this thread is basically talking about your impressions of the characters you have played as in the game, who do you like the most? who do you think is the weakest fighter in the game ect, feel free to rate every character in the game if you wish, just a general thread about characters

im going to get the game when my friend buys it for me in new zealand and then i'll play it but i cant exacly rate any characters yet but so far Baraka,Kabal,Kano,Noob,Quan Chi and Sektor look like the most interesting characters to me(atm)
 
Ermac:
He's currently my favorite character to play as in the game. If you played Scorpion in the demo and learnt his combos, you should feel right at home with Ermac. I was able to do FP,BP, Force Lift, j.BP, Teleport Punch, dash, FP, BP, Force Push combo (about 25%+damage) after 5 minutes of playing Ermac in training mode. His enhance lift and push are excellent though his ex teleport punch is a bit lacking as it is not safe on block like Scorpion's is. His X-ray is really easy to combo. I can combo it in 2 places in the aforementioned combo. After the force lift, or after the air teleport punch. I think Ermac is a solid character for all kinds of players.

Noob Saibot:
I both like him and dislike him ... if that makes any sense. I loved him the moment I saw him in the character gameplay trailer and made it my mission to main him. Unlike Ermac, however, I don't find Noob having any flashy/long combos. I know this is a superficial complaint but I find that other characters can do a lot of damage in a juggle while Noob has to make do with 4-6 hit combos. Then again this might be my inexperience with the game.
However, the reason this might be because of his keepaway style. Noob at full screen is a BEAST! You can safely spam Shadow Tackle to annoy your opponent, since Noob doesn't travel, Saibot does. Shadow Slide to poke them if they block standing. Shadow Knee is a great anti-air, and of course the X-Ray is quick and hits fullscreen. My Noob Bnbs end with Shadow tackle and I haven't been able to find a relaunch combo with him. I think his gameplay is keepaway/combo into disabler/punish, etc. Also, he makes an excellent partner for Ermac in tag. He's decent as he is now, but if pro players find a hugely damaging combo with him, he can easily be top 5.

Jax:
Played about an hour of Jax today. At first glance, all his moves have really impactful animations. Everyone in the room goes 'F yeah' once you connect with any of his grabs. His combos are simple but do great damage. The forward lunging special is mad fast and the super armor on his unblockable X-ray really helps him out a lot. The only gripe I have with Jax is his ground pound is very situational.
 
thanks for the nice descriptions of noob,jax and ermac sounds like they all have good points and disadvantages which is a great thing about the game

i cannot wait till i can play this game pity its going to a be a few months till i can but the more i read about the characters the more excited i get

you know that person you spoiler alerted was revealed right? not officially but in the xbox marketplace photos, i dont think theres a need to spoiler alert it
 
so far i found smoke to be the easiest charcter to use. his speed is incredible and he is very easy to pick up. i don't like liu kang at all. sub is cool and jax is badass. i was kind of bummed with some of the character graphics at first (story mode) and then realized that those were just alts. awesome game the more i play it the more i love it.
 
oh this sucks ! you guys make me want the game more and more !.
i have to wait 1 1/2 hrs before i get my hand on the game case.

damn gamestop wasn't doing the midnight release ! ugh !

i will be playing for a long time after i get the game.

Kano is an awesome fighter
hes pretty fast and have sum good juggle combos too
especially when u finish a combo with his choke grab
only thing i hate is the button combination to do the cannoball
the upward one is right,up,x (cant remember at moment)
and his straight cannonball is like Left down left right sumthing llike that
it never comes out when i need it too but overall i enjoy using him
 
I just got the game... and got the achievement for the half-way completion... I'm not a fan of Smoke...

Kitana is ferocious though... looking forward to playing more of the characters...
