Hopefully he's balanced this time around, i've always really liked Kung Lao but I didn't use him much in MK9 because I don't like using high-tier or OP(well, he was nerfed, so he stopped being OP) characters.
I'll probably be going with Buzzsaw. It seems like it'll be about straight forward damage and that's what I like.
Unlike everyone else, I also really like the serrated hat he has in it.
