What was your favorite character in Story?

Character-wise I enjoyed Sub-Zero. I don't know why but to me he seemed to be the most honorable guy in the game (the younger brother). I'm not sure why, I just liked him as a person the whole way through.

Gameplay-wise I would go with... Now that I think about, I didn't enjoy Story Mode's gameplay pieces AT ALL, no matter the character. Stupid 2v1 fights.
 
Story-wise I gotta go with Scorpion. Despite being a specter of vengeance he displayed a level of humanity that few other characters in the series have.
Spoiler:
When Raiden promised redemption for his clan, Scorpion promised to lay down his claim to Sub-Zero's life. Considering he is kept alive (or undead) by his thirst for vengeance, this act could very well have ended his life. When he defeats Sub-Zero, he does as he promised and spares him, but is tricked and enraged by Quan Chi's lies. When Scorpion comes before Raiden and the others with Sub-Zero's skull he looked ashamed and self-loathing. He understood that he betrayed his word and took a life as mercilessly as his life was once taken. This shame and hatred leads him along for the rest of the story, acting as a pawn of Quan Chi for fear of taking matters into his own hands again and deepening his own self-destruction.


As far as fighting, I never lost a round as Scorpion and he's a whole lotta fun to fight as. Stryker was also a really enjoyable character to play as that I probably wouldn't have chosen to play of my own accord. The story did a good job of giving me a taste of all kinds of characters and play styles.
 
I loved Nightwolf in Story Mode.

Spoiler:
He went out like a bad ass & took Sindel with him

Story wise I really loved the Sektor part (where you get to see the Lin Kuei before automation) and the Nightwolf chapter... That's when the shizzle hit the fan!!

Was surprised with a lot of deaths though... i mean, i was like mouth open, staring @ the tv wtf?!

What will they do with all them death characters in a next installment? Zombiefy the whole lot?

Completely agree with this. Very well done by the animators and the story writers.

Honorable mention to Cage's one liners too ("I'll take you out, I'll take you out, I'll take you out...to diner"). Very in-character.

Having said that, having a random loathing for all "good-guys", it was a real struggle playing them sometimes. Smoke might have a cool moveset, but his whiney demeanor really ruined him for me. Cyrax and Sektor were also quite well done in story though.
 
I hate the entire storymode its made up by kids (it seems) it is only liked by kids without any sense of originality in their blood and brains and all characters are messed up and made into boring stupids, also all badguys are lower in rank than the Tarkatan hordes.

Really many people could make this story more worth my time, including myself.

This is a horrible story and NONE of the characters made sense.

The only character I enjoyed a little bit was Nightwolf, but still he was not used right, he should have purified Scorpion by putting him against Quan Chi by showing Scorpion the true events happend to his family by visions. Maybe even saving Ermac and Sindel not killing himself in the progress.

Anyway like I said I hate the storymode and it sucks on all characters, the chapter system is most to blame.
 
The story has serious flaws, I agree but regardless, it had some decent moments.

I loved Cyber Sub Zero & Nightwolf.

I thought Smoke was completely useless and a disappointment storywise and I hate what they did to Mileena
 
It was largely a story of Radian and Quan Chi, so I have to go with those characters.

Johnny Cage actually had me laughing out loud, though, so he gets a nod as well.

I loved Sub-Zero more than ever after seeing his human chapters.
Everything he says is just full of awesomeness.

(TOO BAD CYBER SUB-ZERO IS A PIECE OF CRAP)

And thank the devs Johnny Cage is alive.
Spoiler:
One thing I noticed in the story, is that by Raiden saving Johnny Cage and killing off Motaro, he caused Sindel to go to Earthrealm personally and kill everyone else... Lol
 
Anyone for Kabal? Liked his appearance and the way he acts in the story.
Too bad there is no chapter for Noob. Wanted to know more about his intentions
 
My favorite character is Liu kang, but I hate him in the story... Scorpion is one of the most easily manipulated characters, and smoke was boring. But I liked Johnny cage in the story, made me lol. Human sub zero was cool too
