Actually even Tremor is more recognized than Rain.

Hmm...it's a tough choice for me really. Neither one really piques my interest.

Kahn was comically dumb in MK9...like Saturday morning cartoon dumb. Oblivious even. So dumb in fact one wonders how he actually managed to usurp the throne of Outworld and keep it all these centuries. I mean, christ, Quan Chi should have tried to undermine Kahn a LONG time ago...because it probably would have worked long before MK9.

Which is kind of a shame, because Kahn used to be a pretty badass villain. Oh well...

And then there's Rain, a largely forgettable character imo. But at least he wasn't in the storymode, and thus didn't have the opportunity to make an ass out of himself like Kahn. I know Rain has a pretty strong fanbase, and I'm not trying to denigrate those fans by labling Rain as *forgettable*. I simply don't like his design and, quite frankly, his subpar backstory. But NRS has a way of surprising me with redesigns, so if Rain is in MKX, I'm sure I'll come to like him...so he get's my vote for those two points alone.

I voted for Rain.

Gotta go with Kahn.

Both are pretty played out but Kahn has simply made more of an impact in the franchise while Rain has barely left a dent.

Rain isn't really forgettable, just remembered for the wrong reasons.

Rain.

He was actually my favorite ninja in trilogy next to Noob. And his moves and combos in MK9 are outrageous.

Meh, I feel he's pretty forgettable. I mean, Bo Rai Cho has had a greater impact on the overall narrative than Rain, whose only claim to fame is that he's an Edenian Prince/Demi-god and he's evil. Oh, and he's purple.

Bo Rai has been in three games to Rain's two (not counting MK9 since he was DLC and had no impact story-wise), and the Drunken Master is more realized in terms of background and his involvement in the story.

Similarly, Rain's costume has always been either a palette swap or just god awful. I will say Rain's MK9 design was light-years ahead of his MKA days, though.

He's like Khameleon in a lot of ways, and many of the more obscure characters in general. Just needs more fleshing out and a better design imo. And that's why I voted for him. He has a legion of fans and NRS is sure to improve on him...hopefully.

Rain

Rain for the win, he is super awesome.

Rain.
Kahn is stale.

Looking at your signature, it always puzzled me as to why Reptile was given girly eyelashes in the Malibu comics.

.

Yeah I thought the same thing. Maybe just dramatic flare so he'd stand out. Although the green did a well enough job. That or he's just so animalistic in nature he doesn't realize his disguise is over the top.

I'm going to die if Rain wins. I love it! So happy Rain has such a following!!!

Always loved Rain. Kahn never piqued my interest.

You sound like you're being facetious.

I'm not. I'm a huge Rain fan. I'm sure most looked at this poll and thought Rain wouldn't stand a chance.

Not a total surprise:


The underdog Rainvid & Shaoliath storyline is fun, though:

Rain!

Actually, that's more my reaction upon learning that Dairou still has the lowest vote percentage in any round of the poll so far.

Oh at people still voting in this poll. Mhm.

C'MON PEOPLE! FOR THOSE WHO LOVE RAIN!

KEEP VOTING! WE CAN'T LET KAHN WIN!

lolRainandhisfans.

Vote Shao Kahn 2014!

Woah, tension at the 11th hour. Rain is now trailing after holding the lead all day.

C'mon, it's only fitting that a guy named Kahn wins this on the day Germany takes home the World Cup.

Yeah, so...?

I'm always suspicious of polls that have so much activity this late in the game considering most results become pretty static after a certain time. Makes me think there are shenanigans afoot since the poll is serious business and all of that.

The poll had been stagnant since yesterday and through today with all the activity in the MKX thread, and now people are probably realizing "HolyshitIgottavote!"
Plus, today's poll was neck-and-neck from the start.

I'm more dissapointed that Hsu Hao didn't get the lowest vote percentage.
