Who do you feel is "strong" so far?(this is not a tier list!)

[Slick Tony]

Erron Black
Goro
Jax
Jacqui
Johnny Cage
Kung Jin
Kung Lao
Liu Kang
Raiden
Sub-Zero
Takeda
Scorpion

These are just the guys I messed around with (minus Erron) but they seem to be really good.

I definetly think sub and Kano aren't low tiers this time

wrong

 

[Deleted member 9158]

I have no idea who is strong, since I haven't tried over half the cast and no one online plays well because of the lag/scrubbiness

 

[Chrishaspads]

kano's cybernetic down4 df2 is so good.

 

[Varion]

Thoughts on Ermac & kenshi?

 

[Coobyz]

I've been having loads of fun with Scorpion at the moment, trying to learn everything as best as I can

 

[shaowebb]

So far I've yet to really see anyone who is bullshit. All are pretty fair in some variation or another. I'm digging the toolset on Erron Black right now. He lends me a decent option for about any scenario without being overkill at any single tactic. Good all arounder.

 

[Monster Planet]

Ferra/Torr wins 1st or 2nd major :tonyt

 

[Sage Leviathan]

Sonya will be top 5 inside a year, calling it now.

 

[SoapBar]

We're gonna look back on this thread in a year or two, after the meta has been more thoroughly fleshed out, and all those who didn't vote Cassie are gonna feel pretty stupid.

ok i l know most of you will disagree but kotal khan has the most broken normals and some of the fastest. my friend mains him and im honestly i dont know if its cause of the characters i pick but i cant beat any of his pokes, and strings. i find that this is a common issue with some other characters. does anyone else feel that the poking/footsy game is a little off....i have played many other fighters and have never ad this issue before.

edit: oh and i have seen some really stupid hit boxes on many characters normals and specials which i feel really needs to be fixed

I love kotal, but god damnit is he not that good. His whole game is reliant on punish offense and almost off of his shit is hella negative. Sun god requires a ton of setup and war god is kinda of the only good variant he has if you want to be aggressive at all.

From a newb's perspective, Kung Jin seems really strong. Of the many beatings I've taken, his was by far the worst.

As someone learning Kung Jin right now, I'm very excited. Learned his meterless 35% today. Corners tomorrow.

I think sub is good, but everybody is sleeping on spec ops cassie, summoner quan, kano(with the knives and parry) and all of jax's variations are super good

 

[x MAD AXES x]

Not sonya

Out of those, people definitely don't sleep on Summoner and Cyberkano. A lot of thoughts on them both in the general zoning thread and their respective forum sections.

Down here in socal we all know how good they are, but I have yet to hear about the two from outside the area. OH! Also sonya, sonya is definitely cheap

 

[NY_Jailhouse]

when did i say cassie was garbage? @Pig Of The Hut

shes clearly ridiculous. insane forward moving footsie string, everything including armored wakeup move confirms into inescapable 50/50's, 40+ percent corner damage for no meter, iafb, fast run..really dont remember saying she was garbage, lol.

 

[Monster Planet]

I doubt there will be a Kabal tier character, but right now the two worst chars have to be mileena and kotal.

Unless the keep wrecking frames with these random patches, everybody else seems to have some game.

[AK Stormthegates]

I think Liu is SUPER slept on right now. Going to be playing him alot to see if it's true or not. #WUAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[DarksydeDash]

Hellfire scorpion scares me.
