tell me about that great mixup
she has 2 combo starters, b123 or 123. both start high
how is that a mixup?
b12 or b14

Unreactable and both lead to damage. If they’re gonna continuously block the overhead, you get a free low. You can also abuse the low krushing blow from bf4 at least once per match.

Why is everyone playing tournament variations?? We are not professional, just play ranked and have fun. I am having so much fun with misery blade scorpion
If you are playing ranked you have to play the tournament variations anyways.

That and you don't have to be professional to want to play whats considered the proper competitive "modes"

no combos =/= bad characters. there's more to fighting games than just long strings
i didn't mention combos, i mentioned movelist.

look at kotal kahn. in mkx he could do close, medium, far sunray, he could choose totems, his sword special could go low or mid, he had several starters, overall options significantly more. look at the difference in variations for quan chi, or tremor, and how much they fundamentally change the character. now look at mk11, grats, you got 1 more special move that's a worse version than its mkx equivalent.

Reading through this thread is telling me one thing - NRS NEEDS TO ALLOW CUSTOM VARIATIONS IN COMPETITIVE

Every character seems so neutered and watered down. The tournament variations aren't fun. Make all the fucking moves available for people to make their own loadouts. I don't give a shit about balance right now. That will be adjusted anyway.

This game has so much potential. Allow it to reach that potential.

People shit on MKX a lot, but I was having way more fun with that game at launch than I am with MK11, and it doesn't need to be that way at all.

Why does Kabal's spin move barely keep them stunned. What happened to having some time to hit the opponent after!

inb4 people tell me that I'm supposed to start hitting them right after w/o dashing/moving.

Kung Lao's Spin barely pushes them in the air enough for me to hit them after!!

I knew what I was doing in all Mortal Kombats...until this one. I feel lost!
Because NRS decided combos aren't what players want anymore, apparently.

You don't even have time to do a jump in punch on most stun moves. I could see if the short combos actually did a ton of damage, but man is it a boner killer to finally launch an opponent and collect that oh so juicy 19%.

just implement better tournament variations that fully utilizes the character's potential. it would be impossible to regulate custom variations in tournaments. what's the point of competitive play if balance is thrown out the window? just play casual if that's the case

IMO worst in no order:

Raiden
Kotal Kahn
Shao Kahn

My thoughts on best (shouldnt be a surprise at this point tbh):
No order:

Sonya
Erron Black
Subzero
Geras
Liu Kang
Can you explain Raiden and Kotal. Out of the cast I feel Kotal has great Normals, but I admit if we are going by tournament variations he has to have kahn-cut but if it was custom I feel he is top tier when combined cut and totems. I feel his pokes, range, mix-up are good.

Can you explain why Liu Kang is so good? I feel like his pressure is meh with 12 being highs and his popup being mid/high and punishable.

Sonya, I definitely feel she is good but her only launcher is punishable b123 and the 134 is a high starter. B1 is 9f high and what I was gonna justify using to open was b234 fake out but the fake out is reactable 33f.
She definitely has mix-up and decent damage but it's all very punishable on main launcher into db2 BnBs .

I'm not sure on Raiden was thinking on picking him up. His combos seem meh swag wise. But I'd like to hear why you think he is bad. Isn't most if the casts launchers and mixups punishable/have gaps/high starters/or slow in some cases.
