kobra is pretty cheap and he is like a rip off of ken so now they just need him to do a jumping spinny kick and spinning upercut adn then u will have ken. lol so kobra has my vote.
I totally agree with Angel, he looks EXACTLY like Ken Masters from Street Fighter; and I'd know, I'm an expert fanboy of nostalgia when it comes to fighting games. He's a totally unneccessary character, much like Reiko, Jarek, Kai, Nitara, and Mavado. He also reminds me of a male version of Sonya.
Half those characters I felt original. The only one not really original was Jarek, and at least he didn't look like Kano.
From my expeirience of MKD, I gotta say Shujinko is cheaper. I mean, to me Kobra just looks like Ken. I honestly don't care about looks. It even gave me a laugh.
So Shujinko, The village idiot, da masta of Realm-hopping disasta, that move stealing SOB, gets my vote.
While Kobra is a Street Fighter rip-off, Shujinko on the other hand is an omage to the Pia-Mei character from 1970's Shaw brothers kung-fu films.
Although theonly thing he shares is apperance. Pia-Mei is a ruthless martial arts pycho master who kills for pleasure were Shujinko is just the idiot with the heart of gold.
