Due to this, Jade remains one of the biggest characters of the MK story.

still beat Kahn though lol, I guess that's the most important part

Lol yeah, was there anyway stop them from dying from either timeline. Maybe this time good wins in reverse of evil winning who knows.

Then go send a private message to a moderator on this site to fix you. Complaining about it in this thread isn't really going to help you much... despite that I JUST sent you a link that helps you get a signature.

Anyways, back with the whole Jade situation, she plays an important part in this series, even if this is the new timeline and things are different. Her role and Kitana's role hasn't really changed, despite that their lives are both in an undead state.

It's really funny, however, to see people saying that, "Oh, I didn't think such character has a big fan base." Remember, people on this site doesn't make up for the entire fan base of one character. You still have other fan sites and people who don't even go on fan sites that are fans of a particular character. Not too many thought that Sheeva had a strong fan base. When she was getting shit faces by users here who had a problem with her ugliness in threads that were talking about ways to improve her, you saw a lot more Sheeva fans coming out and defending their favorite character all because they saw some random guy saying that she needs to sit out a few because no one wants to play as some ugly, unattractive female character.

Don't be surprised at how much of a fan base a character has... They're all huge in some manner... And I'm not intentionally trying to crack a sex joke in there if anyone is thinking that I am.


I'm still shocked that Jade has a large fan base...

Why are you shocked about Jade having a big fan base? There's so many reasons I can see why and I'll name a few:

She's one of the first female characters to be in a hidden fight

She's one of the first colored females

She has one of the best developed stories

She's got that video of voting for her as a sexy female character

She pole dances apparently

She's green

She's Edenian

I'm just asking and showing how she may have a large fan base.

I guess it's just my opinion. I certainly don't believe she has the "best developed stories" in the series.

In fact, I think that might be why I am a little surprised of her popularity. I've always thought of her as Kitana's shadow. Her story always involves Kitana and hasn't really developed over the years.

And her being "colored", "green", "pole dancer", and "edenian" aren't enough good reasons for me to like her.

Yes, in the new timeline. But what Riyakou refers to is in the old timeline.

Also, didn't you just say you would stop posting and just vote from now on? ;P


Oh wait Shao Kahn won Armageddon!


That's true. Didn't consider that, actually.
Maybe it would be more interesting if Jade had actually persisted in catching Kitana, preventing her to convince Sindel to join her which would end up with Kahn winning... and then die because he broke the rules, like he did in the new timeline. Then Kitana and Jade would no longer be best of friends, because Jade betrayed Kitana's trust. However, they would probably both still be alive then.

Interesting twist, actually.


What!? No!

I'm for story twists, but that's one aspect I want kept forever. Jade's loyalty to Kitana and the royal family is the prime reason she's one of my favorite characters.

This is fucking stupid. I'm done voting on this obviously rigged compeition. There's obviously some 4chan POS that's voting for Jade nonstop. There is no way that Jade is that popular. That she managed to beat Mileena and now most likely Johnny Cage too. She can't be in the top eight best MK characters. She's a damn supporting character to Kitana. MK rarely has her doing anything substantial in the story.

If she wins, that will be all the validation I will need to determine that the compeition is in fact rigged. Cheers, have fun watching Jade win the whole thing. And everyone should thank Jaded-raven at the end for the being the 4chan loser that's obviously using his boner that he has for Jade to click the button on the mouse to vote for Jade.


That's really immature. This 'tournament' isn't the end of the world. You can like who you like, but don't call it 'rigged' because Jade is winning. I'm not going to freak out if Shang Tsung ends up besting Ermac. It's not a big deal.


Oh, I would also like to point out that I loathe 4chan and I am gay. I have a boner for Reiko, if anyone. ;P


It's funny when people's insults fail.

those all work for me :). being a little blatino boy growing up, I found it interesting that there was a black girl in the game *though she's not 'really' black, my elementary brain sure didn't try to learn the difference lol*. and green's my favorite color, pole dancers are amazing, and Edenia was always so interesting to me...

Hell, maybe the reason I like her is because I see her like a female Sub-Zero. Stern, serious, even reclusive maybe. Also some of the heroes thought maybe she couldn't be trusted at first but she grew on them. Anyway, I love Jade no matter if she's sassy or if she's serious. Cool character either way.
I'm really glad you said this because that's what I was going to say at first.

I see her as a Sub-Zero type but less brooding. I see her as very serious as well. Maybe less sassy and more sarcastic in a dead pan snarker kind of way. It's why I loved her as general of Edenia's army. That exactly where I see her at her best. Leading the military.

Hi everyone!

I'm new to this site and I think it's amazing to find so many people who take MK so seriously!

Well, I voted Jade.

I think we all know this poll is more like a popularity contest, so it is really hard to be objective about the reasons why we like a character or not. I'm a big fan of Kitana and, as cheesy as this might sound, this game means a lot to me.

I remember being 8 years old, back in 1992 and feeling shocked after seeing Sonya's deadly kiss, as her helpless victim burned. That was no doubt the best thing I had ever seen in a video game, and it was great to see a badass girl fighting all of these awesome characters. So, it was sad not the see her in MK2, but hey, Kitana and Mileena were there!

I've been playing as Kitana and Mileena since 1993 and they are the only two characters in MK9 I can decently play with. So, I don't really care much about their story-line, because it changes all the time. But I think these characters have cool personalities, moves, juggles and combos. So, for me this is a matter of loyalty to my characters (they've been part of my life for 20 years and I like female characters a lot, as they are hot and lethal!) but it is pretty cool to see that everyone has a different reason to vote.

Glad to be here!

if Jade diddn't exist in MK it wouldn't make a difference, but MK wouldn't be the series it is without Johnny Cage, he just is MK like Scorpion and Sub Zero are but Jade is irrelevant compared to Johnny Cage, MK Online community sucks, too many people voting for fashion and race over substance and importance.

Though you are entitled to your own opinion, perhaps it's better if you keep your mouth shut. Your whole statement reeks of ignorance.
You don't know why everyone voted for who they did. You just saw some responses. And even if you don't agree with them who tf cares. The fact that you generalized, completely uninformed, and then take a jab at a community you aren't even a part of makes you look like a gigantic asshole. Congratulations on that.

Oh yeah, and obviously Jade isn't irrelevant if she can go toe to toe with Johnny Cage. gtfo.
