Rain.

I don't dislike Kitana but I have agree with the sentiment that she's been rather stale since Deadly Alliance or so. Retcons in this game didn't do her any favors either.

The Purple Prince meanwhile was made into serious bizness in MKA and this game built even further on that, giving him even more delicious background. He's come a long way.

Keep dunking your Kenshi breadsticks into your Skarlet sauce, people! The main course isn't coming for a while, and you never know when it's going to be disappointing.

Let's go Kitana! Kick him in his 'Little Red Corvette'! Rip off his 'Diamonds and Pearls'! Show him what it REALLY sounds like when the doves cry!

I predicted this would be the closest battle of Round 2, and so far seem to be correct. It seems Rain is currently down by one vote. I withold my vote until midnite.

Kitana was very important in the progression of the story in the early MK's, but Rain was very important in the progression of the story in the later MK's. In fact, Armageddon is arguably because of him, and because of Armageddon MK got a doover...soo technically if MKA is because of Rain, then MK9 is also because of Rain.

When it comes to who looks cooler, its a tie.

When it comes to who has the better moveset or powers, Rain wins by a landslide.

So I am leaning towards Rain.

Also, it says something when your a villain and you are not just a random thug for Kahn or Shinnok.

With the blood of gods in their veins, the people of Edenia lived long and lush lives before their realm was merged with Outworld. Queen Sindel was forced to marry Edenia's conqueror, Shao Kahn, but ultimately chose to take her own life. In this classic Round 2 grudge bout, will the Queen fade again, or is the destroyer of realms destined for defeat?

I really didn't like Shao Kahn in this game. He used to be cool, but not in this game. His outfit, his voice, his cheapness and his attitude in the Story Mode, all these things add to reasons why I have started to dislike him.

Sindel however is awesome and she's got the coolest scene in Story Mode. So this vote goes to Sindel.

For the first time, I agree with your reason.

Sindel has the most powerful vagina in video game history.

Shao Kahn is the single greatest fighting game boss of all time. No other comes even remotely close to his greatness. Some bosses may come at you with ridiculously cheap attacks and A.I. (Sup SNK?). But Shao Kahn did it with style. Not only is his appearance inspired and completely intimidating, but he quickly showed that he had the personality and presence to match.

I remember the first time I met Shao Kahn in the arcades. I was excited, but at the same time, I thought to myself, "Okay, what kind of cheap A.I is gonna rape my pocket of quarters now?" I was playing as Mileena. At the beginning of the round, I began charging my sai projectile, anticipating a flurry of over-powered attacks. Catching me completely off guard, Shao Kahn stopped, pointed his finger at me and said, "You will never win!". All I could think at that moment was, "Oh... shit." The several quarters I had lined up on the base of the cabinet's screen quickly vanished.

I was rather young when this happened, but Shao Kahn literally scared me shitless. Regardless, NO fighting game boss has ever made such an impact as the Emperor of Outworld. Other fighting games had bosses that were cheap. Mortal Kombat had a boss that was just plain better than you, and he fucking knew it!


Sindel is cool, but Shao Kahn is a god.

I agree. He's so unlikeable now to me personally, and a pretty bland character. He just seems like he gets mad for any little reason and he's so boring cuz he's purely evil and nothing else. It gets annoying and he gets annoying ( and not because of how much he spams.)

Even if it was never shown, it was implied that he was devestated when Sindel died and also how much he loved Kitana and Mileena as his daughters. I have to say that the web series and the old tv show got his personality right, more than MK9. I remember watching MK conquest and seeing how much he loved Kitana even though she knew he wasn't her real father. And seeing him become hesitant at the thought of him hurting his daughter, the little things like that made him a bit likeable. It just showed a more human side to him. I could go on and on, but it doesn't change the fact of how boring and 1 dimensional he's become now.

Shao Kahn. Never really have cared for Sindel. MK3 Kahn is my favorite boss of any MK games, besides Motaro.

Um...but Rain IS a random thug for Kahn. That's the whole point of his story. He was an Edenian rebel who turned against his own and joined Kahn instead.

As for this round, in the immortal words of Johnny Cage I'm voting for the wrestler guy with the cow skull on his head.
