by the way i filled up every poll space i couldnt fit every character.

Everyone was unique, no character in MK9 was a copy of other characters, in general everyone was unique and had beautiful things you could do with their tools until they started to get nerfed.

I'm telling you this because i played every single character for a week figuring the meta before starting using on multiplayer.

 

[Braindead]

I'm having a hard time deciding who is unique because we know how most of these characters play since MK3. If a bunch of them were knew it would be easier to judge who's unique.

But still, I'd have to say Reptile, Shang Tsung and maybe Skarlet.

Noob Saibot has a great design IMO

Noob Saibot has a great design IMO

I agree. I just wish he did more damage.

 

[KeyserSoze]

I voted for Shang. Tough call though.

 

[Barrogh]

Tough call. I'd just say that I haven't seen anything like Soul Steal in a FG yet. So Shang is at least a strong contender, but then, I'm biased

 

[SAREDODEVIL]

reptile, he has a fucking swag dash combo, also sektor ping pong combos is so fucking swag too kinda humilliating, remember Perfect legend vs gross in st marteen

Spinal had a morphing ability in the older KI games if that's what you're referencing. Not trying to start shit though

 

[SAREDODEVIL]

sonya, stryker, baraka, kano, are the less uniques. imo

 

[Laos_boy]

Quan chi and shang tsung

Jade too. Like an "anti Zoner that gets out-zoned" like how unique.

Kirby absorbs people in smash bros

Sub zero
Cyrax
Kenshi

Kabal, Sonya, and Kung Lao are hella fun and unique to play with.

 

[Amplified$hotz]

Reptile is awesome and has some of the swaggiest combos ever.
Shang Tsung is also awesome and different.
Cyrax is also very different. I never realized how unique MK characters were.
Hold dat street fighter.

 

[FiNCu]

Noob Saibot

 

[Saltea Moonspell]

1. Cyrax
2. Kung Lao
3. Skarlet

There are other ones, but those give so much gameplay wise. They are really fun to play and high level requires tight execution.
Imo that makes them very unique/complex above the others.

 

[bettyswallaux]

Voted mileena, she just plays a lot differently from the rest imo

 

[Immortal]

Kenshi... obviously. Design / looking wise - great.

True. Shang had his morph in MK, 1992. Then as a playable character in MKII, 1993. Original KI was 1994.

 

[ShadowBeatz]

Kenshi... obviously. Design / looking wise - great.

Eh, I don't see it

 

[shaowebb]

Smoke's projectile teleporting opponents above me in a hit state for me to juggle was one of the most unique and incredible things I had ever seen in any fighter ever. Its why I mained him instead of Kung Lao or Sonya. It was just that fresh a tool and I still dream to this day of ways to make it work in any other fighting game without making someone broken.

 

[Amplified$hotz]

Who do you guys think have the most unique X-Ray? I'm thinking Johnny or Quan Chi.

 

[NoobHunter420]

Kenshi w/o a doubt.
