The smart stuff!
Meh i forgot to tick Shinnok (why no option to change the voite?). Got my bet on Lao, Pred, Quan and D'vorah. Although If I could give another 5, they would go to Jax, Cassie, Raiden, Erron and Kitana.

Kung Lao doesn't have a single weakness and gets Predator damage for a bar and better damage meterless than plenty of characters get for a bar. I have no idea what they were thinking with him
No 50/50s, semi decent pokes. Slow movement, slow teleport, slow projectiles etc.

LOL voted Kung Jin by mistake, it was for Lao btw
Mine is not a really a top 5, some are really debatable:
Predator or Kung Lao
Shinnok
Tanya
Cassie or D'vorah

That's a fun way to spell Shinnok. Honestly mate, Kung Lao is indeed cancer, but at least he CAN be zoned. Kung Lao is overwhelming, definitely. I think Kung Lao's damage could be toned down, but atm, Shinnok is just ridicolous. I laugh every time I hear someone claim "omg, shinak is only top 10 - top 5 is tu much". But yea, both fighters are absolutely terrorizing to fight

All too easy...

No 50-50s isnt a weakness, Id take EX spin over 50-50s anyday. Semi decent pokes? Spin beats any attempt at counter poking so hes going to win the poking war regardless and has amazing advancing mid strings that lead into his autopilot block pressure. Slow movement? Instant air divekick begs to differ. Slow teleport? Give me a break, its a teleport wih 3 options out of it, one of which is overhead combo starter and the other an unblockable, that isnt a weakness, thats just another tool he has. Just because a move isnt as good as EX spin doesnt make it weak, let alone a weakness to the character. Can I start adding "no teleport" the the list of Ferra Torr weaknesses? Slow projectile? Zoning isnt a thing in this game, Id much rather have a MID projectile you can control to get jumpers all day, its being able to chip them out that counts

Shinnok is an honorable mention for a character without a weakness for sure, but Kung Lao takes if for having divekick, spin, and EX spin among other things.

...and still one the best in the game lol

The nerve of some people...
 
There are a few characters not listed that can make a strong case for top 10. I am lucky enough to play some of the best players in the country. In my opinion (and its only an opinion) I think the following are the strongest. The game is only months old and the meta is sure to change, things will be found to change matchups, et cetera

S+ (in no order) (in common? loopable pressure)
Kung Lao (tempest, buzz saw)
Shinnok (bone shaper and imposter)
Quan Chi (summoner)

A+ (in no order)
A-list cage (there are only a few people that understand why yet)
Predator (hunter)
Raiden
D'Vorah
Erron Black
Lui Kang (same as a-list, high execution but has block infinites) (dragon fire)
Tanya (kobu)

MK1 is the best MK period.
And Lao has decent dmg no need to be toned down and even if they did he still would be top tier because of his design. Y'all bitching now wait till the hit box issues are fixed for the cast. Oh and fyi watch out for A list Johnny.

Impostor isn't fucking S+ tier lmfao
 
Impostor isn't fucking S+ tier lmfao
Bone shaper is... in a few matchups where imposter steals something that can loop them... it is S+ and he gets a top 3 vortex in the game. but in some matchups he steals stupid stuff... then imposter is just another character with the best teleport in the game.

For fun I voted for Kung Lao, Shinnok, Predator, Raiden, and Tanya. Seems I'm not too far off from other users opinions. Also, I have a feeling our opinion of Raiden will fade with time.
 
S+ = Kabal tier. No character in MKX is even remotely close to that, let alone fucking Impostor lol.
i guess i mean s+ tier in terms of top tier in mkx. i understand what you are saying though. but in this game, the char i put in s+ are well above most of the cast (with some exceptions matchup wise)

I based mine soley on who I have the most issues with playing as kenshi, it's very similiar to most except 1 character.

1. Dvorah-the long range and fast move set is a nightmare I lose to people that pick her that I really shouldn't lose to. She seems to be easy to pick up, which is no slight to the best Dvorah players cause she is also hard to master.

2. Kung Lao- need I say more lol

3. Shinnok- I have learned to read his movements better but still with all is weapons at his disposal its still sometimes a guessing game

4. Predator- the armor leap he does is so annoying a lot of times it will look like it wiffs and I try to punish it still connects, then you add the poke, range and traps:eek:

5. Kitana- I can't exactly put my finger on a single reason just the overall package
