Who in your opinion is the best character in the entire game ?

[Derptile]

^Agreeing with un-popular opinion, there is a chance he might not be top 3

Still just a chance though.

 

[Pig Of The Hut]

It's possible that Kung Lao isn't top 3

I'm open to that

I think Tanya is #1 and quan 2

Balanced Kenshi. His zoning is so godlike in this game along with his awesome OH options, that in the extremely rare case I lose (when I forget to AA with shoulder) my opponents always t-bag and say stuff like- "online cancer or top tier scrub".

How do you sleep at night using such a broken character?

 

[GAV]

By being the best he is overpowered. No character should be better than any other character, so any character that is better is overpowered. And characters should not be buffed to his level because this game is offense based enough as it is. Nerf the top tier.

I don't agree with this because you would always be playing an unfinished product.

Up the unviable, but don't nerf unless someone is OP - regardless of where they fall in the rankings.

NEW KENSHI TECH! (Probably known since day 1)

I was going over some of the crappy old balanced kenshi corner combos and I eventually tried: Jip, f32, rk, njp, jip, 1,1,43 exbf3. Now if the exbf3 catches them low enough to the ground but not too low the last hit will not count as part of the combo and instead will hit for an unscaled 6% (whicbf3h is usually impossible since even just exbf3 the last hit usually hits for 5.14% cause it's affected by scaling of the first 3 hits.

I just tried it with a bigger combo (jip, f32, rk, f3, 1, 43, exbf3 and while a little hard to time the combo hits for 42% + 6%. Obviously this doesn't fix kenshi at fucking all but it gives us back some of our old corner damage since they nerfed balanced's damage! Thats right nerfed the damage on a character who only has a low combo starter when the best we had was about 31% midscreen meterless and burning a bar olny adds on 2%. What BS I hope they nerf this corner stuff cause it would be fucking hilarious since they will NOT fix anything else with Kenshi.

I don't I stay on here and preach. After finding that new tech just now I'm worried people are gonna come and get me for sweet revenge after using such a broke character.

 

[Zabru]

The funniest thing is my new tech is off one of kenshi's many bugged moves that randomly whiff but they refuse to fix. Now that we are getting minimal advantage watch them finally fix it. Right now the move is acting kinda like tremors quake on before you get to wake up.

 

[ForeverKing]

I'm open to that

I think Tanya is #1 and quan 2

Dude Jax, Subzero, Liu Kang, Johnny Cage, and Kotal Kahn are all characters that can debatable have 0 losing matchups. And if any of those characters do have bad matchups, it's probably 2 or less.

There's so many good characters in this game it's impossible to make a top 10 list. There are like 17 characters that could be debatable top 10

Be careful they might nerf kenshi, his backdash is too OP and teleflurry being +44 on whiff in nonsense, can't let anyone find out. That's why nobody uses kenshi in tournament, they want to avoid the nerf hammer and continue with a broken character.

Dame how could I forget his Backdash rivals that of Kano's and is loaded with invincibility frames.

Lol kano ain't got shit on Kenshi's backdash

 

[ArmedCalf]

Always thought he was 4-5

 

[Laos_boy]

Kung lao is the best
But quan is the most broken

exaxtly in this game too many underrated characters, which are not disclosed in the full potential because game is too young. Too many ppls asking for Kung Lao nerfs just to want him destroyed like Raiden but honestly what nerfs he needs its j2 range thats all. Characters who have loopable pressure into unbloackables 50/50, with air control, safe armor e.t.c is more scarier.

Kenshi's Backdash makes him seem more ethereal than his spirits. THAT SPEED!

 

[Dankster Morgan]

Kung lao is the best
But quan is the most broken

That sums up my thoughts perfectly I just couldn't put it into words. Lao feels more solid but Quan has just so much fuckery going on.

 

[honeybooboo]

Everybodys saying tempest lao is the best and im just sitting here struggling to win with him... Fml im so garbage with him

I can see JC potentially being S tier but not better than Lao as he loses too Kang, Tanya and Lao across all variations

Kotal? I can't see it, maybe I'm underrating him

 

[just_2swift]

No. As long as there is a character who is better than most other characters then they should be nerfed. It doesn't matter that most fighting games have overpowered characters. They're not overpowered because the devs want them to be, they're overpowered either because the devs don't realize they are or the game is no longer being patched.

Wut

 

[RagingRicans]

Sub Zero doesn't have bad Match ups? That can be debated with the argument "Once Sub gets them in the corner it should be finished."

But Johnny? Need some 'splainin'

 

[just_2swift]

At least 3 of those characters also need to be nerfed. He beats far too many characters and the way he beats them is with brain dead stagger pressure. I know exactly how to perfectly balance him though. Make block breakers 1 bar and full stamina and allow every character to gain 3% of a bar of meter for every attack they block (as opposed to the 6% of a bar they currently gain for having their attacks blocked.) The same change also balances Tremor, Jax, Tanya, Shinnok, Liu Kang, Dvorah, etc.

You'll always be playing an unfinished product regardless of whether you buff the low tier or nerf the top tier. Buffing the low tier is a better idea sometimes in some games, but not MKX. In MKX the top tier are rewarded a ton for their 50/50s and their guessing game block pressure that they can get started very easily.

The low and mid tiers are much more honest and take more skill, so it's better for the game to make the top tier closer to them rather than buffing the low tier to be on Kung Lao's level. Also, buffing the less viable characters in this game would take more work because they would require tons of changes while most of the top tier can be easily normalized with very small tweaks.

Yeah I can agree with that but some chars like Ken need an OH
