Question Any fair/honest Characters in MKX?

[Kooron Nation]

In a game full of safe 50/50's into huge damage, insane pressure characters, hard to blockables, stupid jump ins, etc.
I was curious if there are a select few characters who you think are 'fair and honest'?

I'm basing the description of 'fair and honest' on a character who excels very well under the play of someone who knows Match-Ups, has a very solid neutral game, good punishes, anti-airs, and makes hard reads. The character can perform well and beat most of the cast if s/he really works for it and plays the meta well, without any broke hard to blockables or safe 50/50s.

A few characters that I think come to mind for me are:
-Jax
-Kano (Cybernetic, Commando)
-Kotal Kahn (Sun & Blood God)
-Predator
-Johnny Cage (Fisticuffs)
-Erron Black
-Reptile (not sure haven't really used him)
-Ferra/Torr (again, not sure)

Let me know your opinions and thoughts, and pls don't make this thread all about downplaying your top tier main,
"Quan Chi is honest cuz no armour bro!!!!"

Goro is very honest and difficult to use

Grandmaster Sub is pretty fair. Jax players need to level up tbh

With the exception of Kitana all the fair characters are the low tier characters imo so just look at them.

Reptile is Hella slept on
Johnny cage is fair in all 3 variations now I think.

With the exception of Kitana all the fair characters are the low tier characters imo so just look at them.

But surely there are some mid/high tier characters who just play the neutral really well and hold their ground without any cheap shit?

Cybernetic is probably the best it gets to a good character that isn't cheap. He's not greeaat but he does pretty well after the new patch imo and he doesn't really do anything dumb.

Leatherface is pretty honest. Has very little real dirt.

 

[Dankster Morgan]

Balanced isn't all that bad imo its probably like low mid ish

 

[Daemantalo]

Cybernetic Kano is the most honest Character in this game

Come at me.

Gimmicks are the literal most honest type of dirt ever.

Pretty Lady is more honest tbh.

 

[Basic Stupidity]

You had about 3 honest characters on that list
Here's a real list:
Kenshi Balanced
Ferra/Torr Lackey
Predator Warrior
Erron Black
Kotal Kahn Blood God and Sun God
Triborg Sektor (maybe he's still pretty cheap)
Kitana Mournful (another maybe)
Leather Face Pretty Lady

@CrazyFingers told me Leatherface is pushing top tier and goes even with the likes of Mileena, Sektor/Smoke, and even Shinnok

 

[thlityoursloat]

Every character who was top tier in the previous builds.
except for iunno, Sonya maybe?

This is the problem with MKX. We keep acting like the game is full of safe 50/50s and all this madness when it's not. October 4th fixed a lot of stuff and we want to keep acting like it did nothing.

Why? Characters like Cybernetic and Balanced are viable. Armored launchers are gone or super toned down.

That must have been a LONG ASS time ago cuz it's been pretty known around here that my opinion has changed drastically about the character's power.
