A few brief things that I believe about this game (feel free to shoot down
anything that you don't believe, as long as you give reasons for it):

I think that Kung Lao is probably the worst of the twelve characters, simply
because he has the weakest arsenal of special moves.  His hat toss is the
only useful one in any situation.  His spin has a very limited area of effect,
and might be useful if you could pull it off in about a quarter of a second.
His teleport leaves him open for a long time once he gets to the other side
(nobody has found a way to attack during his teleport, correct?).  But then,
in my eyes, Kano was the worst character in the first one because all his
special moves could be countered except for special circumstances, but I don't
want to open up a "Kano is God" debate if I can help it, so ...

Shang Tsung.  The best of characters, the worst of characters.  He can
theoretically do any move in the game, and his regular form isn't too weak.
However, you need the time to morph, and until the morphs become a reflex
action for me (right now I need the "sheet o' morphs" to pull it off), as
well as all the other character's moves, he'll not have his full potential.

Finally, I am almost convinced that there is only one way that might work for
Sub-Zero and Raiden's fatalities.  When it says "Finish Him," throw in another
quarter and press your start button.  It may take pity on you and give you the
fatality.  Anybody got any better ideas?  :)
