Most Popular:

Scorpion and Ermac will be 60% of what we encounter online



Least Popular:

D'vorah - not many people will be intrested in "bug lady"

Cassie & Jaqi - too vanilla and boring looking
 
Most Popular: Kung Lao, Johnny, and Cassie

Least Popular: Ferra/Torr, Quan Chi

Kung Lao and Johnny were tournament favorites from MK9 and they still look to be huge rushdown characters. Im sure there will be a ton of Cassie players as well. Shes pretty quick herself plus she has a personality that most people enjoy.

Quan Chi and Ferra/Torr just seem like slow, low-tier characters to me. But thats just my impression from WATCHING the game. I wont know for sure until I get my hands on it and use these characters for myself

I don't see a lot of people playing Kotal Kahn.

but honestly, the characters that are going to be used the most are the characters that will be the easiest to do. Most people online don't like to put effort into learning a character and go towards the easily accessible ones.
 
My opinion,

Most popular: Scorpion, Sub-zero, Raiden, Ermac

Least popular: D'vorah, Ferra/Torr, Jacqui Briggs, Quan Chi
 
Most popular without a doubt: Scorpion, Sub-Zero

Likely very popular: Johnny Cage, Kung Lao, Kitana, Ermac, Cassie Cage, Kotal Kahn

Moderately popular: Raiden, Sonya Blade, Liu Kang, Reptile, Mileena, Quan Chi, Kenshi, Erron Black

Unpopular: Kano, Goro, Jax, Shinnok, D'Vorah, Ferra/Torr

Hard to say for Takeda, Kung Jin and Jacqui.
 
Holy shit, Marshall sighting and RockHard sighting in the same week?



Torr is never going to be used. He looks like he's going to be ass n' balls. Even though he's going to be my main.
 
Dvorah and Kung Lao are looking to be my favorites to use.

Ferra Torr will be my least used out of the current roster.

If Ferra/Torr plays anything like Solomon Grundy from Injustice then they will be my main. He was my main in Injustice and I made so many people rage quit with that ridiculous troll combo
 
Sheeva, Sindel, Shang Tsung, Quan Chi and Mileena were the least used characters in MK2011 according to the official site at the time.

For this game, I truly believe Ferra/Torr is not going to be used that much. Not because they're a bad character, but they have barely any projectile power (if none in two of their variations), no teleport (from what I could see) and those things people ADORE to abuse online...
 
Most popular will definitely be Scorpion and Kung Lao. Beginners will be able to pick them up easily and good players will become masters with them. Characters like Ermac and Sub Zero are probably harder to master as they may be slower paced characters than Scorpion/Kung Lao, hence less likely to be picked by new players.

Least popular will be Ferra/Torr but I just say this because we don't know much about him. After playing the story, he/she might become many player's favourite. Who knows?
 
I think we are going to see a good mix of all the characters. But Scorp,Raiden,cassie,Kitana,Ermac,Kung Lao we'll see a lot of those.

Yeah, we'll see a mix in the beginning but when the "official" tier list comes out, people are going to gravitate to the S/A tier characters.

Honestly, I don't care if my character is top or low tier, it's all about having fun. I still don't know who I want to main yet.
 
I don't know and I don't care. I do know who I'm going to use, and that's what really matters.

Sub-Zero, Kenshi, Scorpion, Kitana and D'vorah.
 
I'm tempted to say Ferra/Torr and D'Vorah will not see sustained use after people have initially tried them, but that's being pessimistic and of course we don't know exactly how they will play. My initial thoughts on Ferra/Torr were 'hmm, a tank, very unoriginal' but who knows...

Variations will certainly add a lot to the game, and I'm looking forward to that -- particularly for characters like Shinnok, or guys who have weapons that they will use in a particular variation (Scorpion, Kenshi, Kotal Kahn, etc.)

Favourites will probably be the usual cool/OP types like Scorpion and Ermac, and I can already see Kotal Kahn becoming a very popular and long-lasting MK character; he has a great backstory, a very unique look and interesting variations, he seems somewhat morally ambiguous as opposed to another Shao Kahn or Reiko, and I think he'll be a very powerful fighter.

I'd agree with what a few others have said of late, which is that simply going by what we've seen of Kotal already, I think he'll end up being the most successful new MK character for years. I hope to see him as a roster staple in future games. :)

I think Takeda and Erron Black will be quite popular as well.

Double damage is pointless when everything else he does sucks. A semi-skilled Kung Lao player will dispose of double damage Reptile with ease.

You are drunk beyond all possible belief. Reptile slows down time, with no resources. Trying to fight Reptile online with double lag? Impossibur

And what exactly makes you think everything else he does sucks? He looked really solid.

He just looks weak as hell to me. In a competitive scene... There are better options. Mark my words, you wont see much of Reptile online. There will be an endless stream of Kung Lao's, Jason's and the other two.

But then again, there are still a lot of characters we haven't seen gameplay of yet. So idfk. And no. Not drunk. Sick though. Tomorrow I may very well be sucking Reptile's d!ck. Who knows!
