let me know if you feel something should be changed and why… ;)

dont take any of the placements to heart. its just a work in progress. not concrete, and can be changed at any time, patches are coming, dlc's on the way. who knows with all the tech being discovered each day among the die hard MK fans, if you have another opinion where some should be placed help me see it explain what needs changed and why, also where they should be placed... in time this could be a community agreed upon tier list, if thats possible?;)

There can be only one
I am VERY curious as to why you have brawler in A and Hollywood/Spec ops in B. Also Tremor Crystalline in A?! Surely metallic is better than crystalline now? There are other things I don't quite understand such as having F/T that low, and even having a D tier (I think every variation in this game is now C at least, could be wrong though) but Tremor and Cassie are the only two I can really comment on. I do appreciate you doing the variations though, lots of peoples picks for bottom 5 easily have mid/uppermid options.

I'm not gonna castrate you because you have a different opinion than me.
It's just that some of the placements are a little... unexplained.

Are these in any particular order (within tiers)?

EDIT: "Edited by a moderator 4 minutes ago?" What the did you do to my post? There was nothing wrong with it ;_; and it looks exactly the same lol

I'm trying to understand Blood God in A tier. He has no wakes ups or armor moves, no projectile, no mixups...He has great normals, and amazing damage potential, but he must have many MANY bad MUs in this game.

So Blood God Kotal is A tier (a character with no mixups, no armored launcher, and no wake up), higher than both War God and Sun God?

Take it with a grain of salt...


My thoughts on MKX Kombatant placement after 8-31-2015, no particular order.

I don’t put much value in Tier placements especially in MKX, I feel even the bottom is viable, D is the exception where I feel they have close to no good MU’s, but someone can rock them im sure.

his advancing/safe strings, there is more than one way to open someone up, and that damage! come back factor x10

Original Liu Kang cop.
@JTB123 Inferno better than Hellfire lol.

All three variations of Kano in C tier lol.

Dragon's Fang Goro better than KW LOL.

Dragon's Fang is the worst/most pointless variation in the entire game.

Ah. Now your list makes a little more sense.
You're going against the grain by saying some variations are higher on the tier list than I feel a lot of users believe.

Would you explain some like Buzzsaw, Blood God, Brawler, etc? I'm not asking for paragraphs, maybe just a sentence or two describing why they're better than their complimentary variations.
