"I still got it...but not much of it"
It will be really hard to pick a main, every character looks so unique. I will try them all out, like i always do, but i always lean towards the combo heavy characters. One of the first i'm looking forward to studying in the lab is Displacer Raiden, and i haven't played Raiden much in 9 so yep...just too much hype for this game all around lol
 

Treadmill

Champion
Sub Zero. I used to love him back in the original games, especially mk3 on my genesis. But ever since then he's been very blah to me (especially aesthetically).

This go around I like his look and I like some of his variation stuff.

None- I plan on using all the characters I used in MK9 in MKX, with the addition of Cassie
 

The Ultimate

aka CommandThrower
There's a fair amount of characters in MK9 that I did not use, but I am genuinely interested in dabbling with in MKX.

Sub-Zero
(Unbreakable), Kano(all variations), Mileena(Ravenous), and Quan Chi(Sorcerer). Jax may yet be added to this list, but we'll see.

There aren't any characters in MK9 that I didn't like per se, I just only really enjoyed playing as Baraka. MKX has made me want to play as a bevy of characters, which I consider a very good thing.

I've never cared for Liu Kang but he's looking pretty cool so far, same goes for Lao and Scorp.

I'm a lover, not a fighter
1) Johnny Cage - always hated him, but the student double one just looks like heaps of fun
2) Sub Zero - hardly played him since MK3
3) Kung Lao - Always LOVED Kung Lao, but I have never been able to play him effectively in any game. In MK9, I could hardly get a combo out and I could never complete his B+B's
4) Quan Chi - Only ever liked him in MK4. Love the look of his portals
 

Jeddite

Soul Kollector
Mines is without a doubt Jax.

Never ever was a fan, but that new trailer has me thinking of mining him.

HOLY EFFIN SHIT BATMAN!!!!
I feel the exact same. I grew up on MK, and Jax has always been a bland POS or some weird stereotype. This version is just straight in your face badass.

Its Game Over, Man
Didn't play as Kitana since I don't really go for zoning characters. Her Assassin variation, however, has caught my interest.

Honestly, I wanna give all of these characters a try.

Johnny and Liu Kang. Never liked Johnny in the older games, but his moveset and dialogue in MKX have me really interested. Liu Kang I never played in MK9 because I came into the game late and just wanted to spam Smoke resets and D1~Cutter.

Conversely, I loved Kitana in MK9 but have no interest in her MKX version. Not a huge fan of her appearance or variations, and there's a lot of characters that interest me more.
 
Mileena - Always felt she was clunky but she looks awesome and I'm eager to play with her.

Sub-Zero - Never really liked playing with him. Didn't feel I could pressure like I wanted but he looks bad ass in MKX.

Raiden - Felt far too slow in MK9. He didn't really have a good flow for me but he looks like I may be in for a shock in MKX.

RIP Smoke
Ethereal Mileena, Displacer Raiden, and whichever variation of Quan Chi that uses all the portals. They all look fun to play around with and it'll be interesting hitting the lab with them. I don't know about mains though
 

Pterodactyl

Plus on block.
Kung Lao and Quan Chi have really caught my eye.

Lao has always been cool as hell to me but I didn't like him in MK9 at all, and him being in like every other match I online until he got hit with the nerf bat made him even more annoying.

That said, the old man look, the serrated hat, and all of the mannerisms that really show off how much a of a disciplined and precise badass are really drawing me to him.
 
Kitana - I wasn't a fan of her look and usually don't go for zoning characters. I'm loving her new default costume and after playing Injustice I've started to like zoning characters, so I'm interested in Royal Storm along with her other two variations.

Kano - I like his look and I really like his Commando variation.

Mileena - I've screwed around with her before but never put a lot of time into her. Plus, it was totally the kissy lips that made her a must play.


How could anyone turn down that face?

Kano - I can't think of any character that's made such a transition from bland to badass, and he's got three awesome, distinct variations. I'm no longer in the "new main!" phase from his reveal, but I'm still pretty eager to try him.

Mileena - I always sort of saw her appeal, but she was just missing that extra cool factor for me. Now that she's got command grabs and a variation totally based on her sais, I'm on board.

Jax - Don't get me wrong, I loooooove Jax, just didn't play him in MK9 - although I probably would've picked him up at some point if I'd stuck with that game. I'm just vowing to spend some quality time with him this time around.

Kitana and Kung Lao - two characters I've always liked, but got overshadowed by other characters I just like more. The same will probably be true in MKX as well, but I still can't wait to try them out.

I like to play bad characters
Ermac & Quan Chi.

Quan looks really cool. I think he got a lot of upgrades from utility to style. He's another one no one is talking about much who might just end up being very solid in the right hands. Don't plan on maining him, but anything could happen.

A lot!

Kitana - never like her but she's so fresh in MKX
Kano - boring character that become awesome in MKX
Sub-Zero - like the char but the clone game in MK9 never got me. However, in MKX... :D
Kung Lao - too annoying to like in MK9 but in MKX he's really interesting
Liu Kang - same as Kung Lao

And I haven't seen Kenshi and Jax's gameplay.
