What's new

Hello! Looking for friendly advice and people!

Hey TYM! I've never really been much of a fighting game fan, but as soon as I played MK 9 at a friends house I knew this was the one I had to dig into. The problem is that I'm a total noob at fighting games and MK in general, but I want to be able to hold my own online. I've ventured into the online realm in MK (as opposed to the Netherrealm haha), but I was quickly cowed back to offline play after being decimated by a ton of opponents. I'm not aiming to become the best MK player on the internetz (though that would be nice), I would just like to be even.

I think that my first thing to conquer (konquer) would be a character. I've completed story mode and ladder with all the toons, so I have decent knowledge of the characters, but I don't know which one to commit to and use as my main. I was hoping I could get some suggestions.
These are the characters I really like with the play time I've got: Scorpion, Ermac, Reptile, Kabal, Smoke.
These are the characters I don't mind playing as: Sub-Zero (Cyber and human), Noob, Cyrax, Kung Lao, Liu Kang, Baraka, Quan Chi, Raiden.
These are the characters I don't like: Mileena, Sheeva, Shang Tsung, Sonya, Kano, Stryker.
The ones not listed I haven't much experience with or are neutral about.

If you would like to friend/spar/help train me, my XBL gamertag is "TheHydea".

Helpful feedback in any form is greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much TYM! I look forward to increasing my skill at this wonderful game.

Welcome.

I don't know how you play so it's hard to suggest a character from the list. I would say just pick your fav, see how good you can get with them and not worry about tiers or whatever.

I was never a fan of fighting games either, until I got into MKDC. Then it progressed to the new MK. I was hooked, LOL.
