    Recently the awesome, long awaited game Mortal Kombat nine has been announced and I am stoked, we are getting it in spring and it could not come soon enough! The new battle damage, eternal damage, and fatalities look perfect and awesome in everyway! The story sounds promising as well. If that was not enough looks like they are finaly going back to the original 2D fighting style (Who says 2D fighters are out of style?) and took out a LOT of un-needed characters (Meat,Kara,Shujinko, Boraicho ect.) and instead gave us a decent sized and balanced selection of characters:      
     Plus DLC characters and costumes 
     
    We also have a new tag team mode with rumored tag team finishers. 
     
    At any rate I am going to main Reptile and Johnny Cage, and maybe Sub-Zero  
          
        
        
     
    My PSN is demanding if you want to add me and my Youtube name is Shentaro, I go by Kurohige on Animevice and Tradog on Comicvine.  What are you guys most hyped about this game, and what do you still want to see. Personaly I want a better fatality for reptile, that stomach rip thing was okay I would have like it better if he vomited acid into their mouth and their mouth started burnind away as the bones in their face could be seen and then the acid burns from their jaw to their stomach spilling out all thier guts as the desolve and drop to the floor their brains leaking out. Sadistic I know.

    Well Scorpion is one of my favorite video game characters of all time so I'll probably play as him first, not sure who I'll actually use as my main though.

    Liu Kang. Hope they make it so that he's still alive. Using zombie Liu Kang from Deception/Armageddon was weird.

    Kung Lao will be my first stop, as usual, but it might depend on who gets in (Rain or Ermac would be my ideal choice!).

    I've never really got into an MK game, but this has me super excited. From what I've seen, Sub Zero seems like my type of character.

    I've always liked the ninjas (original, I know). I'll probably start with scorpion, and if Ermac, Smoke, or Noob Saibot make it in I'll probably try them as well. I've never been a big Sub Zero fan so I probably wont use him very much.

    Michael Weston from Burn Notice. I'm pretty sure he's going to be the exclusive character in the 360 version.

     I usually go by who I think looks the coolest or in the case of street fighter and tekken picking a teenage school girl and destroy the beef necks. This will be my first mk game so I haven't gotten attached to any of the characters yet, thinking about going for lizard dude or razory hat man.

    I only have very limited experience with MK, downloaded MK2 from PSN but didn't like it, played MKvsDC and had some fun, though most of the fun came from the single player, not the multiplayer. 
     
    I like Sub-Zero I guess, he was crazy annoying to my opponents in MKvsDC so I'll probably try him first. Then I'll probably shop around until I find my favorites.

    and im not sure between sonya, mileena or kitana. the girl characters are usually really fast, so who ever is the fastest while not sucking will be the one i pick

    I'm going to main the cheapest son of a bitch on the list and exploit the fuck out of him.  Mortal Kombat is all about making muthafuckers rage, and I can't think of a better way to do that.

    I already posted in this thread a month ago.  I'm going to do it again anyways.  Reptile and Mileena, because eating dudes after the fight never gets old.  NEVER.

    It truly never ceases to amaze me when people attempt to cite the Mortal Kombat series as having solid character balance.
     
    Though, I suppose you do need to have a masterful center of gravity if you've got four arms.

    well i mained kabal in umk3, and scorpion in deadly alliance, deception, and DCU. so scorpion is the obvious first pick for me. mileena will most likely be second.
     
    all of this could change when the game comes out and i invest alot of time learning the game to try and elevate myself to a tournament level player. who knows who i'll be good with who who the top tiers will be.
