Who was under represented?

supernumian

Triborg Enthusiast
Triborg (except Smoke) and Raiden.
Beside few exceptions, no one use these characters because others are better.

Play Venomous or BM and tell me they aren't trash.
BM isn't THAT bad tbh, SQ just does everything better by miles except the htb setups in the corner they're amazing in bm. Though if they would increase ex blast's hit advantage to +15 or +20 (which is fair I mean come on +8 is bullshit) this character could be amazing. Right now she only has a 50/50 starter in the corner for a bar and when you nail the 1 frame link

Should Goro be top 5?
Wait a minute. You mean there is actually a downside for Kano when he goes for a safe/plus 50/50 that can take over 60% of your life and lead into another safe/plus 50/50 which if you guess wrong you're dead?

Someone call the police!
You missed my point and exchanged it with one of your own. I`ll try again with less words; Acidic Alien beats Cutthroat Kano which is the reason he`s underrepresented at tournaments, in my opinion.
 
Gotta be ma boy Jax..Not super under represented but yeah,try and find top level footage of him beside Jupiter,Tyrant and recently Dab..Only Dab still active,Jupiter and Tyrant are long gone from the competition

That's a bit of a stretch. Plenty of good characters have tough match ups in tournament yet we see them and I'm curious why you think Acidic beats CT. Going by his tools it doesn't look like he would struggle that much.

SHOTGUN JACQUI DOING SAFE 50/50'S INTO THE 40's people forgetting about her just cus demo's doing 50% for a bar off 50/50's
Yeah but it's your turn after you block Jacqui's shit, even if she's safe.

For a lot of characters you have to guess whether Demo is gonna let the bomb sit there, let it rip, etc, after you've already blocked the initial 50/50. If you're a character that doesn't, you're most likely spending bar. Sonya also has a halfscreen jump in that jails into a 50/50, a D4 that jails into a 50/50, etc.

Jacqui has t-rex arms and it's your turn after you block her. I'd rather fight 1000 Shotguns before 1 Demo.

Then god forbid Demo has meter that she doesn't need to use. EX nades man......

Edit: P.S. I hate demo.
 

omooba

anyone who follows me on tym knows how much i complain about demo. this was just a way for me to sneak in the fact that she does 50% FOR 1 BAR into another thread:p

Before the patch hits and changes the game for a final time, this is the last chance to talk about who YOU feel flew under the radar in this patch and deserves a little more recognition. What are the most underrated variations and characters in the game?

1. Summoner Quan (all Quan for that matter) is still really good.

2. Mileena Ravenous and Ethereal are both really dumb and better than most characters best variation, it just doesn't matter because Piercing checks all the boxes by its self.

3. Crystalline Tremor is still very very good and is very much the same Tremor in a lot of ways. Flex is probably the best special in the game. Aftershock also has its uses as a surprisingly competent zoner becoming devastating when used for specific counter picks.

4. Lasher Takeda is really really dumb, just because he isn't as dumb as Ronin and SR doesn't make him less dumb. He has dominant air normals, same insane reach, same pseudo unblockables, best space control out of Takeda's variations.

5. Stunt Double Johhny is very good and has a lot of Johnny Cage's core strengths intact, just not quite as suffocating as A-List can be.
Absolutely right about ravenous and ethereal.... theyre both so slept on because of piercing being the way it is. As long as they don't bring the other two variations down with piercing, they're both potential top 5-10. Ethereal more so than ravenous.
 

UGL Preon

The Casual God
Warlock Quan Chi, Konjurer Alien, Bo Rai Cho in general, Pretty Lady and Killer Leatherface. They do a lot of stuff really well but as we know this game is top heavy.

I see a bit of Butcher. However i know 4 online butchers. So maube im a bit vision skewed
I know that I play Butcher and that Gunshow plays butcher, I don't know a ton more and Leatherface in general just doesn't get that much attention, it's a VERY small community in an already pretty small group of people (that group of people being people who play MKX on a regular basis)
