I really don't like any of those characters. Rain has always been the lamest ninja to me and the rest play like a sack of dead fish. Although, if I had to pick from the list, I'd go with Kenshi. Otherwise I'm gonna say somebody new like Tremor or maybe even Motaro.
I voted for Rain, duh. though I believe he'll be in as an unlockable but whatever. supposing he is DLC, he's my first choice and then I'd wanna see Reiko, Frost, robot Smoke and Motaro (centaur version)
My hopes are for mainly Rain and Tanya. Also voted for Shinnok, Sareena and Fujin. No Kenshi, please, we already have Ermac. If he had other creative powers, than OK.
rain ofcourse hes an original member, i never played an mk game after trilogy but i seen my little cousin playing it and the character that stuck out the most was kenshi i thought he was preety cool cause he reminded me of jean claud van-dam from bloodsport when he was blind fold. i dont know whos tanya but if she's the best girl from the mk's after trilogy than i will vote for her just to add another girl in the mix.
New characters, would be what I would like to see in this game. They could grab characters from the known storyline, like maybe more gods, or something.
Most of the newer, post MK3 characters were terrible though, in both design, and execution. It's like Boon's team did little in the way of research, and just threw shit together, with stupid "asian sounding names", and threw them in.
