This tweet makes me feel like Johnny, D'vorah and Ermac are gonna go untouched and that makes me sad

Should I be specific on variation or no?

I'm sure the patch is already well underway at this point. Johnny, & Ermac will get what's coming to them. lol

Alien mileena sonya kano takeda

I've always said I don't think there is a Top 5. There's like a top 3 and then there's a top 8. 4-8 are all interchangeable in my opinion.
1.) Sonya
2.) Mileena
3.) Alien
4.) Kano
5.) Johnny
6.) Dvorah
7.) Takeda
8.) Jacqui

Reading the tweets make my head hurt. Apparently kung lao is still too strong lol

 

[War_Machine_27]

No surprise there with the top two. I would like Sonya grenades to be mids that don't hit you if you release block or have them disappear when she gets hit. Anything is better than the free pressure and safe 50/50s she gets now.

 

[virtiqaL]

Voted Takeda.

Alien, Sonya, Takeda, Mileena, Johnny.

I'm not even sure I would use the term OP though. The top 5 aren't blatantly obvious, and there are ALOT of viable characters / variations now. Jax is ridiculous. Ermac and Kano are insane. Jacqui has always been severely under rated (sans her t rex limbs), Liu Kang is still Liu Kang, Lao is super good, Erron Black is still a thing, D'Vorah could be thrown into the top 5 discussion, for some reason people stopped complaining about Kung Jin even though he's almost just as retarded as he was in vanilla, a well played reptile is absurd, Quan Chi is still really good, Cassie can fuck right the hell off, Jason and Leatherface have shown viability, Shinnok is still placing in top 8s.

FIVE OP characters is what he wants? If he's gonna get feedback from twitter and there are seriously FIVE characters getting nerfed, then there's gonna be some unwarranted BS coming.

To those people that say Dvorah doesn't need a touch...is her puddle +22 or +23 on block? I can't remember...

[Apex Kano]

Alien mileena sonya kano takeda

Sonya and Kano are fine. Please stop!

 

[DET_BLAKEANATOR]

Kenshi is so bad he isn't even on the list lol

 

[Compbros]

First tweet I see:

"Sonya SF / Cassie Hollywood / KLao Tempest / Cage A-List / Jason Unstoppable / Takeda S. Ryu / Scorpion Inferno"


This isn't gonna end well.

 

[ZeroSymbolic]

So... Ya'll are cool with Jason cranking out 36% meterless and effortless? OK.

Sonya and Kano are not OP?? If they were then I haven't seen anyone who play them to get me to relax this otherwise.

 

[SylverRye]

Sonya and Kano are fine. Please stop!

Uh...no...

 

[SaltShaker]

I think nearly everyone is in agreement that we have Alien, Sonya, Mileena, and Takeda.

Then the 5th gets debatable between Johnny, Kano, and D'Vorah.

Anything after that seems like a drop off in comparison when talking about "OP tools", characters, and whatnot.

Hopefully the right thing is done by toning these guys down a little while buffing the true bad variations (Hat Trick, Balanced, Master of Storms, etc), and leaving the mid tiers alone other than their hitbox or consistency issues.

 

[Apex Kano]

Uh...no...

You think Sonya and Kano is OP? Let me guess..cause they have 50/50s on top of great pressure tools like others also have?

 

[Professor Oak]

Demo
Piercing
Acidic
Cutthroat
Mystic/Tarkatan/A List/Shirai Ryu

Safe 50/50's...

 

[errormacro7]

Yeah, Kenshi is bad for more 3 days left.

 

[SylverRye]

Im glad we have a mutal understanding here based on the votes lol.

 

[BunLantern]

Goro and Kenshi not even options.....RIP lol
