Bottom 5 Character Project

[Pig Of The Hut]

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 .....

But if u think about it like this it works

Start from the top and go to the bottom and think of tier list

then go to top 5 lists and you can see both of them merging in a very reasonable way

Thats about where he should be 15th from bottom

we'll see how this goes - there is a master plan in the works about this thread

 

[xenogorgeous]

Mr Mileena is pretty good with all MK9 girls he picks to play .... he is very good with Kitana and Mileena, and if , btw, one day he might try/choose to main Sonya and Skarlet, I guess he can do pretty well ....

I'm aware he is in the lab testing and training with Sindel, so, I think he will be able to show a good gameplay in FR, and this will help to clear some people minds, hehe

Im very surprised Sub Zero is getting in on a lot of peoples top 5 worst list... to me, hes A tier!

My friend plays a sick Sub Zero, so I never really played a bad one, and he seems to always have answers to situations I put him in.

Jade/Baraka/Stryker/Sheeva/Sindel

 

[TheChad_87]

I see ... I don't think SubZ is GREAT by any stretch, but I definitely think he's better than quite a few characters. Ermac, Cyber SubZ, Noob, Nightwolf, and the bottom 5 I listed. But that's only 9 characters, so I guess now I can see why someone else may have him lower.

 

[Roko1985]

#1 in my list being the worst

I don't agree about Kano(nobody uses upball randomly) and he kan make you guess with the airthrow advantage .And Jade.......she is great. Not top tier, but no way bottom tier. Just some good player have to pick her and rise her. Maybe in the future that will happen. Those are mine bottom 5:
1.Kratos
2.Stryker
3.Noob Saibot
4.Sheeva
5.Sub Zero

Jade
Sheeva
Stryker
Noob
Quan Chi

I'm biased about Sindel because I've seen the stupid shit Mr.Mileena can do with her, I don't think she's nearly as limited as the rest of these characters. Baraka isn't as limited either imo.

What about Mr.Mileenas stupid Sindel shit? What have you seen him doing...........kind of interesting.

Bottom 5...hmmm. Keep in mind guys, this is totally my opinion...I'm open minded and really nice/sweet!

1. Jade (Krazie, Arkayne, and Birdsongs have superb Jades...however I just think she is confused/lost soul. It's like NRS didn't really know how to make her...idk. I've tried maining her and I just felt her to be very clunky)
2. Stryker (his roll doesn't scare me in the slightest...he's like a 3 trick pony)
3. Baraka (I've played some very good Baraka's however I think he's very easy to adapt to)
4. Sub-Zero (He has some good tools but he's very predictable...players who "hide" behind clones all day are easy to dismantle...*cue my Sindel* I never struggle against SZ when I play as Sindel)
5. Sheeva (She is one of my mains so I know how devastating and underestimated she is...HOWEVER...it can be very difficult to condition opponents to duck, which is where is most devastating grab lies, and it can be very easy to become overwhelmed by fast characters)

Also keep in mind, although I put a list together of my opinion, I'm one of those players who thinks tier lists are SOMEWHAT silly considering the true talent lies in the player holding the controller. I think a really patient, talented, creative person could make top 8 at a major with any of the characters I've mentioned here.

 

[REYTHEGREAT]

people are definitely underestimating sheeva

PL did almost got beat by a sheeva player

 

[GNG Iniquity]

PL did almost got beat by a sheeva player

Doesn't surprise me, but in all honesty, Sheeva is seen so rarely and most people don't really care to familiarize themselves with her due to her known tier placement. I don't know Sheeva, I lose to her sometimes, it's my fault for not familiarizing myself with her but eh...if Sheeva starts placing top 16 people likely will start doing so but as it stands I don't think anyone really feels the need to put the time into learning her strings.

I just dont understand how CSZ has so many votes as bottom 5, And im not just saying this because i main him, i know his weaknesses and am far from prideful about the character. But CSZ has the TOOLS to fight most characters, although they are limited, they are great tools at that. He has massive mobility and heavy damage meterless combos, which put you back into a guessing situation.

When it comes to sindel, i put her on my list because i have fought alot of sindel (which is a bad matchup for csz) and have tinkered with the character myself, she requires kabal like execution to get shitty damage and mixup oppourtunity. Now i can see that she is a good character, but unfortunately she has to make it on my bottom 5 list.
Shes just not a top 5 character, all characters are good to me in this game but unfortunately shes at the bottom of the llist for me..

 

[RunwayMafia]

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

I cannot wait

I love you. Mr. Mileena and I have traded wins NUMEROUS times with both our Kitana's and Sindel's; however I give him the slight edge when it comes to OUR Sindels. He is golden with her Levitate Cancels (where as I am not and I kind of find them pointless) and he is more patient than I am.

I have Final Round in my radar and I've promised to play as Sindel all the way through unless I play a Mileena...so please don't be in my pool!!!

 

[rev0lver]

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?

So then all characters are bottom 5, it's just the player.

What people are missing is that Sindel has amazing tools that haven't been used much in tournament settings, but they will be soon. Everyone who's witnessed it pretty much agrees.

 

[TakeAChance]

To all of you who picked Jade as the worst character...I want to fight you all.

 

[xxteefxx]

this list shows a lot of things! ...this list prove to me that some people are Really not aware YET of the characters capabilities. As well that this list shows that there are a lot of characters YET un discovered by the majority, and tournaments of course.

people mentioning Kratos as Bottom tier, and sindel as BOTTOM tier, and Quanchi.....SPECIFICALLY Quan chi....and rain.
and then whats destroy everything in my heart that people come back and say " HOW are those chars bottom tier? this person place high in a major...yada yada yaah...etc"

people think bottom tier in this game is like, SHIT TIER. will guess wut? the tier list will only hit C grade MAX as bottom tier.....i am not joking. it's S, A, B, and C only in my opinion. WORST case scenario a C - after C
literally every char in the game is viable for tournament play depending on the match up (specifically tournament use)....so dont feel like the bottom tier means garbage tier! cause it doesnt.
of course this is in comparison to other fighting games... like some fighting games had characters were they were literally GARBAGE...the last i've played was like SS4 hakan before AE comes out...and ofcourse the famous joker character in most of capcom's fighting game, DAN.

my list for now as the least threat characters will be (due to their nature that they have lots of bad matchups and fifty fifties)

-Sheeva
-Baraka
-Stryker
-Jade
-Noob

Noob best this list followed by Jade and sheeva in my opinion.

id just like to say to people i have played recently that if you dont see me doing this with sindel

it means that im practicing and trying to learn her upclose rush down game.. its not just one person in this thread its a bunch of them. im taking notice.

i have played both Mr. Mileenas and @runwaymafias sindels and both have inspired me to incorporate her rush down game with my zoning..


i have in the past thought sindel to be low tier, but i was wrong. when you combine what both Mr. Mileena and myself do best you get a hardcore tough character.. both of us have been putting our heads together and sharing what we do and why..

anyone want to challenge me to a first to ten at Winter brawl me playing as sindel lets do it!!

anyone want to play games online on PSN as well lets do it. Pig Of The Hut id really like to play vs you again we havent played in a long while.. kano is no way low tier..

 

[xxteefxx]

So then all characters are bottom 5, it's just the player.
.

Not exactly, but for the essence of the content! then Yes. this game Strongly have such structure. same for other fighting games but in here it's more visible than others.

Dan, remember the days when scream would never connect with 2, or B3 F2? Pre patch Sindel was def. useless. If a standing 4 could cancel into a special...Sindel would be top 4. True story!

 

[Reedoms]

Honestly, the only character that I don't see tournament viable is Stryker. I guess thats because I've never actually played one that has amazed me. The rest all have the means to do it.

 

[NRF CharlieMurphy]

already people are taking this as a personal attack. It isn't. I will always stand by the player makes the character. regardless of tier and advantage. Good players turn 6-4's in to even matches. There are only like 5-6 matches that would be on the verge of unwinnable? Would we all agree to that?

 

[16 Bit]

Sindel players have gone from being pissed she's bad to pissed everyone considers her bad.

I couldn't agree more. I think in fighting games it's basic human nature to rank characters considering they are all unique and some moves seem more "special" than others but let's just be real here people...a smart, quick thinking, talented person could take a character like Stryker or Jade or Baraka and really tear up people.

 

[Armageddon]

1. Jade
2. Stryker
3. Human Sub-Zero
4. Nightwolf
5. Cyber Sub-Zero and Shang Tsung (Tied for 5th worst in my opinion. Bring the hate!)

 

[CJKRattlehead]

1. Jade
2. Stryker
3. Nightwolf
4. Sindel
5. Sheeva
