MK1 Tier List Discussion Thread

I don't know exactly what the route is I just know I've been hit by it a bunch. It's like the knee juggled into the running ex command grab into tremor ambush up punch

I see what you're talking about now. I figured it out in the lab.

s3~knee > s3~EX run into air grab > Tremor up punch~121~air command grab = 47%.

You can also end it with just 121 for 43% and a +41~ safe jump scenario.

How is Kung lao sharing the same spot with Homelander?

Cyrax is hella op and kung lao aint even close. Command grab, meter drain special, projectile that opens you up for mad damage, safe on block bombs? resets, 50/50s.. the combination of specials that Cyrax has is op by default, not matter who masters Cyrax at this point.

Both Omni man (edit: i ment Homelander) and Cyrax are way too strong on their own. They have so many freedom on who to pick as a Kameo. Kung Lao is good with Sektor, that’s kinda it.

I dont think omni man is anywhere higher than lower top 15 at most.

Felipe, what are you doing?

You and I both know this guy probably doesn't even own a copy of the game, let alone play it.

I'm willing to give this man the benefit of the doubt. I've seen some cool posts from him in the Kung Lao threads.

It just strikes me as odd to call Omni-man too strong on his own and better than Lao... I mean, yes he can do most of his combo routes and setplays without being tied to a single kameo and they are just spices added on top of him - this is the same case with Reptile, IMO. It doesn't make him stronger than Kung Lao, I think, despite Lao having to rely on kameos to get his game going (Sonya, Mavado and, as seen most of the time, Sektor). Perhaps this is what he is refering to, instead of "Omni-man is high tier"?

My bad, i ment Homelander, not Omni man. I get confused by both of them. (But i believe that Omni man could be higher on the tier list. Omni/mavado have some nasty stuff)

I think that characters who can do most of their mix ups and damage on their own, have an advantage over characters that don't. Kung lao is not bad, his air projectile adds much more mobility. So thats a very welcome addition to his move list. But Lao still needs bar or a kameo to squeeze anything out of his normals and specials. This limits creativity and character match ups opposed to those that can do most of their work on their own.
