Top 5 Under-rated/Slept-on Variations

[Mint]

I main shaolin jin and it works to my advantage so often because most people don't know what to expect

 

[KitanawantstheD]

Cutthroat Kano. Been cutting smiles on people's faces one match at a time

 

[The_Tile]

Honorable mentions to SD JC

I doubt that, he has so many holes.

I personally think that Ronin, Reptile except maybe Deceptive and definitely Cutthroat are all slept on.

 

[Name v.5.0]

Shaolin Jin
Stunt Double Cage
Mournful Kitana
Unbreakable SZ
Ethereal Mileena

 

[Jaiyson]

You're gonna have to explain Spectral Ermac

LOL This is the only variation that I have never seen ..not even on a casual level.. What makes it so bad anyways? I know Ermac can fly around and ahhh fly around some more lol..but that can come in handy I guess.. but I guess no one is willing to find tech with him.

 

[AZ MotherBrain]

D'Vorah- Brood Mother
Scorpion- Ninjitsu
Mileena- Ethernal
Kung Jin- Ancestral
Jax- Pumped Up

 

[The Farmer]

Shaolin Jin
Stunt Double Cage
Mournful Kitana
Unbreakable SZ
Ethereal Mileena

Gunslinger.............

 

[dwz_mk9]

My underrated are:
Hat Trick Lao
Special Forces Sonya
Kenjutsu Kenshi
Ninjutsu Scorpion
Sun God Kotal Kahn

 

[MrProfDrPepper]

Lasher Takeda as well.

 

[SM StarGazer]

Shotgu Jacqui. Mournful Kitana. Annnnnd all of Goro. Cant evenname his variations.

 

[Undergroundepict]

I don't see how any variation of Scorpion can be considered slept on.


Besides, I was under the impression that most Scorpion players switched to Ninjutsu after the 214 nerf and Ninjutsu buffs.

 

[DrFolmer]

Ferra/Torr's Lackey - that free armor and amazing d1.

Cutthroat - I can't seem to make it work sometimes but on paper it's a really solid variation. You can make some mean shit happen with the dash he has. Hard knockdown into free dmg buff proceded by 50/50 pressure.

 

[Doctor Future]

Easy (not in any order):

Ninjutsu Scorpion
Hat Trick Kung Lao
Warlock Quan Chi
Mystic Ermac
Sun God/Blood God Kotal Kahn

 

[Doctor Future]

I don't see how any variation of Scorpion can be considered slept on.


Besides, I was under the impression that most Scorpion players switched to Ninjutsu after the 214 nerf and Ninjutsu buffs.

Ninjutsu is much more work to win.

Only has a low starter. Overhead is kinda slow (f+4).

But, has solid damage without meter, and can play mind games.

However, I'd still put this version below Inferno & Hellfire.

 

[Jaiyson]

In this current version of MKXL - Which variations are still being slept on ?

 

[Dankster Morgan]

All Mileena
Unbreakable Sub
All Reptile
Hellfire Scorpion(probably the worst offender)
Displacer Raiden

 

[Nausea]

spectral ermac wtf are you on about? its legit shit and pointless

You're gonna have to explain Spectral Ermac

Lol spectral and ancestral are arguably 2 of the worst variations in the game. Both are cool, I especially like ancestral but I mean cmon.

Am I gonna have to start dishing out 10-0's or what?! Wtf is this?!

 

[Nausea]

Just look at this top tier tech

 

[Basic Stupidity]

I don't see how people think ethereals being slept on. I see her being used more than any other character in the game besides shinnok.

Characters being slept on
Displacer- he's way better than people say
Ronin- still good
Unbreakable sub- good but still pretty weak compared to grandmaster
Cutthroat- hard to see the overhead coming and small punish window with push back. Still very good.
Hellfire- better than is made out to be
Piercing mileena- still very solid and great zoning.
All reptile

 

[ShrekForXbox]

Leatherface (Killer)
Tremor (Metallic)
Jax (Pumped Up)
Kano (Cutthroat)
Johnny Cage (Fisticuffs)

NOTE: Some of this may be inaccurate, since these are mostly characters I rarely hear about, but I think might have a lot of potential or good players behind them.

 

[SaSSolino]

Necromancer Shinnok after this last patch

 

[Zionix]

Sorceror
Cyrax
Hellfire
Dragons breath


can't think of a 5th maybe master of storms

 

[rainuS]

sPyro Tanya, simply the best zoner in current game.

 

[ismael4790]

Leatherface (Killer)
Tremor (Metallic)
Jax (Pumped Up)
Kano (Cutthroat)
Johnny Cage (Fisticuffs)

NOTE: Some of this may be inaccurate, since these are mostly characters I rarely hear about, but I think might have a lot of potential or good players behind them.

Nobody was sleeping on Jax, he was considered good, now he is in a bad position since you can zone him just looking at him, with the loss off armor on dashpunch due to his recent bug.

Fisticuffs is ok now apart from not having a mid wakeup and his main tool having random whiffing issues. When he finally got his much needed exfistbump, they made him free on knockdown. Sad. Not slept on though.

 

[STB Shujinkydink]

I am dumbfounded by every who posts warlock. Stop. That variation is easily bottom 5.

The two I think are seriously underrated is Pretty Lady Leatherface and unbreakable sub zero. Id love to say master of storms but that variation is flashy but not too effective
