Who are your Top 10?

Nobody had any qualms about Cage being top 10 circa-Evo, seems the discovery/removal of dirt (in Cage's case, F3,2 2-in-1ing in specials) is a bigger concern for the community than their own fundamentals and the game's overall nuances. No wonder the Jade and Sub-Zero forums aren't showing any progression, they're still falling back on theory fighter.:coffee:
I miss the days of F32 into nutpunch. 20% with a reset if it hits, pseudoinfinite with d1 after if F32 is blocked... Damn.

What is going on guys, Ya Boi Zyphox here.
the thing about cage is you have to work hard against GOOD zoners, play footsie and one mistake and you run the gauntlet, that and once your in its not lock down city in high level play so you will have to go back in more often than the opponent has to worry about your "frame traps" lol reptile has more moves that give advantage than johnny C, but still people bitch about johnny C, its okay johnny C like that, thats how johnny C DO!!!

For me personally, I feel that the top 3 are defined while afterwords they are in no particular order.

1- Sonya
2- Smoke
3- Kabal
----
Cage
Kitana
Freddy
Kenshi
Jax
Cyrax
Kung Lao
----
And around this point there are so many other characters that could take Cyrax's or Kung Lao's spot in my opinion.
Ermac (imo at the moment the most underrated character)
Sektor
Mileena
Reptile
Raiden
Rain
Sub Zero
Noob
----
The tournament viable line is probably drawn here.

Im not seing Reptile in many Top 10 lists.
Any reason why? Im curious.
His situation is a bit similar to Sub-Zero. He started out as godlike in MK9's earlier days, then the metagame changed and he became less of a threat. Granted there's still excellent Reptile players out there (such as Joker8417 and TylerLantern to name a few), but his options appear to be substandard compared to the rest of the cast.

...and I've never mained Reptile, so I could be wrong. Feel free to blow me up for ignorance if I am.

Nah you're just about on the nose to be honest Blake, the only thing I will say about it is that he is just an easy character to figure out, so in order to play at a high level with him you have to keep changing things up. He has options for just about every situation, and I feel like he is a top 10 character still (if played correctly), but I could be biased.

Top 10 chars in my opinion.
Jax
Kabal
Cyrax
Kung Lao
Kenshi
Kitana
Smoke
Subzero
Cage
Sonya / Liu kang

@SZ vs Liu
That mtchup in my opinion is very hard... considering the corner game is really overwhelming...Both players take considerable amount of risk.. therefore this match is all about reads, spacing and patience.. Since Denzel is probably the best SZ i have played yet.

I love all you people showing Sub Zero love. Makes me feel vindicated, and like all my effort to level him up is being put into a good place.

I've played LionHeart enough to know that Sub Zero is a very good character. He might have some really bad matchups that keep him out of the top 10, but he is still capable of winning a major or at least placing top 8 consistently. Tom Brady has already shown that, so it's hard to say that Sub Zero is really that bad. If a good Sub Zero puts you in the corner, you might as well drop the controller. Sub also can dictate how the match is, if he trades iceball with someone and can land a slide or combo then he forces the opponent to get close which Sub can ice clone. If they choose to zone, then he has the EX slide to punish with.
