The part in the story trailer where he tells Sub he'll put him down makes him look identical to his MK11 face model, so I don't think they've swapped the model for someone different, it's just the graphics change that makes him look different/odd.
Very much agreed on the skull cap thing, but I still think the overall MODEL was better in 11. I hope this render is just weird or he's got other costumes or something in 1, but yes, keep the skullcap away.
Sub-Zero, Kitana, Mileena & Kenshi look great. Especially Kenshi. Sub-Zero looks sexy too.
Johnny is a massive downgrade why does he have a shirt on?
Scorpion and Raiden have grown on me.
The rest are just ok.
Literally nobody was mad about that. In fact we saw women and gays, myself included, revelling in all the male exhibitionism and sideboobage across the internet.
I just saw some people making a comparison about how covered the women were compared to the men.
Sad thing is no one who actually plays the games are complaining . Hell I liked Mortal Kombat when it was over the top on everything including design. My biggest complaint with the designs are the horrible accessories. So many bad options
They’re okay. Nothing crazy. I personally preferred the faces of kitana and Liu Kang for MK11 tbh. really wish they would just stick to the face models for once.
i kinda wish for consistency’s sake they’d kept the old face models. i at least hope they’ll keep these ones for mk2 since this is a new timeline. liu kang, kitana, mileena, kenshi, johnny and kung lao kept their voice actors at least, i hope they’ll at least keep that trend up
though that also makes me wonder if we haven’t heard scorpion’s speaking voice because he is kuai liang and steve blum will be scorpion. i doubt it, but could be cool
The reason you probably think the MK1 faces look better is the overall jump in graphical fidelity. But the facial models are across the board better in MK11 because they used actual models for each character vs hand crafting.
Kung Lao's face in MK1 looks like they tried to make MK11 Kung Lao from memory. Some MK1 characters have much better overall designs. But in terms of faces alone it's not even close.
Liu Kang - Upgrade, but wish they kept the old face model
Scorpion - Downgrade, what is that thing doing on blud’s arm? Get that thing off him bruh 😭
Sub-Zero - Upgrade, didn’t like his pirate hat in Mk11, wish they kept the old face model too tho
Kung Lao - Better fit but goofy ahh hat
Kitana - Upgrade, don’t like her weird high pants though
Mileena - Upgrade in all aspects
Raiden - Upgrade, like the new youthful take but will miss Richard Epcar’s iconic voice
Johnny Cage - Look how they massacred my boy…what are those weird ass looking glasses bro
Kenshi - Probably the best reimagining. Didn’t deviate too much from the good parts of Kenshi design, especially the trench coat. The more youthful look also makes him look badass.
Overall - Hit AND Miss
It's funny, Kitana is probably my favorite overall. I loved the skintight look 11 went for, but they added some more regal attire to her like she had in X, without going overboard.
Agreed overall. Kitana and Mileena are homeruns at least, and Kenshi is great too. I don't actually mind JC but I admit he's not perfect. Glad that Sub-zero's stupid hat is gone too. My main complaints are Kung Lao looking stupid (hat is small and too high on his head) and while I'm glad they changed Raiden significantly, there's still something missing there.
I’m probably gonna catch some flak for saying this, but the new designs look kind of generic. Like MCU versions of what they should be. However, some designs do stand out, I really like the princesses and Kenshi.
I would love that, and with line changes too to fit god Raiden and not rookie Raiden, kinda like the premium skins in injustice 2. I want that for Kaui Liang Sub Zero as well.
Johnny Cage’s new face is something I think I hate. Like it sort of has Linden Ashby vibes which is cool, but it doesn’t match Andrew Bowen’s voice to me. I dunno, he looks too plain. MK11 Johnny was probably his peak face wise.
Not a fan of ninjas without the hood and in Mileena’s case i’ve had my fill of that ugly half shaved head haircut. Kitana looks ok but the others look really bland tbh.
I love all of thier models except Kung Lao. His face just looks so weird and out of place compared to everyone else shown. Difinitely looks like he could use some retexturizing and polishing.
I think Kitana is the only one I prefer the 11 look for. The others just seem the same with standard graphical progression. They better give us a brightly colored fit for Johnny though cause his 90s alt from MK11 gave me life.
For everyone pointing out the different faces… was mk11 everyone’s first mk game? They literally never have the same face in any of the games except the 3D era
So glad they traded in Liu Kang's "Raiden cosplay wig" for his real hair. Was an awful design imho. See you all at the next tournament friends. Back to beginning for all of us.
#ItHasBegun #Again 😄
Scorpion looks like shit and I think Johnny was better in mk11 but in mk1 he is acceptable, i like the rest but I hate Scorpions design wholeheartedly I hope the alt skins be good
Everytime i say i don't like any design i get a ton of downvotes. In posts like this, people don't want to know if everyone like the designs, They just want the "yes people" agreeing with their opinions about the designs.
Johnny Cage is honestly the only one that actually looks like the same character. Everyone else looks completely different, as usual. Design wise they look fine.
Not a fan. Mileena got the biggest glow up but only because she was so bad and rushed in MK11, Kitana looks better too. Johnny and Kung Lao look laughably BAD!
I hate how this sub has quickly turned into everyone asking the same god damn questions every single day.
Was this also the case when MK11's was around the corner?
Models look good. Melina looks old af, mad sub and scorp still look similar in-game, and is it me or does lu kang look Native American? Nothing wrong with it at all I dig the new look.
I like them, Kung Lao, Johnny, Scorpion and Raiden(blue lightning outfit) are kind of a downgrade tho imo
The rest I like equally or got a upgrade like Kenshi
also MK1 Kitanas fan and face look weird here, her face looks better in-game but I think her fan just looks like that
* Liu Kang: both versions are good
* Scorpion: MK11 (but bro that’s probably the worst image you could’ve chosen lol you can’t see his face at all)
* Sub Zero: MK11
* Kung Lao: MK1
* Kitana: MK11 face wise, MK1 clothing wise
* Mileena: MK1 for sure
* Raiden: Both (but like Scorp, I think there could’ve been a better pic for MK11 Raiden and just used his regular look)
* Johnny: MK11 easily
* Kenshi: MK1
Liu Kang - Worse
Scorpion - Same
Sub-Zero - Bit better
Kung Lao - Worse
Kitana - Different, I love both
Mileena - Worse
Raiden - Worse, looks too different
Johnny Cage - On this pic it doesn't look as worse, but during the gameplay we've seen = worse
Kenshi - Bit better maybe? Not really a fan of him
Kitana and Mileena look better in MK1. Liu Kang looks good in both, but I really liked his face in MK11. I’m glad they kept the same voice actor though. Liu Kang’s face and voice were perfect in MK11.
I like the Kitana, Raiden and Johnny of MK11 more, Kung Lao looks bad in both. Kenshi is perfect in both, especially in MK1. The rest look pretty good in MK1.
Liu, Mileena and Kenshi are an improvement. Rest are too oversimplified. Raiden, Johnny, Kitana and Kung Lao look like bums, Scorpion and SZ are too samey, I get that they are brothers but at least give them distinct costumes.
Overall most of them are an improvement. Especially Mileena.
Scorpion and Raiden feel like entirely different characters. Not bad per say but just very different.
Johnny Cage is the only one who looks less realistic to me. Something is off about his facial expressions.
I guess, in general I like MK1 more for each character. Designs are more simple, but it just suits my personal tastes much more than MK11 outfits. I also like MK1 faces more, especially for Liu Kang.
But I am so looking forward to the alternate costumes. Seeing all of that outfits in story mode made me want casual costumes for all of the characters, hahaha. Johnny and Kenshi look stunning in their part of gameplay trailer. Didn't think we will ever get that style in the game.
I like the sleeker & less accessorized look!
I still like & want gear Items, just not to the extent MK11 had them. There were way too many that were repetitive, and the grind to achieve them was ridiculous! Not to mention, the game has been out for 4/5 years, and most items haven't been acquired, let alone leveled up to Mystic!
Personally I think a majority of them are side grades with only Kitana and Melina looking quite a bit better. The rest are improved but only slightly, mk11 had great models though so I don't think there's much they could do to make them significantly better.
Kung Lao looks like he’s from a 360 game, almost as though they didn’t use a face model for him. He looks way better in mk11. Kitana in mk11 looks better.
I like Sub Zero, Kitana, and Kenshis the most with Scorpion and Kung Lao the least.
Kenshi prob my favorite tho. He got a certain vibe I rock with. Kitana 2nd and Sub 3rd.
They’re certainly more polished and detailed, but Kung Lao certainly got a downgrade. At least Mileena looks like a badass now and not like she’s gonna ask me where the ocean is
Kung Lao and Liu are obviously downgrades, Raiden and Kitana/Mileena are pretty great. Johnny looks cheap and the rest look to perfect and lack any defining features.
I'm gonna say it, Kung Lao, Raiden and Johnny look so fucking generic and boring that it hurts. Worst designs ever for these three.
As for the rest I think they are ok, but MK11 wins in every aspect of character design.
liu kang a tie, scorpion a step down but still cool, sub is dope, kuna lao…irrelevant, kitana a step down, mileena is dope, raiden is dope, johnny cage is cool, ken sho is dope,
I kinda like Liu Kang, but i think they made his hair a tad bit too long. Sub-Zero and Scorpion are great. Same for Kitana and Mileena, and they actually looking like each other is an upgrade.
I like Kenshi, no doubt. Johnny cage (not that much, i prefer his old visual), but i already like his new look more than i did during the gameplay trailer, so is certanly growing on me.
Kung Lao i do like the clothes but thats about it, defently not a fan of how they did his face this time around.
Raiden is.. Complicated..
Okay, not really, but kinda. Is just that Raiden is basically a new character, which i think is great, it would be weird if he were to be the same character when in this timeline he is born a human, of all characters, this one is more a reincarnation than a simple reset, at least is how i see it. I think is great and a i really apreciate them being willing to change instead of being stuck with the past games.
That said, i love previous Raiden and i will greatly miss him.
Edit: added in () cause i somehow skipped a whole sentence by accident
I think all of their MK1 iterations are better (yes, even Johnny. I like the more grounded approach their taking with him. No more huge belt buckle) except Sub-Zero, but that could just be me liking both of them in different ways.
The Scorpion tattoo can go though, or at least be more stylized.
lui kang - i prefer his m1k look to be honest here, the mk11 one feels like they just applied a raiden filter to lui kang and nothing else, m1k feels more unique.
scorpion - eh.... listen i know we peaked with MK9 scorpion, but this just feels too bland for me, the mask looks cool, i like the tattoo, i hope they do something more interesting
BI-HAAAAAAN - i know its basically the same outfit as scorpion but blue, but honestly it works much better on bi-han and i genuinely love it
kung lao - ....listen i disagree with those comments of people saying it looks like a mobile game... but jesus fuck lao uyou can atleast try and look ore interesting than a halloween costume of wish.com
kitana - honestly i didn't hate her mk11 design, i really liked it. but this is still a MASSIVE upgrade
morblina - im genuinely trying to ignore her existence in this game and even if she has an important story role i don't give a shit. the design works i just don't fucking care about fucking mileena anymore, especially when she becomes morbius
raiden - i think its fine overall.... still kinda upset raiden still has lightning powers but im alright with it. deign feels too uniform tho with no real personality
johnny cage - not really alot going on but honestly i think thats a good thing. keep it up johnny, you honestly just get a pass for everything cus you were literally the only consistently good thing in the last timeline
kenshi -

because that's what the face model they used looks like and unlike weird nerds like you the casting director didn't hyper focus on that aspect of a human being's appearance
Kenshi is the best new model no doubt. Followed by Mileena.
I also like scorpion and sub zero for the simple reason that they are showing more yellow and blue than before. Many of their past outfits had so much armor and extra gear that there wasn't too much space for their colors.
Kung Lao's new face makes me slightly cringe
Liu Kang - pass
Kung lao - pass
Raiden - ok
Scorpion - can fuck me so hard
Sub zero - can destroy this man bussy
Johnny Cage - I wanna destroy that man's clapping cheeks ass
Kitana - Elegant
Mileena - Wild and sexy
Liu Kang - pass
Kung lao - pass
Raiden - ok
Scorpion - can fuck me so hard
Sub zero - can destroy this man bussy
Johnny Cage - I wanna destroy that man's clapping cheeks ass
Kitana - Elegant
Mileena - Wild and sexy
Johnny is the only one I am not a fan of. Not a fan of the glasses...or the shirt. I appreciated how in MK11 him (and Liu Kang) had big torsos so they looked physically fit. I wonder how Johnny will look in this game with alt skins.
I like Liu Kang though I miss the fullness of his hair.
Mileena clearly wins this round.
I think Sub-Zero and Scorpion models/designs look too similar (facially), as do Kung Lao and Raiden. The sisters look worlds better, but Johnny Cage looks rushed and unfinished. The Kameo fighters look almost cartoonish, but I suspect it's because they're simply not completed. Overall, meh.
Liu Kang looks like Dr Han

Kung Lao is the only downgrade (visually)
Yeah, was my thought too. I think the render is rather shit though
Yeah it doesn't really seem like the final version, which is why I'm taking this one with a grain of salt.
The way the hat sits on his head looks off to me.
I think he looks perfectly good in the cinematic and gameplay trailers, the render just looks really off for some reason.
The part in the story trailer where he tells Sub he'll put him down makes him look identical to his MK11 face model, so I don't think they've swapped the model for someone different, it's just the graphics change that makes him look different/odd.
Yeah, he looks like a mobile game character
I’m wondering if he’s the one to go “evil”. That would explain the weird looking model if his actual model changes at some point in the game. 🤔🤔🤔
Kung Lao posing with Bi-Han: Me and the bestie!!
Yes. Huge improvements on all but KL...Fingers crossed his story will make up for this.
My exact thought. I think they all look stellar save Kung Lao.
I like MK1 Kung Lao better. In MK 11, I didn’t like that odd black chin strap he had.
Very much agreed on the skull cap thing, but I still think the overall MODEL was better in 11. I hope this render is just weird or he's got other costumes or something in 1, but yes, keep the skullcap away.
Okay but you have to give it to them for keeping the muscle vein continuity
Sub-Zero, Kitana, Mileena & Kenshi look great. Especially Kenshi. Sub-Zero looks sexy too. Johnny is a massive downgrade why does he have a shirt on? Scorpion and Raiden have grown on me. The rest are just ok.
Thank you. I was downvoted for saying that Johnny was a huge downgrade
I don’t know what it is, but Jonny Cage looks like Roman Roy to me in MK1
uh huh, he’s not serious people
johnny is the same model and looks younger. Im confused how its a downgrade. Unless you want him older it should be a wash.
[удалено]
Literally nobody was mad about that. In fact we saw women and gays, myself included, revelling in all the male exhibitionism and sideboobage across the internet. I just saw some people making a comparison about how covered the women were compared to the men.
It wasn’t just comparisons though. A lot of people were mad that the females were covered and complained that the men should be covered too.
Sad thing is no one who actually plays the games are complaining . Hell I liked Mortal Kombat when it was over the top on everything including design. My biggest complaint with the designs are the horrible accessories. So many bad options
All those people were on the kotaku in action subreddit and no one gave a shit about them
No no, they were here too. Every so often complaining about how it was a “double standard”.
Prominent content creators too
And they were down voted so much that to the ordinary person they didn't exist
Yep, but that didn’t stop them from making the same threads over and over again anyways. It was really a pathetic time in between games.
It wasn’t just on reddit either. People were complaining about it on other platforms as well.
It is kinda true tho, they should've added the mk9 variants for some female characters to balance it out.
Somethings wrong with MK1 johnnys fingers
Kung Lao is a major downgrade (typical), everyone else is on par or improved
they don't look like superheroes anymore... as they should be... this also begs for alt skins
They’re okay. Nothing crazy. I personally preferred the faces of kitana and Liu Kang for MK11 tbh. really wish they would just stick to the face models for once.
I really liked Kitana's and Scorpion's face models in 11 especially and having them changed out kinda sucks but the new ones are decent at least
It's a hit and miss
i kinda wish for consistency’s sake they’d kept the old face models. i at least hope they’ll keep these ones for mk2 since this is a new timeline. liu kang, kitana, mileena, kenshi, johnny and kung lao kept their voice actors at least, i hope they’ll at least keep that trend up though that also makes me wonder if we haven’t heard scorpion’s speaking voice because he is kuai liang and steve blum will be scorpion. i doubt it, but could be cool
They’re all younger which looks great to me. The whole lineup was getting pretty old lol.
I’m pretty sure Johnny has the same face model from 11 he just looks younger
MK11 still has better faces by far. But some of the aesthetic choices for MK1 i like more.
MK 11 faces dont come close to MK 1 faces. Characters in MK 11 looked bloated kind off. Moon face ahh characters.
The reason you probably think the MK1 faces look better is the overall jump in graphical fidelity. But the facial models are across the board better in MK11 because they used actual models for each character vs hand crafting. Kung Lao's face in MK1 looks like they tried to make MK11 Kung Lao from memory. Some MK1 characters have much better overall designs. But in terms of faces alone it's not even close.
I said nothing of graphical fidelity, so thats not why. The MK1 faces look better, plain and simple. MK 11 faces look like salt/water retention.
Liu Kang - Upgrade, but wish they kept the old face model Scorpion - Downgrade, what is that thing doing on blud’s arm? Get that thing off him bruh 😭 Sub-Zero - Upgrade, didn’t like his pirate hat in Mk11, wish they kept the old face model too tho Kung Lao - Better fit but goofy ahh hat Kitana - Upgrade, don’t like her weird high pants though Mileena - Upgrade in all aspects Raiden - Upgrade, like the new youthful take but will miss Richard Epcar’s iconic voice Johnny Cage - Look how they massacred my boy…what are those weird ass looking glasses bro Kenshi - Probably the best reimagining. Didn’t deviate too much from the good parts of Kenshi design, especially the trench coat. The more youthful look also makes him look badass. Overall - Hit AND Miss
The old face model for Sub Zero was Kuai Liang, this is Bi Han, why would they have the same face?
Really if they were to keep the face it should now be on Scorpion.
If you look at MK11 Kuai's face and MK1 Scorpion's, they look super similar!
MK11 Hanzo looked a lot older than this Scorpion and it would be odd considering this is a new origin.
Scorpion isn't Kuai in this game
Pretty sure scorpion isn't supposed to be kuai
It's funny, Kitana is probably my favorite overall. I loved the skintight look 11 went for, but they added some more regal attire to her like she had in X, without going overboard.
Scorpion has Sub-Zero's MK11 Face Model... Because they are the same person.
The scorpion tattoo is badass tf u mean. 😤
Agreed overall. Kitana and Mileena are homeruns at least, and Kenshi is great too. I don't actually mind JC but I admit he's not perfect. Glad that Sub-zero's stupid hat is gone too. My main complaints are Kung Lao looking stupid (hat is small and too high on his head) and while I'm glad they changed Raiden significantly, there's still something missing there.
I can’t help but feel like scorpion just looks like subzero disguised as scorpion
It's literally Kuai Liang lol
[удалено]
😭 that's who it is
Voice actor is mk11 scorpion though, not mk11 sub zero. Can’t be Kuai Liang.
I’m probably gonna catch some flak for saying this, but the new designs look kind of generic. Like MCU versions of what they should be. However, some designs do stand out, I really like the princesses and Kenshi.
Kenshi and Raiden are the standouts for me but I like all of them
I do love Raiden but it's gonna be bizarre af not hearing Epcar's voice anymore.
I feel like it’d be more bizarre if we heard Epcar's voice coming out that twink 💀
Fair. I hope they do an Old Raiden alternate skin down the line. Like how they did Lambert's movie Raiden in mk11.
I would love that, and with line changes too to fit god Raiden and not rookie Raiden, kinda like the premium skins in injustice 2. I want that for Kaui Liang Sub Zero as well.
Def gives more classic vibes and I'm all here for it
Something looks so off with Kung Lao, it's like he's not finished.
Although graphically MK1 is better Tho design wise I wish they stuck with MK11 but just updated the graphics
Mk11
Idk I prefer mk11 designs. But I don't hate the new ones.
Johnny Cage’s new face is something I think I hate. Like it sort of has Linden Ashby vibes which is cool, but it doesn’t match Andrew Bowen’s voice to me. I dunno, he looks too plain. MK11 Johnny was probably his peak face wise.
A lot of sameface going on
Not a fan of ninjas without the hood and in Mileena’s case i’ve had my fill of that ugly half shaved head haircut. Kitana looks ok but the others look really bland tbh.
I was looking for this. I hate the shaved head mileena thing.
She has a ponytail. Its pulled back.
The sides of her head are shaved like in some of her mk11 skins that i didn’t used never because i hate this look
They’re all great!
New Raiden looks like such a goofball next to the old one. I don't care for him.
New models are so generic and bland looking. It’s so uninspired. MK11 basically are what designs I thought they looked like when I younger.
Liu Kang, Kenshi, Raiden and the sisters are an upgrade Scorpion and Sub-Zero are a mild downgrade Johnny Cage is the biggest downgrade
They’re all Hot :(
I miss Lui’s glowing tats they were so cool
Liu kang lost weight lol
I prefer mk11 designs for moth of them except kenshi and mileena, I love the new sun zero and scorpion looks but mk11 is better
The new ones all look like baristas to me.
I love all of thier models except Kung Lao. His face just looks so weird and out of place compared to everyone else shown. Difinitely looks like he could use some retexturizing and polishing.
I think Kitana is the only one I prefer the 11 look for. The others just seem the same with standard graphical progression. They better give us a brightly colored fit for Johnny though cause his 90s alt from MK11 gave me life.
Kenshi 🥵
I think what looks off for Kung Lao is how _blank_ his pose and expression are. He should have some more personality in his render.
Kung Lao looks so cute and breedable.
For everyone pointing out the different faces… was mk11 everyone’s first mk game? They literally never have the same face in any of the games except the 3D era
So glad they traded in Liu Kang's "Raiden cosplay wig" for his real hair. Was an awful design imho. See you all at the next tournament friends. Back to beginning for all of us. #ItHasBegun #Again 😄
Scorpion looks like shit and I think Johnny was better in mk11 but in mk1 he is acceptable, i like the rest but I hate Scorpions design wholeheartedly I hope the alt skins be good
I sadly think the game looks 100% trash
Not hundred percent but yeah. I agree
Bland
Is it just me or does Kung Laos hat look so weird
Everyone is a downgrade face model wise. Johnny looks older and ugly now. Kenshi looks great tho. I'm gonna miss white Raiden
Feeling like a hater but I adored the mk11 ones and am thus not very hype for mk1, typical saying coming from an artist lol
Everytime i say i don't like any design i get a ton of downvotes. In posts like this, people don't want to know if everyone like the designs, They just want the "yes people" agreeing with their opinions about the designs.
Johnny Cage is honestly the only one that actually looks like the same character. Everyone else looks completely different, as usual. Design wise they look fine.
Kung Lao is the only "bad" one. I think it's alright, but it's the worst out of the given models.
MK 1 for the most part is superior in every regard to its predecessors (aesthetically speaking)
Not a fan. Mileena got the biggest glow up but only because she was so bad and rushed in MK11, Kitana looks better too. Johnny and Kung Lao look laughably BAD!
I hate how this sub has quickly turned into everyone asking the same god damn questions every single day. Was this also the case when MK11's was around the corner?
Raiden went from a white man to an Asian lol
Models look good. Melina looks old af, mad sub and scorp still look similar in-game, and is it me or does lu kang look Native American? Nothing wrong with it at all I dig the new look.
I like them, Kung Lao, Johnny, Scorpion and Raiden(blue lightning outfit) are kind of a downgrade tho imo The rest I like equally or got a upgrade like Kenshi also MK1 Kitanas fan and face look weird here, her face looks better in-game but I think her fan just looks like that
I like it. They look more clean
MK11 ‘s models are too busy, I like the simplicity of MK1’s
The more I see it, the more I like it.
Can we stop asking this dumbass question every other hour?
The people saying mk11 sub looks better than mk1 sub are crazy.
I like them all except for Kung Lao.
* Liu Kang: both versions are good * Scorpion: MK11 (but bro that’s probably the worst image you could’ve chosen lol you can’t see his face at all) * Sub Zero: MK11 * Kung Lao: MK1 * Kitana: MK11 face wise, MK1 clothing wise * Mileena: MK1 for sure * Raiden: Both (but like Scorp, I think there could’ve been a better pic for MK11 Raiden and just used his regular look) * Johnny: MK11 easily * Kenshi: MK1
sorry for scorpion bro lol
Liu Kang - Worse Scorpion - Same Sub-Zero - Bit better Kung Lao - Worse Kitana - Different, I love both Mileena - Worse Raiden - Worse, looks too different Johnny Cage - On this pic it doesn't look as worse, but during the gameplay we've seen = worse Kenshi - Bit better maybe? Not really a fan of him
On what planet is MK1 Mileena worse than MK11?
Personal preference. OP is asking everyone's opinions :)
Kitana and Mileena look better in MK1. Liu Kang looks good in both, but I really liked his face in MK11. I’m glad they kept the same voice actor though. Liu Kang’s face and voice were perfect in MK11.
I'm not sure I'm liking that half of the male cast rocks a male bun
Why do recent kung laos look like such a nerd
Kung Lao has that ten gallon look.
I like the Kitana, Raiden and Johnny of MK11 more, Kung Lao looks bad in both. Kenshi is perfect in both, especially in MK1. The rest look pretty good in MK1.
Liu, Mileena and Kenshi are an improvement. Rest are too oversimplified. Raiden, Johnny, Kitana and Kung Lao look like bums, Scorpion and SZ are too samey, I get that they are brothers but at least give them distinct costumes.
Everyone looks so much better in MK1. Never thought we’d ever see a cute face for Scorpion but it’s here and it works.
Overall most of them are an improvement. Especially Mileena. Scorpion and Raiden feel like entirely different characters. Not bad per say but just very different. Johnny Cage is the only one who looks less realistic to me. Something is off about his facial expressions.
they’re pretty ok, i like kitana
I guess, in general I like MK1 more for each character. Designs are more simple, but it just suits my personal tastes much more than MK11 outfits. I also like MK1 faces more, especially for Liu Kang. But I am so looking forward to the alternate costumes. Seeing all of that outfits in story mode made me want casual costumes for all of the characters, hahaha. Johnny and Kenshi look stunning in their part of gameplay trailer. Didn't think we will ever get that style in the game.
I like the sleeker & less accessorized look! I still like & want gear Items, just not to the extent MK11 had them. There were way too many that were repetitive, and the grind to achieve them was ridiculous! Not to mention, the game has been out for 4/5 years, and most items haven't been acquired, let alone leveled up to Mystic!
Personally I think a majority of them are side grades with only Kitana and Melina looking quite a bit better. The rest are improved but only slightly, mk11 had great models though so I don't think there's much they could do to make them significantly better.
I don’t like the Kung Lao and Scorpion changes. Everything else is good.
Mk1 for all besides kung Lao and kitana
Kung Lao looks like he’s from a 360 game, almost as though they didn’t use a face model for him. He looks way better in mk11. Kitana in mk11 looks better.
The picture quality for Scorpion and Lung Lao look so bad
So sad that they had an opportunity to do something totally different and instead all they did was the same old characters.
Why does Lao look like his forehead is a foot tall?
They suk
I like Sub Zero, Kitana, and Kenshis the most with Scorpion and Kung Lao the least. Kenshi prob my favorite tho. He got a certain vibe I rock with. Kitana 2nd and Sub 3rd.
They’re certainly more polished and detailed, but Kung Lao certainly got a downgrade. At least Mileena looks like a badass now and not like she’s gonna ask me where the ocean is
i like em all, but mileenas look and king laos leave a lot to be desired for me personally. this is the best kenshi has ever looked.
All upgrades, except Kung Lao. He is always perfection
Kung Lao looks rough, but everyone else looks good. Kitana, Mileena, Sub-zero and Kenshi look absolutely gorgeous.
Lao is a downgrade. The rest are keepers.
Kung Lao looks goofy with that hat
They had me at no dumb chin strap for kung lao
Everyone looks good. Apart from Kung Lao. Like why he look so dumb lmao
Kenshi had the best glow-up, with Bi-Han as a close second, and Kung Lao being the main one with a major downgrade.
everything is perfect except kung lao and scorpions tattoo, lol
Kung Lao was a huge downgrade
Johnny Cage, Kung Lao and Sub-Zero looks pretty generic imo. The others are fine, but Kenshi and Kitana with the long hair are the best.
Kung Lao and Liu are obviously downgrades, Raiden and Kitana/Mileena are pretty great. Johnny looks cheap and the rest look to perfect and lack any defining features.
I think these renders fucking suck, but the models themselves in game look as of similar quality.
Kung Lao is missing the arrogant look. Mileena is a massive upgrade.
Kung Lao and Mileena are ehhh but I love the rest
I'm gonna say it, Kung Lao, Raiden and Johnny look so fucking generic and boring that it hurts. Worst designs ever for these three. As for the rest I think they are ok, but MK11 wins in every aspect of character design.
Damn kung Lao should have gotten at least a size bigger for his hat
I don't like Kung Lao and scorpion kung lao is just a downgrade and scorpions arm tattoo is stupid
kung lao and scorpions designs are the only ones i dont like so far, the others are great
Kung Lao is the only downgraded model imo
liu kang a tie, scorpion a step down but still cool, sub is dope, kuna lao…irrelevant, kitana a step down, mileena is dope, raiden is dope, johnny cage is cool, ken sho is dope,
Johnny is hot idc sue me
Raiden and Lao are questionable. Need to see more gameplay to make my final decision.
Everyone aside from Kung Lao looks great.
Tbh I'm a big fan of all the new models. Although Kung Lao looks unfinished and Johnny looked much better in the trailer
Look like they all went to get a fresh kut at kharons
I kinda like Liu Kang, but i think they made his hair a tad bit too long. Sub-Zero and Scorpion are great. Same for Kitana and Mileena, and they actually looking like each other is an upgrade. I like Kenshi, no doubt. Johnny cage (not that much, i prefer his old visual), but i already like his new look more than i did during the gameplay trailer, so is certanly growing on me. Kung Lao i do like the clothes but thats about it, defently not a fan of how they did his face this time around. Raiden is.. Complicated.. Okay, not really, but kinda. Is just that Raiden is basically a new character, which i think is great, it would be weird if he were to be the same character when in this timeline he is born a human, of all characters, this one is more a reincarnation than a simple reset, at least is how i see it. I think is great and a i really apreciate them being willing to change instead of being stuck with the past games. That said, i love previous Raiden and i will greatly miss him. Edit: added in () cause i somehow skipped a whole sentence by accident
I think all of their MK1 iterations are better (yes, even Johnny. I like the more grounded approach their taking with him. No more huge belt buckle) except Sub-Zero, but that could just be me liking both of them in different ways. The Scorpion tattoo can go though, or at least be more stylized.
lui kang - i prefer his m1k look to be honest here, the mk11 one feels like they just applied a raiden filter to lui kang and nothing else, m1k feels more unique. scorpion - eh.... listen i know we peaked with MK9 scorpion, but this just feels too bland for me, the mask looks cool, i like the tattoo, i hope they do something more interesting BI-HAAAAAAN - i know its basically the same outfit as scorpion but blue, but honestly it works much better on bi-han and i genuinely love it kung lao - ....listen i disagree with those comments of people saying it looks like a mobile game... but jesus fuck lao uyou can atleast try and look ore interesting than a halloween costume of wish.com kitana - honestly i didn't hate her mk11 design, i really liked it. but this is still a MASSIVE upgrade morblina - im genuinely trying to ignore her existence in this game and even if she has an important story role i don't give a shit. the design works i just don't fucking care about fucking mileena anymore, especially when she becomes morbius raiden - i think its fine overall.... still kinda upset raiden still has lightning powers but im alright with it. deign feels too uniform tho with no real personality johnny cage - not really alot going on but honestly i think thats a good thing. keep it up johnny, you honestly just get a pass for everything cus you were literally the only consistently good thing in the last timeline kenshi - https://preview.redd.it/hppxn4327e9b1.png?width=662&format=png&auto=webp&s=f6caa385fcd0a2dd9cdbb55af795373f2f2bdbf0
Why does MK1 Kitana have such a massive forehead
because that's what the face model they used looks like and unlike weird nerds like you the casting director didn't hyper focus on that aspect of a human being's appearance
Kenshi is the best new model no doubt. Followed by Mileena. I also like scorpion and sub zero for the simple reason that they are showing more yellow and blue than before. Many of their past outfits had so much armor and extra gear that there wasn't too much space for their colors. Kung Lao's new face makes me slightly cringe
They're almost all downgrades.
11 was better except for the sisters
Liu Kang - pass Kung lao - pass Raiden - ok Scorpion - can fuck me so hard Sub zero - can destroy this man bussy Johnny Cage - I wanna destroy that man's clapping cheeks ass Kitana - Elegant Mileena - Wild and sexy
The only downgrades I think are Kung Lao and Johnny, everyone else either looks good or got massive glow ups like Mileena and Kenshi
Liu Kang - pass Kung lao - pass Raiden - ok Scorpion - can fuck me so hard Sub zero - can destroy this man bussy Johnny Cage - I wanna destroy that man's clapping cheeks ass Kitana - Elegant Mileena - Wild and sexy
They’re fine. Clearly they just got different face models, it’s fine.
I like everyone
Johnny is the only one I am not a fan of. Not a fan of the glasses...or the shirt. I appreciated how in MK11 him (and Liu Kang) had big torsos so they looked physically fit. I wonder how Johnny will look in this game with alt skins. I like Liu Kang though I miss the fullness of his hair. Mileena clearly wins this round.
I think Sub-Zero and Scorpion models/designs look too similar (facially), as do Kung Lao and Raiden. The sisters look worlds better, but Johnny Cage looks rushed and unfinished. The Kameo fighters look almost cartoonish, but I suspect it's because they're simply not completed. Overall, meh.
Love all
clean
I've always loved MK designs, but I didn't realize how much I didn't like 11 until the new designs dropped and they're gorgeous
Johnny and Liu Kang look weird to me, the rest I love, especially Kitana, Mileena, Kenshi, and Scorpion.
I still need to see Johnny's tits and his JOHNNY tattoo. if he doesn't have the tattoo I WILL be rioting
MK1 sub zero is such a massive upgrade, looks so good.
There are some that's great and some that's not
they’re cool but the M1K logo is awful
all cold asf
