    Is Tanya being a bit ugly that much of a controversy? Game looks awesome and much faster paced than 11. The cameos are much better than the customizable characters imo.

      Tanya is symptomatic of a bigger issue, NetherRealm has been censoring their characters for years now and it looks like MK1 is undergoing the same treatment all in the name of “realism”. But that’s not all, I’ve actually heard the opposite of what you’re saying when it comes to the pacing of the gameplay, I hear that it’s sluggish, and while the cameos are nice, they only have a couple of different routes you can take when using them. That’s not saying you can’t be excited for the game, it’s just that I am not.

        I’d say they are just moving away from the tacky bikini outfits from the PS2 era. I think katana and mileena look great. I think people have rose colored glasses when it comes to the character models for mk 9 they look much better now. As for the gameplay I won’t know until I play it but from what I see it looks more like MkX than mk11. I agree with you that SF6 will be hard to beat. I think it’s my favorite street fighter since 3.

          I think there’s an easy medium here, in actuality I don’t really like the battle bikinis either but I don’t think they’ve gotta go in the completely opposite direction liiek they have. Sonya Blade in MK9 is a great example of a character that looked good and was an absolute badass. Then they went all anti-sex and we got what we got in MKX. You can have both, there’s more to good character design than just fan service but it is an integral part of making characters that people want to play as, and I think that NR just doesn’t seem to understand it. But also, it’s lopsided censorship because the men are bare chested and Goro doesn’t wear anything other than a speedo. Then you have SF6 and the way it treats it’s character design and it just feels like night and day. I just wish NR wouldn’t creatively limit their artists like this.
