Best Variation of each character (My opinions)

[CoolChameleon]

This is my list of what i think is the best variation of each character in mkx, if you think differently id love to hear your opinions in the comments below.


Jason: Relentless
Kung Lao: Tempest
Jax: Heavy Weapons
Sonya: Covert Ops
Kenshi: Possessed
Kitana: Royal Storm
Scorpion: Inferno
Sub-Zero: Grandmaster
Mileena: Piercing
Takeda: Ronin
Cassie: Hollywood
Jacqui: Full Auto
Kung Jin: Bojutsu
Tanya: Kobu Jutsu
Predator: Hish Qu-Ten
Shinnok: Bone Shaper
Kano: Cybernetic
Johnny Cage: A-List
Erron Black: Gunslinger
Liu Kang: Dragon Fire
Ermac: Master Of Souls
Kotal Kahn: Sun God
Reptile: Noxious
Ferra/Torr: Ruthless
D'Vorah: Swarm Queen
Raiden: Thunder God
Quan Chi: Summoner
Goro: Tigrar Fire
Tremor: Metallic



Explanations for a few:

Scorpion: Inferno Scorpions overhead demons and low demons can make for some pretty tricky mixups imo, and its always a pain when you get grabbed by a raw low demon.

Mileena: I'm actually changing this one for piercing, I've thought about it and I've changed my mind, (i still hate playing ravenous however)

Takeda: Restands, super fast overhead low mixups, a straight projectile, a reflect. what more do you need?

Kung Jin: Bojutsu has incredible damage, 36% for 1 bar is not to shabby, and he's got great mixups and armour usage.

Kano: Cyber has amazing projectiles, (one of the best imo) and great damage.

Kotal Kahn: Sun god can get a free sun charge whenever he wants, he can mb it for full 3 charge, and he's got and easy to do command grab, also great healing with soul scorch.

Reptile: Noxious gets rid of the clutch factor, and clutches are really hype, it sucks when your at like 8% and you just know that you won't win.

Tremor: Metallic has very good zoning with his metal balls, and he's got restands with lava form, Aftershock imo is just lacking in stuff, like all he gets is the air ground pound, thats it, besides the 3 second ground quake thingy but whatever no one really uses that i don't think.

Never understand why people post lists like this without any sort of explanation at all. Theres nothing to discuss, all we can do in response is agree/disagree

 

[Enexemander]

I guess you mean overall? Many of these would be match up specific, I would think?

I'd be more interested in which variations you thought were appropriate to different match ups, and why.

*looks for Cassie, doesn't see spec ops, close tab.

 

[Cossner]

Noxious is the worst variation for Reptile. You lose your frame advantage from the invisibility, the invisibility, you lose the damage from Nimble. You lose a lot of advantage for 1-2% extra damage in your combos. Where did you get this from?

You do get the benefit of being able to say you've never been flawless victoried though.

 

[Olcadan13]

commando is better than cybernetic

lol, maybe you should look a little closer, it says my opinion on the title, any who i think noxious is the best because you lose that clutch factor, if your on like 8% health you most likely won't be able to clutch it out because of the poison, and if your playing a character like jason relentless with no projectile it can be a problem.

So you're saying it's worth losing a hitconfirmable f21 that's plus into a 50/50 that lets you be invisible, a safe low option which was an issue in the Cassie/Jax/KL MUs, and the flash parry.... for 8%.

 

[chrisisnice]

Ravenous is currently touted as the worst Mileena variation (I don't think it has ever been #1). The Community tends to be split 60/40 between Ethereal and Piercing at the moment with Ethereal getting more popular as time goes on.

 

[ragnar0kz28]

I agree with most besides Takeda: shirai ryu, Erron black outlaw

sorry i offended you almighty reptile king, but its just my opinion, so theres no need to try to change it, i do respect your opinion however, <3

I'm telling you why it's obviously better. You can't argue without saying you offended someone?

Explain how shirai is better, I am curious, hell I personally think that shirai is his worst variation

i respect your opinion, but i think noxious is a bit better than deceptive, <3

 

[Vithar]

@CoolChameleon You must have expirience with all the Characters to create such a Thread and give opinions about them but i doubt you have.

I've had my fair share of experience with most of the cast, these are just my opinions. <3

Why are you gonna make a thread asking for discussion if you won't actually discuss anything with arguments?

 

[The Celebrity]

The purpose of this post seems solely on starting an argument. You don't explain yourself at all on these, you just list them. There's obviously controversy over a couple of them, so I'll do you a favour and request you explain, in detail, why:

• Scorpion - Inferno over Hellfire
• Mileena - Ravenous over Ethereal/Piercing
• Takeda - Ronin over SR (I agree with this one though)
• Kung Jin - Bojitsu over Shaolin
• Kano - Cybernetic over Cutthroat (I agree with this one as well)
• Erron Black - Gunslinger over Outlaw
• Kotal Kahn -
• Reptile - Noxious over Deceptive
• Tremor - Metallic over Crystalline and Aftershock

 

[CoolChameleon]

Because discussion stuff with you is pointless because you always have to be right. <3

So when someone challenges your opinion, you just say it's pointless to argue with them?
