Bottom 5 Character Project

[GodsLonelyman]

My Opinion In no particular order:
-Noob Saibot
-Sindel
-Sheeva
-Stryker
-Jade

 

[Flagg]

Disagree w me all u want but my bottom 5 cannot beat a top tier character

CSZ can

I dont think Kitana has an easy time against Kano, and CSZ struggles like hell against her. I'll always defer to your opinion Pig, cause you play at a far higher level then me and probably know many more match ups, but I think Kano is better than CSZ.

 

[GNG Iniquity]

Can't believe how many people think Sindel is one of the worst lol

Those Sindel forums will BLOW UP soon.

 

[NRF CharlieMurphy]

lol... here is the thing. Mr. Mileena is taking Sindel to FR. Mr. Mileena is a helluva player. If he does well... thats on HIM, not the character.
So no... i don't' think i'm in for a rude awakening at all. You don't' seem to afraid... so what changes?

I also disagree with CSZ beating any of the top 5. I think YOU can beat people with CSZ, but all things equal, I don't think he measures up at all against Kabal, Kitana, Jax, Kung Lao, Raiden, or even Kenshi. Think of it this way. If you played yourself CSZ v. all of those characters at the same level.... you'd beat your own CSZ a majority of the time.

Sub-zero
Baraka
Stryker
Noob
Sindel

Well, someone has to be the bottom 5. Sindel is like Sheeva in the sense that both these characters have so much potential. I mean look at that recent Sheeva tech that Jerimiah found. Her damage output is insane, she has like 3 hyper armour moves.

Im guessing Sindel tech involving her levi cancel is going to be revealed. I find levi cancel effing hard to use in the heat of the moment, far harder than NDC (just my imo).

Csz > raiden

csz < jax
csz < kit
csz < kabal ***SLIGHTLY ask reo if u dont believe me please
csz 5-5 kenshi - I promise

CSZ can

Well that's not really how tier lists work do they. I guess you're looking at the viability of characters in tournaments more than actually how good or bad they are.

What if a character blows up everyone 7-3 except for the top 5 where he goes 4-6? Is he bottom tier just because of that? Not really, it just means he's a good character but maybe not tourney viable in the current meta-game.

im not basing it off that completely just taken a little credit for that for the characters such as csz and sindel

both imo are under rated if you think they are bottom 5

again this isnt official, im not official...community collaborative effort

 

[9.95]

I can't believe that Sub-Zero seems to have dropped so far... wow...

Anyway, from solely a spectator's point of view: No Particular Order

Jade
Sheeva
Ermac
Skarlet
Rain(CDJr's doesn't count)

 

[TheChad_87]

Jade, Sindel, Baraka, Sheeva, Stryker

How is Sub-Zero bottom 5 when Tom brady consistently top 8s with him? Denzel Terry has done quite well with him, too ... I just dont understand.

 

[REYTHEGREAT]

I don't think sub is that low. I think is baraka, sheeva, jade, Stryker and Sind . In no particular order

They're really good players.

 

[AK L0rdoftheFLY]

Nw can beat all top tiers except kabal and Freddy.

His worst matchups are 6-4 an that's not that bad. Nw has huge comeback factor with LT. Not even close to bottom 5

 

[Pig Of The Hut]

Wow I gotta tell u guys between this list currently on OP and Dave's top 5 we can EASILY see a complete list coming

WOW....its starting to look legit lol

because denzel is extremely smart and skilled

I dont know how many times i have to post this

THIS DOES NOT MEAN THESE CHARACTERS ARENT TOURNAMENT VIABLE

lol - this is a STRONG testament how balanced the game is minus jax, smoke and cryax BS

 

[TheChad_87]

They're really good players.

True. But really good players are playing Sindel, too ... I dunno. I just can't see him being that low. I actually think he's one of the better characters in the game. And for more reasons than just because of tournament placing. He seems to have lots of good match-ups and Ice Clone is just brutal as anti-rushdown. Was it the power shift in zoning that makes people put him so low now?

 

[xenogorgeous]

Nightwolf and Johnny Cage mentions in this list = nonsense
Both are pretty decent against the rest of roster, I see none reason for them to be in any Bottom 5 list .....

This will INSTANTLY change after you and Mr Mileena attend another Major

I cannot wait

I, for one, have been saying Sub gets blown up by the zoners like Kitana since release. That's what Tom and I have always argued about. I never thought Sub that was good. Which ironically means I was always praising him by implication since he was a consistent placer with him.
