[SunnyD]

...

Kabal's dash
Noob's upknee
Kitana's D1
Shang's soul steal
Kabal's IAGB
KL's spin
Raiden's teleport

All far better moves.

wait are we talking about tier good or coolness good? cause i was talking about coolness.

 

[Gesture Required Ahead]

Your character's really good. Deal with it.

Your character's OP'd. YOU DEAL WITH IT

 

[THTB]

Good? Yes. Good enough to be better than Scorpion or Rain? Nah son.

The problem is people STILL don't know how to deal with this character, which is strange considering people learned how to deal with Ermac and he was just as popular in the early days.

Tier-wise, not aesthetics.

I now realize the OP never specified whether or not this was tier-wise or aesthetics. Everyone has been going by tier-wise so I'm going with that, although i will do an aesthetically based list for fun

 

[SunnyD]

I see. Well i should change my answer then...

Reptile
Scorpion
Rain
Smoke
Ermac
Sub Zero
Noob Saibot

 

[iKritikal]

1. Smoke
2. Rain
3. Reptile
4. Scorpion
5. Ermac
6. Sub Zero
7. Noob

 

[SwiftTomHanks]

Maaaaaaaaaaaan...why is Reptile even considered to be second best by a lot of players? No, he's not that good lol.

You just say that because you main him. But I agree, it's not a close second. Smoke is very far ahead in first place.

 

[CJKRattlehead]

Reptile is overrated by everyone who doesn't play him and underrated by everyone who does. LOL

2. Scorpion
3. Ermac

[Faded Dreams V]

I kind of hate Rain. Regret buying him. Only DLC character I bought who I don't use.

[Killphil]

Tier wise I'll just stick with THTB's list. Although the placement of the 3-5 is so close you can just mix n' match them. As for Aesthetics

1. Ermac (The only thing missing is when they lose it needs to say "Finish THEM!" instead of "him".)
2. Scorpion (Who doesn't love to get over there?, besides the one on the receiving end of the spear.)
3. Subzero (Bi han is fucking boss)
4. Reptile (I'll stick with classic. I don't mind his dino form but I prefer the actual ninja look.)
5. Noob (If he was a complete shadow with no detail he'd be #1 easy)
6. Rain (idk...his stance is alright?)
7. Smoke (I don't like his hair, his second costume is aiight though)

 

[THTB]

You just say that because you main him. But I agree, it's not a close second. Smoke is very far ahead in first place.

If my character was indeed that good, I wouldn't sit back and say otherwise. But I can't say Reptile is better than Scorpion or Rain with at least 4 bad matchups and about 60% of the rest of those matches being even.

 

[Gesture Required Ahead]

Oh we're doing cool points now? My fav part!

1)Sub Zero -My absolute favorite character in the series.Cryomancy? CAMAAAAN
2)Ermac -We are many, you are butt scum.
3)Noob -What other video game has a character referencing an internet meme before the internet itself was mainstream?
4)Scorpion -A Ghost Rider knock-off.Still cool though I guess.
5)Reptile -Besides MK , MK2 , MK3 and MK9, who even noticed this character?
6)Smoke -Not a big fan...yay, he dissapears in a Smoke cloud.
7)Rain -I hate him.

Scorpion has way more bad match-ups than 4. The only reason why some match-ups are winnable is because of his void/vortex.

1. Reptile
2. Smoke
3. Ermac
4. Scorpion
5. Rain
6. Noob
7. Sub Zero

 

[GNG Iniquity]

1. Smoke (fuckin' Christopher Walken looking asshole!)
2. Reptile
3. Scorpion
4. Ermac
5. Rain (didn't the dash change fuck him over pretty bad?)
6. Noob
7. Sub Zero

Yup.

I can't see Scorpion having anything better than a 5/5 against everyone in the game except the extremely weak characters. Playing Scorpion is like tossing a coin 3 or 4 times and seeing what happens.

I'm not sure how everyone thinks Rain is amazing... I'll money match any Rain player at Winter Brawl with Sektor (who can't be a horrible match up for Rain).

Even though Rep/Sek is a 5/5, I fear the shit out of almost every Reptile player I come across.
