Help me understand why so many people say Sektor is in the very highest tier. Because I just don't get it.

I don't see it either. Aside from his great zoning which isn't hard to maneuver around, he has soo many things that can be shutdown and are just pure gimmicks. Yes he has 50/50's along with the entire cast in Mkx. I barely see people expose his gaps, and I think people only believe this because of that top 5 post that sonic made on twitter

It's all so very confusing.
Shrug, it seems like he has a lot of easily identified and applied tools, coupled with reasonable zoning and respectable damage along with some mix options. This certainly doesnt mean he's top 5, but I guess thats a/the basis for it.

He is relatively easy to play too**. So when people try him out he likely feels strong right away. Some characters you really have to grind and work on before they start to show just how good they are, but Sektor is pretty straight forward. When you jump on a character and he's just good right out of the gate, that can help skew perceptions as well.

Finally, he is a good zoner with options other than just running away. Good options. That hurt. This makes him a literal nightmare for a lot of players who dont play the game at a really high level.. Further skewing the perspective of his strength.

Or, fuck all my thought, its cause SonicFox said so.

** No one jump my ass on this, I said easy to play, not master, not play at a high level, or play optimally, just play. His basic zoning is easy to understand and his starter into teleport combos have a potato version that makes them even easier than they are normally. That is all I am saying. Easy BASIC BnB execution, easy to understand and implement BASIC game plan.

he has a lot of options. his wakeup flamethrower is a greater armoured move with excellent range and good for getting people off you and switching the offense to your favor on hit, he has good zoning tools that he is able to convert from and or setup a 50/50, his air dash used either alone or after a teleport uppercut is a very useful option for mobility and keeping players on their toes as it has pretty amazing priority, he has a fast mid (although it can be low profiled) that restands and gives you the option of continuing combo or resetting and going for 50/50 and of course he does some respectable damage meterless or with meter from anywhere on the screen. I'd put him somewhere around number 3 on my top 10 list.

literally the only person who will contest this is MKF30, and you already fucking destroyed him so I think you are in the clear



Anyways, Sektor probably not top 5 but he is the best Borg

Positive Poster!
Seems he has all the tools necessary and few shortcomings.
That's all I can think of why some of the most skilled players would feel he's up there.
Can't argue that, personally.

Why is straight missile ridiculous?

@21122 @Tweedy F2 not being a true mid doesn't hurt him?

Lao's F2 and Mileena's B1 were never true mids either. It's not the biggest deal in the world IMO. He could always F4 if someone is mashing a low profiling D4.

Straight missile just has really good recovery, does 8%, leads into a hard knockdown. He makes most of the cast come to him, even characters like Kitana.

I disagree with making Kitana come to him. Assassin maybe. RS controls his space still.

It's not about agreeing or disagreeing really.

Sektor just wins the zoning battle. Reflect is bad risk/reward for Royal Storm. Missiles beat fans.
