I am not so sure about the gender swaps, I would prefer just seeing new characters who are female rather than a mundane attempt to switch things up.

Ditto, get a girl guest character or a new one? There are options, but gener/race swap is pandering virtue signal BS. Also noticed the girls seem to be getting uglier and more heavily clothed maybe just me. Just saying know your audience.

[@yoolaroola872]

because there talentless they would rather change your fav characters to push an agenda or fill a box instead of make new female ones or even bring existing female characters back

[@insertcleverjoke8383]

I don't mind it in a lot of these cases. Like Janet Cage is just kinda funny, Bo Rai Cho becoming Madam Bo is fine because it's more of a nod than a character swap, and the female scorpion wasn't a gender swap, it was Hanzo's wife from another timeline, which is pretty cool. But major playable characters, especially ones who are so beloved? I've loved the changes they've made to different characters, like turning Shao Kahn into a general, Reptile and Shang Tsung's new stories, but is the implication here that Cyrax is a different character with that name? And why not just give us human Cyrax like MK9? I just wonder what the reasoning is

No one seems to care that we paid $70+ dollars for an unfinished game. Dlc and aftermath aside.

Cross play took forever and is not part of switch. I won't be pre-ordering any more games going forward or buying at full price. Mk1 and kp1 went 50% off within 6 months of release.

Too much effort unfortunately. Because ironically enough, even though everybody who copes about this says “it doesn’t matter”. To NRS it does matter, they mocap female and males completely differently. The only female skin using a male moveset is the Janet Cage NPC from invasions. Because NRS mocaps the genders differently, and because all the mocap for MK1 has been long completed and finished. There’s no more chance of this happening in the game Unless there’s approved support beyond the expansion, there’s no chance for 2 genders sharing the same animations via skins.

Stuff like Madame Bo works. She's great, likable, and actually badass. Basically if its just a "This is how this character would be if they were swapped." Thats fine.

These same people love to say how none of this matters yet ignore the fact that humans by nature are visual creatures that clearly have a type or a taste for certain things. We all have preferences yet some like to gatekeep or act like other people’s doesn’t matter as much as long as THEIR preference isn’t affected until it does then all of the sudden they care now that their favorite character was changed. Overall the hypocrisy from the people defending this change astounds me.

[@morbidhandle13x]

Why change it? To sprinkle in some more fighter variation. To align with the timeline reset where there are a bunch of minor differences. To distinguish these fighters from past fighters as cheaply and lazily as possible. They can design characters however they want - it's their game. They don't owe you a faithful greatest hits of MK1-MK11. They're a greedy corporation trying to reach new audiences and make their game seem fresh. Your opinion does not matter as much as you think it does. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean a group of villains must be crusading against you. Y'all sound like children who think some very normal parenting decision is evidence of a conspiracy to ruin their lives.

[@gabrieltejada1697]

@@morbidhandle13x “trying to reach a new audience” Gotta love this rebuttal considering that hasn’t really worked out at all these past few years and they slowly lose more and more people and even newcomers who end up moving on to other games giving out more and better content overall. “Y’all sound like children” I’ve noticed how anytime someone uses this argument it’s often paired with projection on their part or in your case confusion with maturity when in fact it’s quite the opposite. Your idea of someone not acting like a “child” is just another way of saying people should just stay quiet and not say a word or not being allowed to voice their opinion on anything but the gameplay itself (even though that too sometimes leads to guys like yourself finding the most ridiculous excuses to defend these decisions like the game being rushed or excessive microtransactions etc) “They can design their characters however they want - it’s their game” And people can decide what games they want to buy or play - it’s their money. See how that works both ways? “They don’t owe you” And we don’t owe them our loyalty but at the end of the day if they don’t listen to their customers then they can’t expect much money from us afterwards especially if there’s no respect. If this isn’t such a problem to you regarding these changes then why don’t we make Kitana and Mileena into guys instead? after all it’s not a big deal as long as the gameplay is good right? 🤔

[@morbidhandle13x]

@@gabrieltejada1697 I can't believe I'm responding to this.. MK sells a lot of copies, but regardless that's not a counterpoint. Whether a more varied cast actually leads to more sales or not, that's why they're doing it. It's warner bros, the only reason they do anything is more money. Nobody told you can't have an opinion or that you have to stay quiet. I'm telling you your opinion is silly and embarrassing and I hope you have more because I'll happily provide my opinion on those too! You can give that "bad bad I am being silence of my freedom of opinion" card a rest. Yes, you can choose whether or not you want to buy/play the game. That's what I'm saying - if you don't like it, go ahead and skip it. If that's how important the Male:Female ratio in Mortal Kombat is to you - that you'd rather not play than see it be slightly less male-dominated - then go play tekken and we'll see ya later. I wouldn't care AT ALL if they changed mileena or kitana, especially in MK1 with the timeline reset. It would give the cast less variety instead of more so I don't think it would make sense, but this is what I'm talking about - you think it's some kind of conspiracy against men. It's pretty simple - they're too cheap and lazy to make new characters and they've already invested in MK IP but they want there to be more variety. A lot of people like variety. They like when things are new or different, it justifies 12 games of blue ice ninja fighting pompous actor man and lighting guy with hat. Are you outraged that Shao isn't Shao Kahn in this game? He's just General Shao. BUT HE'S ALWAYS SHAO KAHN THAT'S MY CHARACTER HE RULES OUTWORLD THAT'S HIS THING? Oh wait, they did a timeline reset and you utterly don't care about most of the changes but if a woman voices Cyrax that's over the line and we gotta take it personally? They redesign every character for these games - get over it!

[@jassimhamid2808]

​@morbidhandle13x The topic right now is gender swap, not about Shao Khan. A lot of people weren't happy how they made Shao khan into a General. A lot of people weren't happy about Scorpion not being Hanzo. A lot of people are not happy they turned Bi-Han into one dimensional bad guy when he wasn't in Mythologies. And don't get me started on Sindel from MK11. When they make things right, we applaud them. When they make a stupid decision that nobody asked for to try to satisfy a group of people that 90% will not play the game, we call them out on it. We aren't sheep like yourself trying to defend every bad decision they do. And yes, they do owe us. We are the ones who buy their games, so our voice matters.

[@mikecabral2420]

The weird thing about Sektor and Cyrax getting genderswapped is that if they just created two original characters it probably would've been seen as continuing the trend of early MK games having male and female ninjas that are just coor swapped palettes of each other or atleast a new twist on that trend. As for Cage, Scorpion, and the dragon getting genderswapped I don't care because it's either an alternate timeline, I think it's more weird that it didn't happen with all the characters during those cutscenes considering they're supposed to be from across a multiverse with seemingly unlimited variants and a genderbend character makes more sense than what felt like a hundred combination characters like we got, or in the case of the dragon, it's a npc from a game that is from the worst period of Mortal Kombat. It's as far from an important character as you can get.

Remember what the *main* point of Kameo Fighters were?
