The roster of characters featured in Mortal Kombat 1 features a nice blend of iconic and classic fighters from the series' past, making it extremely varied and well worth experimenting with several of them to test out their different fighting styles. Each combatant has their own strengths and drawbacks in Mortal Kombat 1, but there are still a few that NetherRealm put some extra work into to ensure they were as fun as possible to play, whether this be due to their unique attacks, ease of use, or even simply their animations.
