MORE BLIND SPECULATION! Which characters look the strongest to you?

Fractured_Shadow

Really likes to throw things at you.
Let me start by saying I swear to God I better not see any tier lists. Just curious as to where everyones mindset is at.

The characters that I have seen that I feel will have distict advantages in the game are:

Liu Kang (This dude has a little bit of everything, great movement speed, fast normals)

Mileena (This bitch is gonna give everyone problems)

Kenshi (Wide coverage among his variations, strong zoning game, reflect, absorb, OH teleport, standing reset....Jesus... I'm counting on you @SaltShaker and @The_REAL_xVAPORx to get me Kenshi MU xp)

Honorably mention: Kung Lao

I feel we will be seeing a lot of these characters and they will be must know MUs

Master
Liu Kang (has everything plus super speed)
Takeda (shirai riu and the opponent wont move)
Kung Lao (gets in for free as soon as he has a hat on screen)

i think mileena is the weakest character theyve shown so far, but obviously i dont know the frames of her normals
kenshi still has his old tools, but i think he might be designed in a way (less pushback, worse frames) that he is a normal character now.

Kung Lao looks soooooo strong, he has what he had on MK9 and more like wuuurt?
Kenshi looks really good as well, so does Takeda, omg I can tell both of these characters will be a pain in the ass!!

Kenshi and Kung Lao (where have we heard that before?).

Honorable mention to Liu Kang. Seems balanced w/ 5f normal and IAFB and Low Fireball, etc.
 

Desperdicio

Tell me, do you bleed?
Kenshi: he's the same old Kenshi in many aspects, so I think he will remain top tier.

Kung Lao: same as Kenshi.

Liu Kang: his ability to charge health in one of his variations could be a problem, especially if he has at least one move that ends in a hard knockdown; and he looks good, overall.

Sonya: her wake-up attack in one of her variations looks like a very good tool. It's like Batman's last hit in B+2, 3 plus the distance, making it, maybe, one of the best wake-ups in the game. The same variation probably has bomb setups, so it may cause headaches.

And honorable, pitiful mention to Kung Jin, as he's probably going to suck.

Liu Kang- 5 frame standing jab, long reaching and fast d4, MMH like orb for getting in, mix ups, projectiles, a heal.....a heal....a heal...lol. Need I say more?

Other characters that look promising; Kung Lao and Kenshi.

I am going to echo other peoples thoughts and say that Kenshi, Kung Lao, Takeda and Liu Kang look really good. I also think that Raiden is really strong from what I have seen.

Where there is smoke, there is cancer.
Nobody think D'vorah looks fucking INSANE with her trident rush, far reaching normals (dat D2 though!!), and standing reset??

Luke Cang looks pretty gdlk too!
 

Circus

Part-Time Kano Hostage
How has no one mentioned D'Vorah?

People forget she's in the game for now, but when it becomes time I think we'll learn to fear her crazy ranged mixups and trident rush.

Other than her:

Takeda
Scorpion
Kung Lao
Kano
Quan Chi
