Strategy Sheeva and Kenshi = Complete team.

I am, and have been, and always will be a Sheeva main in MK9. However, as all of you may know she does have some bad matchups in this game. Kenshi I feel has different strengths than Sheeva has and therefore is a good fit for any Sheeva main to add to their tournament team. It is amazing how Kenshi just covers her bad MUs.

If you have a Sheeva/Kenshi team think about it. There are very few bad MUs left in the game. Allowing you a chance to outplay your opponent, and that is really all you could ask for at a tourney.

The most complete team is Kabal
Very true. Team Kabal/Kabal is the undisputed #1 tournament mains to have.

But the 2nd best team actually have 2 different layouts that are both equally viable.
Kenshi/Kenshi and Sheeva/Kenshi.

Umm... let's see here. Sheeva can come out possibly against Kabal, Kenshi, and Slips' Scorpion.

I prefer to main striker and use kabal as back up to cover all the bad matchups.

am i the only person who doesn't think kenshi is top 5?
