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
Don't forget the sweet gap that you can armor or neutral duck on ex bug blast
 

omooba

fear the moobs
venomous's gameplan is below average for mkx and broodmother has so many hitbox issues it's depressing. not comparing them to sq comparing them to the rest of the cast

I used this thread as an opportunity to show what characters are actually running under the radar, i know many will use this thread to express there salt vs a character. but these are the ones i think are gonna be close to top tier.




Cassie all variations
Reptile all
Raiden
Ferra Torr
Quan Chi
every variation is top tier not broke but very good.
Kitana great character well balanced and Honest. all variations are great.
Tanya, i know ill get hate for this, but she is solid, has everything you need, and i know people hate the nerfs, but she has what she needs, there may be a few small adjustments needed, i don't use her as main so. but other than that her Data looks good, nice Mids, Great Pokes, Mixups are nice, Good Air Control, Great Air game, Nice damage. i dont' see why se isnt good, other than she is not dirty? i know she is bad to fight the dirtiest but that will be fixed Oct 4th:)
Jax i never hear anything about this guy, Great mixups, great pressure, many ways to use the pressure to mic them up. good range, good Spce control. nice damage. nice AA's. he got it all he is no Kenshi.

Broodmother and Venomous are good variations. All this misleading propaganda stems from players using Broke Swarm as the baseline.

There's good players that know how to make Venomous and Broodmother work.
If you say so. -20+ is definitely fine on spray. It's also cool that ex bug blast has a gap between the two blast. Let's not forget that the first hit of ex spray is supposed to be plus, but that isn't the case. Oh and BM having ~1f links to combo after ex blast (which is fine with practice) and the fact that krawler is probably the worst special in the game next to ex spray.

It's definitely propaganda though.

no she needs a bar to combo off her low. sh can still loop the low safely and combo off the overhead safely without bar. using bar just nets her 45+
shotgun doesn't need bar to combo and restand off the low (midscreen), the combo is just too hard to do
in the corner she needs 1 bar to optimize stuffs though

Nice thread

My vote goes to Cutthroat. Jupe is the only dude to show work with him

As in SD as already said Alist completely trumps him .

SD only does better on 1 MU, maybe 2.

Since I started playing Alist I find it very difficult to pick SD in matches.

But I do sometimes to switch things up.

But yeah SD is still a really good variation so you're right as in underused

Is Krawler the bug that she can release on knockdown that basically otgs? The bug that allows her to get in for free/guarantee pressure? How is it bad?

It's not free pressure at all, go to training and block krawler, then do anything you want after you block it.

I think Nimble is still super good. Just very execution heavy. It's a shame Pro Stunner wasn't old enough to compete in the Pro League, I think he would have done well in S3.

Quan is criminally underrated at the highest level.

Brood Mother setups are basically Cyrax's MB bomb setups with the psuedo OTG but the krawler is low, so naturally it leads to HTB.

well it's fair for being +8 on block tbh. and if you hitconfirm f11 or f22 you can cancel it to be safe at least. f112 ex blast is also a true blockstring (females can make it whiff with crouch blocking for some reason :confused:)

and in the corner this character can do for example f11,df3,f44,f44,212, ex puddle (+47),b3 (+11), 112 wgc (into block to be safe if blocked or ex blast as hit confirm with 11b2 as followup if you're god). and this actually jails which is pretty dope lol.

and yeah after 212 as an ender you can't even avoid getting hit if canceled into krawler so if you don't have meter it's hard to deal with
