So from what I understand; Johnny, Homelander, Sindel, Nitara, and Tanya are the new top 5?
Swap Nitara for Ashrah, and yeah, pretty much. Followed by Liu Kang, Nitara, Mileena, Kenshi (yes, he is stil a VERY good character) and Reiko, for the remaining top 10, in no particular order. Maybe swap Nitara for Kitana in that top 10 spot as well, not sure yet.
this might work as relative tier list, but traditionally S-tier is borderline broken while c-tier can barely win anything. this is not the case in mk1's current state (id put pre-patch homelander in s for example, who was in fact bugged), in an absolute tier list id put everyone between a+ and b for this game. and i also disagree with sub in low tier. he has one of the stronger neutrals in the game and straight 50/50 launchers, the only thing putting him in place is his damage scaling and thats fine imo, his balancing feels pretty right.
Looks pretty decent but I think you have scorpion way too low as well as home lander
I'd change it already, tbh. Nitara 1, Sindel 2, Homelander 3, Scorpion 4. Reorder the rest after that
Tanya is frequently used in competitive events. She’s probably picked at least as frequently as Sindel.
Goated mid string, impossible to make whiff once she gets buff up (which charges ridiculously fast), plus on block armored launcher, the best d1 special in the game with spin kicks and ex teleport, great stagger with f2 and 12.
So what you're saying is she needs to use meter, do degenerate things like D1 into special or armor when negative, and she needs a kameo to keep her safe while she plays like a sicko. The real top tiers of MK1 don't play like this, there is a clear gulf between Sindel and Tanya that should be represented by different tiers
D1 special is really good in this game. Like every character that can do d1, special, ambush reliably and be plus has been top tier. Tanya, cage, pre patch Raiden, baraka, and rain when he had old cyrax all abused that shit. Getting offense of a blocked poke in a game where 90% of characters are just doing strike throw is an insane tool. Plus on block armored launchers she be obvious why it's good, I don't know why you're acting like those 2 options aren't good enough to make a character top tier. Tanya is also a premium ferra abuser. she's easily top 5 right now
He's got a dogshit strike throw game, no good mid, the worst reversal in the game, kunai setups are ass, and he's got no good way to keep himself safe. I'd be shocked if he has any matchup better then 5-5.
her advancing mid (b2?) string is a rarity in the cast and pretty damn good. just re-labbed her recently and found a gap in that string though, i was super sure there was none earlier.
She has very good footsies, great damage, good zoning, hard to blockable specials. With ferra she gets plus launching armour, and can add a gapless, launching overhead at any point in her strings. In the corner, she gets high damage into unblockable setups. She’s a very very strong character.
Very valid points brought up. Although, I don't look at her from a cameo standpoint, I see her a full character.
Can I ask why you have Kenshi clearly above Johnny and Sindel?
Even though Kenshi may be open to counterplay by being zoned out, his main setplay with sento is BS imo. It doesn't feel that it belongs in a game like MK1. There's no effective counterplay to it, you just have to guess or you die.
Saying Sindel is playing mk1 while Kenshi is playing mkx is a really good point if you ignore the existence of Sindel's hard to blockable vortex.
