New MK Characters - Short & Stocky

Well fellow MK fans, I've read the article and took a look at the
pictures and frankly I don't this will be about as good as MK4.  I
don't think Ed & John will match MK2 this time around.

One of my biggest complaints are the proportions of the characters. 
They look like RPG characters or something!  They are mostly short and
stocky looking?  Is it just me?  All the pictures portray this and I
so hope that they are going to do some verticle adjustment thing to
make the proportions look normal.  Proportion-wise, also look at their
hands and feet, they are WAY TOO BIG!  In MK1-3 this was not an issue
because the characters were from real photography, in MK4 the
characters were proportioned fine, why this is happening in MK5 is a
mystery.  Any thoughts?

The E

PS:  Particularly Jax & Scorpion bodies, Shang's hands.

I think they added more mass to the characters for hand to hand kombat. Ed
Boon has stated that this game will be without so much projectiles and
teleporting. You have 3 different styles of fighting per character. And alot
more development  toward 3d movement....finally. Why dont you pick up a new
Game Informer and start reading.

Great to see the level of intelligence hasn't changed since the days
of MK1 postings on AGMK, anyone remember MK Kory?  He was the best,
always well written, insightful comments like Luke's below...

It's great to see losers like yourself put down the game before it is even
released.

Shang Tsung is just wearing big gloves. The weird body shapes and positions are
probably because they are moving. I bet it would look a lot better in movement.
Don't be so quick to Judge. MK4 was lacking a whole lot that this game is
supposed to have. I think it will be 100 times better
