Top 5 imo:

1. Alien(Tarkatan and Acidic) the best neutral character in the game, along with really cheesy mixups

2. Sonya(Demolition) Demo Sonya just from being on the screen limits the shit out of your options, safe 50/50s, corner fuckery

3. Kano(Cutthroat) literally no consequences are given to Kano when an opponent guesses right on a 50/50, retarded damage, insane corner carry, insane corner game, good projectile, good armor launcher, safe armor, safe mid slash, great pokes, great mids

4. Mileena(Piercing) amazing footsies, great zoning, great anti airs, best meterless wakeup, good pokes. She has an excellent option for every situation thrown at her.

5. Takeda(SR and Ronin) excellent range, pressure, staggers in ronin, mixups, hard to blockables in SR

Still total bullshit and misses top 5 by a cunt hair: D'Vorah, Ermac, Cage

As I said, NRS goes for universal nerfs. This isn't a new thing.
I can see not wanting your character to be a one variation character, but damn man cutthroat is just... I hope they don't go universal though. They already have a LOT of one variation characters though which I hope gets changed.

Cutthroat is actually not that hard to balance without harming the other variations.

Only his specific tools should be touched, meaning his buff and his specific strings.

Cyber and commando are fine, or even need help.

Not Good Enough

I just enjoy playing Cybernetic. I'm afraid they'll nerf his low string, leave the 112 hitbox issues, and maybe screw with Upball being up safe, along with EX Kano Ball. But you know what, it is what it is.

They should just ream the shit out of ex buff.

Ex buff flowchart:
Guess right? Shit load of damage into corner splat into more bullshit

Guess wrong? You're still plus. K.

He will be top 5 material if the current top 5s get nerfed (and lets face it, they will be nerfed very hard).
But this is about the CURRENT MKXL cast. Nerfing a mid tier character because of what might happen is wrong ink. Plus you're implying that he is top ten now right now if he is part of the next 5 to move up. Which is fine, that's your opinion and I respect it, but I don't think his matchups are clean enough to even be in the top half of the cast tbh.

They can't keep patching the game forever so plans ahead have to be made. Jacqui also needs to get nerfed hard or she's becoming the next CT Kano.

This has nothing to do with Sub-Zero. You put Sub-Zero in the top 5 of the current state of the game. I was just wondering why he is better than so many other characters, maybe I'm missing something about him.
