Which character do you think will give newcomers the most trouble/salt

[RoGE]

We all know how a lot of people in this community are, some are eager enough to even post "please nerf this character" threads day one. For fun, let's predict which characters will cause the most rage.

I'm predicting some solid zoning characters getting a lot of hate, probably Kenshi. Maybe Goro will also get some hate because he's a "boss character" lol

 

[Kitana Prime]

Forever Ermac

Casuals/newcomers dont like to block

Kenshi #2

 

[Magnum Magpie]

I think Kung Jin is the strongest zoner just from what I've seen, maybe along side Kenshi

 

[Wemfs]

Whichever character has the best "spammable" move. Newcomers get rekt by 1 single special move over and over.

 

[juicepouch]

kano ball infinites day 1

 

[Mr. Mileena]

Sonya :3

 

[HeroesNZ]

Nightwing

 

[SLy]

Sonya. they wont understand the high level side of her.

 

[dribirut]

By the looks of it, reptiles dash is about as negative as it was in mk9. Doubt newcomers will be able to punish so I put my money on that

 

[Peter Quill]

Mileena' Piercing variation is gonna have noobs(and some vets) throwing their controllers I guaranatee it

 

[Perdition]

I can imagine a lot of those who got into NRS games with Injustice crying about a whole lot of things. I may be wrong, and I hope I am. But I doubt it.

 

[KombatNerd]

Displacer Raiden

God bless those Teleports.

And Takeda.

 

[Eji1700]

Mac/Kenshi/Kano/Takeda

Basically people with a hard K sound.

Yep, I came in here to say Reptile's Dash. Though it was easily throw punishable online in MK9, and I got some hate mail because of that it was a day 1 highlight for me.

Also Kenshi. As I mentioned in the Kenshi general thread he has a special that requires blocking the overhead in one variation and blocking low in another variation. No masher is going to keep track of stuff like that.

 

[Circus]

Newcomers rage for anything though.

"All you do is spam the same juggle"

"You can't do anything but throw projectiles"

It doesn't matter who you pick. If you kick their ass relentlessly enough, they'll be drowning in salt.

Expect a ton of delicious Quitalties.

 

[Invincibeast]

Ermac, Kenshi, Takeda will probably be top 3 salt inducers online just because of the specials and casuals not blocking.

 

[Shark Tank]

TK push is the ultimate salt factory

 

[Invincibeast]

I just want this reaction from everyone I play against:

Then, and only then, will I be satisfied.

 

[TPH GUNSHOT]

D'vorah is going to kill newer players if her pokes are as safe as It looks

 

[Monox1de]

Newbies. Like actual MK and fighting game newbies. They will bitch about characters with good spam. These characters I expect to be .

kung lao, kenshi, kitana, subzero, mileena, raiden, liu kang, ermac, kano, reptile, erron, scorpion, johnny cage, etc..

The worst of these i assume will be

Scorpion: teleport hellfire fireball
kung lao: dive-kick hat toss
kitana: Fucking fans

 

[kivatt]

Are we all forgetting about Stunt Double Johnny Cage?
The amount of shadow kicks being thrown for free will induce so much salt

 

[Neferefre]

 

[Gesture Required Ahead]

Seriously no mentions of Erron Black's walkback Gunshots? That's a Zoning Academy member's wet dream.

@General M2Dave Where's the MKX Zoning Academy thread?

I think the thing with those gunshots is that theoretically Teleports should be able to blow him up. Not quite as bad, in my opinion, as getting caught by a lift and combo'd after lol

 

[Epy69zSmallBoys]

F*cking Kenshi
