[@HHShetland] Sonya is one of the best characters for fundamentals who are for aggressive and defensive players.

I'll take your word for it since I'm largely ignorant about these sorts of things. :V

I'll admit that I've never been a huge fan of Sonya, though for reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with gameplay. Her kiss-poison-dust attack has always bothered me, especially. I mean, she's supposed to be a no-nonsense SpecOps officer, so why the kissing dust? I understand that when she debuted it was back before female characters in fighting games were commonplace so it sort of made sense that, as the token woman, she was given a stereotypically 'feminine' attack (plus, it was a different time), but nowadays it just seems weird to me. It'd work a lot better on, say, Mileena.

That being said, I think her appearance in MKX is a massive improvement from the looks of things, since she actually uses military hardware this time (I don't even know if she still has the kiss-dust attack in that game). That, and her costume is significantly better.
