No I think its because they think they know how to play these characters so
they take them.  I was cheesy once, took Liu Kang and easily won.  But I
prefer playing the new ones.  They are quite I think - good enouygh to
beat the old characters if you get used to them a bit.

Mileena's ground teleport.  Kitana's fan throw and fan lift or whatever.
Barakas moves!  Jax's close moves.  Shang Tsung's fireballs.

I think the people who are taking the old characters are actually missing
out.  Why not just play mK1?  I'll play against an old chracter any day
(though Liu Kang you have to be careful.

Oh yeah, SubZero is tricky playing against.  I dopnt think hes super
good but I get caught by the freeze too often.

LAST NOTE:

Throws dont seem to be as cheap, except when the computer uses them.
How do you do Jax's quadruple slam?  I cant throw with high punch.
