I do want Kitana to come back to the light not before seeing how she and Liu do as the new rulers of the Netherrealm though I WISHED Shinnok's throne should have been given to Noob Saibot. If Boon and the team are going to go with a non-canon resurrection costume reveal for MKXI like last game, then I'd be pretty disappointed that they ran out of ideas for giving a shit about her. The old timeline Kitana was much more badass unlike the new timeline, she actually KNEW Shao Kahn was not her father and that Mileena (who she knew for 1000 years and wasn't created immediately like MK9) was not her sister and wanted to Liu to help her free Edenia. She broke Shao's mind control on Sindel in MK3, broke herself free from the Netherrealm and led her allies against Shinnok's forces in Edenia in MK4, lead a FUCKING army alongside Goro in a preemptive strike against Shao Kahn in Deadly Alliance, and the Forces of Light in the battle of Armageddon and KILLED Shao Kahn in the non-altered timeline. And she did all of that because she wanted to restore her realm in reparation for all the sins she committed as a bloodthirsty assassin under Shao Kahn. New timeline Kitana doesn't really feel any guilt over her actions and that's not the humane Kitana I'm looking for. The old Kitana was actually going through an identity crisis whether her talent in killing was all nurtured by Shao Kahn when she was small or in nature she had that tendency with her all along. After they're "trying" to make her and Liu evil, restore both of them and actually make her remorseful for her actions and not a bitch like Sonya. Maybe it's Jade after all who frees her and knows that Kitana is not in the best state to be in the political situation to take Edenian leadership so she preps her up. I can see a lot of Edenians being highly resentful of Kitana and the royal family for their previous actions especially Tanya who really is not in the mood for a monarchial Edenia again which is not evil, she wants a free Edenia as much as everyone else. Whether civil war or not, I'm so sure where Kitana's path might go. I could go bitchpath and instigate civil war, but Jade who no longer has any desires in politics retires from the royal family and retreats to an Outworld oasis, but I think Kitana's character would be a little overkill. Whatever path, I do want Kitana to BECOME Queen once Sindel dies and take the main mantle. But I'm definitely hoping for more interactions especially other Edenians like Taven and Jade and more Liu/Kitana moments than MK9.

KIntaro, I like the guy. Much more potential than Goro. Would like him to be more than, "Grrrr I'm an angry kitty," and more like a leader for the Tigrar cause.

Overall I'm going for Kitana.

Kitana gets the vote.

Kitana gets it because she's been my favorite character since I saw and played Mortal Kombat for the first time. (First game was Deadlly Alliance). So no matter what, Kitana will ALWAYS get my vote and she earned it too, given her look, moveset, and story mode role in the recent games. I think in the next game, Kitana should finally become queen of Edenia (like in her ending) and that would really improve her storyline. Kitana should also get Fujin's wind based attacks and Fujin being a god, should get new godly powers.

Kintaro is cool, but I believe there are too many Shokans with the same moveset and Kintaro hasn't had a story yet. Kintaro's unique moveset should be transferred to Goro (or vice versa) and Sheeva should be kept as the female Shokan with more unique moves. Kintaro has a more fear factor than Goro, so NetherRealm should embrace that and make Kintaro or Goro the "hard-core male Shokan".

Kintaro.

Kitana was never good, but she just got more horrible in MKX with her forced storyline, and huge [environmentally concerned] face.

A mysterious warrior with age indeterminate! A young chosen hero with blessed blood! Shujinko is a master of many arts, wielding powerful techniques learned on the path set by an ethereal master. Believing himself to be chosen champion of the gods, he prolongs his life to fulfill his quest. Cassie Cage is the daughter of Earthrealm's greatest surviving champions! She is the beneficiary of her father's years of training with masters, and her mother's militant disciplines. Two warriors on the same path! Who is the true chosen one? Choose their destiny!... FIGHT!

Voted Shujinko tbh. Cassie was cool to see the first time to me, but quickly became grating as time went on. She's become nothing special imo.

Shujinko is an idiot, but I feel he's a lovable idiot. I like his cool old man kung fu look too.

I love Cassies chatacter she's got her dad's personality with her mom's body, she's just amazing. Plus she inexplicably defeats shinnok so that's a plus.

It is time for Cassie Cage to do the most impossible task in all of MK history...beating the shit out of an old man without asking his name XD

At this point I could see Shujinko as killable and Cassie in less of a role in the next game than MKX. Meh.

Shujinko.

I would have voted Cassie, but my gripe with her is that story mode Cassie and matchup/intro Cassie seem like two different people.

Plus, I've always been a fan of Shujinko anyway.

Cassandra, I never really liked Shujinko, but ill admit his conquest in Deception was a huge treat back in the day, loved exploring the realms like that.

Shujinko!

Cassie is one of the worst characters in MK.

Don't be duped by the dislike for Hsu Hao that Ed Boon initiated and supported. That's really not such a bad character like Cassie

Cassie and it's not even close.

I'm surprised Shujinko has as many votes as he does. Most likely people vote for him because of a dislike for Cassie, which is fine. But other than that I can't think of a single reason to vote for Shitjinko.

Shujinko was almost like silent protagonist you put your personality into, and Cassie is the sassy MK millennial. I have to go with Cassie for what she can do in the future. Shujinko had a nice arc, but he doesn't have many places to go when it's over. And if you hate Cassie because of her similarities to her parents, then why would you ever like Shujinko? He's like the student of every MK character.
