[Death]

[Pig Of The Hut]

Most of them.

emp scar?

 

[Squeaker101]

All my mains are in A+.

I guess I am a tier whore.

 

[AK L0rdoftheFLY]

I main everyone in A+.

I guess I am a tier whore.

no your smart

 

[SaJa]

I really think Sonya > Skarlet.
My top 5 : kabal, KL, cyrax, kenshi, sonya. But I admit there are not that much Sonya in europ.

BOOooo

 

[Evil_Riu48]

help us out

where would you put her?

here is where i place her
S tier
sonya, freddy, kitana, cage, cyrax , kenshi, kung lao

 

[DeathTouch]

Cage has more holes to interrupt and stop pressure

f32 interrupted by ex cartwheel is far worse than interrupting by ex nut punch

betterprojectile

MS as a whole

d4 ms in particular

far more damage

builds meter quicker

4 frame instant air dive kick counter poke that leads to 40% reset (blake is only one who can do this...see his match vs tyrant) He counter pokes when he knows im at - on poke w 40% combo...thats some omega dizzy shit

Cage is slower than sonya as well as not as mobile

he has no zoning options or major comeback factor the way she does

Sonya is a bitch. Great post Pig

I think Liu Kang has been played to his fullest potential. All his max damage combos have been figured out, and a lot of his strings are useless (for example 12b1.) What else do top Liu Kang players do besides b312 and f3 mixup, EX low fireball, 2 anti-air, and combos? lol. There is nothing more to be figured out with Liu Kang and nothing more really that can be done that nobody else does

I'd say solid IAFB zoning, kinda like what Shory does. It adds a whole different layer to Liu Kang's game.

Your not bringing her down... You're just elevating other characters

 

[Evil_Riu48]

i do think she is S tier but i dissagree with she been 3rd best character in the game

 

[Zoidberg747]

....not even going to comment.

Sonya's dk is not 4 frames, its 10 frames minimum. Somberness confirmed this. Its a 4 frame move if jumping is not taken into consideration.

He is saying Freddy Kitana Cage Cyrax Kenshi Kung Lao are all above Sonya

Omfg Pig, those pictures after I posted are hilarious.

A bit late to the party, but I definitely feel the need to address one post specifically:

I do not believe this. People have said at several points throughout the course of the game that Cage was figured out and there will never be anything new with Cage. I never believed them and it couldn't have been further from the truth.

Maybe the gimmick well will start to run dry for Liu Kang, but there is no way he is "at his full potential". No one so far is playing any character so far in MK9 at their fullest potential. That is why tier lists change. Not just because of "flavor of the month" but people actually showcase previously untapped potential for their characters.

 

[bipolar_shango]

was thinking about that too but then i remembered

- good zoning

- DAT ARMOR

- Gets 50/50 of a d4 etc

50/50 that leads to what? 9-15%. No Sonya is not top 3 because anything she has that leads to proper damage ranges from barely safe to Super-punishable.

Liu Kang has really good normals not even Liu Kang players bothered to master. This character is definitely better than given credit for.

I know, b1 low fireball is a sick anti-air combo and you can't break.

 

[Juggs]

I said Liu Kang was underrated since 2011, search the forums. However, he does have big problems versus zoning characters. So I'd say he's a very good counter-pick tournament character, but can't really survive on his own.

You get 15% off a poke and you complain?

Sonya is top 3 for sure, gtfo.

Edit: EX cartwheel would love a word with you.

 

[Lt. Boxy Angelman]

its second to skarlet

To me, her blockstrings, frametraps and setups are more enticing that maxing damage.
If I get a good loop going, that's awesome, but I play her more like a Quan and try and force mistakes and get inside their head.
But then again, the same could be said of Rain and those who play him like a CD Jr and do the same.

Same thing is said about Cage.

 

[Euphoric]

Same thing is said about Cage.

But wasn't this said before Frame Data? Didn't Cage like become good after people looked at his Data and realized the stuff he could do.

Or was it combos that opened him up...

People realizing there is more to the game then combos and frame data.
