Gotta go with Kotal, he's the best of the newcomers by a long shot IMO.
Plus, with Baraka not making the roster Kotal was an easy choice for my new main.

Voted Li Mei. Kotal turned out to be pretty lame.

Li Mei

Kotal Kahn gets my vote- fantastic new addition, he's even better in the comics. Li Mei looked great in MKX's story mode though.

Kotal was kinda cool in the comics, but in the actual game I find him kinda dull, and in story mode he's pretty pathetic. Nice weapon though, especially with that one brutality where he saws them in half... But Li Mei was a mediocre knock off in her debut and never really got anything to make her stand out. Her tiny role in MKX's story mode is the best thing she's ever done. I can't decide which one I dislike less.

Mileena got my vote last round because pants, phenomenal gameplay, and has some of the best fatalities in the game. That, and literally all of her costumes are great.

As for today's match, Emperor Ko'atal easily gets my vote. He's my favorite newcomer and I find his personality and gameplay oodles of fun.

Not to mention Li Mei is one of the few characters who I've never cared for.

I like Li Mei, but she has yet to realize her potential and I thought her MKD appearance was a step back for her. I still want her as MKX DLC, but they'll need to do some work on that move set.

Kotal is a great character with an awesome look, cool story and a few interesting moves, but he needs a few more signature moves. Some of his moves really fell flat for me.

I think that both characters have another level or two that they can get to in terms of overall quality, but I give the edge to Kotal since he's a bit further along (for now) on that spectrum.

Voted for Kotal.

Gotta go with Kotal on this one. Li Mei hasn't done anything worthwile in this timeline yet while Kotal killed and ousted Mileena and actually tried to make Outworld a respectful place again.... in a tyrannic sort of way.

Still, Kotal.

Voted Kotal.

He looks great, but ill admit I don't enjoy his gameplay, and in the story mode he kind of turned out to be a lame, but still, Li Mei really didn't do anything in MKX and she doesn't even seem like the same character anymore, so I go with Kotal.

Li Mei sucks.

Kotal Kahn.

Easy decision. Kotal Kahn gets my vote. Fantastic look coupled with a design inspired by the Mesoamerican culture which makes him stand out like a beacon amongst the American and East Asian characters. A good backstory fleshed out even more in the comics and good gameplay in my opinion. Blood Offering is just pure Mortal Kombat. Kotal was the stand out newcomer before the game's release and he still is now in my opinion. I hope to see new characters on the level on Kotal in future installments. That would be great.

Never liked Li Mei, Uninspired, boring moves combined with a gharish colour palette are immediate turnoffs. Not a fan at all. Extremely lacklustre compared to Kotal.

Voted Mileena because she looked great and played just as well. D'Vorah is cool but her being Tanya 2.0 didn't do her any favors for me.

Voted Kotal because despite his cowardice in game, his comic incarnation was great. Li Mei looked sexy as hell in the story though.

Who in their right mind would vote for one of the weakest characters Kotal Kahn in the game ? Goodness Li Mei can run circles around this guy. It pains me to see her losing right now.. I am voting for her.

God bless you. Kotal was such a douche in the story and weak as hell.

Hmm who do I vote for: One of the best new characters from Mortal kombat X or one of the most generic women in Mortal Kombat as a whole?

The new Emperor or that one chick from Outworld who spent her time in Story Mode talking and standing around?

An Aztec inspired warrior with influences from Tekken's Ogre or bland middle-aged looking asian chick?

I think I'll vote for Li Mei.



Scratch that, I'll vote for Kotal.

Lmao awesome my thoughts exactly

Li Mei got my vote, honestly I don't know why, just felt right I guess.

I voted Rain.

Let it RAIN! ????????

Kahn is such a little bitch. Rain all the way.

LMAO hence the BDSM outfit. Rain isn't one of my top characters but I would take him over Shao Kahn any time after MKII.

Rain is cool. His backstory and designs are interesting. Gameplay fun. Character decent. Great potential for the future.

Shao Kahn is the Boss of MK. Iconic. When people look at him the see a war machine and never forget it. No boss has ever lived up to the standard he set. The entire first game was almost build-up to his arrival and he delivered so well they brought him back immediately with no objections. His design gets his character across perfectly. His role as the conqueror made him the personification of Outworld itself.

Rain is a good character, but I don't think he will ever leave anything close to the impression Shao Kahn has had on me or the MK world.

Also, "It's official; you suck."

Fuck you, Shao Kahn. Fuck you.

I went for Rain. I have always been intrigued by him. He was missing in DA and Deception, so I was really excited for him in Armageddon. He became my favorite ninja, Smoke comes VERY close. Rain is a very interesting character and he is very underutilized. I hope they follow through with his and Tanya's alliance.

I like Shao Kahn for being MKs first and iconic boss. He is always intimidating will always be part of MK history, but damn the other bosses are so much more interesting. Shinnok, Onaga, and Quan Chi are all more interesting.
