Hypnosis > Dreameater (its a reset)
so i was looking for an overall tier for characters on here, and was unable to find one. if someone could point me in the right direction that would be great, if not, then the following list is my interpretation of what the tier would be, feel free to correct any errors and to suggest movements of characters as you so choose.
high tier
cyrax (high damage, crazy combos and resets)
sub zero (excellent zoning, controls the pace of matches)
kabal (fast projectiles, NDC, aggressive resets)
kung lao (mobility, high damage)
raiden (mobility, corner destruction)
kitana (mobility, high damage, very fast)
johnny cage (super aggressive, corner destruction)
mid/high
ermac (big combos, punishes most mistakes severely)
liu kang (punishes wake up, fast, decent low projectile)
smoke (fast, big combos)
mid tier
baraka (corner damage, slow start up on moves)
noob (no decent combos, just solid zoning spam)
jax (recent buff may have made him high tier?) (corner combos, punishes wake up)
sektor (fast projectiles, fast pokes)
mileena (fast, mix ups)
csz (decent mobility, parry)
reptile (very fast, can be zoned)
freddy (zoning)
scorpion (aggressive, vortex, mix ups)
kano (zoning, corner pressure, solid wake up)
kenshi (zoning)
low tier
quan chi (i love him, but hes slow)
sheeva (lol sheeva)
jade (ex armor is only universally useful ability)
skarlet (no clue)
sindel (projectile spam. thats about it)
stryker (fastest projectile in the game, mediocre everything else)
nightwolf (slow? idk, i just think hes low tier)
shang (block strings)
sonya (tuned down JC)
rain (dont know enough about)
this list does not necessarily mean that high tier characters are god, and vice versa low tier characters are not useless, all have their uses, some more than others. nonetheless, just cuz you main a low tier doesnt make you terrible, nor are you magically good just because sub is your favorite.
