I hope the vita version retains the bounciness of the ladies as seen in the commercials. Maybe there's an even better prize than Mileena's bandaged costume after completing the challenge towers on this version.

Oh God I hope you're being sarcastic...

I certainly hope I'm not.

So "unrealistic breasts" and "blatant objectification of women" are two selling points for you in video games?

They're not selling points. The gore and violence are what's most compelling. But, the enhanced figures and ladies who want to show it off are a plus. The breasts aren't unrealistic since they seem to be on a real lady. They're unnatural, just like a ladies hair or fingernail extensions might be. There's no objectification. This game is as if not more respectful to ladies as Skullgirls is. It's not like they went through an elective surgery to put $5000 on their chest on a whim and just happened to get this job by accident while they were studying for their degree at Wellesley College. They're just following in the tradition of whoever hosts "hot for words" or "japanese word of the week".

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand I give up. Thanks for playing.

Then why did you even start?

I will never not love the K spelling skeme. I know it's old and kind of dumb, but it's also awesome.

MAN, though, 60 FPS on the Vita screen looks somehow SUPER JARRING.

Everyone will be too busy in their Wake-Up Clubs to play this.

Wow, a skin that makes Rain's head disappear and then reappear at random intervals? TAKE MY MONEY!

For some reason it always looks washed out! Low contrast.

Is it just me or does this game look awful on the Vita? But hey U/MK3 is pretty awesome so alright.

I was thinking that too. The backgrounds look alright but the character models are rough.

@Shaanyboi: The MK1 styled ones were but the UMK3 versions are new. I wouldn't be too surprised to see those pop up as DLC on the consoles at a later date.

I hope so, The UMK3 ninja outfits were my favs.
