Finally Netherrealm realizes every good fighting game needs hot ladies.
Truth be told, I've never been much of a fan for Netherrealm's games. It seems they don't have a sense for showing off fan service or sex appeal as much as they do showing off gore or sausage fests. In fact, it's pretty much a given that female characters in NR games like the Mortal Kombat series are mannish and rather unattractive. Well, thankfully some sense seems to finally be making its way into these devs, as lately they've been fixing their female characters to look GOOD. Not great yet, mind you, but at least they look good.
Yesterday, they released this sexy 'Here come the ladies' trailer for Valentine's Day, showcasing a femme fatale foursome of DC not-damsels. The fighters include the aforementioned Poison Ivy, Catwoman (who was in the previous Injustice), Black Canary (who had her own trailer) and, surprisingly, The Cheetah.
Now, coming into this I had high hopes for Dr. Pamela Isley, AKA Poison Ivy. She has often been portrayed in the past as a barefoot Nature Goddess, dressed quite skimpily in leaves and going down-to-earth with no footwear. Unfortunately, the NR devs have gone with the more vampy version, having a more manufactured costume and boots with heels. Bummer!
But as if to balance out this disappointment, lo and behold we get a sexy, savage barefoot babe in the form of the feral Cheetah. Thankfully, they held back on making her too much of a furry, and her hand and feet are perfectly human except for the slightly sharper nails. The outfit is a skimpy, jungle girl look and I have to say I am digging her acrobatic moves and animations. I'm a footfan, not a furry fan, but Cheetah is definitely hot, from head to toe to voice. She's certainly enough reason for me to look forward to this superhero brawler.
Now, I'm not giving up entirely on Poison Ivy- I am still hoping that there will be alternate outfits to give her the barefoot, au natural look footfans know and love. And perhaps there will be other barefoot babes to come in the future for this fighting game? We'll wait and see. For now though, color me hopeful for this game's release in May.
Giantesses are awesome. Barefoot giantesses are Out of this World Awesome. Any barefoot fan would no doubt just stand slack-jawed in amazement if a gigantic, beautiful and barefoot babe stepped in front of him, her huge and perfect feet the size of a truck before his eyes. It's our object of titillation magnified many times over and surely the pleasure of seeing them would be thusly augmented as well. As giantesses go, one name is easy to come to mind- Giganta, from the DC Comics Universe. She's the red-haired vixen in the ripped yellow dress/outfit, bare-handed and barefoot save for some groovy anklets or bracelets. The more mature among us will probably remember her appearances in the Superfriends cartoons. I have to say that her incarnation then left a lot to be desired- she was a bit mannish and built like a fridge, but she was still attractive at least. She was a lot sexier in the comics, as seen in the sample page above.
This barefoot vixen has long been a villainess in Wonder Woman's rogue's gallery, but unfortunately her appearances are relatively rare (but to be treasured if you find them) but full of great foot shots, as this giantess' favorite tactic is to crush her enemies beneath her enormous bare soles. For the most part though, she's easily dispatched, often knocked out by a flying superhero or some clever giant-killing tactic. Man, just thinking of her lying unconscious all over a street, her huge, unconscious bare feet before me makes me feel all a-tingly. Heheh.
Sadly we've rarely really seen Giganta in full glory; irritatingly her design has even been tampered with to make her wear shoes- both in the Justice League Unlimited cartoons and some comics. Thankfully though, she's been returned to her barefoot jungle girl appearance as of late.
Even better, she appears in the just-released Superman Batman: Public Enemies movie! Her appearance is short but oh, so sweet... with a truly wonderful sole shot and subsequent knockout. Too bad she suddenly vanishes afterward... the animators could have at least showed her unconscious bod in the background of the rest of the battle... oh well. Still, it's an awesome moment that makes this new DC movie worth watching for foot fans. Check it out here!
Now, Giganta may be a villainess, but she's surely not irredeemably evil... or at least, she's a woman who'll surely appreciate being worshipped for her larger-than-life beauty and totally hot feet and soles. What we'd all give surely to touch those gargantuan tootsies. Hopefully she'll let us kiss or even hug her huge toes and rub her soles, and perhaps even give those who love insoles a loving (and non-fatal) press. Let your GTS fantasies run wild. Enjoy!
Plus, as a bonus, here's a short but really sweet GTS clip from the Keroro Gunsou (Sergeant Frog) anime. Mmm... why do frogs get squished by sexy barefoot babes so often?
