Wasn't Reptile considered a higher tier character in UMK3, or am i misinformed?

 

[BillStickers]

MKX Top Tier:

1. Meat
2. Scorpion
3. Delia
4. Shinnok
5. Cassie Cage

Never thought about tiers till I played Mk9. This thread makes me want to revisit the old mks now. But I must say that Darrius on MK Deception was fun to play with.

MKT Noob

Easily one of the most broken characters to grace a MK roster.
Disabler-->Combo--->Teleport-->repeat. WIN

He looks like he's about to slap some serious shit.

 

[Eminent]

I only played MK1, MK2, and then MK9 so I'm am not familiar with all of the other characters that came in between. I'm worried the next MKX reveal is going to be some MK4 character and I won't know them. Is there somewhere that shows all the other MK characters (likely to return) and their signature moves or something? Maybe a video? @R.E.O.

From what we've seen so far, there's a speculation that Fujin and Tanya might be in the new MK.

 

[Tom Brady]

MK4 was..

1. Tanya
2. Reptile
3. Scorpion
4. Sub-Zero

You had the right 4, just off on # 2 and 3. Reptile's weapon pushes him above Scorpion.

 

[Eddy Wang]

Seems like scorpion and sub zero have had a good history (which they deserve), PLSSS have scorpion and sub zero top tier in MKX!!!!

#YYEEAPPP

 

[Phosferrax]

@R.E.O. How about a low tier equivalent?

 

[Tom Brady]

Reptile is #1 in UMK2, unless his Invisibility has been fixed.
He has a faster walk, quick and slow Forceballs, Slide does more damage, and he stays Invisible while blocking projectiles.
From #12 to #1!

Sub-Zero

 

[Gesture Required Ahead]

Dairou man, he was so unoriginal. Rustles my jimmies that he was top tier.

@General M2Dave zoning academy

 

[ZigZag]

Waiting for Kotal Khan to make the list for MKX.

@General M2Dave zoning academy

I only played his dairou a few times but boy was it infuriating

 

[IMakeItL00kC00L]

No Raiden makes me . #Raiden4MKXTopTier

 

[mortal_jason]

Sub-Zero

Sub is #11 in MK2, and certainly not top tier in UMK2.
He didn't receive enough improvements to move him up that far.

 

[STRYKIE]

@R.E.O. How about a low tier equivalent?

I can cover some of them here if you like. Admittedly IDK as many bottom tier characters for MK4/Gold, Armageddon or MKDC as REO provided top tiers for sure, but the rest I'm in in the know on.

I am skeptical about both kotal and quan's stationary buff abilities, i see applicable uses, but generally in fighting games speed in terms of projectiles and characters and mobility tend to over-ride those things. I see quan using his runes for counter-zoning and such, but i am suspect about those. It might not matter because kotal's footsie tools and such could be real dominant

Are you skeptical about their effects or about being able to viably execute those moves without being killed for it in a match?

the latter

 

[MKF30]

What, no MK SM tier list?

I actually liked Dariou's design, he was cool in concept a mercenary that fought somewhat like a samurai. I think he would have been better looking if he had a samurai mask literally....still much better than Drahmin, Mokap, Meat, Movado, Kobra, Kira, Hsu Hao and Darrius....lol

Seems Scorp and Sub are consistent over time as being good.

Kabal too I know some will hate me for saying this, but I actually want Kabal to stay dead. lol Plus can't have an MK without Sub or Scorp

I can tell you very quickly why he will only be mid tier at best is because I'm going to play him.

Kotal Kahn Setup

Combo into beam of light into crossover block string into command grab

beam of light hurts opponent for first throw section.... heals him in 2nd

That is the ONLY thing I can think of right now.

I've yet to figure out how Quans stuff is gonna even work in a match if he has to stan din the SPOT for it to work.

If he can simply pass through the spot... then you'll have something.

 

[ExoticAbuse]

Jade should be on the MKA list.

 

[ChaosTheory]

That would be my first concern as well. MK's in the past had these type of power-up or buff moves and a lot of them ended up not being useful because of that reason. Quan Chi in MK9 is a perfect example. That said, I have to believe that they're correcting that sort of thing in MKX. They seem to be addressing more and more little issues like that as they go.

And especially if an entire variation is based off of these kind of moves. I don't remember exactly... Quan Chi can do Trance and then summon his bat, right? Not sure about Trance and then doing his buffs. But they mentioned knocking your opponent down in the corner, setting up his armor buff, and going to work, etc. as a specific strategy. They must have in mind certain moves, strings, whatever that give you the opportunity to get those buffs in.

Could be something like Kotal cutting a juggle-combo's damage short by ending in a particular move that allows him to call a totem or slash his chest.
