DISCLAIMER: Most of this is my opinion or a stereotype generated by the community. If you don’t like what is said about your character then you shouldn’t have clicked on the story.

Shang Tsung: Most people who play Shang Tsung don’t actually like him. People pick him because it is aggravating to go against one of the best zoners in the game. If your objective is to make people mad through projectile spam and zoning, then this is your character.

Shao Kahn: I feel bad for anyone who actually mains this guy. Always been a lower tier heavy weight with mediocre frame data. At least you guys actually got a buff this game.

Frost: Go away

Nightwolf: A genuinely respectable character. Not terribly strong, and far from the worst character. I enjoyed him coming back to this game. He was actually the main reason I bought the Aftermath dlc. Shout outs to Mr. Lister for being a Nightwolf main.

Joker: You either play him because you’re a Joker stan, or you enjoy abusing top-tiers.

Johnny Cage: The definition of a consistent character. People who play Johnny probably use him as a role model one way or another. Johnny Cage players are honest and do what they do without much prior thought. They love him for his personality and playstyle. I respect y’all.

Sonya: Tryhards and I don’t mean that in a good way. Sonya players are aware that their character is broken and try to deny it. “HEr zOnIng anD GAp clOsIng iSN’t THat brOKen”, or “HEr miXUps cAn bE eASily aVoIdeD.” They are probably the type of people to get offended and make excuses when they lose in Mario Kart.

Kano: Who doesn’t love Kano? Although he didn’t get the best role in the story, Kano has become an immediate favorite for me in terms of fictional villains. Kano players are pretty laid back and probably pretty button mashy kind of people. These guys are fun to play with.

Spawn: I’m convinced no one plays Spawn. People play him once and decide that will be their one interaction with him for the rest of their MK career. In terms of the consistent players… above average game sense and below average intelligence.
