Mortal Kombat 11 released this week for PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Nintendo Switch. And beyond complaints about the game’s progression and microtransactions, players haven’t had much bad to say about the new entry in the classic fighting series, especially about its story mode. Most agree that Mortal Kombat 11 features NetherRealm Studios’ best story mode yet. And, as you will know, when something is very good, the bad things stick out even more than normal. And unfortunately for Ronda Rousey, her bad performance as Sonya Blade sticks out like a sore thumb as a result.

One of the big Mortal Kombat 11 announcements was that Ronda Rousey would play Sonya Blade in the fighting game. At the time of announcement, there was plenty of excitement, but there was also a lot of concerns raised, chiefly about Rousey’s voice acting capabilities. And it seems the latter was justified, because now that the game has released, Rousey’s lack of experience voice acting sticks out in a story mode that is otherwise very professional and polished. And as you would expect, some players are trashing Rousey for the job she did.
Bringing in Ronda Rousey for MK11 was garbage for plenty of reasons but the way she delivers her lines like a bad Tommy Wiseau impersonation is just awful. pic.twitter.com/vE9hlJi7Zk

Ronda Rousey is “Jill Sandwich” level bad in Mortal Kombat, and took away work from a great voice actress. Go ruin something I don’t like for once

A: that Ronda Rousey is in Mortal Kombat 11
B: how bad Ronda Rousey is in Mortal Kombat 11
The worst voice actor in Mortal Kombat 11 is Ronda Rousey by a magnificently huge margin.
