When you were talking about Ronin and keeping track, Demolition Sonya comes to mind, except for Sonya there is a lot more strategy with that type of shit to learn.

Nah Demo's easy. Her Grenade indicator is easily visible whereas for Dualist and Ronin it's more subtle.

Slasher Jason. Seems to be a scrub character, but it takes a lot to reach a high level with him.

I mean, compared to Dualist, A-list and all that, he seems pretty brain dead. For a high level I think it takes a lot because he is a low tier character.

We're all from Earthrealm. If not, cool pic brah.
I've learned a lot of characters, Hellfire was the hardest at the time. He's been made SO MUCH easier since though (214 +2 so much more forgiving cancel window, and the gap changed so no need to execute 214 FBC B12 to within 2 frames of accuracy to beat 6f mid reversals) and 2f links from using Flame Aura in combos became 5f links thanks to S3, and his 214xTP 21xChain BnB was really tight but was made so much easier in MKXL as well. F3 FBC F3 and B3 FBC B12 are still some of the hardest run cancels in the game and are game-losingly punishing if you fuck it up by just a couple of frames (window is really that tiny, miss it and get a Spear on block at point blank range), and hes certainly one of the harder characters to play... but hes not the hardest anymore. Although I think before MKXL he definitely was, a lot of people don't even realise how hard he actually was.




Jax probably has one of the steeper CURVES execution wise, none of his shit is particularly easy, ever. Hollywood Cass deserves a mention as well, her standard BnBs arent easy nor is iAG. Saying someone like LK isnt a good answer here. Yes, hes probably got the highest skillcap in the game, but his BnB's are really easy until that point. His curves caress you all the way till you are in ESL with a shitty connection getting wins you dont deserve

Oh I know that. It's just the concept of needing all these combos for each grenade w/ the safe reload. With practice though you'll easily get used to it.

You're not necessarily wrong, but do ronin players actualy forget when they do and don't have the lightsaber?

That's one thing to keep track of. I personally don't play Ronin but is it that hard to keep track of it? You can see it in the ground right?

Once you get Cassie's combos down and canceling, she's real easy apparently. Jax is definitely difficult. I don't find him fun to use, and never see people online using him, sadly...

Naginata and SF? Interesting. I feel like HW is harder than SF maybe because of the instant air guns? And Brood Mother over Swarm Queen? I don't know like anything about BM, so I'm not going to argue.

Im not the best Tremor but its usually f121 mix ups along with conditioning my opponent to expect the safe db2 at the end. Flexing at the end of each hard knockdown and doing hard to blockables, oh/low mixups in the corner.

haha... i meant i can not physically do the moves for some reasons. using the directions to place the kicks and punches are somehow beyond y dexterity... i get all confused and fumbly.

I see Kotal mentioned. He's easy to learn, he just requires precision since you have to make use of all his tools, know match ups, and so forth. Nothing difficult about him at all. Its one of the reasons I co-main him. My picks:

Erron - 21122, lots of run cancels, many tick setups
Cassie - instant guns, VERY heavy on run cancels
Kang - FB cancels
Jax - his cmd throw in wrestler
Lao - its hard to get his first rush out on a pad (I'm talking about the string that requires sliding your finger)

Ok, question for any of you run cancel character specialists. The cancel input can be done either with BB or FF - eg for cages or kangs cancels. Is there ever a reason to choose BB over FF or vice versa? Or are they pretty much interchangeable?
