Fujin, that lame god that had useless wind powers because he had copypasted moves from other chars and had to use a random crossbow to make it up?
So lame if he makes it over Rain, Sindel, Noob in the game.
Tremor who was the lamest of lame characters and yet he made it in this game. So did Bo' Rai Cho. And somehow they actually made those characters WAY better then their previous versions (or at least Tremor, can't say much about Bo' yet).
Remember, with every character, there's potential. Fujin doesn't have to use a Divekick and Spin like Kung Lao, and he doesn't have to use a crossbow either. They can completely redesign his moveset and give him new stuff. For an example: Maybe he could focus on mobility with long, fast, and "floating" dashes and even have an air dash. As for attacks, he could use his Wind Staff (always have it, not just a variation thing) and could have long-range pokes and combos (similar to Aquaman) -- with the downside of them being unsafe on block in a lot of cases. I would imagine him being comparable to Cinder from Killer Instinct: Quick, the most mobile character in the game, has a lot of interesting options and tools, but on the down-side is very weak and "situational". He would be a character that is completely viable, but only if you have the true skill to play as him correctly.
Also, as much as I like Rain, Sindel, and Noob and I would have also liked to have seen them in MKX, I think Fujin would be the better choice in the long run because:
- He would bring something new to the table for MKX.
- It would be another redesigned post-Trilogy character, which is always nice to see (I would prefer NRS do something with them instead of killing them off, only having them as cameos, or simply pretending like they don't exist).
- He hasn't been playable since Armageddon (and even then, he wasn't very fleshed out), while Noob, Sindel, and Rain were all playable in MK9.
- He is currently the #1 most requested character for Mortal Kombat X, and has been since a few months before the game's release.
I would be fine with whoever we got out of those 4, though -- assuming that we will get post-KP2 characters. However, even if I didn't like Fujin, I still think he would be the best choice because of those reasons and the fact he would make a lot of people happy.
