How about least favorite MKII characters? |
Mileena, I wasn't too fond of, but I think either Baraka or Jax were my least favorite. Baraka was just kind of a monster that was the token "cheap" character (see Oddjob in "Goldeneye" for example). Jax was kind of a generic black man. I wouldn't like Jax until he donned the metal arms in MK3, cause I'm a sucker for 'borgs' (yes, the term "borg" was just intentionally misused).
I also hated Noob Saibot for being the stupidest secret character of all time (or at least in that game).

Noob wasn't stupid... but he was really, really cheap.

Liu Kang. He was a good fighter to be and a bit fun to play with, but I hated his character and story. Just a boring stereotypical hero character. If we were talking about all Mortal Kombats, Bo'Rai Cho is the worst MK Character of all time.

I still say that Stryker was the worst MK character ever.
I also wasn't too fond of Nitara. She was an all right character, but her character model could have been done a lot better.

My knowledge of the MK universe and its characters stopped at 4. But I have to saw one of the characters I just didn't care that much for would have to be either Sektor or Khameleon.

I always thought Kano was pretty useless.

I didn't thnk Doom was too unfaithful - fighting monsters on Mars, isn't that the story of Doom? I mean, sure, they made them genetically-engineered instead of opening a portal to Hell, but still - fighting monsters on Mars.
I did find that first-person shooter segment literally nauseating, though. And my biggest complaint was they didn't bring enough of the totally ridiculous-looking demons into the movie (cacodemon, I'm looking at you). |
The Doom movie was really, really bad. So bad, in fact, that I wrote a Metroid movie script in honor of it's accuracy to the game. This is more of a summary of the script, but you get the idea. Here goes:
Samus, the smartest man in his space squad, finally stepped onto the planet SRR3R38 to kill the last of the Metroids. What the metroids were was a mystery, all that the science team knew was that they used to be humans that somehow got mutated into metroids through a chromosome. Samus grabbed his shotgun and told his squad, "Cover me, guys, because I'm the toughest space pirate ever." A metroid then suddly popped out and ran at Samus. Samus dodged the Metroid's charge and ducked under its claw attack. Samus shot the Metroid with his shotgun, barely surviving the attack of flying snakes that the Metroid shot at him. Suddenly, a shadow was cast from behind Samus. Samus, without turning around, said, "Ridley, I knew you'd show up." Samus turned around saw his enemy Ridley, the neighborhood bully ever since Samus was a kid. Ridley responded cooly with, "Samus, you're the dumbest guy ever. I knew you'd never be a good space pirate. I'm the best bounty hunter ever, something you could never be." Samus whispered, "I could have been a bounty hunter if I wanted to be the scum of the galaxy like you." Ridley walked off for no reason, leaving Samus confused. Samus and his squad made their way deeper into the space planet base, using their screw attacks and whatnot to go there. Also, grappling beams. Finally they arrived in the computer lab and saw a woman. She was a beautiful woman who was working on a keyboard in the midst of a dimly lit lab. "Mother Brain.", said Samus. "Surprised to see me? You knew I'd be here at the end, waiting for you. I've always loved you.", said Mother Brain. Samus said, "I don't understand why you left me and became a computer hacker, changing your name to Mother Brain. Let's just leave this place, it's hell. It always has been. I remember when bad things happened here when I was young. But hey, let's not go into that. I love you." Suddenly, the base's countdown explosion started. Ridley came back and attacked Samus and Mother Brain, but he lost. The End.

Murdar, didn't you post your Metroid treatment elsewhere in the forums a while back?
I agree with Cattivo's choices on least favorite MK II characters. I never liked Mileena, and I don't remember Jax having any particularly memorable moves. And I was never a huge fan of Johnny Cage, but that was because the way he controlled always seemed a bit wonky.
And yes, Stryker is absolutely the worst MK character ever.

There were a whole bunch of MKIII characters that I couldn't stand, such as all those damn palette-swapped robots, but of all time my least favorite character - Kano in MKI. Just useless, totally useless. And his fatality was just ripped straight from Temple of Doom. Also, his white costume looked awful.

I totally am
The worst character in MK history, eh? I'd say Sindel. Never liked her powers, look, control, strength, etc. All she really had going for her was the hair. And every time I play as her, I can only think of that blasted movie: "Too bad... you... will... DIE!" ugh...
EDIT: Apparently, Noob Saibot is really the original Sub-Zero... grrrrr... I'm fairly sure that's been retconned

Jax can pretty cool. I forget how he works in MK2, but in later games he could chain throws to do sick damage.
And yeah, I'm down for some MK2.

I've always liked Stryker, and never understood the hatred for him. He was an ordinary man in extraordinary circumstances. Plus, he was a pretty decent fighter. I'm excited for him to make his long awaited return in Armageddon, and his character model is much awesomer than before.

I just like him for kinda resembling Cole Hauser, physically and in personality.

Hello, Syd. I'm just using this forum to introduce myself. I've been reading your articles since April, but this is my first post.
Anyway, I haven't played arcade MK 2, but I have played it on the Super Nintendo. My favorite characters are Raiden, Sub-Zero, and Baraka.
Also, how do you post an avatar?
Thanks!

Hi, welcome to the forums!
I activated your other account registrations manually, but the confirmation e-mails kept bouncing back...
The site does not currently allow avatar uploads. You can either use an image from elsewhere on the web (as you are doing now) or use one from the site's avatar gallery.

Yeah, I figured it out, thanks Syd!
Anyway, the emails bounced back because Hotmail deactivated my account.
Sorry about that.
