I've always played Kitana and I still love her in MK9, I also used to love Kabal, but in this game he just got surpassed by other characters that for me felt more fun (Noob & Smoke).
Now, as I'm fooling around offline (online still unplayable for me, so I've trained my partner to be my punchbag) I've been discovering much joy in characters that at first I'd written off.
Jax - he's savage, for some reason I just don't want to invest time in learning him, but whenever I play as him I have a lot of fun.
Liu Kang - I always tend to ignore him as 'the bland one', but actually fighting with him is crazy fun, if there weren't so many other great choices out there....
Cyber Sub - Sub-zero but with speed and his moveset just seem to work perfectly, underrated extraordinaire.
Skarlet - easy to overlook, but she is brutal and in my view is the female Scorpion in terms of unforgiving close up attack variety and ease at closing distance.
Rain - I just didn't 'feel' his moves at first, he felt disjointed and didn't feel fluid (ja pun), but have been going back to him a lot now and am finding a lot of depth and versatility.
