Deciding on a bottom 5 is way harder than a top 5 imo.

1. Jade
2. Stryker

and then uh... well shit, I have no idea.

I'm predicting page #3 being the blow up. With at least 2 pages of nice conversation.
That said, I think the major qualifications should be the following:
Specials that Zone
Specials that Pressure
Specials that Counter Pressure
Normals should come into play after the specials are expended, and should be the smaller details looked at. Considering everyone has a d+1, d+4, JIP, and JIK. Which serve as the Normal move variant to these specials.
If anyone thinks I need adjustments, or I'm flat-out wrong. Don't beat around the bush and waste my time.

If you honestly think about it, pretty much every character that was in Shang Tsung's/Shao Kahn's goon squad in the storyline is pretty much ass in the actual game. So since you want a definitve answer, it's --->

Jade, Baraka, Human Sub Zero, Sindel and Cyber Sub Zero
 
In before massive flame war.

I'm disheartened to see my boy Baraka in a lot of these early lists, but I guess I see why someone would say that, and like Pig of the Hut said someone has to be bottom 5. It's not really a matter of if he's a good character, it's a matter of if there aren't 26 characters who are better, and I'm not sure there aren't. I'd have to think about it. Don't really got time to think up my own list right now but I'll probably post one at some point.

please edit your post and defiitely pick only one cause right now you have 7 listed....

come on man ........

OmegaK same thing goes for u, GIVE ME 5, i know its hard but DO IT lol
As you wish.

(list changed)

I dont even think Stryker is a bad character, this game is amazingly well balanced atm IMO.
 

Hitoshura

Head Cage
5) Sindel
4) Sheeva
3) Ermac
2) Stryker
1) Jade

bottom 5 are still good characters just most of cast are better than them. Jade on the other hand...lol

Mash d+1~Cat Claws
Elder God

Baraka
Sub-Zero
Kano
Jade

Non-pro players can contribute? Just curious.

1. Jade
2. Sindel
3. Nightwolf
4. Baraka
5. Stryker

These characters are still quality, but there sadly has to be a bottom five, hard to choose.

NPO

Jade
Sheeva
Stryker
Noob
Quan Chi

I'm biased about Sindel because I've seen the stupid shit Mr.Mileena can do with her, I don't think she's nearly as limited as the rest of these characters. Baraka isn't as limited either imo.
 

Vulcan Hades

Champion
lol Kano and Sub bottom 5.

That list is full of win. :D

1. Jade
2. Sindel
3. Stryker
4. Baraka
5. Ermac

I think Baraka is good but in the end he just comes out as a watered down version of Jax, Johnny Cage and Sonya imo.

Sheeva is gonna surprise some people at EVO. :)

Lol, this is much more difficult than top 5.
Let's see:

1. Jade
2. Sindel
3. Noob
4. Stryker
5. Sub Zero

Kano IMO is a solid mid-tier character. Just waiting for I$AAC to showcase him at a major. :)

Mortal
1. Jade
2. Stryker
3. Sheeva
4. Sub Zero
5. Cyber Sub Zero

If I could count Kratos he'd be on here as well because I think his normals are among the shittiest in the game.
