      I used to play scorpion because he's been my favourite mk character since mk9, but picked up fujin and started to main him after he came out. Reason why i main only fujin and scorpion is because both has such badass play styles. However I would like if Fujin got a little buff, I can safely say that after almost 1 month of his release that he needs a little buff. Not dmg wise, but more of his crushing blows. like I mean it, the amount of crushing blows you can't combo off is annoying. For example I mean that I should be able to combo off fujins 11U4 after he gets his crushing blow, if I'm not wrong shang thung has a similar string where he can combo off if he gets a crushing blow on it. Last is, some of fujins attacks need speed buff, after playing alot with him I can assure you how hard it's to punish other people with him, speed is not the only reason it's also because he's attacks that you can punish other people with have a really short reach and you need to be right up close to hit most of his safe attacks. So I think if some of his attacks got a little faster while would be great. Fast attacks with low dmg.

      Bro... I'm actually still looking at who my main is... I've tried every character.. And so far.. It's between geras, Kano, sub zero and scorpion to be Hounest... But in online.. It's been geras and kano... Sub zero is good but for some reason I can't use him as I should use him... I did decide Baraka but he's boring..

      I honestly don't have a main though I play Noob and Sindel the most. I play Noob because I remember playing back in Mk9 and really loving him. Plus Black is one of my favorite colors so yeah 😅. Sindel is because I have an easy time playing her. I'm able to do some high damage with her and really enjoy playing her.
      Also just for a bonus I do play Frost, Erron Black, Fujin and Joker

      I play a few characters
      D’Vorah, Kabal, Baraka & Shao kahn
      D’Vorah because she was new in MKX. I mained her there, Brought her back for 11.
      Kabal because He’s a speedster(I love super swift characters, and I also play every fast character in any fighting game. Plus he’s safe on a lot of stuff)
      Baraka because He’s typically known for his damage, but I play his other two Variations
      Bone picker & Berserker because I find the damage in marauder to be mainstream or overrated. And I was in love with his third variation when it came out. It was meant to be lol.
      Shao Kahn because He’s Considered low tier, and the boss/big bad character for like 25 years or so? Lol.
      Also, Shao Kahn has some nice looking combos.

    I was completely new to fighting games when I bought MK11 last year, so I knew absolutely nothing about mechanics and playstyles and such. The first character I picked up was Skarlet. I chose her simply because I found her blood powers really cool, and to be honest, because I find her stunningly beautiful. She’s still my main. Everyone says she’s low tier, but to me, even though she lacks in some areas, she’s amazing. By using her online, I win more often than I lose (unless I fight Scorpion or Kung Lao lol). That’s why I don’t like tier lists. Even the characters at the bottom of other people’s lists can be the perfect character for you, like Skarlet is for me. I’m still learning about fighting games, so I actually found this video helpful. For example, I had no idea what footsies were, but now I do, so thank you!

      Same, when I started I picked Sindel, and, I’ve never played a fight game so...it was difficult in the beginning because I didn’t get it how to punish or make a combo but, Today I think I’m a good sindel main, and is so much fun playing with her, better than play with Liu Kang or scorpion or subzero, I’m kind of tired of playing against them they are soooo annoying 🙄

      Ana Luísa Souza I say as long as you have fun with your main, that’s the most important thing. I’ve played Sindel quite a bit and she really is fun to play. And I completely agree about fighting the same characters over and over again. It gets old very quickly. It’s a lot more fun when there’s a variety in opponents.

      Tier lists honestly don’t mean anything unless you’re playing in a tournament. If you just a casual player or online warrior just play whoever you like.
      I’ve mained Raiden and Shao Kahn since the game came out and they were bottom of tier lists for the longest time, yet I was getting consistent wins with them over Scorpion or Sub Zero.

    • @MadDoggGames
      @MadDoggGames  4 года назад +44

      Actually he is considered a zoner. I researched and his clone is considered a projectile. He plays best mid to long range because of his clone. That is not to say he is bad at close. He is a neutral Playstyle which means he can get in. But also notice that the clone has no hit box? So it’s an actual projectile otherwise it will have a hurt box making it a part of noob

    • @MadDoggGames
      @MadDoggGames  4 года назад +12

      Justyn jmsr considering his play style involves around his clone, which is a projectile, a zoning tool by definition means he is a zoner play style. He is most effective playing zoning. I would label him a neutral character. Because he heavily relies on spacing. He dosent have the best mix ups to open people up. Just because a pro player uses him does not mean that play style is define by that. Since they are pro players, they can use anyone and play them efficiently outside of their normal strong suits. Most of my detail information came from raptor. A huge former pro player that has made website/channel covering character guides, combos, and strategy. Go visit it. www.kombatakademy.com/

    • @MadDoggGames
      @MadDoggGames  4 года назад +10

      Justyn jmsr did u read the part of former pro player? Not just content creator, heck sonic fox is now one too. I mean it does not take that much to analyze and honestly all perspectives are subjective. But based on tool kits you can make up on what they are meant to be. Not sure why u think everything that sonic fox says is valid or 100% true. He once made a tier list covering all character stating they are all well S tier or something. And said the community just sucks. Tier list is constantly vastly different from each pro player. Will you play a character the same way he does? Impossible because he uses flawless blocking, wavedashing, perfect blocking etc, stronger mechanics that rewards rushdown/closequarters. Which most of the playerbase cannot utilize that stuff.
      Besides, I have played him, I even made a combo guide with him in the past. Sure I dont play with him much but I have noticed his playstyle. The most tools he offers are from far to mid range. That is not to say he is terrible at close range as he is a hybird but that is where his strength relies on.

    • @onetapfrostea6189
      @onetapfrostea6189 4 года назад +6

      Justyn jmsr the way ur commenting u must be a child or a major sonic fox fanboys. Noob saibot isn’t a rushdown character and sonic fox has never said noob is a rushdown character. Noob is a neutral character and he’s not a zoner either but the term “zoning” has a few different definitions depending on who u ask. The definition I agree with when it comes to zoning, I don’t consider noob a zoner simply bc of the fact he doesn’t play the same way like skarlet or cetrion does who have multiple projectiles and play full screen. Noob likes to play from mid screen/ full screen at times. He is not a rushdown character by any means, he doesn’t have any high pressuring staggers, he doesn’t have any mids he can stagger to generate pressure either like most of the rushdown in this game. U just seem to be delusional or idk what it is bc it’s so odd u took that much offence to someone saying noob is a zoner. He’s sure as hell not rushdown

    My choice depends on the game, but I usually go for the more agile characters like Kitana, Mileena and Sonya, with Kitana being the go-to; however, for MK11, I've found that I really like Sindel and she's actually become my favorite character for this game. Her uppercut is killer; her moves are fun, but it's her combos that are great. Hard to block for many. The only downside is getting a long-range "spammer" who just throws stuff at you. I can do that, too, with her, but it's hard to get into close range to stop the other opponent.

    Speaking as someone who last was a serious fighting gamer when Tekken 3 was the big hotness, I tend to favor a character that can do a little bit of everything like Jin Kazama with rushdown tactics being my backup style. Funnily enough, this made Nina Williams my secondary main because I could ignore her command grabs in favor of waiting for my opening and just going blitz on the opponent. These days, I don't have time to get into the Meta so I just pick characters I think are cool and learn them as best I can.

    Having only played Mortal Kombat 11, meaning it was my first experience in playing the game, I wasn’t sure who to main. However after watching gameplay as well as the cutscenes of the stories of all MK games, I decided I’d main Sindel. The reason for this is because she, as a character, really intrigued me, I just loved her design, who she is and how deep her lore goes. I was just drawn to her. Anyway, That’s why I main Sindel XD.

    @DuckTDuckmaster Год назад +2

    I picked jacqui and scorpion.
    At first i went with jax because i liked grapplers but then i realized his combos were short, hard to execute and incredibly slow compared to other characters.
    Jacqui has a whole meterless combo thats easy to execute and deals 60 % damage with the kustom im using. It has the fake-out for mix-ups, the grapple for extended combos and maneuverability and the knee kick for extra damage on big combos and making the enemy guess if ill use the knee or if ill punch (tricks people quite often in low ranks) + jacqui has very nice consistent combos that are way faster compared to jax.
    My second pick is scorpion simply because he was my main in MK9 and his combos are very stylish and tricky to guess sometimes.

I loved his revenant skins and over time liked his overall presentation. Joker? Favorite DC villain, hands down.

I pick them based on style of play and the bonus of looking good in the process. Before Mileena I rotated between Sonya, Skarlet and Kitana, as they are all uniquely engaging via pressure game, mixups and zoning.
    Now that all characters are out though I’m leaning towards Rain (great pressure game and so many options) for my backup male main and either Sindel or Sonya for backup female. I’ve been away from the game for a while so will need to lab them both to decide. Probably Sindel since she’s much further from just a female equivalent of Rain.
