[Luke Stofan]

Everyone

I'm not even going to play this game

Then why bother replying?

 

[Wemfs]

Sonya with the most votes. Can't say I'm surprised.

Reporting everyone who said Ermac.
The correct answer is, "I wish I could play Ermac, but I am not worthy."

[SCMunnerlyn1]

Ferra/Torr
Jacqueline
Jax
Kenshi
Kunglao
Tanya

 

[Perdition]

Is it weird that I love every single vote for Tanya since I plan to pick her up early on if she is viable? She is flying under the mainstream hype radar, and it pleases me. Totally overshadowed by the other Kombat Pack characters.

Knock yourself out, sir.

Erron Black... I was hype for him till I saw hes move set, then I hated him, Mileena (for obvious reasons), Kung Jin hes move set looks too similar to green arrow and I didnt like green arrow.

And many others if people do not see the matchup often. Gameplay could change hype levels, of course. I find it interesting that she isn't getting anticipation like she would have in the past. I remember a huge following for Tanya once upon a time.

What are the "obvious" reasons against Mileena for you? That Kitana bias?

 

[MioTenacious]

Sub Zero and Scorpion... jk haahahah hmm Kitana and Sonya , i dont really care about them. I would like to have oppoments playing with these but not my style . I never care about female chars to be honest

 

[Peckapowa]

Sonya with the most votes. Can't say I'm surprised.

I think her role as mk9s token op braindead batch has something to do with it.

 

[Lucky_623]

The votes are getting pretty solid!
Will be posting the follow up question tomorrow!

 

[That__John__Guy]

Kung Lao: I know he's great in MK9, a big part of the story, and I'm cool with the personality. I just can't get past the hat. Not wearing it, but using it as a weapon. It's subjective and maybe irrational, but even if he was S+++ tier, I can't do the hat-weapon. I get it, he's cool, and I love the Ip Man thing, but I'm just not digging the Oddjob hat.

Jason: It is hard to be interested in someone with literally no personality. He doesn't talk. He doesn't do much but butcher campers. Freddy at least had personality. D'Vorah might be an insect and Reptile is a, well you know, but they at least talk and do stuff. Jason doesn't do much but butcher and maybe photosynthesize. I can't relate. What are the f--ing intro dialogues going to be like? "You have trespassed into the Emperor's Realm, prepare to die!" "Tch tch tch... ka ka ka...." No offence to Jason fans, just not for me.

Raiden: Just not a big fan, though I wanted to be. "God of Lightning" has so much promise, but he just seems to be lame so much of the time. Lame in the game, lame in the movie, lame in the comic. Maybe Story Mode will change my mind, but for now: no interest. Sorry Raiden fans, but just not for me.

Honorable Mention: Shinnok's Necromancer variation. Wow, those little dainty skeleton hands do not look cool to me. Shinnok looks a lot better than earlier incarnations, Count Chocula hat notwithstanding, except the skeleton hands. Maybe if they made them bigger, like Skeletor had big hands, idk.

I want to add that I am thrilled with what I have seen of MKX overall and don't want to come off like I am not excited or a h8er. I think there have been a lot of improvements overall and there's plenty of revamped characters that have piqued my interest. This thread did ask what we aren't liking, so there it is.

 

[Ares_Supreme]

I don't understand this thread.

We don't really know how any of the characters feel, and many characters we literally know nothing about their gameplay, but are already deciding that we have 0 interest in them. Based on what? I don't get it. I tried every single character in MK9 thoroughly before deciding that I would never use Sheeva/Baraka/Kano -.-

It is a fun thread to opinionate and speculate about pre-release, also good to come back a few months after launch and get a good chuckle about. All in good fun and hype man.

Yes Im a Kitana player so I wont touch her evil sister.

 

[GeoffBedlam]

I take back what I said about Jax. dat fucking powerbomb doe

Sonya still doesn't interest me, though

 

[Nymesis]

I'm not hyped to use Ferra/Torr or at all, but I got a feeling they are going to be the best character for me to use happens every single fighting game I play...

 

[xWildx]

You know, I went into the stream today expecting to get hyped up for Sonya, but after having seen her..... eh. She just doesn't look very flashy to me, and I was hoping for some form of "pink lantern" variation so that left me a bit disappointed.

I can't wait to see what people do with her though. Her drone setups look like they could cause quite a few headaches and someone who masters her counters would be terrifying to go up against.

 

[Sultani]

lol Green Arrow.

 

[PANDEMlC]

Kung Jin, Cassie, Mileena and Jacqueline are probably the main characters I have little to no interest in. Liu Kang and Erron are close to being noteworthy because of their designs but Erron has sparks of interesting mechanics and I don't know a thing about Liu Kang in this version, I just find him to always be dull in any MK game.

Some people don't care about gameplay to play dislike a character. If i don't like how a character looks or don't like their personality i wont play that character.

I'm not going to use
Sonya
Jax and daughter
Kano
Ferra/Torr - don't like huge characters.
Ermac - I love him but i cant stand the floaty stance characters in Injustice.
Guest characters - Hate guest characters in fighting games.

 

[That__John__Guy]

I'm less than stoked about Sonya and her drone variations. It doesn't really seem to fit my idea of Sonya. I almost feel that Sonya and Cassie should be switched. Younger people are cooler with new technology so it would make sense. It would almost make Cassie more of her own unique character, a fresh mechanic for a fresh character. Why would mature Sonya have some of Cage's moves? Well, they were together, so she learned some moves. Instead it seems like, "well, Sonya's older, so she needs to lean on drones." I'm not opposed to the drone mechanic in the game, I think it is an interesting idea. Adding something kind of new into MKX is cool. It just doesn't seem that Sonya to me and not really interesting me to play it much. Maybe I'll feel different once I play it.

 

[ProudDisciple]

The characters that I honestly don't have any interest in are Ermac, Goro, Shinnok and Quan-Chi.
I just don't care for their playstyles and movesets based on what Ive seen.
