Jeeezus, this poll needs way more Raiden. He, along with Shang Tsung, has had the best character development of the MK characters. Can't wait to see "vengeful" Raiden ready to kick everyone's ass in the next MK, if what happened to him in MK Deception becomes canon. Have a feeling we may have to wait for the first next gen MK for that though, looks like Armageddon is sort of the MK Trilogy of current gen MK games...meaning the storyline here may not "count" and it's just an excuse to cram everyone into one game.
Also, allow me to say it's damn annoying that they insisted on having Quan Chi squeak by Shang Tsung when they fought at the beginning of MK Deception. Shang Tsung should have wasted him.
Along those same lines - they need to bring back Shao Khan as the boss. I kept hoping for him to show up in Deception after you beat the Dragon King, but no luck. Unless you have the Gamecube version, anyway.

QFT twice because it's so correct. I remember buying that game and taknig it to a friends house, and when we watched the opening movie I kept thinking "they wouldn't kill him here." Say what you will about MK's fight mechanics compared to SFII (2D) or VF (3D), but MK's story/mythology kicks the crap out of both of those games' storylines. You think you'd ever see them have Bison and Vega kill off Ryu at the beginning of Street Fighter 4, only to have Sagat look to avenge his rival...or even have a story, for that matter? MK's story is appealing because, unlike most major comic books or game franchises, they aren't afraid to mess with the cast of characters.
