What's new

What if all the variations were rolled up into one? Who would be best & Who would you choose?

The best mediocre Batman
An interesting idea was being discussed among the Dallas MKX group, courtesy of @Korey Wilburn. Given the growth of Mortal Kombat X, and the knowledge we as a community possess, which character would be the strongest if all their variations were combined?

Since I main Kung Lao, I don't think too many changes would occur. He would gain low hat for extra zoning and mixups, and possibly the option to choose which version of EX spin to use. I honestly don't know anything about Hat Trick.

Discuss!

shinnok would be annoying as fuck to fight against, hard to say who'd be the overall best though.

Honestly. Lui Kang above alelse. Armor-breakigis his thing so now you can add that to his yin-yang formations, run cancels into whirlwind punchs.

Quan Chi-Portal kicks/runes,bats, and armor portals. Hell on wheels.

Jacqui-Zoning with restands combined with her high tech run cancels and ridiculous damage. We would all die horribly.

Sub-Zero- See above post.

Jax- Need I say why? Tick throws and gotcha grabs.

Know who would still suck....Kenshi.

Think about Cassie. She'd have Rockets, she'd have tick throws, she'd have mixups where you have to guess 4 different times or something lol.
This too. Cassie Cage would be a walking wall of NOPE.

The worst hands down would be either Kenshi or Goro if they had all three variations mixed together.

What about Jason? Unstoppable and relentless aren't that much different from the base. It's basically Slasher with tick throws and some other crappy specials that aren't used lol

Yeah that too. Although if Jason got his unstoppable damage setup off WITH the F42 string, you're looking at about 50%+ meterless combos I believe. Additionally, Jason would have an easier time doing pursuit with Slasher moves and such. If you're opponents controls are reversed and you do your low overhead mixup, god help the person who's fighting the Jason who got all his setups off.

I mean it's all theory, we can't lab so I'll just agree lol.

Most characters would be really really dumb. Erron black having rifle cancels, outlaw njp and armored launcher, stand off stance. That would be insane.

I think the best would be Quan chi, shinnok, Dvorah and Cassie

True true, I'd love for a mod or mode to come out where somehow everyone in the cast had ALL their moves from different variations. Would be a step-up from something like test your luck. lol
There was a thread about this mod recently, I suggested an idea that somebody who could make the mod might be able to do but apparently it wouldn't work for some reason and the mod currently isn't possible.

Poopbutt.
I have to second Kotal. Throw down totems to halve damage, have access to ridiculous 50% (at least) combos w/ one bar at all times. Tasting the blade around every corner. He'd be pretty damn good.

In reality though, I think Predator would be the best. It would be the most ridiculous zoning character in fighting games, ever. And then if he needed to get in he'd be just fine anyway.
