No, bro. I use low tiers cause I like to option select when I lose. I lost? I'm using a low tier, bitch. I won? Counts as two wins 'cause I'm using a low tier! Winning a major isn't my dream. My dream is to maybe make top 8 once in a while or get a game or two off a top player using a lame and corny "high tier" character. BTW, who do you guys think is the worst character in the game now? Kano or Sheeva? I need a new main and am thinking Stryker may be too high for my tastes right now. I want to use the worst character in the game while I finish reading their awesome bio on MK wiki.com! Does anyone make sigs?
Kano is definitely the worst character.

Sub Zero, CSZ, Nightwolf, Sindel, Stryker

C
Kano, Noob Saibot, Scorpion, Sheeva, Baraka, Jade

IMO, this is the most accurate tier list so far. very hard to argue with. the biggest problem is that you have ppl that play certain characters like smoke, jax, freddy, etc who refuse to admit that they play a character in the top 5-8. Its like they feel like its an insult to say you win with a top character.
The only one I disagree with is SZ. I think he should be A tier. But hey, you play him, I don't. I too believe this to be the most accurate so far. Like I said, I would just bump SZ into A tier.

Seriously, great list man. This has got to be the best I've seen so far.

Yea, you got it wrong. Not everyone plays low tier characters because it's "cool and different." Not everyone is a hipster. You can't sit here and say, "I hate Kabal, but I play him strictly because I wanna win." I'm thinking you like Kabal and he turned out being pretty good? Some people don't have such luck.

Who blows people up for winning when they win with their low tier characters? LOL.


I personally play who I play cause I like them and not for bragging rights, excuses for losing etc. you can lose with Kabal, Sonya, and Kenshi too.

Tom, I would appreciate it if you would stop going around and calling this the " CD jr and REO v1.05 patch" and saying we only win because NRS leaves our super characters and nerfs yours to other players behind our backs. We would body your Sub-Zero in the first patch (or any other) just like we do now.

Thank you.
Did our beloved tom brady really said this? do you have proof of this?
Should we challenge him on vanilla mk and gain back our status of top players?
Damn you Tom brady, we still love you!!!

My quest to annihilate the dash monsters is becoming harder and harder for me due to the fact that they are finding new ways to hurt the defender of America the all mighty JAX.If i am to lose to one of these dash monters in two tournaments straight i wont have a choice but to step down as the protector of america and join the dark side.May god have mercy on all your souls if i main kabal.#yolo #wgii

Go to hell.
The Dominican brothers either talk like Shakespearians, or don't talk at all.

And Jax is the protector of the land called Trollsylvania. That dirt-stache coupled with the ass one liners, all the armor, is trolling at it's finest.

I will just make a tier list where I put 10 chars high, mid, and low so it is even and I guess simpler, in no order:
High- kabal, Kenshi, Lao, cage, smoke, sektor, Cyrax, reptile, jax, kitana
Mid- subzero, scorpion, noob, Freddy, Liu kang, quan chi, skarlet, rain, raiden
Low- jade, Kano, Baraka, sheeva, jade, CSz, sindel, nw, Stryker, Shang stung

EX smash solves all
i dont think kabal needs his own tier. just give him the first stop on A/S tier. supposedly mileena has very .little mad MU's, how come she is mid-tier to most?

LOL.. no.. i didnt say anything about cdjr and reo patch.

I'll say this, there are characters who are actually THAT good, and characters who seem better they they really are because the MU's that give them problems either arent common or the ppl that use those characters arent using them to the fullest yet.

JAX is a character i'm on the fence with. I think he is top 6-7 but while I think he has all the tools to not struggle in any MU, I can also see certain MUs where he could potentially struggle but the character isnt common or he players dont use them right yet. cdjr being the top JAX player probably knows JAX's weaknesses and the stuff he hates to deal with better then anyone, which is why he sees more bad MUs and issues with JAX then someone like me does.

Kenshi i am also on the fence with. OBVIOUSLY a sub-zero player, kitana, players, etc would see him as S+ lol but is he really? I can see several characters giving him a pretty hard time.

I'm starting to come around to REO's train of thought where Kabal is th eonly S+ in MK9,


PS: Maxter ... i love you too lol..

That'd actually explain a lot.

Lol at Shang "stung" being low tier. I think you know better than this.
