Who is the best character for beginners?

[I ChUcKy I]

i bought my brother umk3 for his 360, but he doesnt know who to start as, all he does is pick liu spam his flying kick and get owned, so i'm asking who the best character is for beginners so he can break out of his flying kick obsession. obviously i see a lot of smoke and usub online, and while smoke is one of my mains he cant stand smoke and i personally was never able to pick up subby (could be because hes very reliant on diagonal motions and my dpad sucks). so post who you started as or who you think would be easy for a beginner to pick up

ill start, i started out with cyrax and kung, and although i was getting wins i still sucked so i moved on to sindel and smoke and although technically i still suck im not nearly as terrible as i was with cyrax and kung

Scorpion is like the most beginner friendly character, with simple combos and the spear, he can be used by noobs easily.

Kabal can also be used by noobs, spin is an easy move and so is the JK - Fireball, he's got an easy pop up into JK - FB.

R.Smoke is good to start with. Simple to learn, tough to master.

I also suggest checking out and serious study the Strategy Guide section of this fine website.

 

[abc ur dead0]

Scorp.

Basic Reptile

Basic Unsub.

 

[ERrorMAKro]

Kabal

 

[mistaKM]

Scorp.

Basic Reptile

Basic Unsub.

Basic Reptile is absolutely worthless. The other two pretty much are as well, thats why kabal and robot smoke usually win this.

I say master kabal before anyone, you learn a lot about the game with him.

 

[Annihilator83]

Kabal

 

[DatBoyMook]

Sonya. Sindel. Nightwolf. They are great characters and are easy to learn. Some of the best kombos for each of them however take a little practice.

 

[Illegal Eagle]

Sub Zero
Smoke
HSmoke
Kabal
Kitana
ETC.

 

[ded]

[MastaDev]

Noob Saibot or Rain, oh or probably Shao Kahn

 

[RoGE]

Noob Saibot or Rain, oh or probably Shao Kahn

he means the arcade version of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3, which does not contain bosses or noob and rain.

I recommend you use Scorpion because of his simple combo's and moves. When you are finished with Scorpion, go straight to Human Smoke.

 

[darxyde]

RoboSmoke.

Well, it's just one of his moves man. I'm not saying it won't be easy, learning a new game period is never easy at first.

But it is one of Robo Smokes moves that often gets overlooked I've noticed, I'm just saying if I was teaching or trying to teach someone how to use Robo Smoke I would try to teach him about the invisibility move also.

Can't hit what you can't see, always an edge so why not use it?

I have to agree with rzp. People generally think R. Smoke is easy to use since he has an easy 40% combo off the teleport uppercut, but even then that is an unsafe move to begin with and many many people don't know how to use his invisibility to their advantage (most will do a teleport uppercut when they are invisible lol) and even then some will turn back to visible (lmao!) when they didn't mean it. His ground combos aren't very damaging from the ground, but punishers are excellent. I personally think Kabal and Human Smoke are much more suitable for beginners.

Sheeva. You learn Sheeva, you will destroy at this game faster than if you learned Scrub-Zero.
