she looks more "supermodel" and less "lady warrior who is able to keep up with superman in a fight" in that image.

that's the thing about female comic characters that has always bothered me. These strong warriors look likey are about to hit the runway rather than fighting powerful villains to save the world.

i guess it's all about sex appeal in the end, but at least with lois land and mary jane is that they can look like supermodels and it would make more sense because they aren't super strong commando warriors.

Wonder Woman just looks plain ugly. I don't care if she is muscular but man her face is just too much.

This. I have no problem with her having muscles; hell, my favorite WW design is her in New Frontier, where she's even bigger than Superman. If anything, I prefer WW with muscles.

Doesn't change the fact that Injustice's WW is ugly as fuck. You can give a character muscle definition and size and still have them be attractive.

 

[J-Tier]

Any real life examples you can provide?

That jawline. Too manly. You should know that there are many face types in humans, it's genetic. There are even men with more "feminine" faces, however common/uncommon that may be.

PS. I'm not going to actively hunt for someone who perfectly fits that WW profile. That would be too absurd to prove a point that is common sense.

 

[AlexBasch]

Just lost my first fight after beating Batman. I just had defeated Wonder Woman, a weird "WAGE" bar showed up, pressed a button and I lost the battle.

What?

 

[Khezu]

WW looks awful. its an artistic and animatior choice because shes looked good in other pieces of media/games

for the most part netherrealms just cant make women. Look at sonya blade? awful.

Sonya has pretty manly chin in 9, but aside from that, she is looks normal, Diana though... I don't know, she seems bad even for NRS usually standards.

 

[Lost Fragment]

WW looks good sometimes and looks bad at other times.

The thing that bothers me the most though is dat long ass neck.

WW in this demo is a *LOT* uglier than the girl in the video you linked.

We all realize there are multiple face types in humans, no one is disputing that. But you can also make generalizations on what's attractive or not. And just look at the other responses in this thread for a good indication.

For example, if say 90% of people think someone is ugly, then guess what... that person is ugly. It's a generalization, but it's valid when there's such a huge majority swing.

Just because there's one person out there who may think otherwise, doesn't make that a "valid" majority opinion.

I think they need to like change her intro animation, that is when I notice her crazy giraff neck the most.

When she is just floating around like an asshole or in her wining animation, it doesn't bother me as much.

I'm disputing the "manly" arguments bro. You can call a person ugly all you want, people say the same about women many consider beautiful-- eye of the beholder etc etc. It's about as shallow of an argument, but that doesn't bug me as much as the "she looks manly" arguments.

NR are really hit or miss with women. The worst was Katana when she took off her burka face mask. Went from hot and mysterious to what the fuck get it away from me. I guess they are good at creating bodies, but faces, and features not so much.

 

[dan2026]

Hell Batman looks pretty awful to me in this.

His costume looks like some sort of over-complicated armored crap.

 

[Papercuts]

The move list shows frame data for every move, even hit/block advantage. Nice!

 

[TEJ]

here's the thing

why does wonder woman need to be pretty?

why do any video game female warriors need to be pretty?

They get into rough and tumble situations, are seasoned warriors, probably have tons of bruises and scars etc etc etc. They should care more about survival rather than looking like cindy crawford.

 

[AlexBasch]

I was gonna ask questions about the demo but this will turn into a WW/female representation/Anita Saarkesian thread, right?

Because she is (more than) pretty in the media from which she comes?

To people that have played the demo - how does this compare to MK 2011?

Missed your post. I'll give it a watch.

P.S. I don't like how Batman looks, the costume is okay but he looks slim as hell.

 

[Data West]

Sindel looked fine.
fine

 

[Parallax Scroll]

Of course the most important thing about women who fight supervillains is how sexually attractive they are, everyone knows this

 

[ReiGun]

Yeah. Wonder Woman is supposed to be pretty. One of her gifts was "the beauty of Aphrodite," after all.

It's not a really big deal. I'm gonna play her regardless - favorite DC character and all - but it is what it is.

 

[Khezu]

Sindel looked fine.
fine

Well Sindel is weird, she actually looks better with the manchin, she really pulls it off.
Sindel is just awesome in general, shame she exploded.

Here is what Hector has to sat about WW

lol Lost beat me, still funny.

 

[LuuKyK]

 

[RobotRocker]

I think Hector just broke a few stream monsters minds with that one.

 

[Dahbomb]

Well Raven is even worse than WW.

 

[Chamber]

Hell Batman looks pretty awful to me in this.

Every character in the game looks awful. These are some of worst designs of DC characters I've seen.

 

[ReiGun]

Killer Frost and Ares looked fine in those renders posted in the other thread. Superman and Harley look decent.

Beyond that...yeah. These designs are bad.

 

[GhostRidah]

Well Raven is even worse than WW.

I agree, damn horrible.

 

[PAULINK]

Interesting demo, didn't even realize this was a fighting game until like a month ago.

My only question is, why does Batman sound so boring? His "Stay down" line sounds like he's not even interested!

 

[Khezu]

Well Raven is even worse than WW.

Raven doesn't really look NRS ugly though, she is more ugly ugly, like that was their intention.
I guess to play up her evilness in the story, along with her weird demon voice.

It looks like they modeled her after the wicked witch of the west.

 

[Papercuts]

Not feeling batman too much but lex and Wonder Woman are really fun, especially lex. What's up with the wager mechanic?

 

[RobotRocker]

Well Raven is even worse than WW.

Eh, they have a reason in that her cheeks become more sunken and emaciated while she's possessed by Trigon, so she's supposed to be kinda fugly and her alts that have been seen are much better looking and have the face look a lot more normal.

So yeah, ugly. But cannon ugly rather than UE3 "I thought we knocked this shit off in 2009" ugly.

 

[Khezu]

Not feeling batman too much but lex and Wonder Woman are really fun, especially lex. What's up with the wager mechanic?

It's basically a burst with meter gambling.
Winner gets health or does damage depending on if they were attacking or defending.
The amount of health/damage is dependent on the amount of meter you bet.
I think you can get around 30% health if you bet all your meter.

 

[Parallax Scroll]

Not feeling batman too much but lex and Wonder Woman are really fun, especially lex. What's up with the wager mechanic?

It's a variation on the Breaker from Mortal Kombat. When someone is comboing you, you can break out of the combo (I'm not sure what buttons you hit, probably Meter Burn and something else) and go into a "clash" mode. Then both players decide how much meter they want to "wager" on the clash. Whoever spends the most meter wins the clash. If the defending player wins they get some life back. I think if the attacking player wins the combo does extra damage.

 

[TDLink]

With the Clash keep in mind that each player only gets one per battle and you can only activate yours once you are on your second life bar.

The demo build is a few months old. The game coming out next week has a lot more refinements.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but man if I had a dollar for everytime someone said that on this forum.

I've heard this from many different people now. The demo build is apparently a good bit older than the one they had at Pax

Art said in his video that Batman's trait attack is a lot more broken in the demo than in the final game.

 

[GhostRidah]

I agree, its like they made them awful on purpose so they can sell the good character alts and make bank.

 

[hayabusachop]

OOKKKKAAAYYY!!! Wonder woman looks like a guy!!! Moving on!!

 

[SkyTurnsRed]

Usually it's defense force for the game in question not being very good. I haven't played this yet, so I can't say, but from experience...

Demo just went up on PSN fyi. You need to search to find it.

The alt skins they show int he demo look pretty ugly too.

Most the MK alt skins sucked too.

Except Smoke's because he didn't look like Gary Busey

Really? wow way to miss a lucrative opportunity.
