My old-faithful has always been Subzero, but as of MK9 I've gotten quite proficient with Smoke!

I like Noob Saibot and Smoke a lot. I've never been much of a Kano fan but for some reason I'm liking him in this one.

I like Ermac and Kabal.

I like Kung Lao best so far. In the past I used to always play Jax or Reptile but I suck really badly with Jax and I don't like reptiles new design, I am totally going to buy his alternate costume when I can.

Stryker and Sub-Zero for me.

Let's see, with MK1; my guy was Scorpion.  When MK2 came out, I played Kung Lao exclusively.  And when MK3/UMK3 came out, my fighter of choice was Kabal/Ermac.

I'm still deciding, but so far it's probably Noob, Lui Kang and Scorpion.

Smoke and Ermac for me.

Johnny Cage by far!!! :)

Mileena, Jade and Cyber Sub Zero.

This new game seems more interested in you being good with around 5 characters rather than really good with just one. But so far I REALLY like Sindel, Smoke, Cyrax, and Nightwolf.

Scorpion then Human Smoke but I do love all the ninjas and cyborgs.

I'm liking Liu Kang and Johnny Cage right now.

Kung Lao and Reptile for me.

I like Sektor but I'm pretty bad with him. I'm getting quite decent with Liu Kang and Ermac. 

I am really into Sonya right now. Got a 30% combo down to a tee now!

I like Reptile a lot

I'm digging Ermac, Kabal, Smoke, and I'm pretty good with Scorpion and Johnny Cage.

Smoke

i like Sindel, sub-zero and Kitana

I like Jax... I think I must be the only Jax player in the whole god damn world... I also like Kabal.

There was a thread on this literally yesterday.


Anyway, Scorpion.

I like Kabal the best right now, his X-ray is pretty easy to set up with his dash that spins your opponent.  

Ermac is fun as hell to play.  

" Ermac is fun as hell to play.  

And I'm a little surprised with all the Smoke players.

I've definitely got Nightwolf in there, and am now experimenting with Sektor, Baraka, and Kabal.

Sub-Zero and Kung Lao have been my favourites since the original games.

Right now, Reptile. been practicing some (easy) combos and liking it. I'll probably try playing Stryker a bit more once I've unlocked everything, maybe some Jade as well.

Sonya. Always has been. Always will be.

Noob Saibot cause he looks the coolest :P

Sub-Zero!

I really dig Cyrax. It was the first character I finished the arcade mode with. Also Smoke.

Sub-Zero has always been my go-to fighter. Cyrax is my runner up - setting up traps with bombs and anti-air/spinning blade is always fun to pull off. Liu Kang is slowly turning into a favorite.

Smoke, Reptile or Kabal. 

Mainly Sonya, but since finishing the story, I've found I quite like Jade, Stryker and Kung Lao too.

Kung Lao, Nightwolf, and Reptile.  I have the klassik kostume for Reptile and it is awesome.  Too many people play Smoke and Noob Saibot.

Scorpion is currently my best, which is usually the case. Cyber Sub Zero is a close second though, and I can't believe that I'm getting ok with Kabal, I still have visions of fighting him in MK3.

" Stryker "

" Johnny Cage by far!!! :) "

Ermac

I've just been playing through the story since the PSN is down and I must say that I like almost all of them. With the exception of Sub-Zero i have yet to play a character that I didn't enjoy playing but I had to pick one it would either be Liu Kang or Cryax. They are both just a lot of fun to play.

I've gotten used to Stryker, he wasn't too difficult for me to pick up and his moveset seems versatile enough for me that I've never been overpowered in a fight. 

Been playing a lot of different ones but been pretty happy with Kung Lao, Jade, Ermac & Noob. So far haven't found a character yet that I can't at least figure out a few things on & enjoy playing them.

I've been playing a lot of Scorpion. Messed around a little with Liu Kang, but not really feeling it. As happy as I've been with the Hell Ninja though, I know there is a stigma around using him, and he doesn't seem to have a lot of options as far as play style, so I'm thinking about picking up another. Maybe Raiden, Sub-Zero or Cyber Sub-Zero, just because I like the way they look.

I've only been playing Kung Lao and Reptile. I've got a couple solid 35 ish % combo's for both of them and way more using meter, and both have the ability to rush people down pretty good with their specials. Kung Lao more so than Reptile. But reptile can do more damage with less hits. So I'm starting to lean towards him since there's some lag online and it's easy to fuck up Kung Lao's  Kombo's with any input lag since he moves so quick and hits so many times.

Nightwolf..And really just about everyone in this game is pretty great. But I'm not gonna bother trying to get good at more than 1 or 2 at a time. Specifically, I'd like to get all my matchups down with Kung and Reptile. Even more specifically, get more comfortable dealing with Noob, Smoke, and Ermac. 3 very annoying projectile and teleportation based keep away characters who everyone seems to use a whole lot. Especially noob. I wish I was in a position to play with more people in person instead of spending all my time worrying about how to beat laggy projectile spammers.
