Guess which characters will be used the most online

Prima Italia

Italia per sempre
I am pretty sure the top five will be in this order:

I) Scorpion
II) Sub-Zero
III) Raiden
IV) Liu Kang
V) Johnny Cage

More interesting will be who will be the bottom five.

Mortal
  1. Cetrion
  2. Sub- Zero
  3. Scorpion
  4. Liu
  5. Johnny
  6. Raiden
  7. Shang Tsung
  8. Jax
  9. Kotal
  10. Jade
Looks like we agree on 8 out of 10. You really don't think Noob Saibot will be in top 10 most played? Also interesting choice for number 1. But i really don't see any character being played more then Scorpion and Sub-Zero.

Lord of the Bletherrealm.

You're probably right about Noob.

I seriously doubt Erron Black will be top 5 or even top 10. He wasn't as popular as people think in MKX. But who knows maybe people will play him more this time.
I gave him that spot because of design more than anything.

He was popular enough in MKX for people to try him, and his 50/50s will make MKX people feel right at home. Also f4/slide and no footsies required.

I think he'll be played a lot once people figure this out.
 
Braindead characters who is designed to be easy to use in mind like scorpion, Johny Cage, Liu Kang and probably kitana, maybe some broken characters if they won't be fixed long enough.

Popularity help tremendously and will go well in combination with their gameplay assuming that's the case.

Since when Kitana and Johnny are easy to use? If by use you mean mashing the shit then all characters fit the description

Don't know about mkx, but mk 9 Kitana was explicitly designed to be easy to use according to ed boon, if i remember correctly. Some of developers anyway.


Jonhy was recommended for novice players in netherkast and this implying his gameplay design idea.


Mkx, Mk 9 Mileena for example, was relatively hard to learn on other hand, especially mk9.
She is challenging if you want high level results
