Seriously fuck you all voting ermac. Take away Mystics push them wtf is the point of the variation. You are all voting on salt. Ya bastards! Get real and vote properly or play another game.
So......you're saying a move that hits 3/4 screen, has armor, pushes fullscreen, drains opponents meter, grants full combo on trade, and is safe on block is not OP?

Sorry bro, on the PS4 :(
But thanks for the help! Guess I gotta be crispier on those armours, then maybe I'll get the player scared; he just kept doing it cause he could see I was helpless lol.
Add me on PS4 and I will help you out. PSN is Eldriken.

Most humble shit talker ever!!!
JC is top 7 for me or possibly top 6

But I don't know why people are getting defensive for having him in their top 5 it's not unreasonable and very well could be

He does need some adjustments so he doesn't take over top 3 spots for going untouched

That's my take

I think the whole community could at least agree to getting rid of whiff cancels

Your hole is mine!
I was late to the MKX party I've only had it for like 2 weeks or so. Zoning in this game is definitely toned down from MK9 in most cases, though I would say Full Auto and Pretty Lady zoning are specifically hard, on par with MK9 Zoning.
I'll feel sorry for you when you play a good Summoner Quan. Best zoning in the game along with maybe HQT Pred and Mileena.

This man cranks out damage like a Mexican popping out babies.
that's true but in that state of the game ruthless is not top 5. these character are better without a doubt: acidic alien, tarkatan alien, demo sonya, cutthroat kano, swarm queen dvorah, shirai ryu takeda, ronin takeda, piercing mileena, a-list johnny cage. not saying ruthless is bad but how in the world do you see them being better than any of these lol.

Safe 50/50s (yes I know the low is -7 but most of the cast isn't punishing that and you can also cancel) INSANE damage MIDSCREEN, cancels and armor on pain and gain. From what I understand F/T only weakness was being zoned but they took that weakness away with the ex low ferra toss (idk the name for it lol) lackey is good too from what I understand with safe wakeups and good damage as well with even a 6f d1. I will admit from what I've seen represented and in practice when I've just dabbled around with the character Viscious needs buffs though lol. Seems like a useless variation tbh. But you're the F/T player so you tell me
the ex low toss hasn't changed shit against his ability to counter zone better, the tosses have absorbed projectiles since launch but it's still a weakness. mileena,hqt or ff lui for example can zone them out for days still. it helps against characters with moderate zoning tools though.

however it's not their only weakness. their biggest weaknesses are characters with good air game and characters who can dominate in the neutral. slow walk and run speed, big hitbox and not having an advancing mid makes it hard against long range attack characters (alien, takeda)and those who have great neutral range tools(shinnok, mystic ermac).

@Doombawkz can tell you everything about lackey not being that good as you think lol

vicious isn't exactly weak but there is just no reason to use this variation when you can play ruthless and have the exactly same character with better tools.

I really hope ruhtless get's nerfed. not because they deserve it but because too many people still think there broken while characters like piercing mileena, demo sonya or alien are in this game. remember when people said after march 1st how ft now will dominate top 8s? lol

I don't see how he could be better than Alien, Sonya, Kano, or Mileena at all. Or even Takeda and D'Vorah. I think he is about as good as Ermac so 6 or 7 is definitely appropriate.

Honestly I do think Alien, Sonya, and Mileena are top 3.

That being said, the case could be made for D'Vorah, Takeda, Johnny, Ermac, and Kano depending on who you ask.

I do think it's a safe assumption that they are certainly the current top 8 though. I do feel Jason deserves an honorable mention, but that's just me.

I think you can also throw shinnok in there

I agree except I'd put Kano as better than Mileena but that's just me I guess. I agree that those characters are for sure the top 8 though. The 9 and 10 spots can be fought over between Jason, Jax, Jacqui, Shinnok, Kung Jin, Liu Kang, Kotal Kahn or even Ferra/Torr and Tremor.

War God I don't think is top 5 but fine some part of the community apparently doesn't understand the mu or how dumb these other characters are lol but you're complaining about SUN GOD?? Bruh. Sorry but at this point I honestly believe you don't play this game
I mean come on man! Tick throws op op!...wait, Option Select, what's that? oh...his tick throws are meaningless?...feelsbadman.

Never said he was Top 5. Just said he needs to be toned down. No reason why this character should be getting 50%+ with one bar.

Nothing makes him OP. Just a bunch of crying scrubs who say nerf for something they can't deal with.
Why are you so angry? Lol. That downplay though. The push drains meter, gives him health, it's armored, it's safe, it has push back. It's 3/4 screen. On trade you get a combo and currently there's the bug where you keep getting health back depending on the trade timing. It's also a mid you can't jump over and it comes out in 9 frames and has a lot of hit advantage. What doesn't this move do? Lol I don't think he's top 5 but it needs to be toned down a little. I'm sure it will too

they don't if they don't have 1 png already setup before or getting a punish from a s4 but I get your point, I don't think they need the damage at all. pre patch 42% for a bar midscreen was good enough
