list the reasons why she is more OP than the other top OP-rated characters?
She has a lot of tools and a lot of very good tools, but nothing broken in comparison or relative terms to characters like Alien, Demo, Takeda, Kano and what they have.
I LITERALLY. IN THE POST YOU QUOTED! STATE THAT SHE IS NOT AS GOOD AS THE TOP 5!

It is better this way
because Mileena bodies Sub, I should ask for her to be nerfed? Sub actually bodies a lot of characters as well, he corner rapes a lot of characters. do we nerf Sub?
I pick Bone Shaper vs Mileena, or I play her with Grandmaster and accept that it's gonna be a rough ride.
from the list of OP characters mentioned, Mileena Piercing is the least OP if I were to list down the reasons for the OP-ness of these top 5 characters.
I know sub bodies a lot of characters. And that's not why Mileena should be nerfed, not because of Sub-Zero, she does that to a lot of characters. Sub-Zero has bad matchups, that's what makes him balanced. Mileena probably ONLY loses one matchup in the entire game. I dont think she's as good as Demo Sonya or Alien's two variations, or Cutthroat. She isn't broken but she does have an advantage over the rest of the cast for sure.

Hey look, logic...youre not supposed to be here this is TYM where Kotal is underrated even tho PEOPLE ARE PUTTING HIM IN THEIR FUCKING TOP 5'S!!! *clears throat* sorry, had to get that one off my chest

he's right outside of the top5 as per TM list.

stop addressing me on this topic as if i'm stupid or silly. you haven't fought TM, I have. and i'm telling you, the character is much better than a lot of folks rate him to be.

Wait so Kano is more OP than Mileena but Mileena is the third best in the game? Sir you're getting inconsistent
you asked me to pick 5, if I were to pick 6 Kano would be at #6
You asked me top5 not the five OP characters.
plus, there are different reasons why each is considered OP in their own way.

ok, so she isn't broken. you admit that.
she's like Lao from MK9, compared to Cyrax - Kenshi and Kabal was not 'broken' but had a lot of good tools to deal with a lot of characters in the game.

Nobody in this game is broken tbh. I think every character except MAYBE demo Sonya has a losing matchup.

I love how you haven't even asked me where I put kotal in the game. Because I put him like, 10th-11th which isn't THAT far from where TM puts him. You will not catch me saying he's bad, because he's not, I'm not stupid, I know he's good. Also, I don't mean to come off as thinking you have no knowledge, my temper can get the better of me sometimes and that's something I gotta deal with. I have no beef with you, I'm just tired of people up playing Kotal as if he is some godlike character. He is a solid, well rounded character. That's how he is now and that's how he'll be if he's top 5 after patch. Sorry if I have insulted you, didn't mean for bad blood man, that's my bad if that happened and I think it'd be better if we just agree to disagree and drop it.

my dear TYM member, please stop dissecting my posts wrongly. I did not list any top 5 before you asked me the question. I was merely giving an example of the other so called/labelled OP characters and I mentioned Kano as one.. so that makes Kano a top5??
and how the fuk did you turn it to a top5 discussion??? my point has gone completely missed.
i'm saying Piercing is not broken, too good with too many tools, but not broken!

I know enough and seen enough to say that if you didn't use Alien nobody would know a thing about you ... this is a very clear case of character helping the player (you) to win vs better players (e.g. brady). this is what I know.
That's irrelevant, if ifs and buts were sweets and nuts, it'd be christmas every day.

your downplaying is beyond ridiculous
Hasn't he always maintained that Alien is a top tier character and Tarkatan is it's best variation?

Ignorant slaves, how quickly you forget.
Serious question, what do you do in dmc? you beat it again and again?
Not to derail, but i'm still not done getting a full ss rank in all missions on the hardest difficulty in each game. It's pretty hard. I'm great with combos in all the games. But that ss ranking is really hard.

Mystic is an overlooked bad match for Kotal.

Do anything after B1? Option select EX push or easy lift punish. Ermac is also as fast as Kotal and Kotal has to come in on him.

It's worse than Sub Zero imo. Sub Zero just makes the match hella slow. I don't think it's as bad as Alien, Piercing or Mystic. Just my opinion though.
I agree. I was telling my friend who doesn't know the kotal mu very well (he uses mystic) that I think it might be one of war gods worst mu's. Don't forget Ermac can zone a little too because of the 3/4 screen push and the float shenanigans. It feels like everything he has counters war god

Hover + Push= Me switching to a different character for this matchup. Seriously, if Lackey isn't the worst, this might be.

Not to mention that if Kotal does get in, Mystic can still go toe to toe with him. It's a horrific match for Kotal.

AND! Ex Push on wakeup makes him 0 if you block and pushes you full screen if you don't! So it's two quite shitty situations on wakeup...so bad for kotal

No I know I'm just saying the fact that Kotal is being said to be top 5 is gross enough but if we were to look at the votes as a sort of top 10 esque thing...listen I'm babbling on, point is, fuck anyone putting Kotal in top 5, it's a stupid notion
Get ready to pull the pitchforks out boys, cuz when they nerf the top 7 or so, they gonna be gunnin for characters like Kotal who deserve no nerfs whatsoever, you mark my words. some of those on the list don't even deserve nerffs, like D,Vorah, Johnny(aside from Cancel on wiff) Just my view, that alien is dumb with that range but it looks to be NRS designed Alien with that long of strings, then we have Sonya, only thing im against is her mutiple grenade combos in corner like 5-6-7 grenade combos. Kano can be handled, yes he is annoying with the pressure and guessing, but you can armor through right after he powers up you can pay the same to save yourself, since he paid you can opt out of his pressure. to me they are strong and stupid but not really deserving of buffs, and the ones who will replace will be less deserving.


and it will look something like this:

Johnny, Reptile, Cassie, Kung Jin, Kotal and so on, and i think none of them are worth nerfing.
