I admit his outfit was stupid, but otherwise Stryker is a good character. He's an average guy who just happens to survive Kahns invasion, is called up to help fight back using modern weapons rather than magic fireballs or whatever. Stryker was an original concept, and fit very well in the Earth invasion plot, far better than the cyborgs, imo.
Characters I don't think they should have bothered with:
Reiko- Boring last minute filler, whos caused years of arguments among MK fans.
Bo Rai Cho- Funny for two minutes. Then just lame.
Kobra- An obvious Ken ripoff. Why did they do it?
There's other characters I don't like, but I think those ones could be improved, or are good ideas gone wrong. I'm not counting Mokap, Meat or Khameleon/Chameleon, since I don't think of them as "real" characters.

a good example of good concept gone wrong would be Shujinko. instead of going for a Pai Mei type, he stole all the other characters moves while training with them..... before they were frikin born!!?? Kobra sounded cool too, until I saw him without the hood. Midway is barely surviving a lawsuit with that.

Nitara... I really don't like her. Have a blood spit as a move is simply ridiculous if you ask me, how is it supposed to hurt anyone?
I don't like her design at all. Meat also was a character that should have never been created, same thing for Jarek and Rain. I was never a big fan of Nightwolf, Stryker, Sheeva , Sindel, Smoke and Ermac.
Kai had potential IMO. Shinnock was a good idea who didn't turn well, as far as Reiko I do like him. He look like a generic bad guy with no real powers but with a cool look(I think). I like Reiko, he is not my favorite character, but he brought some mystery to the MK storyline, this mystery was ruin since the release of MKD... but anyway

Kai,Raiko, jarek, Kintaro was a tad boring to. The rest are pretty ok to me. Shinnok is the leased of the characters, but he did serve a decent purpose.

somebody postet this before but what the f&*k @ss stryker
I'd have to say
tanya-I just don't think of her as a real character

kobra-unoriginal
characters that need fixing
bo'rai cho-get rid of the farting
stryker-change his costume
kira-get your own moves
shujinko-read kira
jarek-read shujinko

Get rid of the old fart Bo Rai Cho
What's sad is there wasn't really any MK characters I hated until MK:DA...then these two showed up.

Seriously....Bo Rai Cho. He just does not belong in MK. Fat, farting, barfing....what the hell?
Who I really hate is that chump Shujinko. He was a little twit to begin with and now he's an old fart in a silly costume. It's ridiculous to watch an 80 year old man in a bath robe dive at your feet and then arch has back enough to kick you in the face. Just plain stupid. Nothing makes me happier than filling his ass with shurikens or stomping his head in. The only thing Shujinko is good for is to watch him chop his own arms off.

saying that fat men doesn't belong in serious fighting is like saying that sumo wrestling can't compete against kung fu.
Which is horribly WRONG! Plus, Zui Quans (Drunken Fist) sub-form has a tactic that deals with overweight fighters. it was called the Sitting buddha or something like that. it was a nickname only, dunno about the real name of the fighter. I daresay that Bo' Rai Chos presence revitalized the MK saga (at least for me)
The following characters should have been left out: Reiko, Jarek, Kai, Meat, Khameleon/Chameleon, Tanya, Sektor, Rain, Human Smoke after the cyborg one (insignificant anyway), Mokap and Shinnok

True, Sumo is a valid style to use. But at least take out the farting and barfing.
0
I've got no problem with fat characters, although Sumo's often a boring style (look at guys like E Honda and Ganryu). But a painfully unfunny farting puking one doesn't belong in MK. Save that crap for rubbish like Clay Fighter.
They could easily make a cool fat fighter, maybe a wrestler. Yeah, MK could do with a better grappler character to go against all the martial artists.

I don't like Bo Rai Cho because he's a filthy drunk, not because he's fat. Actually I like the idea of an older and/or overweight character, but why does he have to be a farting, barfing drunk?


0
1. why does he have to be drunk?
because there is no drunken fist without the drunken. and without the drunken fist he is just a sumo....
2. why does he have to fart and puke?
because he's a dirty old man. thats what midway wanted from him. they wanted him to be as slobbish as possible. you didn't expect an office working, clean-shaving, sweet smelling, good mannered, fat drunk, did you? in an MK game?

I like Bo. It pisses me off that people generally dislike him because he's fat. The puking and farting are a bit excessive, so I can understand those as reasons. But fatness? How shallow.
That said:
Rain, Meat, Jarek, and Stryker need to burn. Slowly. While rotating. Over an open flame.

Exactly, fat people can't do anything right. Therefore, Bo Rai Cho should not have been introduced to MK.

Hey ya'll, I'm new here. So yeah.
Anyway here's my 2 cents.
Bo Rai Cho is an absolute disgrace. He's a fat, drunk retard. He's the only one who should not have been put in the game.
As for the Kobra comments- You guys back off. Kobra is awesome. About the only thing he has in common with Ken is the fact that he has long blonde hair, and his name starts with K. Let's do the weigh in=
Ken wears a red karate jumpsuit.
Kobra wears a Kickboxing outfit.
Ken does SHOTOKAN KARATE.
Kobra does KICKBOXING.
Last time i checked, Kobra does'nt jump into the air and shout Sho-Ryo-Ken! and execute a dragon punch. However, he does to that triple kick in the air.... but Darrius does that as well....
Face it dudes, Kobra is awesome. I only wish he had more style branching combos.....
I wish that Deception has Reptile.....but it does have GORO! ALL HAIL GORO! :P

I disagree about Kobra, he's still way too similar to Ken for comfort. They have almost the same face, with the hair, Kobra wears a different coloured karate gi, and his main style is Shorin Ryu karate, pretty similar to Shotokan. He may have kickboxing as a style, but he's a karate champ, so this is his main style. It's as bad as if Capcom added an MK style ninja, with a few move differences. Plus he's really boring anyway, just another disposable henchman, MKD's answer to Hsu Hao.

I still strongly disagree. I think Kobra has a lot of potential. I think he should turn on Kabal.....
Anyway, not every guy with long blonde hair and a martial arts outfit is a Ken ripoff. their attitudes are totally different, and so are their moves.

Exactly. Bo Rai Cho brings more to the story then hacks like Kobra and Dairou ever will. His design is also good. Hell, I'd kill to have a beard that looked THAT badass.
I say trash characters who have no real depth whatsoever, and perhaps then we'll finally have enough roster space to give developed characters such as Smoke a personal slot..
Heres my list:
Stryker, because he was a fat cop and not much of a mortal kombat character.
Tanya-no one has or ever will get into this character, at least i haven't.
Motaro-Kill me for saying this, but I believe it would have been better to expand on Kintaro more instead of making Motaro.
Hotaru and Dairou-They just suck.
Every one else was ok with me. I never really seen a purpose for Ermac until MKD and i still really don't like him all that much. Shinnok does surve a big purpose in the MK games because if it wasn't for him none of the stuff after mytholigies woulda happend. And Nightwolf was ok but there was just something about him that i didnt like either. He was good in MKD tho. In MK3 he semmed like Shao Kahn's son or something looking at his moves.
