Scorpion has cracked the 100 million uses barrier which some characters will probably not even reach by November. Incredible. Raiden's numbers seem bugged.

Jason is still climbing but has slowed down. It will be interesting to see if his usage over the coming weeks as to see whether Kombat Pack owners fall the already owned fallacy. Many might drop him in favour of Tanya.

As expected Mileena is passed by Erron Black now that her Premier Tower usage is being drowned out. Will be interesting if Kung Lao and Ermac can manage it as well. Same goes for Ermac on Kotal Kahn as well.

Next week Jacqui will probably overtake Reptile.

Tanya has got a solid start I think. Her usage should rise now that her Premier Tower is online and everyone has access to her. She should be on the coat tails of the Quan Chi in a week's time.

I am honestly surprised to see the difference being so alrge between Hanzo, and Kuai.

I guess the vast majority prefers Hanzo. Oh well Kuai Liang forever !

After Sonya has been pushed out of the top 10 by Jason, Cassie Cage is now the sole female character in the top 10.

NRS are most likely looking at the these stats and preparing the costume packs for the new characters.


also Jaquie will soon eclipse reptile? What happened with Reptile?

Scorpion pushing past 100 million, Im sure it's because alot of people accidentally pick him due to scorpion being p1 default character on the select screen, lol.

Reptile requires a lot of work for damage other characters can easily pull off.

I think reptile's design is a major turn off, it's gotten worse with every MK iteration, THEY need to bring back Human form reptile.

It doesn't matter how human he looks if you have to work too hard to win with him he won't be used online.

I'm not surprised about Scorpion being so high. Have you used him online? Very uh friendly lol.

Im a little bit sceptical of these, would be interesting to see exactly whats been included in the counts.

Im only a casual online player but should still be seeing most of these reflections going on.
Ive never seen any Jax or Kotals personally and few Cassie/Johnny compared to ones below them, and think ive only ever seen one Sonya user, yet they are still so high. Also Erron Black and Kung Jin are a lot lower than Id expect, seems like every 2nd or 3rd opponent has them.

Also urprised DVorah has fallen down so much she seemed really popular initally. I ahve seen a couple of Jacquis lately too which is good as I feel she is a bit underrated.

Shame there arent more FerraTorr users out there. I like them but am a bit useless with them lol.

So much for Kitana/Mileena being the female Scorpion/Sub-Zero lol!

Not surprised with that username lol. There have been at least 3 Kitana fans doubting these official stats in this thread, i wonder why?

Now that Kitana seems really unpopular and in the bottom 10 they don't want to believe it, but the previous game where she was the most used female and in the top 10 they braged about the list and used it as receipt to look down on other females, why is it?

There are millions of people playing the game. Unless you've been playing 8 hours a day since release, it's entirely possible that what you see don't match the official count.

*sigh*

Agreed.

Not at all surprised by Quan Chi's status. I realized yesterday I don't at all enjoy playing with him. And he's not even my worst character.

The usage list for the previous games was use across all modes iirc. Isn't this one just online? I'm not sure tbh.

Anyway, Kitanan isn't any less popular, neither is Reptile but they both play badly between it being difficult to win with them and button latency they're not getting used I this game.

I don't know how Kitana or Mileena's status is even in question, they're still them.

Dude.......let it go

Seriously.

Okay, so you're assuming MKKitana is one of those fans just because of his username? He never even brought up Kitana being low, so why do you have to start shit in every thread?

Kitana and Reptile are just not-user friendly. They are hard to play as and personally i think that NRS spent more time on developing new charachters rather than their classics.

I doubt that any of the newcomers and probably classic charachters like Jax are more popular than them as far as charachteristics and design goes. This reffers to Ermac, Kung Lao and other classics too who are lower than expected.

Hell, I don't remember a charachter in any fighting game to be as half-assed as Reptile is in MKX. His fatalities are just bad, variations are the same, hard to use, not even the highly demanded human form was included for dlc.

LOL ikr. He has nothing else to deal with personally, so he takes his anger out here where he thinks he'll get a response. Every other post he makes is about other characters being low. Same story in MK9. Same story every fucking time.
Nobody.gives.a.fuck.

Get yourself a hobby! I'm gonna go play some MKX with Mileena who's 14th and I ain't even bothered. Have a good day!

And yet Cassie is most played not Sonya. As it should be since Cassie is the new hotness and Sonya is old and busted.

And I'm gonna keep on trucking with Kano, even if he's barely above Shinnok. I think I'd be at the bottom if Shinnok wasn't an unlockable.

lol who cares, they will still return in the next game, like it or not.

Exactly. Worry about Sonya, Jax and Jacqui whose chances arent looking very good for next game lol

It's good to see Jax so high. Don't care why. Maybe people think he's badass. Maybe folks find him easy to use. Maybe some believe that the old superstition about always betting on the black dude in a fight extends to video game characters.

Hey, you never know. People are weird like that sometimes.

Regardless, glad to finally get some proof that the fanbase gives this ol' workhorse some love...and hell, with his new Roger Murtaugh inspired demeanor, he deserves it more than ever!

lol @ diirecthoe being a butthurt bitch again.

Kitana is popular.

"Let me laugh when Mileena makes it in over Kano in MKX" lol your predictions are always shitty. You're a joke.

This. lol

You know they are not dropping Jacqui after one game, right? The only newcomers I could see out of MK11 are Erron and Ferra/Torr.
