My question to you is, how do we determine which one is the worst out of them all? How exactly is Hsu Hao the worst? If we judge by his moves or story, you must agree with me that there are more uninspired characters in the series than him, right?

He had some interesting moves, but had literally nothing going for him in terms of story, he was just a Red Dragon goon no ambition or motivation behind his actions as his ending is pretty much him going on an other mission like nothing happened.
Most of the guys you've mentioned like Daegon, Darrius, Dairou and even Kobra and Kira all had some sort of drive or the like to their actions but Hsu Hao doesn't even display emotion, ever. This is even Lampshaded in his Armageddon ending which describes his true self as "a demon of emptiness and desolation". He IS the worse character as far as far as story's concerned, bar joke characters, though there are some characters that are only scarcely better, Li Mei, Jarek and Reiko (if he didn't have that mysterious ending) and the like.

Fair enough, but a lot of people genuinely believe he's the worst character. You kind of implied that everybody who thinks he's the worst character in the game only thinks that because of Boon.

That is wrong.

He has undoubtedly influenced the opinion that Hsu Hao is the worst character, but mostly for the people who didn't have an opinion in the first place.

"Worst" is subjective. When people say worst, they usually mean their least favourite. You can't just claim that just because Hsu Hao is somebody's least favourite character, that they're hopping on a bandwagon. I know now that isn't what you meant, but that's what it sounded like at first.

Obviously, there is no best and worst character for fact; that goes without saying, but I didn't think that anybody needed to mention it. It's common sense.

Just a miscommunication, I guess.

I never said EVERYONE who thinks he is the worst character was influenced by Boon, but I am glad we came to a understanding.
 
If he was revamped nicely... Then yes NRS has proven they can turn characters around for the better, although I never thought he was that bad but he was far from good as well
 
Should I do the 3 Day period or 2 Day? I'd really like suggestions guys because more than likely there's going to be people coming in voting for previous characters when we've finished them already.
 
Thanks, since no one else spoke up, 3 days it is. The next round starts tomorrow so if people have not placed votes, you may do so til tomorrow.
 
Ick. Three days? That's a bit much. I guarantee you don't get many more votes between now and tomorrow. lol There seems to be a specific group of people who participate in this thread and most if not all have already voted. lol
 
LOL, okay fine, I'll start the next round as soon as the France-Germany game is over, so last minute votes should come in for the next hour or so.
 
With a vote of 4-23... Hsu Hao gets a NO!

Up next...

JADE

Think she's the best looking female in MK, but I'm gonna have to say NO, not much to offer in terms of Story.
 
As much as I like her character, I've got to say no. She doesn't really contribute much to the story, and, whilst they could improve her, I think that it's better for NRS to focus on other characters for this entry in the series.
 
NO for MKX. But I would definitely like to see her come back in the future. They could do a lot more with her. But unless the reason behind her resurrection is well written, I'd much rather her stay dead.
 
I didn't vote, but Hsu Hao was a YES from me.

People should stop being sheep and start thinking for themselves. Hsu Hao IS NOT a bad character, not by a mile. He actually IS diferent and HAS diferent moves and gameplay, his blades were pretty kick ass. His story was not THAT bad. His visual was not THAT bad apart from his face and hat. I could write at least 10 characters that are much weaker than him and some of them you will probably like.

Seriously guys, stop copypasting Boon's opinions. Not everyone wants to kiss Scorpion's penis. Do you?

Jade is a YES. The prettiest female in MK. However, I don't see her make the cut in X.
 
If I was a man, I certainly want her in my bed... but it's not the question.

I like so much this character but I hope all the dead characters of MK9 stay dead for at least one entire game, so I vote NO.

I just want you to know that I respect you immensely right now for shoving some rationality into the conversation.

Now, as for Jade...uh no. Even in a world of flat characters, Jade stands out as a completely generic void. The royal guard story can only go so far. And MK9 showed that NRS was in no hurry to fix this. The boomerang's cool, but that's about it.

Typical Hipster attitude. Just because there is a popular opinion doesn't mean a bandwagon has formed. Seriously, his story wasn't that bad by being Mavado's and a target for Jax?

Name those ten characters then.
 
Jade gets a NO! from me for reasons already stated above, I also believe the dead MK9 characters should stay dead for at least one game, so that other old/new characters can have their time to shine.
 
YES! I successfully talked my dad into naming a green parakeet bird we adopted after her, believe it or not.
