No Order: Everyone but Goro.
How can you say for sure that Takeda is not S-tier/top ten/upper echelon doe? There's probably still a lot of exploring to do with post patch Takeda. Hopefully Sonicfox or someone busts him out at a major.Shinnok BS still has great kit.... i think a few of them flew under the radar, and people still hold first month stigma on bottom tier kombatants, like goro may be viable, ferra/torr ruthless is beastly now, reptile has fast frames and serious advance in movelist.
kung lao is still strong, but i feel he did lose alot from 112124 block string pushback.... but gained some right back with universal engine change to crossover characters auto turn, so his mk9 spin is kinda back.
jacqui FA has definitely climbed the ranks, dont know if she is top 10, but is definitely going to show later down the road...
Takeda has got the best patches 27 out of the bunch, but honestly did not make him S-tier but is definitely close to kits deserving it, with frame changes.
we can only wait and see, some may need more convincing due to past beliefs
The new Goro is fucking legit. I dont think id say top 10 but he is not a joke anymore. His run speed was slightly improved, b12u2 no longer whiffs, u1 is dare i say the nest anti crossup normal in the game now and leads to a juggle and is good aa so goro aint free to jumperz anymore. He also has a new mixup in dragon fangs and all variations got another string that can be canceled into punch walk.No Order: Everyone but Goro.
i said has a kit close to it, just personal opinion, i don't think he is S, but could be strong A++How can you say for sure that Takeda is not S-tier/top ten/upper echelon doe?

Is this just war God or is it all variations?Kotal's new buffs are fucking STUPID. He's top 10 to me now, he's completely ridiculous. I'm probably biased since I play the best one every day... but still.
Shinnok is overrated now, he *may* be top ten still, but he's not better than Kitana who barely has any votes. And Jax is really underrated right now. He's amazing.
My top ten is
Predator
Lao
Kitana
Erron
Kotal
Jax
Cassie
Tanya
Dvorah
Quan
no order
Johnny promising fighter. He requires more time than many others...People sleeping on A-List, he has less votes than Kenshi lol.
Multiple +15 - +20 cancels go a very long way.
Now he got a good buff. I think his place now 10-12 top list.. But time will give the answer to this questionZero automatic top 5 after huge patch?? Anyone else think so?

If Kung Jin, Johnny, and Liu Kang are all low tier now, then this game is insanely balanced.Based on the votes at the time of this post. This is how the community ranks the characters.

I purposely skipped #5 and #26 due to a tie.
Yeah I was looking and thinking damn! Is this forreal?If Kung Jin, Johnny, and Liu Kang are all low tier now, then this game is insanely balanced.
It's alucard. He plays War God and Sun God. Both are great.Is this just war God or is it all variations?
Sun God has most buffs but still lacks armor to be as scary as war god in neutral.
Does he play sun God or blood God?
Yeah this doesn't work. No one voted for Kung Jin or Scorpion or Cage because they don't think they're top 10.Based on the votes at the time of this post.

why would tanya be up in top 3 now? her pressure was nerfed, you can easily escape it now can't you?Id say my top 3 are
1. Tanya
2. Predator
3. Quan Chi
After that its a bit of a toss up, but I think those are universally considered the best right now
Likewise.im surprised by the lack of votes for ermac
