Ok so we have the hayatei and pig examples now, but to counter that example we could use sonic fox (Kitana and Erron) who are both relatively mid tier characters (right?) and myself (Buzzsaw Kung Lao) who is also relatively mid tier/now IMO quite low) we managed to make it alright.
@A F0xy Grampa I'm not claiming this is end all be all, and I agree there are times when skill can over come tier. You and Sonicfox are godlike and these characters while not top tier are relatively great, because this game is honestly not to bad balance wise. But, to think anyone can over come the true bottom tier and to say its mainly skill is to insinuate you can win a major with
@Pig Of The Hut Kenshi and
@YOMI REO Jason. Until this is done we loyalist will be waiting for someone to show us were bad and need to lvl up, until then its easier said then done......
Also in closing Kitana makes you play at her pace and control, even though shes not top tier, she is a great counter meta character....Erron, every time he touch's you has godlike options from his famous strings, again not a bad character his >>>
OPTIONS<<< (the key word here) are competitive......
PS::::
@SonicFox5000 plays them for a reason lol, does anyone think he pulls them out just because he is loyal to them?> or maybe he knows the advantages they offer in certain match ups, [even tho his Mileena upplay in the words of Tanya (disgust me) played her terribly and got away with murder, wasn't punished at all. He calls her A+ tier with know explanation of why, which his performance didn't tell the story. Also didn't play her in any of the winning Tanya match ups ]...
What top players don't understand is he's beating them outside and inside the game sculpting the meta and choosing who he wants NRS to nerf/buff.
PSS::::: You would be a god with kung lao variationless lol. Lastly, if this comes off disrespectful just know this is my opinion, and your probably my favorite player in Mortal Kombat X ATM, along with
@YOMI DJT .
