Bleh, not buying this one, I seriously dislike the sexism of the developer.
Developer said they changed the outfits because they have matured and now they want to respect women. Meaning they've been disrespecting me for the last 10 installments.
I think the new outfits look ok, not like something a fighter would wear, but they look pretty cool. I just dislike that statement a whole lot
Pretty insane mental gymnastics to justify not getting a game because the developers said they want to make right on past mistakes but alright

I disagree, benevolent sexism is the kind I dislike the most. They are holding women to a standard men are not held to. Shao kan is wearing shorts shoulder pads and a helmet, totally okay, Johnny cages shirt wardrobe got blown up in the past and now buying new shirts cause him PTSD, totally okay. Melina likes to show some cleavage, how dare she, clearly no respect for herself.
See how this logic is not cool? Oh, and leave the high heels on for good measure, because our new "respectful and realistic" approach involves high heel fighting, the 1 thing actually really stupid about the costumes.
Go watch some UFC fighting, then come back. They don't fight in a bra and shorts because they want to show off, there are tons and tons of chokes and throws that only work on someone wearing clothes. There is nothing saying you can't wear a gi in a cage fight, the reason people don't is because the opponent will grab you by the collar and hit you with the planet.
not a fan of her new idle stance but other then that and the claws being out all the time she looks really good.

people in the UFC don't tend to fight to the death and fight monsters from hell either, not to mention almost all characters have weapons on them as well.

she makes me wish i was actually any good at fighting games so id have more reason to play.
If you were fighting to the death, no rules, you'd wear the absolute minimum and cover yourself in oil. You need gambeson chain or plate to stop a slashing weapon. And also, is Johnny cage not fighting to the death? How about Shao Kahn? Or is it only bad when us women do it, because clearly we are inferior to the manly men so we need more protection? Johnny will deflect the weapons with his pecs?
So should swat be just abunch of oiled up guys with gambeson chains? other then mileena baraka and i guess the khan's no one in mortal kombat has a reason to be running around in there silly old costumes.
johnny cage is also a horrible example as he looks like this now,

that's pretty much my plan as well.
If swat was only fighting hand to hand, 1 on 1, no guns, yes, they wouldn't wear shirts, this is the reason why

This is a gi throw, it doesn't work if you take your shirt off.
Also, don't lie, Johnny cage has at least 2 topless skins, so clearly there is sexism going on here.
