Lol N64 MKT. I forgot how garbage that was.


UMK3 for sure is right. Smoke and Ermac are about dead even. I forgot how good Kabal was in that.

Makes sense then why scorpion was low tier for MK9 :p

It's crazy that every character that was top tier in MK Gold wasn't even in vanilla MK4. Any reason Sektor, Baraka, Mileena and Kitana were so good in that?

Unintentional Tier Whore Follow me @TruthRM
What made the top tiers in MK1 good? Also, Sareena not #1 in Armageddon? Smells like downplaying.

Sektor could get, like, 40% damage on ya just from tele-punches. For real, you'd just be sitting there, watching him teleport over and over before the "Max Damage" thing kicks in hahaha

I'm guessing that's why.

HAHAHA agree, sareena is the #1 in MKA
Sareena was only the best online. Her Skull Bash was completely safe and led to 30% unbreakable or whatever the number was.

@R.E.O. How are you distinguishing "tiers"? I agree with your ordering for the most part; but I don't think I'd lump a lot of these characters into the same tier. MKD for example: I wouldn't consider Scorpion, Kobra, or Darrius top tier although I'd still have them in the 4-7 spots similar to you.
