Erron Black is mid in europ.

Dude, the best European player and one of the best Mortal Kombat players in the world got swept by Erron Black in the EVO Grand Finals. If he's mid in Europe (and I doubt Europe agrees with you), it means Europe is wrong. And this is in no way an attempt to put Europe on blast since they've proven they're awesome but Erron Black is super good.



In before "weaknesses."

Yes, he still has all the same tools. His only nerf was a damage reduction and ex flipkick being minus. Not to mention Shaolin is dumb.

Lol stop.

Kabal was the best character in MK9, but based on your logic, you're saying Sonya, Freddy, Cyrax, Kenshi and some others weren't top tier.

MMH and Aquaman were arguably the 2 best characters in IGAU, but again, based on your logic, you're saying Batgirl, superman, Flash and some others weren't top tier.

See where I'm going with this? See how ridiculous that sounds?

Again, top 10 is top tier.

If in a game all the characters suck except 3, we have 2 tiers: top tier with the 3 great characters, bottom tier with all the rest.

Top 10 is a category that is not really useful in a competitive environment, it's created on the assumption that the top 10 characters in this game are equally strong...and it is false.

Don't you understand this?

I'll throw in some other characters that people are heavily sleeping on, since every character in the poll are unanimously top tier(Outside of Kitana).

Marksman Erron Black: Probably his best variation, plays alot like Heavy weapons jax.---- Top 10 material

A-List Johnny Cage: I don't understand how someone can look at his RC data and say that he's anything but A+ tier.---- In the discussion material. For some MUs he's crazy.

Stunt Double Cage: DAMAGE FOR DAYS, and good pressure doesn't hurt either.---- In the discussion material

MoS Ermac: Everyone knows he's good, but no one outside Nikolass really plays him[Edit- Sorry Big Dolan, Zaf, and whoever else I forgot, no longer a stream monster]. He has great pokes, amazing projectile, Insta Air force blast is + on block, can Setplay you with meter, and decent armor.---- In the discussion material

Full Auto Jacqui: She's not top 10 but the Jacqui players will castrate you if you think she's anything above bottom 5. Don't listen to them.----- Higher Mid tier.

Cutthroat Kano: Safe Overhead and low, great damage, amazing anti wakeup abilities, good normals, good armor, Ex knives are plus on block, very good character that's really underrated.---- In the discussion material

Jax and Cassie. Yes, I know Cassie is used relatively often but considering how good she is, it doesn't seem proportional.

EDIT: How can I forget about Kung Jin? Jesus, that character still has many of the things that made him ridiculous in vanilla yet we're supposed to believe that he's a bill and has fallen off the tier list. Makes zero sense.

I actually kind of agree with you about Cassie, since the four best cassies (Myself, Gross, Magician, Xeno) havent really placed as high as we should be.

Big d and I also play MoS ermac. Both of us slightly missing top 8s by 1-2 rounds. He got 9th at evo I believe and I got 13th at ECT.
This character is very good. Good pokes, amazing projectile and to add on top of what you said, most of his bnbs ( without jump ins) all reach 40+%.
Most people believe he is unsafe ( which he is), however you can use a lot of safe pressure strings and stagger them to open people up. So you do not always have to take the risky 50/50 route. Very strong character. I am not sure if he is top 10 in this game right now as there are a lot of powerful characters, but he can definitely be in the conversation. His armor has also been fixed, making it very useful.

Ermac players understand why he's so good because Ermac community is best community. This is for the average potato TYM user.

And sorry for forgetting you, I don't stream monster anymore. T_T

I think Kung jin is underrepresented because nobody actually likes this character. They just hopped on in vanilla because of how good he was.

How good he was? Not much got changed on him that suddenly made him that much worse. A damage reduction and EX Flip Kick not being plus. Nothing really game changing there.

Purse first, ass last.
Does no one believe in Venomous D'Vorah due to Swarm Queen's success? I almost never see venomous online, or even D'Vorah for that matter. Such a slept on variation... it's a wake up armor killer with spray resets for days. Great for people who can't do bug cancels but like the character (me).

Top 10 is not top tier.
If a single character is much better than all the others in a fighting game, he is in a category of his own and the only top tier.

At the moment In MKX, Kung Lao, D'vorah, Cassie, Tanya, Raiden and Shinnok are the only top tier characters
Click to expand...
Why not? If there are roughly 30 characters in the game (there are currently 29 in MKX), then the top 10 being labeled "top tier," the middle 10 being labeled "mid tier," and the bottom 10 (in the case of MKX, bottom 9) being labeled "bottom tier" all seems pretty logical to me

He is still good. NJP is punishable on block too and you can't do it as fast as it used to be iirc. Kung jin got a little more fair and other characters got better, if you didn't actually like kung jin you would have dropped him by now imo.
