What are the most annoying variations to play against?

The ony thing I find annoying is ppl spamming the same shit over and over thinking that they are good. "I mean, motherfucker I can do the same damn shit. So whats your point?"

"My kunai will find it's mark."
Don't really have many characters that I'm like well...this will be mad ghey to fight. lol

But I'll add one, Erron Black Marksmen. Only because I get hit every time I try to punish F12>DB2 despite me being able to punish it every time offline.

I love Subby for the challenge and extra elements he adds to gameplay, and there are definitely other characters who change the game in their own way, which is why for my secondary's I've stuck to simpler characters who don't take neither the execution or comfort ability that I feel SZ does to compete
BAHAHAHAHAHA

I take it from your response that you often find yourself losing to Sub Zeros playing poorly.

This is because you are a poor player.

Level up
No, I just would love to know what your secondaries are, cause sub zero's execution is really really low.

Heavy Weapons Jax. Offline he's fine.

Online it's nearly always some idiot abusing lag and spamming rockets, with hard hitting combos that only require a couple of buttons.

Honestly he's still not even that hard to beat, since everyone that plays him for this seems to be pretty trash. However, it's just a waste of time, win or lose it's a Strat that will never work without lag there to help, boring ass hell to play against
There are better characters to zone with than jax. His rocket just hurts. It by itself shouldn't be good enough to constitute losing matches. That and his midscreen combos are retarded online if u think its easy you should try it. Heavy weapons is getting like 35 ish percent 1 bar midacreen but it drops a lot due to lag.

The absolute worst and my vote goes to special forces sonya aka droneya.

It's completely brain dead. What other game can you think of where it's beneficial to decide to stop blocking and use one move to counter 90% of the game.

I mean in most situations she is forcing you to use a very well timed bar of meter in order to armor thru her drone ball she used without thought or care. Why do we need to meter to gain more than 7-12 %?

Main thing is she is just so derp and defies the basic principal of fighters when you adjust to your opponent. For her it's cookie cutter and requires no thought

Kenjutsu Kenshi, and Dualist Liu Kang.

Literally. So try barking up another tree on that one.




I've also played around with the majority of the cast to come to my opinion here.


Execution isn't a word restricted entirely to nailing the timing on combos, the execution of SZ's gameplan is what I find uniquely challenging. Anyone finding this statement outrageous is probably just used to opponents who pretty much use Clone as a shield for a free projectile all game, into combo on connect. And to be fair, if I hadn't played SZ and this was all I had encountered, honestly I'd be inclined to agree. However SZ is much much deeper than that to me just as he is to the SZ players I respect, and the massive amount different things you can use Clone for in its abilities as a positioning tool, or a stationary set up, a choice between a jail or a combo starter in the corner, or just the vanilla ones like being a high damage close range projectile with Shatter, a long range excellent hitbox projectile, or a shield for an Iceball, and a parry, and finding the best way to take advantage of it on the fly against a reacting opponent / mixing up my gameplay after each clone, I find Subby to be the most compelling character currently. You don't have to agree. I'm actually in the process of making a video and a demonstration, if you are actually interested in this I can tag you in it when I'm finished. Or maybe you are just looking to troll because you are salty about losting to standard online scrublord ice-clone projectile turtling, I have no idea. Just because the skillfloor is very low on SZ doesn't mean the skillcap isn't also very high.

I think you are missing what I'm saying here. This isn't a problematic match up for me at all. I'm just saying, as soon as I see them pick it I know where the game is going and I know it's going to be a boring match, win or lose, it's barely even MK to me and reminds me more of Donkey Kong, just dodging the barrels getting closer to the finish line, lol. It's different to other online spamlords,eg Jacquis best variation is full-auto so this one can go either way, it just feels like there is no other reason to pick this variation of Jax over the others except for playing like a muppet, and so far everytime thats what happened

For me erron black in general. He's legit but all players do is cross you up with punch and that one string of his hits overhead low really quick so online i can't block it.

I get it now just found it odd that of the few annoying zone type characters u found jax more obnoxious than Jacquie or droneya or even quan.
