Noob has never really had a standout moment, he's only popular because he's the kombatant formerly known as Sub-Zero... Though I do really like his "powers", we all know they could have given them to any other character that wasn't a black palette swap and that character would have reached at most MK3 newbie popularity.
What are you talking about? Noob Saibot was insanely popular before it was revealed he was Sub-Zero. That didn't happen until Deception. Also, part of his appeal was finally playing as the dark ninja hidden in MK2.
I voted for Noob just to give him a little boost because I knew he wouldn't beat Mileena.
"Insanely popular" is an exaggeration, as is "only popular because he's the kombatant formerly known as Sub-Zero"...... But pardon me for my hyperbole, I did not expect it to be taken as scripture. I would like to point out that I also credited his popularity to being the black palette swap, which is kinda exactly what you said at the end there. *shrug*
As for the current match, I generally slightly prefer Noob Saibot, but Mileena is awesome in MKX and he's nowehere, so I'm voting Mileena this round.
I don't know who to vote for. I'd flip a coin, but that's no fun!
Nephrite, who do I vote for?
I quit you.
Oh boy. Raiden and Fujin are at it next.
The epic battle that NetherRealm seems to be too lazy to do because their creative director hates Fujin. lol
LOL @ it even being a competition when nobody even knows what a Fujin is

The Quarter Finals kontinue with a warring storm! Raiden stands watch for eternity as Earthrealm's god of thunder and sworn protector. When the realm was invaded by Shao Kahn, it was the thunderer who stood vigilant to stop him. Fujin is the god of wind and a dedicated ally to Raiden's cause. When the fallen elder god Shinnok arose to conquer the realm, this time Raiden & Fujin both formed a last line of defense at the Sky Temple! They should be a united storm front, but in the battle for supremacy there can be only one! Lightning cracks and a tornado roars! Who reigns supreme?... FIGHT!

I get he has potential to be a good character with being another god and all, but what he is now isn't really anything. He has had no big moments or impact. He has not been important to any plot or character arc. He has had no character growth. He pretty much is only a concept of a character.
I want him in another MK game just as much as anyone else, but having the possibility of being as good as Raiden doesn't make him a better than Raiden.
This beautiful sig was made by MINION.
Why do I have to make this decision?!
I'm sorry Fujin! I'm Sor hahar reeeeeee!!!
*Votes for Raiden with snot and tears running down face.*
At least he'll lose to someone worthy. I honesty thought he had some competition in his last couple of rounds, but I underestimated his fanbase on here. That makes me happy.
I will rock you.

"Insanely" implies exageration. Your sentence did not.
And you're right, I misread the end and assumed you meant that only the moves were popular and that, given to another character, that character would have been popular.
The vote is now a clean 50%/50%!
I voted for Fujin because god damnit NRS. Teased his name in the Deception clouds, a sound file with his name in MK9 and a easter egg in Cassie's fatality. It's like they enjoy doing that. I'm not even an hardcore Fujin fan and even I think he should have made it.
