If MK9 is any predictor, a day-one choice isn't necessarily a main.. Everyone has to try various characters against other great players and see what happens, and tech has to evolve. Also people that played a less-than-day-1 build will have to adjust to the patching.

So I'd say, just wait and see what happens. Otherwise REO would still be playing Mileena and CD Jr. would be playing disappointing characters that shall not be named :D.

I have gone from being mildly interested in Superman (I think hes a boring character) to greatly interested in him now that he's claimed to be bad. No offense to Death but I want to prove him wrong :p I still plan on just trying out a lot of chars at first and coming to my conclusions but character people claim are bad normally makes me more excited to use them.

Actually the first footage I saw of actual players having a set in MK9 was a pre-release youtube video of REO using Kabal vs @Dark Rob using Reptile. So there :p

But yes I agree, I mean personally in MK9 the first week I played like 6 diff chars. Unless you are really attached to lore I don't get the point of picking a main pre-release or even a week into the game or so.

In my opinion the "top" players who tested the game will be hollywood at first since they have more experience, maybe win a major and feel themselves over it, and as time goes by some of them will become washed up and people outside of the "MK Community" like SF4 and marvel players will become the new hollywood and talk shit.
Ok.

Where's TJ Combo?
Im not a top player but I will main one of the best zoners so maybe GL or Sinestro, one of the best rush-down Flash or Batman( or anyone better) and a super defensive char. so I will be maining 3 chars for diff styles and counter styles.

just to let everyone know: Me Denzell, and possibly Dab and Flawed will be going to UFGT9!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, and we'll be playing injustice and mortal kombat. Now a lot of characters look very good to me and i'm hoping this game keeps a fairly good balance as well, I will be maining Deathstroke, but other chars that could become my main are batman, black adam, doomsday, and shazam, maybe raven too. Also mark my words: I will only be playing a max of 3 characters in tournament/ plan on being completely loyal to one main in tournament, so that will be something of a change for me bcuz all of you know me as a character specialist, but i'll try my best to stick with one. GGA 16 Bit, show vegas some of that GGA welcoming, we want to play a bunch of casuals with yall.

I think it'll be pretty cool to compile an actual list of what the top players will "main" day one to then be able to compare it with who they are actually playing 6 months from now.
I'm doing something similar to this. I'm going to make 3 charts. The first will be made on day 1 after I try every characters specials and normals. The second will be done after the first major and a final chart somewhere after a year during a critical moment like an EVO or something. I will also make a top 10 and state why I think the character is there, lol. That should be funny looking back on.

You coming to UFGT9? First to for Best Supamanz Eva.
Lol nope sadly. I claimed the super title way back since last year at evo when I first saw him come out in that awesome intro :p

Compbros CCVengeance do you guys have online? I was actually gonna ask you guys when the game came out but might as well do it now. I wanna share some super things and maybe do a guide too for him?

I've got PSN.

And Supes belongs to me, there will be no dispute when I take both UFGT and VxG with him.
