Of course that's how a winner is determined, but that's not how a matchup is determined on paper. Throughout the roster, there are good matchups and bad matchups, and they are independent of the players playing the match.

Meh, now you're getting into things that I find irrelevant. Just my opinion. Characters don't fight characters. It's all about who is playing which character and how they play the said matchup.
That's 2 different scenarios. The difference in between are that the character may have issues & that the player just knows how to outplay his opponent. Same thing with characters & players in general. A player can be bad, but still use a solid character & a player can be good, but still use a bad character.
I only find Jax tougher to deal with than Scorpion because of his options on wake up. I would say both of those matches are like 4-6 for her as of right now.
100% this. I always pick out a main before I get a game. And, I will say that it does make it frustrating when the character you want to play feels as though they lack important things, but jumping to whoever's hot just for the chance at a few trophies... I dunno, just isn't for me. Now, if Mileena somehow got buffed to top tier, best believe I'll run with that shit, lol.
I agree with the both of you. I've always liked kenshi the most. In this game he doesn't have many options as far as moveset and what he does have, tele lift for example, isn't for anti airs (too slow) so I guess it's for combo extender... what combos you can get off considering his mixup game is jade tier.
I've always liked Mileena, but didn't like her style in mk9. I couldn't ever get myself feeling comfortable with her. However, she feels so fluid in this game and when I played her for the first time in the lab I was hooked. Haven't looked back either.
Eh, it's more the likelihood of this shit working over a series of matches. I agree, sometimes people get caught up in "theory-fighter", but you also get the opposite, where people base everything off of a series of crazy dice rolls that ended up in their favor. If you are 10 for 10 on hard reads, you can make even the worst of matchups look favorable, lol. If you're 7/10 against a bad matchup, you could still end up losing. That's really the difference, imo.
Mileena was sick in MK9. She wasn't one of the best characters in the game, but she hung with everyone well. She had matches that she had to work for, but she would place Top 8 & Top 16.
His options on wakeup is annoying. F1 can beat wake-up dash punches but have to end combos in 21u4, also you get noting from it as he's mid air........actually F12+4 might work, gonna have to give it a try.
I have never tried d3 against overhead minion. Will give it a go though.
b ut how will u not lose against me when u dont play cassie
What do you mean?
I haven't tried it, yet, but this seems like a really legit strat against them. Even still, the way the variation plays out, he uses his minion charge & overhead minion to force a reaction so that he can rush you down. Ball roll avoids it & gets you closer into D4 & B12 range without him having to hit you in any way, so that you can play him that way too. I will look into this though & get back to you. Her sais come out faster so you could do that, but you also have to watch for his teleport kick because it whiff punishes her sais. Either that or he'll use it to get in with the teleport delay.
I feel that trying to zone out Grandmaster is almost a waste of time...Up close you have the 50/50 enders but after low sai hits, I still lose control...What do I do then? I just cant figure that match up out....
building on that, normal roll also interupts kung laos 44 so you dont have to use meter on that either
It's not the money part. Yeah if you have characters with a bad match up, then yes, you should use a character who is relatively better, but generally, like how the game's is in its current stage, no. Everyone wants to find stuff right then & there. When this stuff takes time. That's why I'm waiting it out. I'm generally an offline tournament player, too; I'm just new to the offline scene to people in the MK kommunity.
I agree, patience is a virtue and not many people are displaying that. Hopefully that will change and people grind out the characters and variations they want to play.
