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?
Sektor had a teleport uppercut infinite in yellow disc. Aside form that, his teleport uppercut was ridiculously fast to the point it was virtually impossible to zone him. His homing missles had barely any recovery and could be spammed like no tomorrow for easy lock down and offense. Kitana had infinites every time she touched you. She could continuously throw air fans over and over to infinite you. Baraka's blade spin was braindead damage, two of them did 50%+. He had an infinite in his weapon. He also had a blade fury infinite. Mileena could roll you over and over for maximum damage which was one of the easiest combos ever. She also had solid zoning and was almost impossible to zone due to the combination of roll and teleport drop kick.
You finally stopped using that @

I think some of you should start listening to IP addresses instead of randomly accusing me of being certain members. I think you've all lost your privilege to excuse me of someone ever since I was harassed on months end for allegedly being Compbros and then another time where I got banned for no reason other than because Derptile signed up on TYM with the account name "REO" and players were adamant in claiming they "thought it was me".
What made the top tiers in MK1 good? Also, Sareena not #1 in Armageddon? Smells like downplaying.
Sareena is number one in netplay where her knives are very hard to deal with and skull bash is safe. Off-line her knives aren't as crucifying and her skull bash is full combo punishable on block. She lacks safety and
Sonya had a leg grab infinite. She could also punish virtually everything on block with leg grab. Put two and two together and that's what makes her number one.
Johnny Cage could punish just about everything on block with Shadow Kick. He had good corner combos and decent zoning. Liu Kang pretty much did what Johnny Cage did but was a tad bit worse in the regard.
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.
Basically I'm trying to take around 1/4th of the roster (give or take a few spots) and just place the best characters in numerical order in one brief lump. But you're right in that if this was a realistic tier list you would not see me putting characters like Johnny Cage and Liu Kang next to Sonya (MK1) as top tier, or in that example of MKD you gave. Those are all specifics that I think wouldn't look too good in this kind of small presentation for each game.

R.E.O. What about Superman in MKDC?
Superman would be technically number one in MKvsDC if you played without community rules. The tier lists I put up are all factoring in the community agreed rules. I could probably make a separate tier list with no rules for some of the games like MKA, MKvsDC, etc. etc.
To get everyone to agree for some of these games, you would need specific tier lists for Online, Off-line, Rules, and No-Rules.
(and different console versions of course)
