Oh i do not blame you for disliking the female designs or any of the designs besides the ninjas before 10. Not gonna pretend that MK outside of 1, 2, 3 and 9's combat was nothing other than shlock. My perception on the visual design being interesting is based on 10 and 11.I personally really like MK character designs for the most part. Especially 10 and 11.
Pre -10, I disliked all the female ones really, haha.
My beef with MK is I feel the proportions on the characters look weird. I think the legs are too short on most everybody.
Even though it is way better now, mk11 still looks stiff to me when it animates . The follow though feels off.
And I can sort of understand the body complaint. Its why characters in SF , Tekken look mad big with big appendages, its a gameplay function for that and a visual thing. I don't think their limbs look bad, I just think they look normal in MK and that's looks hella weird next to everyone else. Even smash when you hit shit makes you limbs larger to identify shit
