Characters you want to main, but can't?

CURBOLICOUS

Cage ban wagon?
Before the game came out, there were five characters I wanted to main. Those characters were Scorpion, Sonya, Kung Lao, Liu Kang, and Raiden.

I quickly took well to Scorpion, Sonya, and Raiden, although Scorpion was soon put to the side as a utility character while Sonya and Raiden would go on to become two of my best players.

As for Kung Lao...I couldn't garner any interest in him whatsoever. He felt so awkward to me. Perhaps I'll give him another chance soon.

With Liu Kang, I find I get poked out of my rushdown quite a bit. I can zone well with him, but often I get my attacks blocked when I try to start up pressure.

You log on to your YouTube account and go to the Video Manager option. Check the box next to the video you want to delete, then hit the arrow next to Action and you should have the Delete command there.

Ermac has the best voice, I think Kabal gave you some of his crack.

Ermac? lol. He tries to sound cool by saying we and all that shit. For a guy with thousands of souls he's pretty weak. His voice makes me sleepy. Kabal's is badass. I also like Bi-Han's voice whether as Sub or Noob.

The only morality in a cruel world is chance.
I want to main Kung Lao, but I'm afraid I would become so unbelievably bad ass with him, that I'd be raping people left and right like there's no tomorrow, until boredom overwhelmed me due there being no challenge. I'd eventually find my way back to Noob Saibot.

I made kabal my main the day I picked him up <.< A month later I have everything down. Match up experience is the only thing I'm lacking but I'm getting a good amount of that now. I still don't know why people have trouble picking him up. Maybe its meant to be. I tried showing the locals but they give up because its too hard.

From the characters I know, I would want to main Either Kung Lao or Mileena.
The only way I'd main Kung Lao is if I can be rush down 100% and be effective with it. I feel like playing KL at his fastest would be so fun.
Mileena is just meh. I need to sit down with a mileena player go over a few things. I have my own mix ups and such (ex:the thread I made earlier is one of them) but I never practice it at casuals because I'm too focused on kabal. I want my kabal to be the best it can be for only picking him up for a month and playing competitively since late december. I am hoping to prove myself at Flawless Victory. There are a lot of big names going.
I feel like an asshole playing Raiden because I know how to use the teleport effectively more than most I've seen. Lacking footsies with him is my biggest problem.

I'd want to learn shang so I can motivate myself to learn the entire cast. I will do that after April.

To those who don't pick Kitana....

...you have to born with the Kitty's call in your heart.

Every Kitana has to be a day 1 Kitana. Anything else is considered treason by the Edenian Constitution.

Kabal. Nothing is more exciting than watching REO s kabal. I think i like watching him play because I cant do anything he does with him.

Raiden. I can't play the way he needs to be played, and he feels so damn slow.

With Liu Kang, I find I get poked out of my rushdown quite a bit. I can zone well with him, but often I get my attacks blocked when I try to start up pressure.
You and every other Liu kang player I'd guess. He was my main for awhile but blah. If you prefer his zoning, I'd recommend using a lot of F12 pressure and just finish the string with the last 1 every once in awhile to keep them from getting poke happy. Sends them full screen, but its where you want them anyway.
