Noob is the only one that can prevent another hilarious Fujin win.

Voted for Noob.

No idea who to vote for, really. On the fence here.

But if this joker wins again over three characters who've actually PAID THEIR DUES in the series, then the tourney will be in need a serious overhaul come next year.

There is nothing for us to be butthurt about, we (the people that don't like Fujin) are the ones winning in this situation. You can keep these MKO tournaments wins and keep on campaigning for that first playable appearance in 10 years though.


So youre winning because a fictional character you dont like keeps being overlooked? Lmao wow, that might just be the most petty and sad thing I have heard in a while but sure, okay.........Lol

Phew...the salt has gotten real the last couple pages. Damn.

And I'm in agreement with Mick here, the Fujin sigs do not fail to get a smirk out of me.

Also, Noob.

I just don't understand it. Am I literally the only person left here who at least appreciates every single canon character this franchise has? I don't think I actively dislike a single one enough to shit all over the character itself and their fanbase, they all have their special little thing about them. Hell, even Mokap and Hsu Hao as ridiculous as they are, I wouldn't mind seeing back in some capacity as they have their special little place in this franchise.

Sub-Zero is in MKX. Noob is not. Easy!

What are you even going to overhaul to stop that? Removing the winner doesn't really make a lot of sense and it doesn't solve the problem of crazy fans getting off their butts to vote. It just means the next crazy pick does better. Fujin is in MKX but I don't remember if Noob gets much more than a mention! Unless staff start picking the winners its just democracy. Everyone loves to throw blame around but the people screwing the fans are usually the fans.

Anyone with an MK Twitter account can tell you they've been bombarded by Fujin tweets sometime in the last two years. I know last year there was an organized effort on DeviantART to get people voting for Fujin, too. I like to think we all know when someone's whining about a collective (or most things), they're usually whining about themselves. Especially when they're present and part of that collective. Lets leave the ill conceived 'us and them' narratives to bedroom sulking.

Semi Final 2! Ermac is the combined power of an army of lost souls. Created with dark magic by Shao Kahn himself, the legion creature was born from the ethereal remains of defeated warriors. He serves Kotal Kahn now, reaching out across the battlefield with the intangible limb of the mind! Fujin is the pounding force of the storm. A god of Earthrealm, he wields the might of the elements descending from the heavens. The deadliest wind is directed against the dark forces who would invade from Netherrealm. Only one warrior can make an impact. Who will it be?... FIGHT!

Voted Ermac, but not because i suddenly 'hate' Fujin. Ermac's growth and change in the past two games has been very interesting, and i like the stylistic choices NRS has made about him. I still feel that Fujin has been dicked out of potential appearances and really needs a chance to shine.

What is this about, anyway? When did the almighty Tobias say this? What was the context and what (if any) were the reasons behind it? I'd love to know if anyone could post a link to the interview or speech or tweet in question.

He didn't actually say that. It's just a meme. I found it funny when I saw it the first time on Mime, because I understood the reference, but then more and more users just started to use it as their sig and the joke died immediately because it became serious.

Voting Fujin, because he's probably my favorite character right next to Shinnok. I like Ermac a lot as well, but it's not a tough decision for me.

How the hell is Fujin your favorite character? He's done absolutely nothing for the MK series. What a stupid statement.

Also, can I just say this is the most predictable finale ever. You guys and your ninja obsession.

Ermac started off as a ninja. Don't know why Midway changed him. The current Ermac should've been a new character.

How is it a stupid statement that Fujin is my favorite character? Yeah, he may not be a stand-out character who's done a lot for the franchise or the games in general, but I don't really understand why that even matters. What matters is that everyone has their favorite characters for their own personal reasons.

Well, we're turning back the clock to 2014 here, when I regularly drained my phone battery checking the poll results a bajillion times at work as Ermac got closer to the final round.

Even if he does somehow make it back to the final this year, he'll lose to Noob anyway, but I'll be satisfied nonetheless because this was a hell of a comeback from last year's disaster.

As for the ninja debate, he's not even a ninja anymore. But semantics, I guess.
