Description
I did a top 10 for the ladies so here's my top 10 for the guys... aka NINJAS. Honestly. It's mainly Ninjas. xD
1. Scorpion - The Yellow Ninja. Hanzo Hasashi
"GET OVER HERE!" The undead ninja with the iconic catchphrase hell-bent on revenge for his wife, son and the Shirai Ryu. He is the face of Mortal Kombat and with that iconic spear of his, it's impossible to beat! I personally love that in the last game he and Sub-Zero made peace ending their rivalry.
2. Ermac - The Red Ninja. A fusion of souls.
"We are one" Ominous and mysterious, I love his telekinetic abilities and attacks. He's really fun to play
3. Reptile - The Green Ninja
The first animalistic character. He becomes more and more lizard like in every game. He's creepy, he spits acid. He's a whole load of fun to play. Gotta love Reptile!
4. Noob - The Shadow Ninja. Bi-Han. The original Sub-Zero.
Yes, Noob makes it higher up the list than his brother. Described as "the very incarnation of evil" becoming a corrupt soul and going on a killing spree murdering Scorpion and his family, giving Scorpion his motive for revenge going on to cause the rivalry with current Sub-Zero. However, the reason he is so high up is because not only is he most like your stereotypical ninja all dressed in black, but I find him really fun to play. Being able to create blackholes and summon a shadowed clone to help! Honestly the Shadow tackle and his win pose is a favourite of mine.
5. Baraka - The Tarkatan N- Oh wait! - I've always liked Baraka. I don't know what it is about him. I just like him. Wether it's because he was the original 'creepy' character or because of his epic wolverine-esque arm blades and attacks, or his alliance with my girl Mileena. Baraka HAS to make the list! Another great thing bout him is that although he is evil, he is completely loyal to his master. (Which is essentially Mileena or her 'father' Shao Khan).
6. Rain - The Purple Ninja. The Lost Prince.
I've always liked Rain but it was really his latest apperance in MKX that boosted him this far up the list. I love his new design and the whole nod to Prince (Purple Rain is a PRINCE!) and his alliance with some of my favourite characters (Mileena, Tanya, Baraka)
7. Cyrax - The Robotic (Yellow) Ninja - I really like Sektor too but I think Cyrax has the better backstory (having been reluctant to give up his humanity but forced to, resulting inΒ and having to really fight to get it back) and although I like Sektors missile and rocket moves, I like Cyraxs buzzsaw, net and grenades more too.
8. Kabal
I will come right out and say I am not a Kano fan but the one thing Kano did do right is give Kabal his resurector! I do prefer him when he's unmasked and unscarred but he's fun to play with his fast speed and hook weapons, he has some great combos!
9. Night - The Spirit Guide
I've always liked Nightwolf but just how much seems to wave a bit but he has a cool design and as an animal lover, I really appreciate the spirit friends.
10. Sub-Zero - The Blue Ninja
Sub Zero in Tenth? What is this madness!? I know Sub Zero may seem low, but I like him. He's cool (hurrhurr) and I really like the new bromance between him and Scorpion (there better as a team!), there's just other characters I like more! Thats all!
Yep. I like my Ninjas xD
Honourable Mentions:
Quan Chi, Goro, Smoke & Kung Jin. I like these guys, they just fall short of making the top 10.
