The fact that Mileena is one of the least used is surprising considering her fanbase.

The guys who were on the MKvsDC cover are on the top 3 most used...LMAO!

We'll see if NRS sticks to their popular use angle, because I highly doubt NRS will be leaving Quan Chi out of MKX

I hope they drop that shit about least used characters aren't coming back.

All my favorites are low on the list and my most hated ones are ruling the lists as always.

Just give Mileena more special abilities and make the others playable in the storymode and give them more attention than the attention whores like Sub, Scorp and Johnny Cage.

i dont think Sindel is really dead as she was already dead!! and we saw her demon form (she was already a demon)! particulary now she is Shang tsung at some point

You didn't play as her during story - So there was no real reason to even try her out but yeah bit weird. Also could be a bit of a rejection to her retconned storyline. People seemed to like her more as an unloved rival to Kitana rather than lolperfectkitana.

Acutally looking at it the highest character you dont play as in story mode is: Noob Saibot (PS3/Xbox) and Baraka (PC).

Surprised at how unpopular Skarlet is looking at it. She was a cool character I thought.

Fuck popularity. Imma gonna make my own game with blood ninjarettes and four armed monster girls.

I also noticed that Rain is nowhere to be seen on the list.

Ed Boon hates Rain, he doesn't want Rain on the list, so he corrupted the lists.

I guess this is what it sounds like when the doves cry.

I don't think the rankings of the DLC characters are an accurate measure of their popularity because obviously, since buying them is optional, there will be people who didn't do so and therefore never used what they didn't have. And these are, I'm pretty sure, the of-all-time numbers, not a "in the past month" or "in the past year" chart, and those characters weren't even available during the game's most-played period, right after release.

I believe that Liu Kang will be the Boss in MKX. Noob Saibot and Katana will both be alive and unlockable.

Liu will not be boss, it's final! He is more of an annoying character than a fun character.

Hell, Noob will most-likely be in MKX due to that he didn't die. Just got sucked into a soulnado and spit out somewhere. Shadows cannot die.

Kitana can stay away for ever!

Mileena will be in, instead.

@Tazer_Gunshot yeah I wouldn't describe Liu Kang as a fun character either, I'd describe Shinnok, Havik or Onaga as fun characters

Sektor and Cyrax were last seen at least unconscious, so it remains to be seen if they're still functional. Smoke could possibly be automated after his death, and Cyber Sub-Zero could be repaired. Noob Saibot may have the Champion of the Elder Gods thing happen to him, and Kuai Liang could become the new Noob. A soul isn't necessary for a machine, so then there would be Sub-Zero (Bi-Han), Noob Saibot (Kuai Liang), and Cyber Sub-Zero (a soulless husk). They might decide to have Sheeva, Kintaro, and Goro succumb to their wounds after their fights (which would be completely lame). They might include the dead kharacters as undead slaves to Quan Chi, or add them with DLC.

I agree with Shinnok and Havik, but, not a fan of Onaga. Not just because Reptile was used to create him in MKD, but, didn't and still don't have any interest in him (including MKA).
A couple other characters that I found interesting besides Shinnok and Havik are; Drahmin and Sareena.
I wasn't fond of Movado, but, with a revision in specials, he would be amazing. Loved his main design in MKDA with the trench coat.
