im not taking anything away from soup or dink,their great players,i love quan chi and the rune trap is godlike but c'mon man the character is pretty bad,you can poke in between all of strings and he's kinds fucked if he doesnt win the first round,he also has some horrendous matchups.
I don't doubt that one bit...wish you could have.
Uphill battle vs kenshi =/= unviable
no disrespect to the players in angola but didnt neo russell go over there and body everyone with jade? well except eddie wang.im not saying eddie wang isnt good im just wondering how good the rest are.
This is what I was saying earlier.... there is only four characters IMO that are viable solo: Lao, Kenshi, Sonya, Kabal.... basiclly anybody with more than one 3-7 MU or one 2-8 MU cannot be considered viable (at a major) alone.
what about cyrax?
Ya know I was considering Cyrax... not to well versed on his MU's however.... Haven't really seen a Rax dominate so I left him out...
im not either but he is a top 4 character and i cant think of anyone that really rapes him,plus 80% for one bar has to make him viable alone.
kitana beats rain pretty bad
He isn't top 4.... He is #6.... I know smoke handles him pretty well...
agreed man id say thats 7-3 kitana,id imagine kenshi beats him really bad too.
I cant really comment, i dont know the match, Rain definitely isnt out of the money if he faces a kitana player though.
lol id forgotten about smoke,yeah he definetly loses that one. who do you have above cyrax then? i disagree with him being 6,one mistake and its over.
Kabal, Sonya, Kung Lao, Kenshi, and Freddy... I would also make the argument that Smoke > Cyrax depending on how consistantly the smoke is landing resets.... Also you have to consider that without meter Cyrax is not scary at all.... I'm pretty sure he has the lowest BnB in the game without meter...
Not saying he isn't viable... just curious if he could win a major solo.... like I said, not to well versed with Cyrax MU chart
Really? oh wow.... Care to elaborate? Maybe I just haven't been playing any great Cyrax players...
According to recent tournament results cyrax is better than smoke and Freddy. Cyrax has meterless resets. Breaker combos. Unbreakable combos. A command grab. 2 corner infinites on Shang and sektor. He's beyond tournament viable
dude wtf? cyrax scares the shit out of me,those bombs are annoying as fuck and dont even get me started on the stupid grab,he always seems to have meter though,thats the problem.no way man cyrax is better than smoke,although smoke is very good.
meter drain ex net, 80%+ resets and unbreakables, must make a lot of bad matchups not that bad. one of the reasons mk has so much bad matchups is because of the breaker. the breaker makes a good guess less significant compared to other fighting games.
play the great ones then.
lol i sometimes think he's worse,at least with kenshi you can make a mistake and not get punished for 80%
