How will you choose your main?

[ColdBoreMK23]

I'm saying I'll main Ferra/Torr now because they look cool but I'll probably end up maining someone I never thought I wiuld like Kung Lao or Sub Zero.

 

[Luke Stofan]

How is 'swaggest combos' not the top choice? I don't give a shit if it only does 10% damage. If it was hype as fuck, that's who I'm picking!

 

[MsMiharo]

Must be underused and/or shit tier. Because I'm stupid that's why.

 

[BigMilk]

I like to think my characters choose me more than I choose them. The former elder gods(fujin & raiden) have sent me a vision showing how I must pave the way (body fools)to maintain balance.

Im character loyal ever since mk3 i played sindel and ever since mk4 played tanya and from mkda nitara and frost. Ill be loyal to my characters but with that being said, looks, moves and playstyle matters too, i think ill take dvorah to lab and try her out. And without a doubt if tanya sareena or frost will be there ill pick them up!

 

[Kindred]

I used to be reptile since MK2
But Ermac kinda took my soul in MK9 so now I dont have a choice anymore. He does wield the might of thousands after all

 

[Maasik]

Basically, I find a character that looks badass with special moves / normals that look brutal.. then I main them regardless of tier or archetype. If he looks cool and has awesome looking combos, I'll play him.

Then when I get bored with that character, I move on to other interesting characters.. but I mostly just pick the ones I find badass or fun.

 

[xInfra Deadx]

In the end, character archetypes are gonna decide who i'm going to eventually main.

 

[juicepouch]

Whoever's the most fun. Helps if they have grabs and/or fun quotes to yell along with

 

[-narshkajke-]

Ice clone all the way to sunday

 

[MrSunshine]

I go by whoever makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

 

[ZeZe]

SubZ since MK1. The spell is too strong. Though I'll surely have a bite of each fighter.

 

[tatterbug4]

I'm gonna grab a zoning character that I think is GOOD and fun. He has to look awesome. I will be a loyalist with him. And I want insta airs

 

[Montanx]

I'm def in the camp that needs to try them all and see who feels right. I'm just getting into mk9 again and it's just too hard to play some guys. Yes I suck but if I play around with someone and it just doesn't feel comfortable after a few min I get discouraged. Like if it takes me hard thinking and memorizing to do a long complicated b123 dash special f321 f321 type combo, how am I going to pull it off in a match reactively? Basically means I can only play scorpion...so hoping mkx is better.

 

[LiangHuBBB]

I prefer characters that are either military based ( Guile, Rolento, Deathstroke ) or a Shaolin lol
so ye Kung Lao, Kano or Jax

 

[JTB123]

GET OVER HERE!

It's all about Scorpion, no matter what. People are going to confuse me with a plastic surgeon because of all the face lifts I'll be handing out.

Get it? His fatality, cuts off your face, face lift? Plastic surgeon? right????

Relevant.

The funny thing is he doesn't even really follow that anymore. Granted, I'm sure he's not as serious with SFIV as he originally was.

 

[Magnum Magpie]

as of now it has to be kitanna just on how she looks and how bad ass she sounds, amend or ferratorr

Marvel 2 would be the better example though.

 

[Barrogh]

I've noticed that I prefer to wait for opponent to come and then try to react correctly to what he does. As a result, as low-level player, I ended up sticking to mostly Raiden (who could bait some of more half-arsed zoning/pressure attempts and reverse with teleport) and a tiny bit of Sub (yes, I do know that he has to be more proactive, but again, I'm a scrub ).

Yeah, making things happen, initiative - those aren't something I'm good at both IRL and in games, so yeah

Even though I used characters less suited for that during my short IGAU time, I still mostly tried to play the game of waiting for people to screw up.

So, if this trend of mine stays, I should probably call that "archetype loyalist", but potential diversity of ways to punish stupid shit make me interested in many characters and variations already. A bit of defensive play and zoning is what I will probably check out first.

 

[LordBison]

I picked character loyalty because that is how I roll but......I would say whoever spews the best gibberish......along the lines of WOOLAY!.....So really, only that one man.
