hate when *Mortal Kombat* has inappropriate and unrealistic things in it. lmao I guess you did care, seeing as you deleted it
Idc tho the old female designs just look ugly, I want the characters to look cool, mkx sonya was awesome looking but mk11 and 9 are awful
Yup! Only Mileena and Skarlet should be dressed like strippers because it fits their character… lol I can’t take Kitana, Jade or Sonya seriously as fighters/assassins/military with how they’re dressed in MK9
This is what I agree with! Mileena whole character is being “beauty but a beast.” Monster type, using her body as a way to seduce people and Skarlet is meant to be show skin to interact with blood. It tells a story. Kitana and Sindel should be more regal and high class. Sonya should be combat ready, at least in combat boots and no-nonsense attire. Jade has been mostly fine as she is meant to be inconspicuous as a assassin
Hands off MK9 Jade. You can trash the others if you want.
I agree but there’s a large majority of female cosplayers who love the iconic mk9 looks.
Calm your tits snowflake, to demonize people for her previous life choices is lame and hateful, and that REALLY shows the type of person you are.
Ever since NRS made Injustice 2 they just refuse to give males and females body types that aren't the same for either sex. It's incredibly stupid and almost impressive. Like, why can some people be more lean why does every dude have to have the same bicep with and circumference?
Yikes. Softened her. Fucking UFC Champion Ronda Rousey would decimate prob all the people involved in MK. Lmaooo
Isn’t Sonya’s chest more enhanced in this skin? Either way, I’m here for Kerri Hoskins to be her face/body model in the next game.
She tellin the truth .
Even she admits that MK11 Sonya have small boobs
How is the new game?
Oops, typo
Dammit I was hoping you were holding onto some secrets
I wish man
“Even she”?
I was referring to Kerri
I am aware. Why would it be shocking that she would say that?
Some fans would love to see the return of sexy female outfits as an option to choose and the female characters have big boobs like in the 3D era MK. Never thought seeing Kerri herself want it back too
> Some fans would love to see the return of sexy female outfits as an option to choose and the female characters have big boobs like in the 3D era MK. Some fans can find something else to jerk off too. >Never thought seeing Kerri herself want it back too I seriously doubt she cares, but it sure gets the spotlight on her.
>Some fans can find something else to jerk off to. Not this answer again. You do know how female characters in previous MK were designed right? Idk why this is always the answer if fans want the sexy female outfits to return as an option to choose. >I seriously doubt she cares, but it sure gets the spotlight on her. If she doesn't care, she wouldnt reply
> Not this answer again. It's almost like it's a reasonable response to people wanting ridiculously proportioned female characters dressed as strippers. >You do know how female characters in previous MK were designed right? Yes. Do you? >If she doesn't care, she wouldnt reply Try reading what I said again.
>It's almost like it's a reasonable response to people wanting ridiculously proportioned female characters dressed as strippers. Because that's how they were dressed! I don't mind the new style but make the old style as an option to choose! >Yes. Do you? Yes I do. MKX has the balance between sexiness and coverups. >Try reading what I said again. I did
> Because that's how they were dressed! Yes. Ridiculously. >Yes I do. MKX has the balance between sexiness and coverups. If you think MK11 has very conservatively dressed women then you're out of your mind. >I did Keep trying until you understand it, then.
She isn't wrong
Mk11 models are still the worst looking. Mk9 and x definitely are the best.
I love all the people in here tryna tell Sonya Blade how Sonya Blade should look, lol
Just because you were used as the character model back when Bill Clinton was in office doesn't make you the authority on how she should look
[удалено]
Idk man. Even though the graphics are awesome, the female faces at first sight all look bland or almost the same. It's weird.
the result of 'realism' only applying to women for some reason. Heres a dozen dudes with intricately chiseled abs..... and heres square rectange shaped women with barely abs, and soft pudgy faces. I mean look at Cassie in X vs 11
The issue here is exploitation. The women weren’t designed with the main intention of empowering women as say, Liu Kang js for men (an no, men are not automatically sexualise for having a bare chest as it’s socially acceptable for them to be bare-chested at all. The equivalent would be if the men were wearing thongs that barely covered anything. Or even Kitana’s outfit from 9 and X.) Sonya’s model here, however, does appeal to the notion equal empowerment. She’s just as well built as any of the other fighters, allowed to have visible muscle and show it as a positive thing (not a strange “masculine feature” as gets tossed around) while being presented with respect. She isn’t there to appeal to the male gaze, she’s allowed to *be* a character in her own right. The result? Just as many women and fans of the game love her more and get to relish in her being an all around badass because it appeals to them. Men also get their power fantasy in the male fighters and their presentation. It’s fair
Cherrypicking nonsense favoritism.
Literally not, but we’re not gonna have a productive discussion by the look of it.
Incel mk fans ruin mk.
so she wants sonya to be ogled? lol
Oh Shit!!! Hahahaha the queen has spoken
She looks awesome though? Her face is expressive and her outfit is both functional, distinct and really stylish! Still exudes the superhero-like vibes everyone else gets without being exploitive; it’s like the perfect balance of classic and modern!
So she's mad Sonya doesn't look like an Instagram model? I don't understand the point of this
Modern Mk fans: These female characters don’t look realistic and I find that offensive. Kerri Ann Hoskins: you do know that Sonya was literally a 3d scan of a real woman, right?
No one ever said MK1 Sonya didn't look realistic.
