Drahmin is right up there with Hsu Hao and Tremor in the least favorites of Boon.

Shinnok may have been a lame boss but he doesn't compare to the awfulness of Drahmin.

I really hope Drahmin returns, he hasnt done anything but I hope he comes back revitalized and revamped, he could be one of the more interesting Lackies.

My vote goes to Shinnok who was one of my favourites to play as in MKA and I can't wait to see more of him in MK10, but lets hope Drahmin is there with him.

This is an interesting vote because they're both disappointing characters.

Drahmin disappointed me because he was unpleasing to play as. I dislike playing characters that moves slow but are supposed to be these powerhouses. He's supposed to be some sort of tormentor, but honestly, throughout the times I've tried to play in in conquest mode, I literally asked, "What tormentor? This guy's supposed to be one? Ha!"

His moves sucked, his story sucked, his appearance sucked... Granted that it was a bit funny to see the flies surround Cyrax when you perform his fatality onto Drahmin, but that's about it. The character had nothing going on for him to make him better.

And with Shinnok, I am disappointed at him because he sucked as a final boss. I didn't like that we have yet, ANOTHER character who has the ability to posses other characters' moves. Like we need more of that! He had some interesting moves, but they didn't really do that much to impress. His fatalities in MK4 were one of a few that I didn't like both. They were just some giant pair of hands either smooshing the guy or squeezing his head off.

The character is basically useless unless he has his amulet. Please. What good are you if that's the only thing preventing you to be free? Yeah, sending clones is the only way to make you more intimidating, but I felt that was just some sort of excuse to use because the writers clearly forgot that Shinnok can't leave the Netherrealm without that amulet and he did in Armageddon.

I truly feel that's what happened.

In the end, I had to vote for Shinnok only because I have a feeling we're going to appreciate him a lot more than we used to in the past. Also, I'm hoping that we can see his goddamn demon form for once.


It'd be really interesting if at the end of story mode, we fight Shinnok in his elder God form and then after we beat that, he turns into a demon and we fight that form... Cool eh?

I liked Drahmin, he had some interesting points, but he was poorly executed which I hope will change in future games.

I don't like anything about Shinnok. At all.

So I vote Drahmin.

Damn, I'm saddened by the margin Sektor was swept away. There goes 2nd of my Top10 fave characters in round 1. R.I.P. Reiko & Sektor. T_T

As for this round, Shinnok easily. Didn't like him in MK4, but boy did he impress me in MKA. Fantastic Konquest appearance (my favorite part of the Konquest) and an amazing alternate costume! The gameplay was solid too, loved the guaranteed skeleton-arm squeeze after the throw. :-p

Drahmin's OK, but that's it. Can't wait for Shinnok's return!

Shinnok hands down. One of my favorite MK characters. He might not have been a tough boss but maybe next game he will be.

I did like Shinnok as a boss though, I don't think bosses have to be big to be intimidating.

As you can see from page 1, that stupid pattern is finally broken.

Yeah, Shinnok sucked as a boss in MK4, but he is so much cooler to look at than Drahmin. I also like Shinnok's revamp in Armageddon.

I'm voting for Gray Face.

Voted for Drahmin because he reminds me of the swamp temple boss from Legend of Zelda Majoras Mask. Oh, and I don't like Shinnok.

Liked Drahmin's design and especialy his backstory. Sadly....yet another grunt-type character. Blah.

Shinnok's twice proven himself a worthy villain, but he's just not intimidating enough. I really hope to see his MKM end-boss form make a return in MK10. That'll fix that.

Goes to Shinnok.

Alright, O.G. Smoke broke the combo in terms of the pattern in that mugshot page. Smoke wouldn't have gotten much additional gray area for losing though. It was one of the first real mighty battles we've had!
Anyway, let's vote for KONNIH5 as the Tekunin tend to type it out.

Yikes, tough vote. I want to vote for Drahmin because there are a few things that I like about him. I dig the mask, his alt outfit in MK:DA is sweet, and I STILL want to see what happens after his MK:DA ending (though I guess that's a moot point considering that apparently nothing happened, as he was unchanged in Armageddon).

Still, with Drahmin, for every step forward, they seemed to take two steps back. His moves were weak (a ball of flies? Who honestly thought that was a good idea for a move? And a generic super uppercut? Blah.), and having two oni in the game felt a little needless, even for a game that has 70,000 ninjas.

I still see potential in Drahmin though. So I would like to see him again some day. I just think that they need to flesh him out more. Better moves that take advantage of who and what he is, and a more complete story that takes him out f the lackey category would do wonders.

Shinnok? Again, another character that's not overly realized. As others have said, he was awful in MK4. Worst boss in the entire series. But he was improved in MK:A and c'mon, he's a fallen Elder God. How does that not leave plenty of room for improvement and expansion?

I like Drahmin a little more, but I like what Shinnok is and what he could be, so in the end, I voted for the latter. Poor Drahmin. He deserves better.

Drahmin had that fantastic back story but that's the only thing fantastic about him. He's so boring and like someone said he was almost painful to play as.

Shinnok is one of my favorites. Yeah him morphing was tired by the time he came around but I appreciate any boss character that doesn't suffer from SNK boss syndrome. I'm not here for that.

Voted for Shinnok because he's in my top ten characters list. I have zero problems with Drahmin though and find him kick ass. Hope he makes it to MK10.

Shinnok.

However, I like both characters. Shinnok have an elaborated backstory and interesting personality to boot. His appearance was always good (MKM aside), but his gameplay was lacking in MK4. Especially considering that he was final boss in this game. In MKA his gameplay was redone, but I think he needed few more moves than only three. His fatalities in MK4 were one of the best in the series. I really hope that he will be fully realized in MK10 or in any other next game. Primarily he needs good and memorable gameplay.

Drahmin was an interesting character in MKDA, but he was underdeveloped in that game. If he made appearance in MKD I believe he could have become very interesting character. His gameplay was unusual, but provided a neccessary diversity to the roster. His appearance was interesting. While I hope that he will reapear in the future, I am not sure if it will happen.

The next time we see Jade, she will be up against Mileena. So I guess you are not going to be voting for Jade, ever.
