Who's your favorite retro Mortal Kombatant

>>11924646 (OP)
I know its basic but Scorpion. He's been my main since MK1.

>>11924646 (OP)
Sub 32 Fahrenheit

Scorpion because I'm not gay

I always just wanted this for a Reptile design, lizard man + ninja outfit, and you wouldn't see that in a mainline game until fucking Armageddon

Reptile

>>11924646 (OP)
Yeah. He's op but a lot of fun.

mk1 on the gameboy because it's what I owned as a kid

>don't talk about one of the top three most popular fighting games, and probably number one in the 90s
we're americans here, you can go post on the japanese version of 4chan if it bothers you, since mk was literally only not sold or popular at all in that country and you're obviously from there

But I like MK, I just don't like low effort marketing threads trying to sell me an emulator with roms.
>we're americans here
Oh, ok, your whole life is an advertisement then

>>11925049
Literally what does this thread have to do with marketing, and why does there need to be "high effort" in a fuckin' thread. Asking people who their favorite character is is fine enough to start a discussion if that's what I want to read responses about

Gameplay? Stryker

>>11925072
A lot of people like how they "fixed" Stryker in MK9 by making him look more chad, but I kinda wish he was developed as the "Dan" of MK, shoulda kept him with an awkward fighting stance, face like he's smelling a fart, middle stage "growing my hair" hair, and looking like he has a beer gut

>>11925148
Wow yeah, his MK3 look is much more charming

>>11924818
that commercial is so fucking cool, man, i wish they re-rebooted the movies already

'90s Post-Apocalyptic Character Man. Based purely on aesthetics. He looks like he should exist in the world of the renowned 1989 JCVD masterwork of cinema, CYBORG.

Scorpion, Kabal, and Rain. I know Smoke is technically superior to use than Scorpion but I don't care, he's the laziest character in the entire franchise, only one with specials stolen from another character who wasn't like an early secret boss

Kabal is OP

>>11924672
I think having a memorable catchphrase that you can shout at your friends in the playground helps

>>11928676
That definitely helped Scorpion along with his edginess if you actually read the character bios. Sub Zero is cooler on paper because freezing enemies > throwing a spear on a rope that they probably meant to be a kunai, but Scorpion is cooler within the details. Plus, gameplay wise he's better because teleport punch, and his spear stun is more effective than freezing

Quan Chi
He's the perfect heel. He's a giant asshole but can also be comedic. Much more visually memorable than Shang Tsung.

I've always wondered if the freeze had any advantages over the spear. They're both stun projectiles but the spear not only does a bit of damage but also brings the opponent to you so you don't have to jump over to them and risk it wearing off. Maybe there's something more subtle though with the freeze like priority or hitbox related.

>>11931278
I feel like freeze is harder to jump over, but spear is faster anyway too I'm pretty sure

>>11931278
Doesn't Subzero duck the spear if he shoots the freeze at the same time?
