Where art thou, MKX Skarlet?
I think v baraka could very well be 6-4. That said I haven't played any top barakas offline that I can recall...so I dunno what to say. baraka can hit fairly hard into resets, low 30's if I'm not mistaken.

The only morality in a cruel world is chance.
this has been discussed in this thread already and I played Wemfs about 30 games last night. he can give his opinion.
I feel like Skarlet most definitely has the advantage against Noob. It's either 7-3 or 6-4, not quite sure yet. No way it's even lol. I need more games against Skarlet after I've studied her through and through to make a final decision as to whether or not it's 7-3 or 6-4.

I think 6-4, no way it could be 7-3 because the MU certainly isn't that bad. Noob can handle her pretty well like most of the cast, and to be honest I don't think anybody beats him worse than 4-6. Just me though.

I want to agree but I can't. That post is all opinion and zero facts.

Do you have any reasons? Have you ever played a skarlet? Does Kabal not beat him 7-3?

I've played a handful of Skarlets that to ME play pretty good. I also main Noob and I think that he has a very solid defensive game and a sub-par offensive one. Outside of armoring through I've rarely had a Skarlet actually get in. I think Kabal is 6-4, but maybe I haven't played the top-notch ones. She's better at hitting distance but outside of that, Noob has the tools to effectively shut her out. Armor and Noob's lack of damage make this a bad MU to me, but I don't think she shuts him down effectively enough to call it a 7-3 match-up.

At close range you have to guess on either up knee or tackle. Tackle on block ghves her pressure or a jump for huge damage (or armor for huge damage). Up knee can be wiff poked wit d3 to give her advantage as well.

I'm going to be stubborn and stick to 4-6. :( I don't get to play a lot of Skarlets and I still think I can win the poking game. Nobody thinks Noob can poke, and another thing is I can use 50/50 at all times, even in poke wars, so there's that issue. It's negative on hit but it still keeps you guessing which is something Noob can excel at. Maybe I just up-play my character.(Is that even possible?)

Sorry man, noob saibot will struggle real hard to fight against skarlet, she does shuts him down.

Skarlet gets more dangerous as her meter builds, all noobs fast projectiles have slow recovery.
Skarlet can armor trough any noobs projectiles and still f4 to a full combo punish before he recovers, even if noobs use shadow upknee to duck, f4 will just kill him.
noob has no armor on en specials, this means skarlet will pressure him all day with every kind os blockstrings, and her meter builds too fast on that particular session.
noob has very slow normals when compared to skarlet, how can't be that bad?

On poke was, skarlet wins, noob can surely poke, his normals give him the same advantage on hit that skarlet's, but his normals will not compensate for his frame advantage, unlike skarlet, noob 21 (Fastest string) can be f4'ed to counter his blocktrings

sorry man but is a 7-3 skarlet rape here
