If you ask me, all the characters in MK9 never looked & played better. MK team really did an outstanding job with this game and returned the characters to their former glory and even higher.
My question is, were there some characters you used to dislike but you changed your opinion and started to actually like? Tell us what made you change your mind.

I never thought I would say this, but Noob Saibot is freaking cool in this game. He was probably in my top 5 least favourite MK characters until I watched his MK9 reveal trailer and I was blown away. His moves are sick, love his design and voice.

Honorable mention is Stryker, I remember people refusing to believe that he has potential, some even said they won't buy MK9 if Stryker is in it. Right now almost everyone likes him.
 
This game just kind of enhanced my hate for Kabal.

EDIT: Misread the title. Stryker has become one of my favorite characters now. In fact I even switched him to my main in UMK3.

I would also say Noob Saibot. I thought he was lame since he first appeared in MK2. However, I am impressed with his MK9 incarnation.
 
Sheeva really redeemed herself in this game. She's pretty unique and hard to play well, but once you do it, it's vert satisfying.

My top 5 in MK used to be: Kung Lao, Nightwolf, Kenshi, Ermac and Rain, but this game changed my top a bit.

Cyrax, who used to be one of my favourites, became of my most hated characters. Kung Lao does not have a playstyle that I personally like. Raiden, who used to be my favourite back in MK2 days, became unbearable to play with. Smoke, one of my favourites 8 years ago, disappointed me.

But overall, every character is pretty good in MK9. Honestly. Everyone has their own fanbase and their own play style. It's a pity characters like Freddy are so out of place and have absolutely NOTHING to do with the rest of the cast...
 
My mains used to be

Noob, Kung Lao, Kenshi, Reptile, and Johnny Cage

They have now turned into

Noob, Sub-Zero, Ermac, Rain, and Cyrax
 
sub zero. Ive never liked playing with him at all until MK9. Never really got what he was a bout and how to play with him on the earlier games.
 
I never hated Nightwolf in MK3 / UMK3, but I never used him either.
He is my main now.

I used to MAIN Noob Saibot, but his combos in MK9 suck, and they've turned him into a spam / zone character.
He's still my favorite charcter.
I just hate what they did with him, gameplay-wise, in MK9.
