I find it really hard to close distance with kabal when the opponent is zoning. I might be doing something wrong, but as much as I play Kabal, I pretty much lose as soon as they get full screen and I can't find a fix
Ryan patience is your friend in that case, I have the same issue but if they do a safe string and d1 after and you blocked you could down one after that or grab, same with Jax
@@briancalixx usually I'll go for the f4 + L1 string since it's one of the quickest startups in the game but I'm really losing damage by doing so. Sometimes I just gamble it and dash hoping they'll fall for it and it usually works 40% of the time Lol
I bought MK11 recently and I can’t understand what’s so op about Kabal. He’s always safe (best thing about him I think ) and has some ok mixups + a good projectile but idk why ppl consider him stronger than characters like Skarlet, Jade, Scorpion or Baraka. Some help pls?
@@fadirefki9722 people think he's better than scorpion?? Lol they smoking, but the good thing about kabal is his jump in game. His air 2 is extremely good and he has some insane guard pressure with his dash cancel
Erron is good but he's not better than Sonya, Gerras, Scorpion, Cassie, or Baraka. I don't know much about Cetrion so I won't speak on her but Erron is about as good as Kabal.
I play kano and its a perfect description. U don't think with him and just throw random shit. I play Johnny and it's it's like frame traps and plus strings while kano is the yolo character. I also like his anti zoning with forward 3 and veggie mighty
I feel like Shang is strong and definitely above mid tier but maybe low A. Tech has not been discovered and no one understands the matchup yet. He has tons of gals and his specials are full combo punishable if you know what you are doing.
Was it? Just encountered a jade Player today who just jumped and uppercuted all day at grandmaster... I'm starting to think the league is more based off of grind rather than skill.
I'm not surprised. If I went against a dvorah main I would get whooped because I have no idea what she does. I've never played against a dvorah, and I hope I never will

I also main Kano, and that man absolutely dominates up close combat. He makes up for his predictability with being able to get 20-24% combos in like 4 hits (Evil Glee variation) haha. AND his amped Kano ball is a great response to zoners

idk, i have a much harder time dealing with errons overhead shenanigans than i do cassie or sonya. sonyas got th 50/50 but thats it, if you lock in on it and get in her head shes done. but erron can mix up that over head string in so many ways its crazy.
Angel Irbin yeah but her dmg is too high along with geras the fact that you can do a combo that does like 39% almost half your health and is dumb easy to hit btw is crazy I do agree she can have trouble getting in but if you put the turret move in her move set she's pretty viable and can make you think twice about zoning her. Her mixups are really nice but can be punished if predicted right, not like erron which only gets punished for doing a slide. I main erron been maining him since X and don't really like how everyone's using him and abusing his back 2 mix up
I feel like Jade is SERIOUSLY underappreciated, she seemingly has it all. Good zoning, good anti zoning, decent damage, air control and the most amazing range.
Martien van den Broek people also fail to realize that you can play pretty aggressive with her too. The back 3 string ends with the plus kick that's flawless blockable so u can stagger or you can use ex glave which is also plus. Ex glave can be ducked on the second hit but if they're waiting on that you can start throwing, poking, finishing the string and ur plus, or looping it. It becomes a mind game so she can actually pressure you on top of zoning. Very underrated
Scott larock an 11 frame mid is actually pretty good for a mid. Her back 2 is also relatively fast and has range. They are both not reactable. And those are the main strings u use up close.
Wanye Kest I agree with this. I usually use the zoning variation but I chose the pole vault on accident and still won just by playing aggressive(ranked vs scorpion). She’s good. But she’s not cheesey, cheap, broken high tier. She’s not the easiest to learn, and everyone has better combos than you. But she’s good if you really want to learn her
Eddy Metal by normal i mean that after putting the input noob and scorpion have to commit its mainly for offense because u can be punished but characters like raiden, scarlett and cetrion can use teleport and still remain safe

Yes, I main the man and I’m stuck at god rank At this point I’m going against people who understand Johnny so all they do is neutral duck but I do pull off some wins steaks I feel like if they gave him some mids or even made slime ball a mid he’d be alright
I'm so happy I've been working with Kabal lately after being a Kang main so long. The only thing I'll say about this list is people are sleeping a little on kitana and Kollector in the right hands those two could be a problem imo. If anyone is looking to train together lmk would lo be to work with anyone here!
This is actually one of the best MK11 tier lists out there if not the best. The only thing I would change is put Jax a little higher; his stagger game is absolutely ridiculous. I would also put Johnny above Kitana; he does have a safe forceball that can catch people not blocking after his strings, which results in a strong stagger game. Other than that, this is a solid tier list. 9.5/10
The game is quite weird at the mo, that not many characters have both nice variations to use. MKX has better variations (more variety and feasible) than MK11's tournament variations. At least two out of three per character are good in MKX.
@@musicislife9825 because she's an elder God she's supposed to be powerful. I think her damage is lacking as well but I can't say for sure since I rarely ever see anyone use her. My best advice to you is if you lose to her, just go to a different person. You have a 90% chance of playing scorpion, but hey at least it isn't broken cetrion right?
I completely agree with this statement. Have fun with your character, sometimes a bad character might get in the way, but nothing a patch and some practice wont fix. LowTierGod exists for a reason lol
I think kombat won cuz he has really good movement. He only did Johnnys bread and butter and for some reason it worked on sonic. Sonic lost most of his games to kombat zoning. His zoning. He out zoned someone with scud shot. Wtf
@@magicmanscott40k I agree....Kombat outplayed him. Anyone can outplay someone as long as you understand the game and have solid fundamentals. Unlike mkx Sonic is beatable.
Down 1 i was agreeing with you. That he was referring to non-attack teleports and I was throwing Noob out there as another air tp character that auto attacks. However on second consideration Scorpion can technically teleport cancel in his weaker variation so he’s not entirely wrong
I’d put both Raiden and Kung lao over noob saibot. Although noob does hit like an elder god I’m never really getting opened up by him unless my opponent is playing super unsafe.
I wish people would realize noob isn't very good until he gets you in a combo. KL has really good pressure and staggers but his combos are extremely unsafe on block and very slow
These tier lists aren’t for kasual players... it’s all in regards to pro level matchups. Cetrion excels when you know how to use her, but she’s pretty weak online and such if you haven’t mastered her archetype
Tis a sad time when as a shang tsung main, Sonya can out zone you with rings as she seems to not have any cooldown. This game really needs a patch haha
@@thebestthereis2729 f34 flawless block gap, 11 or 112 has no mixups just safe. 21 is plus enough to check with d1 but if the opponent read it then flawless block u2. B143 is safe but not safe enough with almost no pushback. F4 string blows dick only works against noobs.
Not disagreeing with your placement for him but could you possibly make a video further explaining Kabal, I still don't fully understand why you see him as so good
@@vshuwn18 How's he delusional? Sonya is stronger than Erron. 50/50 every single time she closes in on you. Great pressure, 50/50 FB strings, great zoning, and thats just the tip of the iceberg. This character can and will do at least 32% meterless if given the opportunity.
How is Frost so far down? She has amazing tools and if you're a good player, these can be put to use effectively. Yeah, she needs a buff but only in terms of speed imo. Lower her starting frames and her recovery so not almost every single string is punishable.
Can you do a Tier List not based on the Tournament Variations? I bet it would be MUCH different. I do not play Ranked and prefer to use my own custom variations.
I agree. His description are spot on too and he's right about certain attacks whiffing. I love Johnny but God damn half his stuff misses even when they stand still
I think Cassie's getting way overrated tbh. I would never put her above Erron, Geras, or Sonya. She's probably top 5, but I can't put her higher than 4 when she has decent damage at best, one of the worst fatal blows in the game, and she has literally 0 corner combos that come off anything but B13, which you should never get hit by. She has ridiculous midscreen game, and her neutral is absurd, but she isn't oppressive.
Her Down 2 has no range and is super punishable. Her wake up attacks are worthless. Up 2 the worst and up 3 has no range. She has no lows in the middle of any of her strings. If You block down on the first hit and then stand block and she'll never touch you. And this dude is saying she's better than Sonya and Geras??? People who believe that have never touched Cassie.
all cassie players do is cry that ppl think she is top tier like stfu already ur char braindead zoning & braindead mids & braindead corner escapes & braindead restands pls nrs patch mk11 already
cassie owns sonya 6 - 4 cassie out footsie sonya & she out zones sonya that mu is so BAD that best sonya player scar say he cant even use sonya in the mu. . . .
Johnny is just underrated tbh, he has a strong stagger game with his safe forceball (he has a safe projectile ffs) which he can either do or not do, and the opponent will have to guess, if they release block after blocking a string they get hit by the forceball, and if they don't, he can continue staggering/pressuring them. He's also the *only* character in the game who can cancel his super and get combos off the cancel.
I agree with all of it. It's just a lot of low tier characters have some form of anti zoning and launchers which makes them viable. Like kotal khan bottom 5 but I can beat high tier characters with him all the time with his mid screen pressure and his anti zoning cat from. I say kotal biggest weakness is his best moves are two different variations. U can't have both.
he didnt mention cassie broken hurtbox how she can duck so much stuff he didnt mention her broken nut punch move reversal that is 10f and interrupts almost everything. . . he also didnt mention her stupid restand how u CANT use the wake up system vs her wtf i cant wait for nrs to patch mk11 already & fix these dumb chars
I feel Jacqui should be 3 or 4.. Her cancel game will confuse the best players. The problem is people are not playing her that way. I was destroying people in MKX with Takeda's cancels and he did it off of 1 string.. Jacqui can cancel like 4 or 5 strings along with other mixup options. She is deadly, just in the right hands.
honestly I’ve been a scorpion main but before you roast listen 💀 it’s getting hard to play him cause so many people know his strings now so im trying to switch to sub zero or lui kang any suggestions?
Liu Kang is solid because he's good against most people. Besides Jade and Kabal anyhow...i would recommend him but Sub is good too, he just has more matchups that can outperform him than Kang. However I'll be sticking to Raiden because I enjoy the freedom I have with him and the mindgames lol.
All these hitbox issues are by design? Raiden has this problem too against female characters and how they fall when they're juggled ;( it limits his damage against them a lot, his Storm Cell isn't safe on hit (against crouchers), his b12 isn't safe on block, and if you cancel it into his teleport, that can be punished too if anticipated. He needs a lot of meter to do decent damage.
Not really. Johny has a bunch of flaws. His hitbox issues with female characters, very poor Krushing Blows, alot of specials are actually pretty useless, his tournament variations aren't that great, most of his nuetrals are high, no mix-ups, and hard to pull off brutalities.
No the video right. Johnny main thing is frame traps and he's has to be close to do that and shadow kick is super risky as a get closer move. I feel like for Johnny, it's frame trap or die. Also he has no real krushing blows. The only way to do damage is either by chip or nut punch launcher and that's it.
Honestly liu kang is most the overrated charactet in the game. I main him and i cant find a way to play him instead of other characters. 17f projectile one of the slowest in the game. The f4 stagger is -7 very easy to poke out id expect on reaction while cassie has a zero and jaquis is -2. Flawless blocking the whole string shuts him down completely since you can block the up3 he is punishable. You can block the low fireball he is punishable. Even if he stops just in f43 and you are preparing to block something he is still -7 giving you plenty of time to react to anything. His 12 is good but gets shutdown if you play a female or johnny. So you have a character that gets all his mixups shutdown if you block correctly and easily react even online and the thing he can do is throw you. Seems very good to me kappa. I know the pros make him seem good even i have a good ranked placement playing just with him but you cant say he is good. If you took the top tiers out of the game suddenly this game is the most balanced game ever but the day 1 patch nerfed a lot of good characters and left sonya cassie geras etc. Unchanged.

Sonic fox is bodying people with dvorah and beat people with joker in injustice, doesn’t mean they are good characters.
Yes, I main the man and I’m stuck at god rank At this point I’m going against people who understand Johnny so all they do is neutral duck but I do pull off some wins steaks I feel like if they gave him some mids or even made slime ball a mid he’d be alright
I'm so happy I've been working with Kabal lately after being a Kang main so long. The only thing I'll say about this list is people are sleeping a little on kitana and Kollector in the right hands those two could be a problem imo. If anyone is looking to train together lmk would lo be to work with anyone here!
TheElmatador32 in the right hands anyone can be good tho
@@googlymooglyman totally agree man. To your point I finally played a solid Kollector last night and they beat the piss outta me lol
Liu Kang is becoming the new scorpion. I see him everywhere
OneDoubleo Ismypsn I see a bunch of Kitanas
Cause of ninja killa simple
No way. Sonya is everywhere now.
Liu Kang is annoying AF
@@TheMrsexy14 he's awesome
This is actually one of the best MK11 tier lists out there if not the best.
The only thing I would change is put Jax a little higher; his stagger game is absolutely ridiculous. I would also put Johnny above Kitana; he does have a safe forceball that can catch people not blocking after his strings, which results in a strong stagger game.
Other than that, this is a solid tier list. 9.5/10
Wassup with the utter disrespect for my nigga, the thunder god himself, raiden. I main raiden and he's pretty damn good I believe
@Xander Park lol
Ain't gotta be black to be my nigga
Last one - Overheads that go/whiff over your head, LOL!! Too good, Reo.
Reo: who is the best character in my opinion
Also Reo: no I’m not asking you
6:31
In MK Deception, Kabal was a low mid tier, if I remember correctly
Now you need a variation tier list lol if can
The game is quite weird at the mo, that not many characters have both nice variations to use. MKX has better variations (more variety and feasible) than MK11's tournament variations. At least two out of three per character are good in MKX.
THE BEST CHARACTER IN THE GAME IS SONYA
Darkseid Yeeessss!! Well I like her more than Cassie IMO
Thanos can beat your ass
Cetrion shouldn't have a damn teleport, not with all that zoning.
Exactly man, if that’s the case they should give Jacqui a projectile
Facts
@@musicislife9825 jaqui with a projectile is mkx neotigr all over again. We don't need this
Ryan Exactly so why give Cetrion a teleport? Or Erron Black and Cassie all those perks if no other characters can match
@@musicislife9825 because she's an elder God she's supposed to be powerful. I think her damage is lacking as well but I can't say for sure since I rarely ever see anyone use her. My best advice to you is if you lose to her, just go to a different person. You have a 90% chance of playing scorpion, but hey at least it isn't broken cetrion right?
9:38 “only character that can teleport in the air”
scorpion: am I a joke to you?
amirite? lol
How to piss people off:
Tier lists don’t matter and are pointless, it’s the character you play.
Fight me
I completely agree with this statement. Have fun with your character, sometimes a bad character might get in the way, but nothing a patch and some practice wont fix. LowTierGod exists for a reason lol
Guess you've never watched a fighting game tournament.
Bernd Lauert Like I need too. Even if I did, my opinion remains the same.
Ppl always say Kano is trash but against casual players he is really good I always get clapped when I’m fighting him
Ain't no such thing as a bad character its just whoever u practice with. I make top tier players look trash all day with dvorah & kung lao
There is a such thing as advantages and disadvantages and some characters are at big disadvantages
Tier list start at 2:21
Tiers really don't mean much when you see Kombat using Johnny...play the character you like and have a back up to cover your bad matchups.
If sonic had used jacqui instead of Erron kombat would have been toast lol
@@RodneyQuillz woulda coulda....he didnt...he lost, doesn't matter Kombat won.
I think kombat won cuz he has really good movement. He only did Johnnys bread and butter and for some reason it worked on sonic. Sonic lost most of his games to kombat zoning. His zoning. He out zoned someone with scud shot. Wtf
@@RodneyQuillz I agree to be honest. Jacqui counters a lot of johnnys dirty tricks.
@@magicmanscott40k I agree....Kombat outplayed him. Anyone can outplay someone as long as you understand the game and have solid fundamentals. Unlike mkx Sonic is beatable.
I love your videos bruv. Thanks
Scorpion can also tp in the air
Not Your Dog he meant like a teleport that doesn’t attack
No attack teleport cause so can Noob
Diff bruh he’s talking about cetrions teleport
Think about what I just said
Down 1 i was agreeing with you. That he was referring to non-attack teleports and I was throwing Noob out there as another air tp character that auto attacks. However on second consideration Scorpion can technically teleport cancel in his weaker variation so he’s not entirely wrong
It takes a real man to say his character is #1.
Erron good but having 8 shots is his weakness in my opinion. I will say his set ups are insanely strong and u can't best him with low health.
@@magicmanscott40k That scud shot can parry every projectile in the game
I’d put both Raiden and Kung lao over noob saibot. Although noob does hit like an elder god I’m never really getting opened up by him unless my opponent is playing super unsafe.
tj lucas yea he's easy to deal with unless ur fighting a maniac. But even then he's punishable even tho it's annoying af
I wish people would realize noob isn't very good until he gets you in a combo. KL has really good pressure and staggers but his combos are extremely unsafe on block and very slow
lol kung Lao and raiden are my mains
OneDoubleo Ismypsn lol
True but I'm pretty sure noob can out zone both characters, even with them having teleports also noob probably has one of the best pokes and d2.
"Cetrion is the only character that can teleport in the air."
Scorpion and Kung Lao with his tricks of the hat...
this is probably going to change after CEO
sean I pray to the elder gods for the balance patch
When is CEO?
June 28th-june 30
Never thought I’d see my main at #2
Day 1 Cassie main
imagine having cetrion anything above bottom 5
Has to be a troll....
@@nickb7343 obviously a troll
I always pick my main Jacqui Briggs against Certrion... haven’t beat her once
Have you not seen Dragons Cetrion? She may be downplayed a lot but he’s impressive as fuck with her.
These tier lists aren’t for kasual players... it’s all in regards to pro level matchups. Cetrion excels when you know how to use her, but she’s pretty weak online and such if you haven’t mastered her archetype
Such great content. Definitely one of the best MK content creators.
I would love a video of best counterpicks for each player. Sonicfox tier list vid he does some of this but not in detail
Kabal's weakness is his unsafe wake-up(s)
I would’ve done top 5,10,15,20,25
Tis a sad time when as a shang tsung main, Sonya can out zone you with rings as she seems to not have any cooldown. This game really needs a patch haha
I think top 5 is Sonya, Geras, Erron, Cassie, Sorpion that's just my op.
Slick Smoke same
Slick Smoke Scorpion is top 10 not 5. Most of his normals are unsafe.
@@mecharidley f3, f34, 11, 112, 21, b143, every one of these are less than -7
@@thebestthereis2729 f34 flawless block gap, 11 or 112 has no mixups just safe. 21 is plus enough to check with d1 but if the opponent read it then flawless block u2. B143 is safe but not safe enough with almost no pushback. F4 string blows dick only works against noobs.
Mines is 1. Cassie 2. Black 3. Jacqui 4. Geras 5. Cetrion
Not disagreeing with your placement for him but could you possibly make a video further explaining Kabal, I still don't fully understand why you see him as so good
I feel like sonya takes number 1 though and I’m an erron player
The Benny Show Delusional.
@@vshuwn18 How's he delusional? Sonya is stronger than Erron. 50/50 every single time she closes in on you. Great pressure, 50/50 FB strings, great zoning, and thats just the tip of the iceberg. This character can and will do at least 32% meterless if given the opportunity.
Agreed
I feel like sonya projectile a million times better. U can just spam that shit.
@Angel Irbin Actually the best erron black player in the world lost to Sonya.
How is Frost so far down? She has amazing tools and if you're a good player, these can be put to use effectively. Yeah, she needs a buff but only in terms of speed imo. Lower her starting frames and her recovery so not almost every single string is punishable.
I wouldnt put skarlet in 14 I would put her within the top 10
Her zoning good but I find her strings easy to deal with. I usually poke her to death in battle and in bed
@@magicmanscott40k either she still with in top 10
Can you do a Tier List not based on the Tournament Variations? I bet it would be MUCH different. I do not play Ranked and prefer to use my own custom variations.
I like this list. All very reasonable.
I agree. His description are spot on too and he's right about certain attacks whiffing. I love Johnny but God damn half his stuff misses even when they stand still
I really just want Kitanas war fan toss nerf reverted. Everything else feels fine
Me too, fan toss is like a water gun currently, such a drag. Up fan toss is unfortunately not a tournament variation.
I think Cassie's getting way overrated tbh. I would never put her above Erron, Geras, or Sonya. She's probably top 5, but I can't put her higher than 4 when she has decent damage at best, one of the worst fatal blows in the game, and she has literally 0 corner combos that come off anything but B13, which you should never get hit by. She has ridiculous midscreen game, and her neutral is absurd, but she isn't oppressive.
Her Down 2 has no range and is super punishable. Her wake up attacks are worthless. Up 2 the worst and up 3 has no range. She has no lows in the middle of any of her strings. If You block down on the first hit and then stand block and she'll never touch you. And this dude is saying she's better than Sonya and Geras??? People who believe that have never touched Cassie.
all cassie players do is cry that ppl think she is top tier like stfu already ur char braindead zoning & braindead mids & braindead corner escapes & braindead restands pls nrs patch mk11 already
cassie nut punch move low profile so many attacks & is stupid reversal they need fix this char
cassie owns sonya 6 - 4 cassie out footsie sonya & she out zones sonya that mu is so BAD that best sonya player scar say he cant even use sonya in the mu. . . .
@@GeorgeH9897 You're Trippin' if you really think Cassie is a better character than Sonya just because she loses the mu LOL.
I'm a low tier hero
HoneyBeeCMNDR damn honeybee buried in the comments
Lol just lurking
Yeah and u make good videos with them. Your dvorah videos are always fun to watch
do tiers matter then? kombat beat sonicfox who was using the best character in game, erron, with johnny fvcking cage, the 20th best character
Nah tierlists don't mean shit. Player skill will always matter more than what tier there character is. Matchup knowledge is also very important
This game is pretty balanced so not really
Even the bottom 5 really isn't that bad
@@fgckuviraa9889 I made a kabal rage quit in rank mod a few days ago with kotal kahn so yeah matchup knowledge and skill means a lot in this game.
Johnny is just underrated tbh, he has a strong stagger game with his safe forceball (he has a safe projectile ffs) which he can either do or not do, and the opponent will have to guess, if they release block after blocking a string they get hit by the forceball, and if they don't, he can continue staggering/pressuring them.
He's also the *only* character in the game who can cancel his super and get combos off the cancel.
I use D’Vorah and she’s actually a great character, it boils down to preference and game play style
I like worst to best. I like this list, I think its fairly accurate. Id change some things but ofcourse its all opinion
I agree with all of it. It's just a lot of low tier characters have some form of anti zoning and launchers which makes them viable. Like kotal khan bottom 5 but I can beat high tier characters with him all the time with his mid screen pressure and his anti zoning cat from. I say kotal biggest weakness is his best moves are two different variations. U can't have both.
Reo i love you and all but you dont have to keep saying the person isn't as good as the ones above them lmao
Haha exactly my thoughts, we know how rankings work bruh.
Jade top 3 the only player you can’t use projectiles against and the pole keeps distance and best uppercut in the game
Agreed
Shhhh. İt is a secret. They should not know this
Cassies #2 because she's.... Safe. Go home reo. Youre drunk
he didnt mention cassie broken hurtbox how she can duck so much stuff he didnt mention her broken nut punch move reversal that is 10f and interrupts almost everything. . . he also didnt mention her stupid restand how u CANT use the wake up system vs her wtf i cant wait for nrs to patch mk11 already & fix these dumb chars
@@GeorgeH9897 fr it really makes me not wanna play this game its unbalanced
I feel Jacqui should be 3 or 4.. Her cancel game will confuse the best players. The problem is people are not playing her that way. I was destroying people in MKX with Takeda's cancels and he did it off of 1 string.. Jacqui can cancel like 4 or 5 strings along with other mixup options. She is deadly, just in the right hands.
Subzero needs to be higher
His “opinion”
the things he said about scorpion, FINALLY someone relevant said it
Imagine saying EB is #1 just to throw people off so at EVO people can pick him against you but you know all the tech against him 😆
Tres' Washington lmao he has videos highlighting all his weaknesses then says here he has no weaknesses
HumpingGRAPeZ 😆
honestly I’ve been a scorpion main but before you roast listen 💀 it’s getting hard to play him cause so many people know his strings now so im trying to switch to sub zero or lui kang any suggestions?
Liu Kang is solid because he's good against most people. Besides Jade and Kabal anyhow...i would recommend him but Sub is good too, he just has more matchups that can outperform him than Kang. However I'll be sticking to Raiden because I enjoy the freedom I have with him and the mindgames lol.
Raw Liberty thank you I’m probably going to play sub some more and see how I feel about him
Erron the best? Youre high
Fox he is insane. A bad Erron black player? Yeah they play simple but a good player using him? That’s a pain in the ass with his cancels and mix ups
great list, I'd move Black down a couple spots, but overall good placements
I will be honest with everyone I don’t care about tier list I only care about playing the fighting game with my favorite characters.
"With Kano you just do shit" LOL. That is why he is my character!
Sonya is definitely #1 or at worst #2
Na
ServingCocktails yes especially because of the cancel projectile! No one else has that
Mid screen all she does is rings and yolo specials she not #1 shes good but not number one number 3 is good for her
ServingCocktails talking about mid screen, 40% mid. No one else can literally and that’s without krushing blows.
Nah Cassie is definitely better, Sonya has better matchups against other members of the kast but Cassie is just anti Sonya like crazy
Yo, I just started playing mk xl, because it was on sale and I wanted to ask what character I should play. (Never played mk before)
__ sub zero goes hard
scorp can also teleport in the air
All these hitbox issues are by design? Raiden has this problem too against female characters and how they fall when they're juggled ;( it limits his damage against them a lot, his Storm Cell isn't safe on hit (against crouchers), his b12 isn't safe on block, and if you cancel it into his teleport, that can be punished too if anticipated. He needs a lot of meter to do decent damage.
You kinda sleeping on Johnny
Explain.
Not really. Johny has a bunch of flaws. His hitbox issues with female characters, very poor Krushing Blows, alot of specials are actually pretty useless, his tournament variations aren't that great, most of his nuetrals are high, no mix-ups, and hard to pull off brutalities.
No the video right. Johnny main thing is frame traps and he's has to be close to do that and shadow kick is super risky as a get closer move. I feel like for Johnny, it's frame trap or die. Also he has no real krushing blows. The only way to do damage is either by chip or nut punch launcher and that's it.
Honestly liu kang is most the overrated charactet in the game. I main him and i cant find a way to play him instead of other characters. 17f projectile one of the slowest in the game. The f4 stagger is -7 very easy to poke out id expect on reaction while cassie has a zero and jaquis is -2. Flawless blocking the whole string shuts him down completely since you can block the up3 he is punishable. You can block the low fireball he is punishable. Even if he stops just in f43 and you are preparing to block something he is still -7 giving you plenty of time to react to anything. His 12 is good but gets shutdown if you play a female or johnny. So you have a character that gets all his mixups shutdown if you block correctly and easily react even online and the thing he can do is throw you. Seems very good to me kappa. I know the pros make him seem good even i have a good ranked placement playing just with him but you cant say he is good. If you took the top tiers out of the game suddenly this game is the most balanced game ever but the day 1 patch nerfed a lot of good characters and left sonya cassie geras etc. Unchanged.
