Worst Variation of MKX?

[KingKhrystopher]

Why bother making the thread then?

Also el oh el at you voting for Hat Trick as the worst variation in the game. That alone should indicate the quality of your posts.

You're judging me because I have an opinion different than yours? Besides, its from both a common sense perspective and a gameplay perspective, so yeah, I said it aloud. Not to mention I allowed you to vote for two variations. Not just one.
No one plays every variation of every character. So most of what you know to be true is what others have told you or what you have seen. It's pathetic to judge me because my opinion and those of others that I know differ from yours.

And just out loud, I put every character up there because I didn't want to leave anyone out. Then people like this man here would complain that a Variation they feel sucks isn't there. So if you disagree... That's fantastic. Just don't complain so much for no real reason other than a different opinion.

It's a discussion thread, I'm giving my feedback so....you get over it lol.

Hmph. I merely wish to entertain you.

Spec Ops over Brawler?

Once again; I don't play Cassie. I heard Spec Ops was the worst, I have to use it because I don't play her and cannot refute it.

...and this thread is proof that some people can dish it out, but can't take a punch.

?

Lol at Spec Ops Cassie, Warlock Quan, Deceptive Reptile, Ethereal Mileena, Special Forces Sonya, Imposter Shinnok.
I could go on but naw

Oh shit, please guys, sincerely, what is everyone's worst Variation and why? Because I'm clearly out of the game. Seriously. I'm not trying to mock anyone.

 

[KidVanDal]

Heavy weapons, lol.

 

[KingKhrystopher]

*Looks for Spec Ops, sees Spec Ops, Cries*.


There are characters with no actual "bad" variation and shouldn't be included: Cassie, Jax, Sonya, Tanya, Erron Black, etc.

Like I said, I just went ahead and did one for every character. I mean, if I forgot one like Hat Trick Lao, everyone starts complaining about me forgetting him.

 

[ArmedCalf]

Throw my comment in the "I lol'd at Imposter pile".

But nah even Necromancer is awesome.

I'm gonna go ahead and say Warrior Predator

@KingKhrystopher i see what you're saying, but some things should have been left out as opposed to wanting to include one of every character. For example, you would have been better off including both Spectral and Mystic in the same poll over any version of Jax or Cassie. No one is going to say, "I can't vote for Brawler?! That's the worst in the game", and if they do say it their opinion should be disregarded anyways as uninformed or trolling.

If you're trying to see where popular opinion is listing the worst variation in the game there should only be about 10 or so realistic choices available.

I see. Thank you for possessing class and not trying to make me feel bad or less than because I don't agree with you.

 

[1man3letters]

ethereal listed for mileena?!? might as well have tempest for kung lao in for his so.

 

[BoromiRofGeo]

lol

 

[xWildx]

I'm confused as to why Ethereal Mileena is here.

 

[DavS13]

I skimmed through and saw heavy weapons jax and sun god kotal, and that's all I needed to see to come to the conclusion that no thought whatsoever went into this list.

 

[KIllaByte]

there's a difference between pointless variations and truly bad ones.
Dualist and Hat trick serve no purpose that other variations do, other than being something different to have fun with, but both are more playable / usable tier than unstoppable, unbreakable, and spectral...

 

[dennycascade]

As dumb as OP's list is, I think we should be focusing more on his question, being which is the worst variation in MKX.

I think some actual candidates would be High Tech Jacqui, Fisticuffs Johnny, Master of Storms Raiden, and Unstoppable Jason.

High tech jacqui has mediocre frame traps from her cancels, a buff that's really hard to get out safely, and zero fullscreen presence. The variation's only saving grace is the unblockable setups which really only work until your opponent learns to backdash or jump.

Fisticuffs Johnny, post nerf, has no legit mixups or frame traps other than EX fireball, a chip buff that's also extremely difficult to get out, and his money string the b121 is now just laughably easy to escape. There's no reason to play this variation when you could play Flame Fists Kang or Kobu Tanya and do basically the same thing, just 5 times more efficiently.

Master of Storms Raiden is just a joke variation I believe. The lightning rays hit high, lol. This variation does absolutely nothing useful.

Unstoppable Jason speaks for itself.

Anyone think these four could compete for the absolute worst variation? I would like to hear other people's nominations.

 

[Trauma_and_Pain]

I'm the one guy who voted "I dunno" lol. Well it's true. I haven't played all the variations i this game enough to make that call. I very much doubt many of us can. If I had to decide, I guess I would choose Unstoppable.

I can tell you that Ruthless does not belong on the list. It's considered strongest or tied for strongest variation for F/T. It used to be way worse before the 8/31 patch. Lackey has to be F/T's worst.

 

[BlackViper415]

Why did you choose Full Auto over High Tech? I'm pretty sure even the best Jacqui players in the world have no idea what the heck that variation is supposed to do.

 

[XxSYNDROISxX]

High tech Jacqui

 

[The PantyChrist]

Hat trick is far from the worst variation in the game. At launch it may have been in the running but now no way

 

[I GOT HANDS]

Unstoppable Jason is the correct answer here.



Hat Trick is arguably not even the worst KL variant, pretty sure he has a bigger player base on here than Buzz Saw at this point

 

[Renzokuken]

It's not the worst variation by any means, but Ancestral makes me cry.

Luckily, Kung Jin is one of those characters who doesn't need all of his variations to make him competitively viable.

 

[Doctor Rektangle]

Call me Crazy but I prefer Spectral Ermac waaaay over Mystic. Mystic got those Kenshi problems.

 

[Tweedy]

Isn't Spec Ops Cassie Cage considered top tier by most? lol

 

[Ayase Chihaya]

Just let this thread die boys, judging by his posts in this thread and variations he put up he must be trolling.

 

[GLoRToR]

Pyromancer. No tools.

 

[Prinz]

What I see in the OP are the least used variations of the characters. Doesn't mean they're bad. You people are not giving Spectral Ermac enough credit, it's better than Mystic for sure.
With that being said, my bottom five variations are Kuatan Warrior, Dragon Fangs, Tigrar Fury and the other two variations Goro had planned for him but didn't make it into the final game.
Also kudos for mentioning Noob.

Warrior Predator
