Dunno what you're talking about. All of them except Tanya looks great to me. Especially like the look of the new Sindel and Ashrah. Sindel actually looks like Kitana's and Mileena's mother now, and Ashrah actually looks like a demon in the middle of purging her soul of evil - which she is.
The actual faces are taken from genuinely attractive woman. The problem is, there is like, no stand out art direction to them. Just so lifeless and drab. Like AI generated faces when see them in motion.
Not just the models either mind, the actual backgrounds as so, fucking boring.

Man, I dunno why devs don't wanna make pretty women in games. Like conventionally pretty. I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but come on.
Even I had to mod BG3 so the faces of the women don't have jawlines of a space marine.
Yeah, the art direction is sh*t. It's kinda funny that they want to look *realistic* but then have this really fantasy/extremely exaggerated over the top gore. Even the gore doesn't look good anymore. They should be making gore a bit grounded and characters, well, at least give them some personality. Don't know what exactly wrong but everything about it looks boring and drab. Not even talking about *ahem ahem* but at least give some life to the characters and environments.
Technically, this looks like the best looking fighting game to date (SF6 looks like a mid gen ps4 game and Tekken8 looks like trash). But artistically it does look like dogwater. If i were to play the game, i'd play Homelander exclusively, and f everyone else🤡
Looking at their faces, you know what it reminds me off of? That random generation of faces UE5 has. They're featureless and flat. Its like they're all coming from the same mold.
I think it looks good. They look like women about to fight. What do you want them to all be supermodel level of hot? I am excited to play this one.
SF6 also looks good to me. Just different art directions.
Why would you be paying attention to them looking like they're ready to fight when MK isn't even remotely realistic, or tries to aim for realism? They're literally impaling themselves with stuff, breaking bones, while keep fighting, and you care about them looking like an ufc fighter? Makes no sense.
I don't really think it's that bad personally. It doesn't matter to me how attactive the models are in MK when you're gouging eyes out and dismembering body parts. I honestly prefer it to SF6's sexual anime aesthetic and hyper colorful graphics. I'll take gritty gore over unicorn color splashes myself.
@hardwenzen: I can ask the same thing. Who cares what they look like when they are about to be impaling each other? It's in no way realistic, I agree. Still not sure why people are upset by facial features of some fictional characters. These character models seem more fitting to the type of fighting game MK 1 is than if they were some model looking characters. To each their own though.

They were always half naked and didn't look like ghouls in MK. You don't change what has worked for such a long time.
@hardwenzen: The audience for video games has also broadened since 1993 too. They aren't just trying to attract young boys to the games anymore. Video games have evolved as the medium has opened up to new demographics. Maybe make skins for both ways. I've been playing since the original game first hit the arcades and I don't mind the new outfits. Just me though.
Well, I also always found MK's visual/art style to be ugly. Basically, it is more glorified violence porn than a fighting game.
However, I admit that it reaches a very high "violence porn" standard. That's why, unlike other fighting games that only appeal to fighting game fans, it sells to a wider audience, just like bareback porn sells better than non-rough porn.
It is also generally agreed in the fighting game community that the gameplay lacks depth and is boring to watch, and in fact it is one of the least attended and viewed games at EVO, the largest fighting game tournament.
Technically, this looks like the best looking fighting game to date (SF6 looks like a mid gen ps4 game and Tekken8 looks like trash). But artistically it does look like dogwater. If i were to play the game, i'd play Homelander exclusively, and f everyone else🤡
What? Tekken 8 mops the floor with everything from a technical standpoint.

It looks like tekken 7 with more polys on character faces, and all female faces are still looking like dolls with zero expressions.

They were half naked to distract us from their Casper Van Dien faces. Unfortunately, that made it all the more obvious that Netherrealm reused the same in game model for every female character. Many of the dudes reused assets as well, but having shirts on most of them made it less obvious.

I don't get this thread at all, both games look fantastic. SF6 is a vast improvement over SF5 and MK1 just continues the solid designs from MK11 but toned down a bit. MK1 looks really nice.

SF6 looks fantastic even though I have most of the visual candy turned WAAAAY down so the fighting is crisp. Tekken has always been whatever even in the 90s
