DAMN this is hard!

I gave my votes to Rain, Tanya, Tremor, Reiko and Skarlet.

sorry Mileena, Sektor and some others!

Noob, Smoke and Ermac didn't need my votes.

The time that they all were Ninjas is long gone.

I hope that Reptile is a reptilian creature in this game, not a green Ninja.
Smoke should be more Enenra and not the grey ninja.
Noob is fine as shadow ninja.

Mileena and all the girls shouldn't be ninja's anymore, only Mileena should have mask, maybe a new type of mask.

Good to see Ermac on top!

I think it's time for Rain to be a regular character at this game. He only appeared as a DLC or on MK Trilogy and MK Armageddon, that was like a "junction" of previous games.

Someone should tweet this to Boon and his team @ Netherrealm. I think it would be beneficial for them in announcing their characters. Maybe hold off on the ones people really want to the end so that they're on their knees.

My votes went to...

- Havik: The guy is awesome, what more can I say?
- Kenshi: Probably the most well received of the 3D Mortal Kombat era, and he was DLC so he's bound to get in. Has a fun playstyle and cool moves.
- Khameleon: I think it'd be cool to have her in, giving her new moves (Anti-Air Forceball? A divekick? I don't know) and setting her story in motion. Since Reptile is bound to get in, having Khameleon around might finally give the guy some much needed focus, especially if she's fighting for the good guys.
- Nitara: One of my favorite characters, I think her appearance really fits the tone of the game. She could be really fun!
- Sheeva: Because fuck the haters, that's why.

Okay, I was able to make my picks.
1. Ermac - no-brainer.
2. Dairou - yeah, yeah, he has a snowball's chance in Hades of returning but I've got a soft spot for him, plus his MKD Fatality rocks.
3. Kenshi - only in hopes of his connection w/Ermac being revived in X.
4. Reiko - another no-brainer, my favorite MK4 character.
5. Stryker - unfortunately he may be the odd man out w/Cassie Cage's arrival. Sigh.

Honorable mentions had we had more than 5 votes:
1. Kai - should be pushed a little as a "new" Liu Kang of sorts. Time to pass the torch.
2. Johnny Cage - eh, we know he's going to be in the game anyway.
3. Jarek - DO something with him, NRS, dammit, outside of the same moldy oldie Special Forces storylines.
4. Ashrah - another underdeveloped character w/scads of potential.
5. Shinnok - needs to be the new El Supremo baddie of the series. Shao has more than run his course.
WTF are Tremor and Monster doing on this list?

Threw my votes to

Jade
Rain
Noob Saibot
Li Mei

Aaannnddd.....

Sareena

Felt like she could use some love and she's basically in the same boat as Rain (deserving, but won't get in).

Voted for Frost, Nitara, Havik, Khameleon and Hotaru.

You've always been with MortalKombatOnline since like 2003 or 2004. Why don't you post much? I remember saying something harsh to you for using my frost.gif from my AOL.com homepage. For that, I * apologize , it wasn't a big deal.

Back to thread topic. I voted for Frost, Sonya, and Kitana. Also, I hope Sareena , Cyrax, Jade, Mileena, Reiko,Sindel, Khameleon, Skarlet and Skinnok.

That's what I've been saying but no one is doing it.

Please, SOMEONE TWEET THIS POLL TO BOON.

I wanted to give opportunity to those that have less of a chance getting into MKX rather than those who do. So I got behind:

Ashrah - I look at Ashrah and see so much potential there. A demonic demon hunter dressed up as a innocent priestess? How can you not love that? Incorporate her kriss or voodoo doll (and explain in the story why she even uses a voodoo doll) into moves and fatalities and you've got a winner.
Fujin - I wanted to pick one of the MK4 characters since they deserve to have get a shot for next gen. MK9 teased us with a return to MK4 and I think Fujin is one of the stronger characters from that period. He's got a crossbow and wind powers; two unique traits that could lead to an interesting move set. They could turn Fujin into Fuj-win.
Khameleon - A character who I felt never got a fair chance to develop beyond secret character/palette swap like the other ninjas did. I picked her over Chameleon because the series needs more female characters
Havik - I've always had a soft spot for Chaosrealm and the design of Havik. His contortion/mutilation of his own body could be translated into some excellent fatalities/moves/xrays and I'd love to get more back story on him and his realm.
Skarlet - The only new character from MK9 should not be buried and forgotten about. That happens much too easily to Mortal Kombat characters. MKX could raise her up from just another DLC character with limited back story to a full fledged member of the MK universe. There's still lots of potential for her blood based powers (even though Kotal Kahn pretty much stole one of her fatalities) and moving her beyond just another evil lackey would be a must.

So there you go. My honourable mentions go to those who will probably make it into the game:

- Smoke
- Shinnok
- Tanya
- Kenshi
- Ermac

I also wanted to vote for Tremor but I feel that he might've gotten his big break with MK Vita. Plus it would've been another ninja and I wanted to avoid picking too many of those.

because it is the smart thing to do.

Anyway, Cho and Kobra got my vote among the other usuals.

Voted for

Li Mei
Kitana
Noob Saibot
Ermac
Stryker

Glad to see Kitana is the second leading female character (first being Frost). Really pumped for Ermac.

I voted for Li Mei, Nitara, Bo' Rai Cho, Havik and Sareena.

I'm irrationally excited over the results so far.

Limited myself to 5 votes and went with:

1- Fujin
2- Kitana
3- Reiko
4- Shinnok
5- Sektor


Sektor vs Ermac was close for me, but went with Sektor expecting Ermac will have more votes. NINJA POWA!!!


Happy to see Fujin doing so well.

I guess the reason why Sonya is doing so bad is Cassie Cage. Same with Shao Kahn (Kotal Kahn).

I'm doing an image to tweet it to Boon. When i do it so, i'll let you all know and will ask for help for it to be retweeted!

So happy to see Fujin, Tanya, Bo Rai Cho and Havik all in top 20 - awesome, hope there's a good chance to see them in the mix now. What you all think?

FINALLY someone is! Good! Can't wait!

The 5 i picked

1. Ashrah
2. Frost
3. Noob Saibot
4. Reptile
5. Smoke

Mortal Kombat X- The revenge of Frost.

Seriously who would've expected her to get so many votes? LOL Hurray Frost fans!

No idea how long this poll will last, but it's pretty much become a race for second place. Simply staggering.

I voted Ermac, Havik, Li Mei, Nitara, and Hotaru.

Didn't even think when I voted. So if I revoted, it'd be Ermac, Havik, Li Mei, Bo' Rai Cho, and Fujin.
