sexism aside a scantily clad sassy latina is super boring
This.
I don't like that particular tattoo. It looks more like a "tramp stamp" that belongs on the lower back. Definitely needs a redesign or removal altogether.
That pinstriped pants looks like something from the 70's. I would try for a different pattern scheme that fits into this decade(or millennium at least!!)

I think fighters in general do a good job of mixing up designs. Yes, there are a lot of sexy characters, but you also have you Jun's, Makoto's and Aoi's. And as I mentioned earlier, fighters like Tekken and VF now give options to customize the clothing characters where. So their stock outfit isn't all the relevant anymore. Mortal Kombat is one of the very few fighters that seems to be full throttle towards all female characters must have a sexy look.
I´m glad I´m not the only one who thinks that she is one of the best female designs in fighting games.
My favourite one being Mila from Dead Or Alive 5:
...it´s a bit weird that she is part of a series that is known for very sexualized characters. Sure, you can also get her the typical DOA bikinis and whatnot, but she really hits the sweetspot between confident, powerful and beautiful to me. I´ll be honest, she´s the reason I´ve even bought that game in the first place.
And that is not to say that I don´t appreciate sexy women in games - far from it. Most of them are just really tacky to me and in turn look more than a bad caricature and a cheap attempt to pander to my male instincts. Mila and Jun, on the other hand, are much more believeable. For instance, while Mila has big boobs like almost every other character in DOA, it isn´t the sole center of attention in her design - she looks like she is an actual person.
"If at first you don´t succeed, dust yourself off and try again." Kinda fits with a fighting game!

Her tits got bigger during the jump from concept art to the model. Seems to always happen to these Namco girls....
At least she has reasonable trousers, though.
Leo was created in t6. Killer frost and cut scene ww aside, the injustice females are more conservatively dressed than the mk9 ones. The same applies to the ki females.

Damn, I was really hoping we'd get that female Tekken soldier from that contest a while back. Ah well.
I hate her tattoo, but love her face. I also hope Namco can make the female physiques look feminine this time around. The shoulders looked waaaaay too broad on the girls in TTT2.

You know, I really wish we'd get a cool black female character with a personality like Aaliyah in Tekken.

Or maybe she's supposed to be wearing chest binders.
She's my favourite Tekken characters. But I'm a little bit disappointed that she's not flat chested. She doesn't look androgynous in a bathing suit at all. :<

Mmm, I'd call it the Naoto effect.

She definitely gets my vote as well.
Hell much like you she is why I ended up buying the game on Vita.
It's the tattoo and thong combo. It just looks trashy. Looks like my cousin who's slutyness and Latina lol.

Oh damn, I remember that.
She'd have fit right in with the DoA cast. Would have been a bit too out of place in Tekken.
I agree with you on the shoulders thing. I haven't played the game in over a year but you mentioning it instantly made me remember the frikkin' broad shoulders on the Tekken ladies.

It's Tekken tho. Always has an obscene number of alternate costumes, to the point where I'm always shocked by what new stuff they have. If you like a character in this, you can dress them up however you want.
Where did you see the in game model?
FUCK DON'T REPLACE THE QUEEN OF SASS
Ahhh I Can feel it Anna won't be in the game ~_~ This female miguel will replace here in the sass department..
If I saw a woman like that, I would faint.
How would you even maintain yourself without coming off as a fool? You can't.

Yeah, Jun's new look is one of the all time greatest fighting game character designs.

Did they use bear knuckle boxing?
Whale tales went out years ago, but that look used to be everywhere.

So she has a French fighting style, and we have no Tekken characters from France yet she's from Latin America? So we now have three Latin American characters, yet no one from France, Italy, Greece, India, hell no one from the entire continent of Africa (unless you count Zafina who Harada said is "probably from Egypt"). Or how about a Kali fighter (Jason Bourne's style) from the Philippines?
Not impressed so far.

Yeah, Mila's design is pretty awesome.
Went into the thread with a small slice of hope that it wouldn't be a scantily clad big breasted female character, but maybe something different. It would be really interesting to see an overweight or extremely muscular female character, much like how there are male characters of all body types in Tekken.
I was disappointed.

Isn't Lili from France though?

Monaco.
Nina and Christie purposefully have broader/more muscular shoulders. That was done on purpose. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been hard for them to use the same models as the other female characters that don't have broad shoulders (i.e. all the rest of the female cast).
Speaking of which.....read above.

Yes. France borders Monaco.
Latin America is not a country. Not that I don't agree that more variety = better. As a Mexican, I don't really like King yet our slot will forever be taken by him since he's a veteran. Oh well

You don't say. It's the term used in the OP, and is used to describe Mexico, Central and South American countries, along with islands in the Caribbean such as Cuba, countries mainly where Spanish dialects are spoken.

My critique was in using a fighting style from France for a character from a completely different part of the world, when we don't have a French Tekken character. But yes, also as a region Latin America seems fairly well-represented, when many other countries with unique cultures, including for instance almost the entire continent of Africa, have no representation.
I'm not impressed with the character as a whole though -- design is lazy, dressed in street clothes -- so it's not just that.
