So you're basing your top 5 on how easy it is to use the character? Also I feel like you just have a problem with the matchup or just don't understand it at all. Or you don't play this game enough. Idk there could be a lot of reasons. But I'm just gonna go ahead and say you're wrong lol
Honestly, you could say that about any number of characters. It all boils down to preference of opinion.
I think the difference between Kano and the other 4 is he has to work harder, as funny as that sounds lol. He requires a lot more meter than the other 4 to be effective, and pretty much needs a bar at all times to be at his best. Also he gets out done in the footsie department by Mileena, Takeda, and Alien, while requiring more meter than they do. His stupid 50/50's still require a bar, and 2 bars if they guess right the first time, while Sonya cranks out uber damage off the same stupidity meterless. While also having uber whiff divekick a Jip of doom and etc.
My bad ! I made a mistake.
...Please explain.
Then you would understand that the thing that works best in this game (with the one exception since the release of the game being Piercing Mileena) is dumb pressure. I'll give you 1 example from my list alone that would knock Mystic out of top 5. A-List Johnny. Out of the bunches of examples I could give you, I'll give you 2. 1.) Relentless jailing pressure. 2.) SAFE...LAUNCHING 50/50s that can be canceled keep in mind that end in a restand into more guaranteed pressure
This is another comment in this thread I won't take seriously lol
Kill me now
List all of Kotal's OP issues. Kotal is what I'd like to consider an overall highly balanced character. Yes, he has wonderful buttons and is chock full of 6f moves (d1, d4 and d2) and his b1 is great. However, he does have cons. His wakeups are stuffable (altogether avoidable on a read in Sun God), is punishable on a lot of things in War God (learn to punish db1 and db2 by going to the lab and seeing what range(s) you can/cannot punish at and with what), and has gaps all over the place.
Only way he get's 40% 1 bar is if you get opened up by his 114 which is a high mid mid into an ex air grab lol. If you know anything about this game or this character (which sounds like you don't) you know you're getting hit by 20% combos pretty much the whole game from unsafe mixups that have all gaps lol. I'm gonna go ahead and stop myself from continuing this useless discussion any further
I always look at Kotal as "The Epitome of Balance for MKX" He has tons of good stuff that can make him a monster in the right hands but has his weaknesses. Tekken Master shows this WONDERFULLY. He picks him as a comfort pick, something he enjoys that's solid but when he needs the help the character sometimes needs, TM switches to D'Vorrah. He's good, but he isn't op op.
Ok, maybe as bad as Alien is hyperbole. But he's definitely in the same ballpark as milenna and everyone wants her sent to shadowrelm. lol. Maybe it's an online issue but scorpion seems darn near safe on everything. I wish I could go into more detail but I have a limited fgc vocabulary. I know im going to get blown up but it's all good.
Well which variation we talking here?
They are mids... Bruh
I agree, Cutthroats only really dumb once he's outplayed you in the neutral and gotten in AND has meter. I really hope all they do is nerf the plus frames off exdd3, and maybe take away its armor.
