Sub-Zero

Sub-Zero AND Scorpion. They just have to go together on this.

id like to say sub-zero but for me its shang stung! i mean here is a guy who can morph into any fighter he wants to! he can take ur soul if he defeats you and he is a original character! he has been around for so long and has even killed liu kang (earths greatest warrior)! he is the master of evil and i think he does define mortal kombat!

PsychoFight Wrote: No, I'm not asking who you're favorite character is. I'm asking what character DEFINES Mortal Kombat. When you look at him/her, you think, "THAT'S Mortal Kombat." Someone who's got the storyline and moves, somebody that puts their foot down and says, "THIS is Mortal Kombat." For me, that title belongs to Sub-Zero.

Well if you guys mean 'when I see them i think of the game' then obviously Subz and Scorp.

BUT if you mean who is the embodiment of Mortal Kombat, then I would have to say Liu Kang, the Great Kung Lao and to a lesser extent current Kung Lao.

Liu Kang was a noble warrior monk, like Kung Lao the great, and worthy champion. A supremely skilled fighter (just look at how he beats the sh*t out of former champ Shang in the intro of MKDA, until Quan intervenes) he is the perfect champion. The same applies to great Kung Lao, as he had the same attributes as Kang. And current Lao is also a definative of the tournament, clear minded and set on acheiving his goal. They were just regular fighters (ok Kang learnt the fireball) but other than that, they to me define what Mortal Kombat is all about.

Sorry guys but Liu Kang is sadly where it's at when it comes to the embodiment of MK. I hate his guts too.

Guess it depends on how you define Mortal Kombat.
I personally define it as dark, brooding, and ominous, but underneath a deep, complex story of nobility, honor and good against evil.

To me, the characters who best fit that are Scorpion and Sub-Zero.

RAIN!
What other game is MAN ENOUGH to have a male purple ninja?

Sub Zero/Scorpion I think.

I'd say Scorpion.. anyone whos even heard of MK knows "GET OVER HERE!"

Scorpion. That reference to everyone knowing "Get over here" is part of the reason why. I think he is the Hulk Hogan of MK.

Please refrain from bumping threads of this age. ~Crow~

No bumping, thread closed, blah blah blah. How come this always occurs in the Classic forum the most?

In my opinion the character who defines Mortal Kombat is Goro. Until Mortal Kombat was released no one had ever seen anything like the Shokan Prince and quite frankly there hasn't been anything like him since. Shang Tsung might've been the boss of MK1 but Goro was the real bad guy.
