Strategy Lets nail down the definitive top 10. (A Community Project)

This one's for you
I don't mean to derail this thread but who ARE the supposed 3-7 MUs of Reptile? From what I heard, people think Kabal and Kenshi don't dominate Reptile (4-6's) but guys like Sonya and Cage are nightmares. I haven't touched Reptile in MK9 at all but you guys have such a dated MU chart it's hard to keep up with where the Reptile community sits right now.
I agree lol. Sonya is probably the only one who could be 3-7 but I think there's definitely ways to overcome that matchup. Other matchups that have been said to potentially be 4-6 are Cyrax, Kung Lao, Liu Kang, Kabal, Freddy, Cage, and Skarlet. Mileena & Smoke used to seen as slightly difficult but are generally agreed to be even now.

It is funny how the Smoke Reptile MU seems slightly difficult for both sides of the MU. I think it's a solid 5-5 but it is really annoying.

IMO, they both take away a big part of eachothers game. Smoke neutralizes Rep's zoning, but Reptard takes away Smoke and a Pancakes run away ga,e/

To be honest, Sektor, Liu Kang, Reptile and Raiden are pretty close behind this bunch.

Is this your final answer?
I feel like im on Who wants to be a Millionaire.

Yes, I feel that all the DLC are exceptional in this game. People keep hammering home about Cyrax (the damage man, THE DAMAGE) and ignore the fact that Cyrax also has amazing tools. His rushdown is brutal in this game as well. Well, Rain can take half your life and drain your armour (to prevent a breaker) with one 4rh. He has arguably the second best armour in the game after Kabal and Skarlet. I think Rain is really underrated.

why is cage so low on the tier list? he has 3 bad matchups, no? 2 3-7s and a possible 4-6... according to reo's post, he has sonya in top 5 w/ 2 3-7s, obviously being kabal and kenshi and a 4-6 which would be freddy... all of which cage shares. imo, cage is 6 or 7.
