Discussion What is YOUR character's best MU?

Ninjutsu vs Bo Rai Cho 6-4 (maybe 7-3 against DM)
Ninjutsu out ranges BRC in general and low profiles most like Bo's shit and even tho Bo has good jump attacks, ninjutsu has a plethora of AA options which can all convert for respectable dmg. Bartitsu isn't as bad against this but Bo still suffers the post evo Raiden syndrome (low profiled) and Bo has slow buttons and can be punished for the most part.

Kung Jin feels easy for ninjutsu (6-4 and maybe 5-5 against Shaolin)
Ninjutsu shuts down njp's and can punish easily against KJ's shit. Shaolin handles this a little better but can still be punished with the arc drop and wheelcart smash which is safe can still be punished. Ninjutsu out ranges KJ for the most part and locks down his options imo

mmm, maybe like....Imposter vs either one of the Cassie's or one of the F/T's
Impostor vs Cassie is not half as bad as Impostor vs Ferra/Torr, Imp vs F/T is terrrrrrrrible. At least Cassie has anti-air options and can do things like B1 through hellsparks.

For ME, personally, if I am playing scorpion....its A List. It's a nightmare. One mistake in the neutral, and he's in, which for ninj scorp can be pretty rough.

If I am playing sub, my personal worst MU is D'Vorah. It's positively obnoxious lol

I honestly find SQ D'Vorah much harder to fight against as Ninjutsu than it is against Cage. Against cage u can at least keep using d4 to prevent him from getting that pressure going and maybe keep out. D'vorah on the other hand has faster long range pokes and crap and there isn't much u can do either and D'Vorah has strong buttons and isn't as stamina reliant as it is against Cage. I've found myself being obliterated more by D'Vorah than I do against a list cage

Cage in Stunt Double isn't winning for Sub at all imo. Liu can check with low fireball at a distance. If Sub gets a life lead vs HT he had no reason not to bitch out behind a clone with nothing to fear. Kind of like her daddy Jax in that meterless options around the clone don't exist really, and metered options aren't great either.
It's not as bad as you'd think it is on paper. I think it's 6-4 sub.

What makes you think War/Blood God are Erron's best MU? Genuinely curious. Not trying to be snarky about it.

As for what I think is Kotal's best MU? I honestly have no idea. If I had to take a guess, it would probably be against Jason. Someone more knowledgeable in that regard could probably provide a more accurate answer.

@Pnut @Mr Aquaman, what are your opinions?

So many characters who body subzero yet these scrubs complain about GM the only somewhat viable variation of Subzero.

Probably Scorp, Kitana or Smoke.

Why is that? What stops him from just turtling up the entire game? I think his 6-4s are characters like Reptile, who can work their way around the clone somewhat, but I don't really see her working around it with too much efficiency.

I don't think Special Forces has any mu's better than 6-4, but from my experience she goes 6-4 with:
Bo - Similar reasons, she has good zoning.
Kotal - Again can do decent at keeping him out, and blood god can't do much about her pressure.
Tremor - I'm not really sure why but I tend to have a pretty good time against them
Sub - Arguably a good mu. It could be 5-5. Mid screen the homing missile does a good job at destroying the clone as you move in, as well in some circumstances kamikaze will hit sub past clone. But once you're in the corner with no drone, it's sub zero....
I generally believe she goes 5-5 with the majority if the cast.

Sorcerer:
Bo - Again zoning with armour, and can drain his meter stopping ex being his method in.
Cassie - Can be difficult to get in on zoning

There are probably more but they're the ones that spring to mind :)

Ex bf1 punishes clone. Df2 absorbs clone and beats out slide. Ex slide armour absorbs it but I think df2 does more. Sub zero has to respect her pressure and can only really turtle so much.

But why would Sub-Zero have any reason to slide at her? If he gets a life lead he has no reason to even approach her. Ex Bf1 does beat Klone.. But it costs meter.

Blood god you can spam sos3 and war god you can reversal low sweep and overhead smash. You can also bait war god for trying to do reversals and get a full combo punish.

I can literally pull off any gimmick I want against blood God and not worry lol.

You must not be playing the best Blood Gods then if you think you can just "spam" SoS3 or do "any gimmick". I personally think Erron's best matchup is something more like Kitana or Bo Rai Cho.
