Post subject: There needs to be more females. |
 |
| |
I really like what characters are present in the current MK timeline. But... after playing Armageddon, I realized something, for every female, there are 4 males. Especially in the fighter selection screen, how they have all the females clumped together, I was like... woah.
Maybe for MK8, they can have the main konquest protaganist be a female? Or have a female boss? Or both? XD
But then again, I don't want to see the female version of existing characters, like I wouldn't want to see another Frost or another female ninja. Maybe they can build on Li Mei more and give her that friend that was in the koncept art for Deadly Alliance - Siobhan her name was. That would be cool.
I just feel that there needs to be a variety of females as well. Ashrah is one of my favorites because she hardly dresses skimpy, and she is beautiful though an ex demon. Perhaps they can portray a female demon, that ISN'T beautiful, or just more modest women in general.
Also, if they decide to make Khameleon a real character (though maybe calling her something else since there is a male with a similar name), it would be something cool.
Other females existing already that can be brought back are Tasia (from Special Forces), Kia, and Jataaka. If the MK team brought Tasia or Jataaka back, I would be thrilled because there needs to more of an ethnic diversity among the female roster.
In addition, they could make Argus playable, thus making Delia playable too.
Regardless, they can always just make up more females.
Wow, after rereading all of this, I seem to have quite an opinion...
What do you guys think?

Eh, I guess I'm half and half on this:
Female Boss: Twould be a nice change of pace, but I don't forsee it happening
More females: Its a decent idea, but not practical. Lets face it: the world of gaming is still owned by males, both playing the game, and inside the game. Even in the DOA games, where the females are the main reason for the game, there are still more male counterparts and characters. I would like to see more females, but at the same time, still have some form of set balance. If you just increase the females, and decrease, or leave the males as is, you lose out on a lot of posibilities, that the males could offer. In the end, I just view it as a balance thing. plus, its the few females in the Mk world that make them so special, why ruin it by destroying a pattern?
Over all: Liek I said, its a balance thing, but its not a bad idea, so long as they can balance it.

Lol, I do understand what you mean by balance, though it would be pretty interesting if MK8 was 75% female...
But yeah, I can see why they wouldn't bother fixing something if it ain't broke.

I say YES!
More girls in Mortal Kombat => better Mortal Kombat.
I personally find myself prefering female fighters (NOT their bOObs!!!). If I want to see two fighting males, I can always turn on TV
I would never think I could find another Ashrah fan 
PS: They could make Delia playable even without Argus´ presence. She DOESN´T need him! Yeah, that´s my feministic self

To TotalMK: That statement was just funny.... wow. I could barely breathe after reading that.
And to what Smiley said, I think making Delia playable would be awesome, with or wityhout Argus. Mk needs a female sorceress, plus her costume in Konquest mode is just awesome... though I don't know how Taven and Daegon can stand looking at her, lol.

Yea, but I dont see that happening, MKAr is the end of everything we currently know of MK Mythology, with MK8 going to be a fresh new world. Perhaps they will have a sorceress, but I garrantee it wont be her.

I highly doubt that this current story is finished.
Taven and Daegon are new to MK so I doubt they would be killed off. That said, their connection to Argus and/or Delia would still exist so it is possible to have Delia playable.

So what if they're new, if ya havent noticed, MK gets lots of new characters, who just seem to die off after one game, Stryker and Rain being great examples, til MKAr ofcourse. Point is, as the crew said, this game is the LAST for every, or most of the characters seen in that game. I could see Deavon and Taven being REFERENCED in the next one, but not actually usable.
And she's dead, likes thousands of years dead, I doubt she'll be in it

From what I've seen with official statements and such, I don't take what they say seriously until something specific is confirmed.
And until then, I would like to believe that anything is possible for MK8
And to Delia being dead, there is a chance she is still alive due to Daegon's ending.

You make a good point. I agree. Like you pick a konquest of a boy or girl. That awesome! More chicks would be cooler, too.

Some of the only female characters I wnat in this MK8 game is Jataaka, Siobhan(the sketch on Deadly Alliance), and Khameleon.
New girls should include an Edenian, in Orange, and Liu Kang to have a daughter. Pretty much for me.
