Kenshi and Cage are beyond brain dead.

Kabal and Skarlet are hard to use. Rain as well, some of his higher damage combos require tight positioning, especially his uppercut ones.

Really likes to throw things at you.
Kenshi and Cage are beyond brain dead.
As a Kenshi and Cage main: Kinda....

Kenshi has brain dead MUs but he can be blown the fuck up pretty hard.

Cage is all about footises, pokes, counter pokes, and AAs.... none of which are brain dead. F3 is good but will only get you so far vs a good players.

Everyone who crys about F3 or Kenshi's SC are total scrubs...

My pussy, my rules
JIP>U4 is honestly more inconsistent for me than Sonya's F22xxMSC...
I'm honestly never in the frame of mind to hit-confirm into U4 off of JiP and go into the bomb trap, because it being blocked and punished hugely is so ingrained in my mind. When I finally do land one and go into 21xxice ball, I think "Fuck, and I could have had 60+%".:(

Ease of use... for me was this:

Noob Saibot

I think it was easist for me to keep the opponent at distance with Noob, of course being myself and my opponents casual players.

smoke reset bot
i cant remember if smoke ever won a major. did he?
final round 16. and yeah, smoke isn't noob friendly at all (if we are talking about time spent in comparison to games won) hes got simple combos and specials, but smoke is only top 10 when you are consistent with his resets and have excellent footsies. most noobs pick up smoke and just wakeup teleport all day.....

Ease of use WITH results

Johnny Cage
bird lao

anyone else needs more time
 
i'd say
1)SZ. easy to play(in 5 mins u learn all his combos) and his corner pressure is really fucked up...especially if the opponent is noob and tries to get out mostly with jumps...he also has slide and ex armored slide that are noob friendly,and he has a decent and damaging x-ray,that's pretty easy to connect in combos(pretty easy day 1 53% x-ray combo...) and don't forget that noobs use the x-ray a lot :D .he also has fucked up D4 and his clone game is pretty solid...noob sz will most likely take dmg by punished slides...
2)NOOB,just spam the fuck out of them!!!
3)Bird yolo lao,the name speaking the truth!
4)CAGE,F32 to get near your opponent,and then just F3,F33,F33B3 your noob and helpless opponent till death...just throw some D3 and 1-2 ex-fireballs to create some frametraps and in cross ups do 11F1 and then F3 etc...
5)KANO,knife when he is away,upball when he is near...x-ray him also :p
6)BARAKA,just spam blade chage,spin and fireball and you ll be fine...
7)yoleena,no more need to be said...
8)ermac,pretty easy 40% combo but more importantly noobs have hard time to punish things...with ermac,just lift them(anti air and air to air included)...1 lift means 30%+ dmg with pretty easy combos for beginners(i am talking about the easy ermac combos,not the D1 ones).he also has pretty good zoning and the broken TKP...so spam them and punish them for taking risks getting in...
9)scorpion,c'mon guys,we all started mk9 playing scorpion!admit it!pretty easy and noob friendly,and also fun to play(i have TP mouahaha!!!).
10)cyrax,easy 75% reset but even without his resets he has the all time broken command grab(that leads to another command grab/hit mix up),and also has the half bar gaining 121ragdoll safe blockstring...easy bnbs like "jip 21net jip 121ragdoll grab" that does about 33% if i am right...anti air grab for "jump arround" players.almost all his strings are safe and some are plus on block(like 334).get in and you ll be fine :p

see you at the top.
you're all fools.
shang tsung is the hardest character to be good with execution wise. In order to be great with him, you have to minimally know how to do every character's bnb's, etc.
easiest character to use is freddy or kenshi.

the wake up happy noobs can't play kenshi or freddy...and their high hitbox is a real problem for new players...
i agree with you for shang tho...

p.s. noob freddy and kenshi make their noob opponents cross up happy...
