[Tweedy]

Are Mileena, Ermac and Goro really as bad as Kenshi?

I'd put them in like A-, with Kenshi in B, or something.

Also, disagree with Jax not being S, and Shinnok being S. Besides that, great list imo.

Edit: Oh and Liu Kang isn't S? Guess I disagree with that too.

 

[YoloRoll1stHit]

What happened with Kitana lol. Because of that 2% damage nerf?

 

[The Highlander]

Not sure how Jacqui is placed that high. She's definitely one of the most improved characters, but her t-rex limbs keep her from using her frame traps and her wakeups are more of a liability than a benefit. She also gets outzoned by charactets with better limbs and wakeups, making her essentially a worse version of those characters.

She also suffers from "scrub syndrome", in that as soon as you pick her, the scrubs start crying "spammer!".

Genuine question, who outzones her? Pred?

Are you kidding me with this?

 

[coolwhip]

This crap is so inaccurate they play amongst themselves so why bother even listen to these people (no disrespect to them) . If they don't play with other people besides their self then_______________
Lue Kane is S tier
Cassie Cage is A tier. I am not commenting on the rest.

Remember these are the same people that said Lue Kane is top 16. I leave it at that.

Quoting this for Lue Kane.

Nope, I play tremor why the fuck would I know about jaqui's zoning wars?

 

[DarkFire*]

Tanya isn't S Tier

IMO she is most certainly S Tier right now lol.

- safe armored wake up that can lead into pressure
- forces YOU to guess when you try to oki her
- b1 2+4 starts with a 9f mid/OH, has great range, and is safe on block
- solid projectile (on hit when MB'd can lead into a full combo/pressure from full screen)
- can delay rekkas to either make herself safe/+, if she guesses you're gonna press buttons to get out of her pressure, she MB rekkas right through your sh!t or just blocks and punishes lol
- great footsies with f2/b1
- though unsafe, she many mix-ups/50-50's

I def don't see why she would not be on the same level as the other S Tiers with all this and more lol

Wut

 

[EMPEROR_KNICKS]

Ok .. Why the hell is mileena with goro..

Because goro isnt as bad as people make him out to be, he has good armor and wake ups, great pressure and so many plus and save strings, tick throws, otgs, damage, okay zoning, (better in tigrar) good specials in all his variations. He also has solid meaties in the corner, and armor breaking strings, etc

 

[MrProfDrPepper]

I personally would switch jax and tremor but good tier list overall

 

[Genei Jin]

The last 4 characters in the A tier (Kano, Kitana, Raiden, Scorpion) has seen better days.

 

[shura30]

why don't you guys put out a matchup chart instead?

Suck dick

Hello everyone. We know it's been a while since our last tier list so without further wait, we present to you our newest and latest tier list:

- All characters are placed in ALPHABETICAL ORDER within a tier group.
- Assume the character is using their best suited variation for a match-up (Example: Hat Trick won't bring Kung Lao down as Tempest covers mostly all, while Aftershock for Tremor will cover many match-ups where Crystalline will fall short)
- B and C tiers do not necessarily mean characters placed within these parts are "bad" characters, just that they may not have as much winning or even match ups as the tier groups above them.

All credit to the layout and image design goes to @gongfuren!


Agree or disagree? Discuss.

Y'all are sleeping on goro breh... Safe, 2 hits or armor, launching, that you could also meter burn to launch, special...set ups to guarantee a free stomp..excellent pokes..good damage output..good armor breaking with that kick..and he has a mix up game going nothing crazy but he has mix ups as well..

[Slips]

She has more than 30 % on some of her regular combos midscreen but nevermind...

The problem is you look at Cassie like she's a rushdown character - she's about the neutral and the 50/50's. Yes you can conclude Johnny has better block pressure, that's the intention of the character design.

Dude... Johnny's d2 is fucking garbage man. If you have loads of succes with, somethings wrong, because it's absolute garbage. I mean it's fast, but the hitbox is so fucking bad. Most moves I can d2 punish playing as Jax wont work when I try with Johnny. Do you even play Johnny Cage man?

Fucking garbage? It does pretty well against nearly all jk's and downward jp's. All other jp's get low profiled by d4. Sure maybe it's not Jax end all be all of uppercuts but his AA's are fine in comparison to Cassie's from what I can tell.

As a jc main, his only actual mixup is d4 and f2. People need to stop saying he has 50/50s

Jc's jips are shockingly bad, his ji3 is good.

Her pokes are all faster.

Her np when does properly guarantees a 50/50. Jc doesn't have a 50/50.

Safe combo starting 6 frame armoured flip.

IAG's are excellent for counterzoning.

Cassies meterless damage is better midscreen, and moderately lower with bar, in the corner cassie can do the same meterless as johnny with bar.

Cassie has a 6 frame combo starter thats 0 on block.

I personally think cassie is A as is JC. They both have their strengths and play differently, jc is pressure footsie, cassie is mixup footsie.

Its hard for me to say which is better but i'd think cassie tips it.

Do you play much JC?

Thanks for actually putting together an argument as opposed to just talking shit. You might be right on the 50/50 thing. You're right on faster pokes and better punishers too. The others I think is a wash with her tools vs. Johnny's. Damage evens out. JC's 8% projectile is good for counter zoning. Both have great armor.

Anyway I thought it's a discussion worth talking about and giving some thought whether people agree or not.

And to both of you, no I don't play JC. I play against him though and I know his tools. I didn't know asking a question and presenting an argument brought on suspicion and interrogation here so I'll be sure never to do that again. I apologize.

ah come on his D2 is not garbage and can AA most jump ins if spaced right

People are not using using run D2 yet
