Question Who Do You Wish You'd Mained?

[G4S MinotaurLord]

I never regretting having Reptile and Kenshi as my mains (with about the entire cast as a secondary), but there were a few characters I went half-assed in the lab with who I really enjoyed playing thoroughly (and wished I had put more of a committment into learning):

Shang
Skarlett
Baraka
Kano (no really)

 

[Son ov Timett]

Skarlet

 

[Stew Bones]

Skarlet. I wanted to main her along side my kitana, but she is so hard to learn and get down.

 

[xInfra Deadx]

Smoke...but he was too scumbag worthy...

 

[GeoffBedlam]

Smoke...but he was too scumbag worthy...

In all seriousness, though. Smoke's arguably my favourite character. What makes him "scumbag" worthy? :S

 

[ABACABB]

No one , freddy was my only true main and he is the best from mk9 roster

 

[xInfra Deadx]

He had "resets." The exploitable kind, plus, his style didn't fit in my hands.

 

[WannabePlayer]

I wish I played some Stryker and Skarlet. I wish I was better with the original cast too, like Raiden, Sub, Scorp, Cage, etc. I still have a good local scene for MK though, so I guess it's never too late

 

[TheTetraSpirit]

I don't wish I mained anyone else.
That being said, after playing him for the last 4-5 months, I could totally see Reptile having been my main if I had picked him up early on.

 

[Chuckychuck]

Kung Lao.

At the release of MK9 KL's spin was way too strong and my sparring partner at the time was a jumpy happy grasshopper. At the time I had this thought in the back of my head I told myself this must be boring for him if I take away his only way to start offense, which was jumping, so I decided to not play Kung Lao.

Near the end of MK9 I put more time into KL and I have this vivid memory of blowing up so many jumps it's not even funny. I still laugh about it sometimes and I always wondered how different my experience with MK9 would have been had I chosen KL as a main.

 

[Jaku2011]

I stopped playing before all the DLC was out after watching a tournament there was this guy doing the sickest stuff with Rain and if I kept playing I definitely would have used him.

 

[Espio]

Everyone I wanted to main I actually ended up playing heavily during the game's life: Stryker, Jade, and Sheeva.

 

[Pho Cubic]

I wish I mained Reptile, but I couldn't do the 3 2 1~dash NJP combo consistently .

 

[Vagrant]

This one is easy.

Kabal.

 

[Gesture Required Ahead]

Though it was unfortunate that Inj dropped when I started getting into Skarlet. She just felt so right. Kind of like the way I feel about Zod now except Zod is as clunky if not worse than Reptile. All I ever wanted was a smooth character

I didn't start taking the game seriously until it was already dead, but if I played the game seriously earlier. I probably would've been a Smoke main.

 

[AZ MotherBrain]

I play Sonya and Subby. I think I would have done better with Lao or Cyrax though.

 

[Matix218]

Smoke was a perfect fit for me so no regrets.

I would like to learn kabal tho

Reptile would have worked great for you. Just as a player.

He still works very well. Actually used him at SJ against Relaxedstate to great effect. <_<>_>

Rain and smoke, I tried so hard with those characters, putting some time in practice mode, and watching tutorial,
but eventually I gave up and continue the path with sub-zero,

 

[GamerBlake90]

I used to main Smoke. Then I switched over to Sonya.

Often do I miss the days when I was primarily a Smoke player...I lost faith in him quickly after I lost at EVO 2011, only to discover months later that he's very high up the tier list. I missed out on so much salt I could've caused, so much defensive play I could've enjoyed with the character.

I mean, I played a looooooot of characters back then, but obviously they'd never be as good as my main was.

I kinda wanted to learn Reptile cuz he's the closest to a dinosaur in this game and dinosaurs are kewl . but I knew that if I used him online people would always blame lag and not be able to punish elbow dash. After a year or two of playing MK9 though, I started to just let my opponent punish me and not hold the block button after a block teleport for example because I know that if it were offline it would be punished every time.

Smoke also looked kewl and fun to play but I couldn't get used to his inputs for some reason. That and I'm also too lazy to go back and learn him.

 

[AK-Israel]

For me it would have to be Liu Kang and Shang Tsung try them out in early days of MK9,but unforunately I didn't know the combo system or the game's Mechanic so I would get me ass kick online.......them was dark days
