Discussion Easiest characters to pick up top 5

Bojutsu is definitely n1, I feel like everyone played him when the game came out, then kotal, ninjutsu, gm, and slasher hands down

I would say Ninjutsu to an extent but it would require players to play smart with f2 since a lot of new players that pick it up can't space for shit which they easily get blown up by anyone that's half decent at the game and has a character with advancing mids if sorts. Ninjutsu absolutely kills noobs and whiff tp is so potent especially since 90% of the players like to overcommitt to a string and again can't space for crap cuz it's mkx.
The other ones are probably Bojutsu, Mystic Ermac who only needs like one move to be good. Inferno is more potatoes tho it sucks. Kotal WG, and Pyro if we are talking solely on learning how to use it and strats.

There's a difference between easy to pick up and easy to win with (online). Both WG Kotal and Ninjutsu Scorpion are incredibly easy to learn combos for and have basic gameplay strategies, but Scorp is going to get you a lot more free wins than WG these days.
 
Brawler and Hollywood are easy as hell to pick up, one of the auto-footsie characters lol. Spec Ops is just a disappointing accident of a kid that inherited good genes from the family but did nothing with it and is now a bum.
I find her weird to play. Midscreen she feels awkward to me since you are so reliant on B1. Also, B2122+4 input made me stop trying, can't get it to work for some reason.

The string is actually real easy but for some reason a lot of new Cassies struggle with it. The thing is, you have to input it fast, not as fast as errons 21122 (you can but it's not a strict speed timing like 21122). The 12 comes out at one time you cant input it individually so b212 has to be inputted quickly then at any time after that you can input d2+4

Lol, that is probably the issue, I primarily play Erron.

It don’t always be like it is... but it do.

Lol This is what I was thinking. I'm surprised nobody has mentioned her yet.

Nobody thinks Cassie is easy to pick up?
Run cancels and stamina management can br hard, especially after the latest patch.
Also, midscreen flip kick into 212, b12 is really tight.
And instant air gunshots require a lot of time to master.

Jason as a whole
Bongjutsu or Shaolin (KJ)
Flame Fist (LK)
Jax (either Pumped Up or Wrestler)
Cutthroat (Kano)
Mystic (Ermac)

Grandmaster is a big no-no due to its sexist combos in the corner.
Balanced is a big fuck no, but I won't give Kenshi players any credit because Kenshi players do not deserve any of it.

I've never heard anyone say Jax is braindead or any variation of Jason other then slasher.

She's probably one of the hardest to learn unless you're born with godlike skills at fighting games. Once you know her though she's really awesome to play.

One another note, Hunter Pred is pretty easy to learn. Easy 30%+ midscreen combos like Mileena and Jason.

There it is...

Only part of his game thats not potato execution is b3 cmd grab.
He doesnt give a fuck about armour in one variation. His knockdown game is stupidly simple and very good. He has very good wakeups. B122 totally dominates neutral.
Footsies are very good with d1 and b3. Jump ins are good, he has two tick grabs that work on block and hit at least ones a. Mid as far as im aware, his d2 is a fantastic AA.

Hes fairly braindead all round

GM players dont try sell that 'our character is hard cause hitbox issue' bill.

I have played a variety of decent gms who combo consistently when im on cassie

Everyone sees right through that nonsense.
