Rate the NEW characters and stages!

Kotal Kahn is the best new guy so far - 8,5/10
Cassie Cage - so far is the weakest, just a mix between couple old characters with minimum new ideas and uninspired design - 3/10, will take old Johnny Cage over her any day.

I understand you said "so far" but calling Cassie out like that is a little rough considering we know so little about her right now. And though she is technically a mix between Sonya and Johnny, she makes their traits her own.
 
This is not rough, i saw her in action in couple of videos with 2 different styles (is there a Hollywood style video btw?), i didn't like what i saw at all.
 
I'd love to play as Cassie Cage! Her low blow with that stick made my decision. ;)

Cassie is cleary NOT my favorite, and her chara design looks a bit lazy, for me... but at least she wears real boots for fighting, and not high heels like ANY female characters in MK 9!! No kidding, how do you fight on high heels ??

Do anyone knows if she's got the Shadow Kick ? i didn't saw it (in her "Hollywood" stance, maybe...)

The more i see D'Vorha and Ferra Torr, the more i love them ! GREAT JOB, NRS !!

So far, every character and every stage is 10/10, except for Cassie and Kotal : 9/10 only...

Update after all the gameplay videos i saw:

D'Vorah: 10/10 - My favorite new character, i love her design, her moves, her X-Ray and that Fatality they showed. Also i love those little things about her acting like a bug when falling and standing up, her voice...
She is maybe most unique and most creative new MK character in a long time.

Torr/Ferra: 8/10 - They are different and that's what i like the most. Let's be real Torr alone would be just one more of those huge characters, we had and have them a lot! I would give him 5/10 but with Ferra on his back it's something completely new and different for MK, i love how Ferra can stab him to make him rage and boost his power...

Kotal Kahn: 6/10 - Not feeling him, ok character and that's all. Remids me of Kratos little bit, nothing new really.

Cassie Cage: 5/10 - Worst of them to me, it's not creative and there is nothing new/unique about her. It's not that i don't like her or that i hate her, i just don't care about her for now. She also looks unfinished to me.



I love all 3 stages they showed.

In a way I agree. I mean, I definitely don't hate her. But her outfit and general look seem to be lacking a bit of flair. Just looks like she showed up in a wetsuit with some holsters. Could very well be that the quality we've seen on the videos of her is taking away a bit of detail too. But yes, she does seem a bit bland compared to everyone else in the looks department. Her gameplay looks awesome though.

Can't agree here though. Kotal, being an aztec inspired character, feels completely new to this universe. He looks brutal and awesome

She has something similar to Cammy's Cannon Spike but using her dad's green powers. In other words, she glows in green while performing that attack.
