Ok, I don't get all the hatred for people that use so called "noob characters" such as Scorpion (allegedly). I don't believe in the existance of easy to use noob characters for MK9. Every character in MK9 has deep competitive game. Everyones special moves are easy to do & everyone has effective moves. Sure there's a lot of people that use Scorpion, because his character kicks ass. Let em enjoy it. The more popular a character, the better I say. I wanna see MK achieve as much success as possible. I've been waitin over 15 years for a good MK game, & I finally got one. Could be the best yet! I think there's a lot of people that's new to Mortal Kombat that are choosing Scorp because they like the character, not because he's easy to use or "overpowered". There's also oldschool fans that are good players choosin Scorp cuz they've been a fan of his since MK1. Scorpion isn't that cheap, his moves are pretty easy to defend against & counter. I say let the noobs choose who they want, were not helpin matters by criticizing they're character choice & makin em feel dumb. Whatever happened to integrity & showmanship? I dominate every one I know around here, & I don't talk shit to em afterward. I like to keep em playin & try to keep em enjoyin MK 20 beatdowns later. If someone talked crap to me nonstop when I was first playin MK1 in the arcades, I prolly woulda got frustrated & said screw this game, & I'd be on a damn Street Fighter forum right now instead. In my opinion every character in the game has pro potential (ok, maybe not sheeva, ha jk).I'm glad they made every character kick ass in this game. I'm still in a dilemma about who I should main, too many good choices to choose from.
