What are the most annoying variations to play against?

[GeoffBedlam]

Pfffffft Jacqui is terribad. She's not really a threat

Yet you wreck me every time you get at full screen with her. Nice downplaying, brah

 

[MsMiharo]

Based on online:
* Hellfire scorpion. Jump for free for days.
* Piercing Mileena in laggy games.
* Vicious F/T due to njp covering half the screen and being hard to punish. Also random X-Rays.

Ha, random x-rays get me almost every time. It's always so unexpected... Probably because I never use mine, ever. I value my meter.

1. Grandmaster subzero
2.mileena
3. Erron black

Idk what it is about sub zero but he is my nemesis character in this game sometimes I feel the person has barely done anything to me and when I look at my life I'm about to die
Mileena is the worst in lag and it seems like every time I play one the lag is real.
And finally err on black idk if its input delay or what but I know the OH low is coming and I hit block and it catches me constantly and they will get away with it the whole match and I sit there looking dumb like I can't block it but I know I'm hitting the block button every time before it hits lol

 

[Farpafraf]

1) Erron Black (outlaw and marksman).
2) Kung Jin (Bojutsu).
3) Quan chi (summoner).

Idk about a specific variation, but I do know that every time I guess wrong against a 50/50, I do everything I can not to throw the controller at my opponent. But when they guess wrong, I giggle like a maniac inside.

Online I rage when I press the "online" icon on the main menu. Everything that follows this decision is rage inducing, it's the best variation in MKX IMO.

Hah... Yes. Good point.

Those of you who are irritated by GM Sub Zero need to understand that the ice clone is slowly becoming more and more irrelevant after the latest set of patches.

I definitely understand your hatred for GM players but when you face a good GM it's awesome.

The characters I find the most annoying would be Kung Jin (slowly become less annoying) and Kenshi.

Characters I tend to have trouble with but don't think anything bad about them would be characters like Summoner Quan Chi, Imposter Shinok and Cybernetic Kano.

I don't mind almost all the characters in MKX but online it has to be Mileena. I'm pretty sure the lag I get with mileena players is the best pressure in the game by far.

 

[STB Sgt Reed]

How many am I allowed to post? lol

 

[IROC]

I only hate Lag, and his "button latentcy" variation.

 

[Eldriken]

D'Vorah - Venomous and Swarm Queen
Erron Black - Outlaw
Mileena - Any variation
Scorpion - Hellfire and Inferno
Sonya - Covert Ops
Sub-Zero - Grandmaster

I Dont hate the clone it doesn't really bother me to be honest I like slowing down the pace of mkx its a nice change sometimes. Sub zero just gives me a hard time and it mostly due to online I can never punish slide right online and even with minimal effort I feel like my life is gone lol its definitely more of a me problem tho not a sub zero problem

 

[MK_GDROM]

Any character in this game- Online variation.
On a serious note
- Erron Black Outlaw
- Scorpion Hellfire
- Ermac Master Of Souls
- Jacquie Full Auto

Cripes this gets me, people use them in the worst situations. 99 second X-Rays to stay competitive!

edit: Every variation has something that's annoying, that's fighting games.

Oh what's that? Your Opponent just got knocked down online and has full bar? Wake Up X-Ray every time.

 

[BunLantern]

As a Goro player

Scorpion (Inferno and Hellfire)
Kung Lao (Tempest and Buzzsaw)
Tanya (All variations)
Ermac (MOS)
Kano (Knife, Knife, Knife, Knife, Roll, Jump away, Knife, Knife. This matchup isn't so much hard as it is boring)
Mileena (All variations, probably my most hated match up online. She's so damn hard to punish with even the slightest bit of lag.)

TLDR: Fuck teleporters and Kano

 

[Wetdoba]

Bojutsu Kung Jin. So incredibly simple, easy, and effective. Has every tool in the book but doesnt even need half of them. He can beat you with nothing but NJP, JIP, 111, and EX bow spin. Builds meter for free and then gets to spend it on you. Oh and dont try to armor against him, because he has an armor breaking normal that is neutral on block, because Kung Jin having to make a read himself would just be too much to ask for. Doesn't even need to use his half screen overheads and lows or air fireball, those are just luxury tools at this point. I'm trying to think of another character that is so easy but gives so much reward with so little risk in an NRS game and I seriously can't

 

[SoundsLikePAUSE]

The great thing about this is most players that do this usually RQ if you block the X-Ray. Or they just sit there and let you beat them and you can standing 1 them repeatedly till they RQ. Mileena's standing 1 is a bitch slap so it's pretty satisfying. lol

But, anyways, most annoying variation is definitely Hellfire Scorpion. Grandmaster Sub a close second. Both make me want to reevaluate my life choices.

 

[Gesture Required Ahead]

Anything with a ridiculous-looking NJP

 

[SoapBar]

It boggles my mind that people will say that Full-Auto Jacqui and Grandmaster Sub aren't that bad, only to turn around and list Mileena as one of their most annoying characters.>_>

 

[Houndovhell]

Grandmaster sub is indeed weird to play against online, you cant really react to slides when youre already 5+ frames behind xD
Inferno Scorp is a stupid one, too - yes, im going to sit full screen and spam le minions, then teleport randomly D
Full Auto Jacqui - Just no
Cybernetic Kano - Just no
Any Variant Jason - take your non FG character and GTFO

 

[GAV]

Kung Jin Bojutsu is the only one I hate. He's overly-easy and boring.

Those two are only annoying if you can't punish their full screen antics. So, pick up a player who can deal with this stuff. These tactics can be frustrating when I use Kotal Khan, but Ermac and Quan Chi tear it up. Most players have at least one of these two, or Mileena, Scorpion, Kung Lao, Jax, or Goro to blow through these noob tactics.

111 was nerfed in the patch, as was his F3 - you are incorrect that the F3 is neutral on block, the patch made it negative.
