Oh my bad. I definitely agree not every character needs to be dependent on mixups.

OH no, definitely not what I also meant. I don't think kitana needs mixups (would be welcome).
All the top tier characters have great mix up options, which is why Kitana is not top 8.
I play Kitana/Mavado and you literally can't jump anywhere on the screen without taking 30% damage.. Yeah maybe at Ninjakilla's level she is mid tier but that's like the top 10% of mk players.. I like where she is, I don't want her to be broken.
Exactly. Which is why I think, that she needs to get some new special moves.
I always like discussing tier lists, thank you for posting. I'm curious as to why you think Kenshi is still so high? Is he better than Homelander, in your opinion?
I don't disagree with Reiko's placement at all. Although I am curious why y'all placed him there. I'd definitely like to see what you came up with.
I like this tierlist because reptile is in the invisible tier

Kenshi has access to the most oppressive set play in the game. If you watch players like Red Nose or Mari play, they can win rounds from one interaction.
Reiko is neither the best rush down character, nor the worst... neither the best footsies character, nor the worst... neither the best zoning character, nor the worst...
Reptile's invisibility is finally great...
Reiko could use a new special for sure and some of his strings/buttons tweaked/re-worked. I'm not suggesting anything outlandish, mind you. I just wish that he had more variety. With the way his strings currently are, they don't allow for it. Then you factor in his awful gravity on combos and it limits you even further. I can't think of a single other character in the game that has the gravity scaling he does.Explanations may be provided in a future video on King or King Jr.'s YouTube channel.
Generally speaking, Mortal Kombat 1 revolves around offense, damage, and footsies. Defense, namely d+1 and armor, is important as well. Zoning is a factor, albeit the least relevant one out of the aforementioned categories.
I also consider tournament results, and players like Dyloch and BWood consistently place top 8 with Shao Kahn, which is why I rank the character very high. Obviously, he has certain weaknesses in footsies and at ranges beyond footsies. He is susceptible to "low poke mashing" and turtling/zoning, particularly when he does not have the life lead.

Kenshi is susceptible to turtling/zoning, but only in a select few match ups.
Although I despise fighting him, I do acknowledge the fact that he requires significantly more skill and execution to play than the average Mortal Kombat 1 character.
Unlike Kenshi who has to set up the "Sento sandwich" in order to create his winning condition, pre-patch Homelander mixed you up just by being close to you. Now that f+4 hits mid, he has to take more risks with throws and command throws. Nonetheless, he remains high tier because of mix ups, footsies, and mobility options on the ground and air.

He is a solid, mid-tier character who excels in no particular category yet also underperforms in none.
He has certainly been power crept by the most recent DLC characters as well as by the massively buffed characters like Havik and Nitara.
I used to use Reiko. I disliked fighting against the top tier characters and I still do.
He could benefit from a new special move using the spear...
NRS... hello?
The animations are already in Invasions.
Reptile's invisibility is finally great...
Added to C tier.
If they buff Kitana and it's in the wrong way, we'll have ourselves an MKX situation all over again. The character is fine.
King Jr. does not think highly of Geras, even after the buffs. He thinks Geras is low tier. LOL.
I agree, I think she is perfect
Ah, nice, always fun to have one of these to talk about. What stands out the most to me is how surprisingly low Sub and Tanya are. Both are top 15 characters, imo. Sub for instance only has a handful of losing MUs if you use a Slide focused game plan (i.e. Kameos like Scorpion, Sonya, or Cyrax). Here's a recent MU video if anyone wants a quick visual by jumping to the end:
Sub Zero is probably my worst match-up. I will choose a Nitara/Ferra ANYDAY over a Sub/any kameo.. I d9nt think he is broke or anything but he definately gets downplayed
I enjoyed listening to your match up video as well as watching your sets against top players.
Are this in order?
It says in the post that it's in alphabetical order.
He is still top 6 at the very least, if he uses Ferra. Still pretty decent with Jax and Janet as well. Not sure about him with other kameos like Khameleon though.
