I've never been a fan of Mileena, in fact I used to not like her at all. She had a childish annoying personality in MK9 and she was ugly as hell. She was hot, but her face just ruined her, and I'm the kind of guy that, if I'm playing a female character, the way she looks matters a lot. But man, NRS just NAILED it this time around! It's as if everything about her is perfection now. Her new mouth, costume, variations, fatality, x-ray, winning pose... just everything! I'm seriously considering to learn her as soon as I get the game. The same holds true for Kung Lao, even though I had nothing against him before. It's just that his divekick, spin and teleport was so annoying, I think he was OP, too many tools for a single character. Now he's awesome in MKX. I liked his older appearance but most importantly, his variations. IMO he has the coolest variations so far, while two of my personal favorites (Reptile, Ermac...) didn't have that much variety, which was disappointing. Along with Mileena, Kung Lao is at the top of my list of characters that I'll learn.

Discuss.

For me it's the opposite. I played Kenshi and Lao in MK9, but in MKX I've have absolutely zero interest to play Lao again. Don't even know why, I just really am not liking him in MKX.

As far as ones I didn't like that I do now, I don't think anyone. Maybe Reptile if his nimble recharges as fast as it did in his trailer (4 seconds) but that's about it.

Mileena was one of my favorites when MK2 first came out. I remember seeing her gameplay for the first time when my father took me and my twin to the movies. I thought this new female ninja character with sais was really badass.

Then MK9 game out and made her seem silly and annoying. I didn't like her new design at all.

But I'm so happy NRS went back to the dark warrior badass like she was in MK2. I love her new look now.

Butter-face Mileena Konfirmed.

New mouth doesn't fix this issue from mk9.

I would never touch Kano in mk9. I would even back up and re-random when I would random him. MKX Kano has got me pretty hype though.

Can't really think of any... generally if I don't like a character, I don't play them no matter what fancy new stuff they have.

Maybe Sonya and Mileena? But they're just barely on the radar. lol

Quan Chi and Kano by far. But then I really dislike how johnny fights in mkx compared to mk9, specially his nut punch, it hurts me everytime I see it.

Liu Kang.
I didn't play too much with him in MK9, I like him, but now in MKX he looks 100 times better, so I'm more interested to play with him now. His variations looks incredible, my favorite is the "Dualist", I think its a very unique variation and suits him perfectly.

Liu Kang. As a diehard MK fan since MK1, I've always found LK to be somewhat boring. But, he looks like a lot of fun to play this time around. I doubt I'll main him (I'm currently trying to pick two from Shinnok, Goro, Jason, and possibly Quan Chi), but he will almost certainly get lab time. And if I fall in love with him . . . who knows.

Kano. I've never really liked his designs from past games; and his moveset from MK9 was arguably one of the worst in the game (when it comes to the design of the moves; so plain!). It didn't stop me from playing him, I mean, I would play as him sometimes, but he was no where near being my favorite. And I wasn't scared to admit he was one of the worst characters in the game.

But in MKX, that's a different story... His design fits him more, and his moves seem to be better (Cybernetic variation adds his klassic laser attack, plus new ones! He also gets special grenade combos!). To be honest, I really want to play as him for some reason; more so than some of the other character in the game, like D'Vorah, Liu Kang (I like this character, by the way), Kotal Kahn, Quan Chi, and maybe even a couple others. I'm going to be play as him on day-one, most likely. Though, he isn't going to be the first character I play as (that award goes to Sub-Zero). He might be the 5th character I play as though...

I always liked playing Kano but never found the character that interesting. So far, MKX has changed my feelings on that.

I see where you're getting at. I thought she was ok in MK2 and UMK3, and she was awesome in Deception, but in MK9 I started to hate her. I remember that 300 challenge of the challenge tower in that game, she was almost as cheap as the AI was in MK2 and UMK3, reading your every move and countering it. :DOGE I must admit that one of the reasons I disliked her is because it seemed like EVERY MK fan was obsessed with her. Some even said they wouldn't buy MKX if she wasn't in. I completely changed my mind about her in MKX though.

Dealing with the annoying AI in the last challenge tower and finding out my prize was a half naked corny mileena made it worse for me. So glad they went towards the serious warrior route with her in mkx.

Yeah, I agree. LOL That ball roll... ugh, just ugh. If the prize were at least my girl Sonya half naked, I'd be satisfied. :REO

I think they nailed it with all of the characters. All of the characters look fantastic to me, I could imagine me learning all of them.

Even Kano who I can't fuckin stand because before this he looked like some thug in a screen scrolling Beat-Em-Up RPGS like Double Dragon. Now he looks more "crime lord" with his age and such
