DoDaMusic: Depends, I mean in terms of life? No it means nothing. In terms of skill level of the game, yeah it means the person using the lower tier has a harder job to do since the odds are stacked against them so if for instance there's a serious match or tourney match whatever, and one person is bragging while using one of the most OP characters in the FG vs the other guy who go there using one of the lowest or a lower mid etc, I would personally give more props to the latter player because let's face it be it tourneys or KL whatever, if someone wants to win they don't want to use a lower character or can't be bothered because they know their chances are slim and it's actually a lot more work to put in to win with that character. MK 11 isn't that balanced, there's certain characters like Geras way OP, KB's and FB's are broken and unbalanced, loads of people have said this, Breakaways suck and punish the person doing them half the time which is beyond stupid, wake ups suck except for delay and sometimes U3. MK 9's were much better as you actually had to respect them and not just be braindead with smothering people, the game has horribly inconsistent hitboxes, I can go on why MK 11 is not a very balanced, fun game. Dude do you know how hard it is for a Shao Kahn or Raiden player or Kollector to beat someone like Cetrion, Geras or Johnny? lol I want to see you use them in KL vs those characters then you'd understand where I'm coming from as oppose to your success with Geras facing them. There's a few great Sheeva players in MK 9 who competed and beat Cyrax and kabals, forget his name but he was one of the best Sheeva players in the game. I'm not saying it wasn't an uphill battle in MK 9 your example but using Jade, Raiden, Kollector etc vs Geras, Scorpion, Jax, Jacqui etc is no different if not worse actually in MK 11.
Also you cant discuss that this game isn’t more balanced than mk9 lmfao, mk11 doesn’t have any 9-1 or 8-2 mus like mk9, and have very few 7-3s as well, that speaks balanced to me.
The game isn't even out a year and tier lists change, to me there's more to balance than just character match ups there's gameplay elements in which MK 9's worked much better as I mentioned earlier compared to MK 11's that are glitchy, inconsistent and broken. So if you want to talk "character balance" maybe MK 11 is better but overall game balance with better options, yeah MK 9 is better as far as I'm concerned I don't really care who disagrees or not. You can't tell me KB's, FB's, characters being super safe vs others who have unsafe strings, moves etc is "balanced" I'd still take MK 9's flaws any day over MK 11's because the gameplay elements, tools we got actually worked. In terms of match ups like I said regardless of tier charts which is debatable btw, I've seen more people use characters like Sheeva vs Cyrax which in this game would be equivalent of someone like Kollector vs. Geras or Jacqui. Ha, good luck with that match up.
Jade has never won a major, not sure what you're talking about. Link?
Yeah but you said I said that you suck lol, I never said that. I said I bet most Geras players suck or let's just say won't be nearly as competitive as they are when they use Geras. From my experience, those players who use Geras all do the same thing but when they don't use him get destroyed or beaten pretty badly. But again this is my experience so far on Xbox, Switch in KL or KOTH's etc, etc You have to admit, if you used Raiden, Kollector, Jade it would be a hell of a lot more challenging to win than using Geras, at least admit that much man lol.
I just find it funny I said Geras is broken and/or OP and all the Geras fanboys come out of the woodwork to defend him they must scout the entire site looking for people to make sure they don't mention baldy.
Noob is def busted, but he has one excuse Geras doesn't. They didn't actually patch/fix games in those days lol. We'll see if Geras gets toned down a bit by MK 11's end cycle.
