people are really sleeping on johnny cage stun double
No 50/50s, semi decent pokes. Slow movement, slow teleport, slow projectiles etc.Kung Lao doesn't have a single weakness and gets Predator damage for a bar and better damage meterless than plenty of characters get for a bar. I have no idea what they were thinking with him
That's a fun way to spell Shinnok. Honestly mate, Kung Lao is indeed cancer, but at least he CAN be zoned. Kung Lao is overwhelming, definitely. I think Kung Lao's damage could be toned down, but atm, Shinnok is just ridicolous. I laugh every time I hear someone claim "omg, shinak is only top 10 - top 5 is tu much". But yea, both fighters are absolutely terrorizing to fightKung Lao doesn't have a single weakness and gets Predator damage for a bar and better damage meterless than plenty of characters get for a bar.

No 50-50s isnt a weakness, Id take EX spin over 50-50s anyday. Semi decent pokes? Spin beats any attempt at counter poking so hes going to win the poking war regardless and has amazing advancing mid strings that lead into his autopilot block pressure. Slow movement? Instant air divekick begs to differ. Slow teleport? Give me a break, its a teleport wih 3 options out of it, one of which is overhead combo starter and the other an unblockable, that isnt a weakness, thats just another tool he has. Just because a move isnt as good as EX spin doesnt make it weak, let alone a weakness to the character. Can I start adding "no teleport" the the list of Ferra Torr weaknesses? Slow projectile? Zoning isnt a thing in this game, Id much rather have a MID projectile you can control to get jumpers all day, its being able to chip them out that countsNo 50/50s, semi decent pokes.

Shinnok is an honorable mention for a character without a weakness for sure, but Kung Lao takes if for having divekick, spin, and EX spin among other things.That's a fun way to spell Shinnok.

...and still one the best in the game lolNo 50-50s isnt a weakness, Id take EX spin over 50-50s anyday. Semi decent pokes?

lol at "slow teleport"No 50/50s, semi decent pokes. Slow movement, slow teleport, slow projectiles etc.
It is slow but depending on the height if it's timed at the lowest part of his jump it can be quite fastlol at "slow teleport"
Impostor isn't fucking S+ tier lmfaoThere are a few characters not listed that can make a strong case for top 10. I am lucky enough to play some of the best players in the country. In my opinion (and its only an opinion) I think the following are the strongest. The game is only months old and the meta is sure to change, things will be found to change matchups, et cetera
S+ (in no order) (in common? loopable pressure)
Kung Lao (tempest, buzz saw)
Shinnok (bone shaper and imposter)
Quan Chi (summoner)
A+ (in no order)
A-list cage (there are only a few people that understand why yet)
Predator (hunter)
Raiden
D'Vorah
Erron Black
Lui Kang (same as a-list, high execution but has block infinites) (dragon fire)
Tanya (kobu)
Bone shaper is... in a few matchups where imposter steals something that can loop them... it is S+ and he gets a top 3 vortex in the game. but in some matchups he steals stupid stuff... then imposter is just another character with the best teleport in the game.Impostor isn't fucking S+ tier lmfao
S+ = Kabal tier. No character in MKX is even remotely close to that, let alone fucking Impostor lol.Bone shaper is... in a few matchups where imposter steals something that can loop them... it is S+ and he gets a top 3 vortex in the game. but in some matchups he steals stupid stuff... then imposter is just another character with the best teleport in the game.
i guess i mean s+ tier in terms of top tier in mkx. i understand what you are saying though. but in this game, the char i put in s+ are well above most of the cast (with some exceptions matchup wise)S+ = Kabal tier. No character in MKX is even remotely close to that, let alone fucking Impostor lol.
