Denzell thinks Tremor loses one match up at the highest level, maybe two. He thinks Tremor can hold his own against almost any character in the game.

Because all the characters in A tier are extremely good in their own way and saying one or a select few of them are better than the rest of their tier is a pretty bold statement for this game, IMO.

Like some others have said, MKX is shaping up to be the most balanced NRS game to date. There's a LOT of really good characters.

Jacqui is really good across all of her variations. Ferra / Torr and Kotal Kahn are probably the best designed characters in the game with how great all three of their variations can be.

As far as why Goro is placed so low it's only because of the losing match ups we had down for him which are: Quan Chi, Shinnok, Kung Lao, Kung Jin, Predator, Tanya, Kano, etc. I'm sure some of the well established Goro players can chime in on this segment. @Decay @Espio @Mortal Komhat @Alright RyRy

Liu Kang a.k.a Kabal Jr.

Liu shall now always be known as Kabal Jr. to me.

EX punchwalk is just a better version of EX Torryuken. Recaptures if they are in the air, multiple hits on block to build meter, non EX version just as safe and confirmable so he can end block strings in normal punchwalk everytime to be safe (Lackey has no meterless special to cancel into that is safe on block), and both versions are safer on block than EX torruken which can still be punished by stuff like KL spin... but look at where Goro is on this list. Lackey is not what makes Ferra Torr "top tier"

Ruthless might be

about a month ago i used to avoid playing the S tier characters.....but after getting my ass handed to me and not having fun for the most part, i decided to offer my soul to Quan and he has rewarded me greatly

Do you not think that every character who has to rush Goro down has to play a double edged 50-50 when it comes to his own wakeup? I can understand the zoners winning but would like to know how each character specialist deals with punchwalk.

 

[OnlineSkunk]

Sonic Fox said Piercing Mileena is A+ and he's a Mileena player and Tom Brady said GM Sub Zero is top 5 offline, Are tier list more than a 50/50 these days or has it always been like this

 

[Nausea]

Awww ffs.

 

[TopTierHarley]

will people ever stop seeing 3 variations as one character?

- 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)

 

[Afk Skinny]

Surprised to see F/T make such a leap!

Thanks bro

Do you think Kang can potentially be S Tier?

Like what are his losing MUs?

 

[Ra Helios]

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.

THE GOD, RA HELIOS, IS BACK!!!

 

[Renzokuken]

REO, are you sure this tier list is new? It says it was created 10 years ago in the title.

Seems like a solid tier list, by the way. I do agree with your reasoning that many characters were placed in A tier because they are all individually unique; they each have something different to bring to the table that makes them powerful in their own way. It sums up my opinion on this game's balance quite perfectly.

 

[Blewdew]

I thought that was interesting, especially considering that F/T is in fact the worst character in the game.

No.

 

[ragnar0kz28]

Agreed on all in the pic, position wise i would place kitana in numer 14 or 15 so this looks good.

 

[SaSSolino]

...and Shinnok is still up there :<

 

[MadeFromMetal]

Is there an updated matchup matrix to go along with this?

 

[Nulak]

It miss some tier "rank" imo. Like half of the cast is A ? ...

 

[WiseM0nkey]

dis gon b gud?

 

[Baconlord]

Sonic Fox said Piercing Mileena is A+ and he's a Mileena player

when did he say this

 

[Error404]

What exactly is the point of this list? The characters in A and in B tier are by no means equal to each other. All you have done is stated the best and worst characters, something that is common knowledge at this point. And fuck the remaining 20 characters nobody really cares right? . Most pointless list ever.

 

[Phosferrax]

Jacqui is really good across all of her variations. Ferra / Torr and Kotal Kahn are probably the best designed characters in the game with how great all three of their variations can be.

Ferr/Torr would be great in MK9, but they're lack of mobility is such a big problem in this game. Anyone with good footsies/walk back speed really gives the character a shitty time and there is a lack of MU knowledge in general about him. Biohazard is a great player by all means, but it's clear when watching him play others that a lot of people don't know the character as well as others, which is understandable given the lack of representation.

Because Ferra/Torr suffers from very poor mobility, and is actually hindered by the unique nature of their own duel character design, I find it a stretch to say they are among the best designed characters in this game, especially along the likes of Kano, Kotal, Jax, or Jacqui.

 

[Diego de Souza Costa]

i think Mileena and Ermac, needs to be one place higher.... Goro and Kenshi, stay one place lower, and at the bottom, Jason..... :,|

something like
B+: Ermac and Mileena
B: Kenshi and Goro
C: Jason

 

[3PiecesOfBread]

Only on TYM can 24 characters be top 10.
