Why? I get that Takeda is being downplayed and Hayatei's trolling is fueling it, but how is he more blessed than Kitana, Sub Zero, etc?
didnt say he was more blessed than kitana or sub, just the he is among that blessed group.

he is the jack the ripper of the patch, getting away with murder.

I meant sorcerer btw, I dont use summoner lol
This is the one I got beaten up in the online tourney. First time against this one. I know of the Summoner, since in MKXL Beta from Kold_Warrior[GR]. ;)

Puddle nerf seriously destroyed a good portion of her core gameplay as well.
Alright I'm gonna call out D'Vorah players here. If her puddle in combos or midscreen was "a gimmick," why has the puddle nerf "demolished" the character? A tool that was defined by top D'Vorah (down)players as only applicable in oki cannot seriously be one of the two threads that held this variation together.

Don't know if I'd say the most, but Johnny got hit pretty hard, especially Stunt Double.

Like, you have to be pretty spoiled by that character to not admit that she's at least top 5.

Who contends with her setplay? Why was her wake up game left the same?

I understand that when you only play one character or a small amount of characters, your logic can be in a box, but when you look around, Demo is still lol.

Get over here!
Blessed: Kitana, Sub Zero, Jason, Scorpion, Smoke

Nerfed: Alien, Dvorah

This is not necessarily based on changes to these characters but rather changes to the whole roster and universal mechanics and who I think benefited most or least.

There are so many characters that you can consider strong right now though. Demo might be one of the overall best variations due to her ability to negate reversals by using delayed stun grenades to always win trades. however, i think a good hish qu ten would win that 6-4 or possibly 6.5 - 3.5. he just eliminates her tools (like her entire air game), and the new stamina changes make him so much stronger against a character like her. if she can get in and stay in, sure she can win.

I feel like counter picking is going to be a much bigger thing in this game.

I think the characters not being considered as top tier/S tier but might actually be are Raiden, Bo, and Liu right now.

Blessed the most was Royal Storm kitana.

Cursed the most...RIP Lackey F/T man. Just play Goro instead tbh.

Got hit hardest: Johnney Cage (A-list) All he got was the block pressure and even then he didn't have the best offense in the game as some like to think. Now that variation is unviable imo.

Most blessed: Kitana

Demo did not get off easier, I can't convert to decent damage off of anti-air grenade anymore and that forced me to drop the character.
It's only natural that many Sonya players drop her now that she require some skill.

Literally everyone's answer for cursed character should be Lackey. He was only ok before but now he complete, unviable garbage. Play Goro Lackey mains, you'll like it.

Dude please, HQT can't do shit about Sonya's air attack and "random normals into grenade" footsie

depends at which distance and sometimes sonya becomes a sitting duck in some scenarios or has to do risky things to get it
yea HQT is good from a distance and Sonya is a monster up close. However HQT has some plus frame and d1 d4 to defense himself. That matchup feels like 5 - 5 to me, there's no way HQT can rape Sonya that hard
 
I actually think HT Jaqui got fucked the most. The universal nerfs were enough to ruin her but then the single nerfs for HT was just a cherry on top of the already huge indirect nerfs.

I don't think high tech Jaqui was just hit, I think she was knocked out.

Warlock is complete ASSSSSS now. Absolutely worst variation in the game bar none. He lost his armoured scoop which dealt shitty damage anyway. like 31% for a bar? OH NO! NERF!

Added 3 hits of armour to Portal Stab but where they at NRS? WHERE THEY AT?!

You say warlock is the worst but may I direct you towards Lackey? At least you have the base stuff that makes Quan good. Lackey is WORSE than variationless F/T.
