sometimes people dont like it when their characters get altered. While I do not hate all of these, they are different versions of characters that have had some negative reception among fans. Some more than others.
Unmasked Sub-Zero
The first character do have something largly altered to him. Some critisms came from people who didnt like the fact that the most iconic Ninja revealed his face. His face itself also gets made fun of alot too. But hey, he's got shiny hair!
Robo Smoke
highly doubt this one made people as angry as the others(like someone would really be that attatched to a non playable character in MK2 enough to get mad at this) But It was only fair to put him on the list, as he still is an alternate version. If there are any old farts on this forum who were mad at smoke turning into a robot in 1995, please let me know
MK4 Reptile
while not having an official name for his new look, this reptile usually gets made fun of more than the others. The dorkyness turned some people away, and was also the first step into turning him more reptilian from then on , instead of a lizard diquised as a human like he used to be.
Zombie Lui Kang
quite arguably the first sign where the series started jumping the shark for the worst. Like it or not, it happened.
Dark Raiden
never understood why some people hated this, I though he looked pretty cool.(kinda like how people were whining over smokes hair in mk9) Oh well
Smokey Smoke
this one....really sucks. Was just a walking smoke ball with overalls on. Teamed up with Noob in MK Deception to form the Noob/Smoke Alliance. (the most heterosexual thing evar known to Mortal Kombat. Honest!)
Cyber Sub-Zero
new kid on the block. Boon's idea of innovation (see zombie lui kang)
Is unknown if he will return in future titles
