Yeah, I've looked at the stats a bit and saw he's not rated well
I was really surprised to see he was rated so poorly for UMK3, but things change over time.
I understand Kitana and Mileena are rated a bit better. I used them a lot back in the day, and I've found some of the old skills are translated to MK9, particularly with Mileena.
I lived on Misawa airbase from 1994-1998. My mom was a teacher and got a job on the base out there. There was a bowling alley next to the school that had the MK arcade games, so I got to play during lunch and after school, lol.
