S: Kabal
A+: Sonya, Kenshi, Kung Lao, Raiden, Johnny Cage, Smoke
A: Freddy, Kitana, Cyrax, Jax, Reptile, Sektor, Skarlet
B: Mileena, Rain, Sub Zero, Ermac, Liu Kang, Shang Tsung
C: Noob, Sindel, Cyber Sub Zero, Nightwolf
D: Baraka, Kano, Scorpion, Stryker, Quan Chi, Jade, Sheeva

I have no damn idea where to put Quan Chi. Match up wise he's near the bottom. But he has that damn rune trap.
Dont listen or pay any attention to he Quan Chi MU charts lol. I think he sits nicely at B in your chart personally. Much better than the characters in C and D.

Looks pretty legit. I do think Stryker is better than the D characters. I even think hes better than NW, CSZ, noob and their in C.

Hmm possibly. I literally based this on match-up numbers and Stryker can go even with the cast but he never wins any matches (maybe 1 or 2) and then obviously he loses a few so he has a low number. Also I really don't think Kano is as bad as D tier but again...match-ups.

Raiden above Freddy? No.

Raiden above Freddy? No.
Yes. I think Raiden is a top tier character despite the nerfs. Don't really want to get into a huge debate now but I'll just say he has one of the best moves in the game, great whiff punisher, good damage, great turtle, cannot be zoned, creates crazy mind games thus giving him the advantage before the match even starts. Hard to play with at the highest level and that's ultimately the problem. He's still one of the best imo.

I'm not debating Raiden's potential I'm saying Freddy is crazy...

Freddy is SO CHEAP! People cry nerf about Kabal, Freddy is OP in a similar way but not as bad (iAGB/Ground Saws). Freddy Kreuger has projectiles that you blocked full screen will frame trap you, that is dumb. Makes it feel like a pre patched Kung Lao Low Hat except it having the same properties for you blocking it. Plus that Teleport makes Freddy feel like a better Kitana (Assing Away to zone full screen except Freddy has the capability to spam Ground Spikes, Low Crawling Claw and Glove Tossing where as Kitana can't do anything with her fans except for you jumping at her, duck low all day).

Why is Freddy even in this game? >.> .....Business = $$$

Cock Master!!
freddy has a big hit box, if you get hit by the spikes make sure you roll up or you'll get frame trapped, dash forward when you see a dream shit come from the sky. theres other info, freddy is good not OP.. i think i have played vs M2Daves freddy more then any other character..

C
Kano, Noob Saibot, Scorpion, Sheeva, Baraka, Jade

IMO, this is the most accurate tier list so far. very hard to argue with. the biggest problem is that you have ppl that play certain characters like smoke, jax, freddy, etc who refuse to admit that they play a character in the top 5-8. Its like they feel like its an insult to say you win with a top character.
ur missing Shang Tsung in ur list!

i dont call it the "reo and cd jr patch". there are ppl who's characters benefit from the patches and that is a fact. in no way did i ever insult you or CDjr. if kabal didnt benefit from the dash nerf then i am mistaken in thinking the patch helped the character. if jax didnt benefit from his almost 10 buffs then i am mistaken in thinking the patch helped him. if sonya getting armor on start up of her ex cartwheel now then i am mistaken in thinking a patch benefited her... etc etc...

no one but cd jr has done what he has done with jax. there are many kabals that are a pain in the ass but none of have done what you have done with the character. character facts about the characters should never be taken as a player insult.
Hey, I got some tissues in the car. Next car ride I will hand them to you and we can discuss about how horrible NRS is for nerfing Sub-Zero and buffing Jax. We can also put on "Low Tier Bragging" pajamas and talk about how we made top 8 with Sindel and Stryker while we downplay others who win majors with top tiers 'cause we're too cool to use them. After that, would you be down to go to the mall and shop for "Life isn't fair when I'm right" at the character loyalty section? I'm gonna send Ed Boon an e-mail about what a horrible person he is for forcing me to play Cyber Sub-Zero and Kano at tournaments after I get done blaming my performance for the character I use. Would you be kind enough to read over it, sir?

It's just not fair. Why does Kabal have to be so good and Jade have to be so bad? Please, someone help us and donate to the Jade buff requests foundation cause we all are extreme experts and definitely know what we're talking about. Anyway, I'm just rambling now. Make sure to add me on facebook and look forward to more information! IF YOU LIKE WHEN BARAKA AMBUSHED MILEENA IN STORY MODE MAKE SURE TO ADD MY OTHER TAG - CASUALGAMERatheart69

The only way this small community is going to get an appropriate tier list is if all the top players for each character get together and pound out the matches. VSM alone can take care of a few mu's. Jax's, Sonya's, Smokes, Kabal. They could definitely figure out the numbers for 4 characters alone. Maybe at a large tournament like MLG or EVO a bunch of guys can get together and play it out.

People use low tier characters because they simply enjoy them. I'm basically forcing myself to learn Kabal/Kenshi and am not having fun doing so because I think they're dumb characters lol. I wanna have fun while winning, not win and be miserable in the process. I can't help that I think Baraka is a bad mother fucker and he's low tier.

No, bro. I use low tiers cause I like to option select when I lose. I lost? I'm using a low tier, bitch. I won? Counts as two wins 'cause I'm using a low tier! Winning a major isn't my dream. My dream is to maybe make top 8 once in a while or get a game or two off a top player using a lame and corny "high tier" character. BTW, who do you guys think is the worst character in the game now? Kano or Sheeva? I need a new main and am thinking Stryker may be too high for my tastes right now. I want to use the worst character in the game while I finish reading their awesome bio on MK wiki.com! Does anyone make sigs?
