With the last three (NEC, KiT, SCR) major Mortal Kombat 9 tournaments nearing, ya boi Soup has thought of some things that could be debated and fleshed out.
I'll keep it to 2 per character.
THESE ARE ALL MY OPINIONS
I will keep it to the chars I play the most in the order you posted:
Cyrax:
-Cyrax would possibly drop out of top 5 if he didn't have his command grab
Probably not and that gives me the LULZ. Character is so dumb.
-Cyrax's breaker trap is the best find of the community, and rarely anyone uses it
Breaker traps are broken as fugg, and I agree that I should probably use them more.
Johnny Cage:
-Standing 3 is insanely underrated as a footsies tool
@Mikemetroid lulz
-f32 is insanely overrated
f32 should be used to close up space and for that purpose it is pretty good. I am not sure who is saying it is godlike.
Scorpion:
-d4 was a strong AA
"Strong" lol no. Poor Scorpion.
-ex hellfire was an underrated combo ender
Sure it was awesome when you finish a combo and it could end a round. Otherwise, save your meter to get out of jail free when you guess wrong.
Smoke:
-His resets are easier to hit than people say they are
They are pretty easy to hit with practice, but they are not anywhere close to as easy as Cyrax's resets are which are dial-a-combo where Smoke is more timing/spacing/screen position. They are not hard though.
-d1 smoke away is too strong and underused
Smoke players should be using d3~smoke away more than d1 smoke away. d1~ smoke bomb too stronk.
Sonya:
-Stupid character
Why do you think ya boi RiBBz picked her up? Easy to learn and super high rewards, ultra safe, 2-hit armored projectile, nearly 50% into a reset on a counter-poke. GGs
