Who is the worst character in MKX?

Mid hitting fans would make her broke, you know that, I think fixing her d1, F2 being an overhead and removing db2 from the game because its useless would do. If they feel kind they would make her parrys better, taking off some startup frames, also on kitanas damage buff its too slow.
yea it would be broken if she had it across all variations, but i feel like mid hitting fans during sharpen would be fine. it'll only be available in 1 variation and only lasts 6 secs. setting up a sharpen is already hard enough so we should probably be rewarded for it, no?

I don't think reptile is bottom 5.

Nimble has decent pressure and mixup tools. damage is bad without meter(but alot of chars are aka buzzsaw lao outside of punishes)
he gets great damage off punishers with a bar (35% midscreen and 44% corner 1 bar)
slide/ex slide punishes alot of moves that other chars cannot
dash is nowhere as near as good as mk9, but a pretty good tool. seen it use as an anti air.
has tools to blow up armor wake ups with his df3(iirc? it's like a 3 hitting sweep)
You cannot block while in nimble. Pressure is nice but it does very little damage because it scales a lot. I have no idea what you mean by "get a lot of damage from punishers" since that's every character in the game. Midscreen is 39 and corner is 49. Ex slide is 8% for 1 bar. Dash as an anti air no idea what that means since it whiffs on air opponents. Df3 is fast force ball. You mean b34 and no it doesn't blow up wake ups like Cassie or KJ at all. Matter of fact you can whiff punish it if you delay it a little bit and its -8 on block.



Reptile is definitely not the worse though.

I might have to say Goro, he's only really got 1 launching combo that whiffs half the time on the last hit(b1,2,u2) and you need meter for basically everything else, he does have good long pokes and armor but that's about it. He's slower, clunkier and does the same damage as everyone else without the benefit of tons of mix ups or speed.

Fujin and Ermac for MK 11
Why is F/T considered one of the worst characters? Their combos are pretty easy and damaging, Torr has lots of armor, their NJP is the best in the game and I've seen Grr whopping some ass with F/T. I don't play F/T, but from what I've seen, I'd say it's almost as good as Ermac or at least Kano.
I think anyone can win in the right hands vbut its a chore with ftm plus those are good points but what about the negatives? Slow, and can't really do much against zoning. I don't think ft is the worst in the entire game, just lower imo. As an ermac player i would have to disagree, but kano I agree.

Kitana is currently a waste of time and you would be stupid to waste your time learning her and her complicated ass combos (like I did).

If she doesn't get buffed then she's just a nonfactor. She should only be playable in Test Your Luck.

You cannot block while in nimble.
if nimble is activated, isn't his job is to open the opponent up? during nimble, any mixup can lead into good damage. if they push buttons i'd imagine it being way to slow, and him getting rewarded with a free whiff punish. I understand the gimmick of activating it during blockstrings but some people do not react to it everytime.

I have no idea what you mean by "get a lot of damage from punishers" since that's every character in the game.
I worded that incorrectly, i meant off of certain mixups. he does have a quick mid to overhead string(f32?) that can get annoying even after you block it. the interesting part is that if they get hit by the overgead, you cancel into ex nimble and get alot of damage off of it. Even with meter, lao's reliable overhead strings grant him no damage. but some cases, reptile pressure can get gimmicky real quick so i guess that's not really a plus.

You mean b34 and no it doesn't blow up wake ups like Cassie or KJ at all..
It does not. but it blows up alot of Jax, Cage and Sonya's Wake up options. It's still a decent tool to use and safe on block Lao has f4 to blow up wakeup but that shit is unsafe af if they happen to block lol.

So many people saying Kitana, yet I often get destroyed by her online...

No, it scales. Why would they push buttons? And yeah you only have to add like +5 frames but every special is still punishable.

f41. It's -5. His whole pressure game is a gimmick. If they're getting hit by the second OH in f41 then you're playing against scrubs lol the fact that its so easy to block and get out of forces you to use one of his full combo punishable mix ups to get anything out of it.

You're playing the wrong players, who are waking up at the wrong time. Ex nut punch blows it up, oh ex superman punch blows it up. Everyone can blow up sonya's wake ups by just d4ing though.

Idk man, i've seen it blow up superman punch. the b3 part low profiles it, and the rest of the string punishes him. i think his only chance would be going for the overhead version.

Kitana. She is really hard. Try her out and you will see that you have few options. Very unsafe normal's. Poor reach and slow on pokes. No way to open up opponents. Too many risks for which you get blown up. The only thing in her favor is a somewhat decent zoning.

I can't even imagine why people are saying Reptile. I've ignored that garbage. I guess low to mid 30s is too low. Super fast safe overheads are bad. +25 D4 and increased chip damage is bad. force ball oki is bad. The range of F12 is super bad. k. D3 into EX safe overheads that you can juggle off that hits so fast it can stuff mot armored wakeups.... that's bad. ending combos to safely activate all of the variation specific specials, totally bad.

Kitana Sucks. Goro Sucks. Ferra Torr sucks.

Quan chis is the worst character in the game. No wakeups, mediocre damage, unsafe on everything and he looks like a power rangers villain. I hope he stays dead for MKXI

that's so wrong i can do them online n offline.


Jason,kitana and Biggie/Smalls fundamentally flawed. If he didn't had hes pokes Blood god and Sungod would be on the List.
I've never seen a good one on PC, glad to know you have a good connection tho

I'd think it would be broken, but then I think of about what most of the cast can do. Kitana's fan does 1.75% chip damage. If normals didn't do chip damage, and multiple characters couldn't just blast through it, then I certainly could see it being broken. But a single blocked string from Inferno Scorpion does like 6% chip. Not to mention all the many ways to get around it and a good portion of the cast can outzone her as is. Liu Kang, Tanya, Kenshi, Kano etc. Also Kano's mid projectile hasn't moved him up the tier list enough to be a threat, and yes I realize he can't combo from a grounded version, but still. Granted his moves much faster than hers.

What I think would make her ridiculous would be an overhead combo starter with F2. Given her ridiculous air control, suddenly being able to jump in and go into basically a 50/50 would give her too much raw damage potential imo. Landing one overhead from forward 2 = 36-38% That does more damage than 20 blocked fans. Just let than sink in for a moment before stating that it is op.
