What is Your Opinion on Sindel "Star Screamer" Situation?

[Raider]

Many players were disappointed when Sindel was revealed and when NRS said that Sindel's signature "Star Screamer" projectile is only coming back as low projectile in one of her 3 variations. There were even petitions for it to return and many players showed their disappointment about this on social media.
My question is, why can character like Sonya with huge combo and damage potential have her energy rings, one of the best projectiles in the game, that can be amplified and that also have a Krushing Blow tied to them as part of her base abilities, while Star Screamer, Sinde's signature projectile was removed from her base abilities and was only made available as low projectile in one of her 3 variations? I would much rather have her projectile than levitation that was also made to be almost completely useless in MK11. I feel like NRS really dropped the ball here.

How is her levitation useless?

 

[BarakaTile]

If you gave her Enhanced Regal Presence with Star Screamer you could make something but you would have to remove the troll orb or the Launcher

She has some of the most diverse tool sets in the entire game... boo hoo?

She does have pretty good damage and can do other things well to be fair, but honestly NRS are biased af in this game when making characters. Not sure or perhaps both. I mean I asked myself the same question regarding Scorpion, Noob, Cetrion, Raiden etc regarding their teleports. Notice, with Raiden they give him his teleport in ONE variation. But have no quarrels giving Scorpion his precious teleport in ALL 3 variations(can't imagine why) with all the tools, multiple KB's in combos and all and a teleport of course that doesn't just teleport but one that attacks and can be cancelled no less....

At the rate they're going I have a feeling Fujin will either be uber OP or suck ass, no grey area at this point. He's going to be Joker or Terminator....

And I'm assuming Terminator is the bad one and Joker is the good one?

terminator doesn’t really suck tho maybe just got some matchups that aren’t ideal

You're right he doesn't suck suck but he's definitely lower in the game and weaker compared to Sindel, Joker etc. Terminator is very clunky and honestly a lot easier to fight imo compared to the other DLC so far in this game.

And I'm assuming Terminator is the bad one and Joker is the good one?

Yeah, compared to Joker and Sindel, T800 is a breeze to fight.

I think ur just saying that cuz anyone that was good dropped him awhile ago for better chars. I actually was playing the variation with the grenades when I played a lot but now that jokers out for sure I woulda swapped to just playing the joker with the setups and what not.

 

[John_NX]

She's one of the many victims of the rushed, no sense, variation system.

 

[Ramichaura1]

The better question is why Scorpion has to meter burn his spear to get a combo while sub zero ice ball, kunt lao spin, kitana fan tornado all meterless

I would say that the iceball is the only comparable one as it's also a projectile but none of those characters have the best teleport in the game which Scorp does.

I've seen scorpion literally get 3 spears in one combos stagger set ups. The meter on his amped spear doesn't hurt him at all.

Well, to be fair you kind of partially answered your own question or point man lol. "Because everyone dropped him for better characters" exactly lol. Good characters don't just get dropped man at least in this game, that's not to say t800 can't be dangerous I've played solid terminators I thin I lost a set to 1 legit since he been out all the others I've managed. He's good but only up close his shorty you can see coming a mile away, it's slow, he can be zoned out pretty easily.

His back move can get easily punished if you have a fast special that reaches mid to far such as raiders superman, Liu kang's kick, cage or jades kick, kitana butty slam, etc etc

I found his variation with the leap gave me the most trouble, I forget if that's the one with the grenades or not but I hardly got that one. Isn't that his 3rd one? But yeah sindel, joker and spawn killed him in popularity. Spawn will once he's out I'm sure half the world will be on spawns balls. Let's be honest here lol
