What character would shoot up to top tier with 1 little change?

[Gesture Required Ahead]

The question is simple enough, 1 little priority change in a normal or a special and BAM! Top tier.

I think Jax would if F41 hit mid.
Sub Zero EN clone disabled armor.

 

[Invincibeast]

Rain, with a better dash or d3

 

[quandaghost]

Scorpion if his D4 enabled him to pressure afterwards. Sektor if given Armor

 

[Zyphox]

liu kang could cancel into dragon stance and had lower hitbox he would be top 5

 

[Plop]

Mileena if roll was safe or hit low

I'd play him (lets be honest I would main this man) He would be a male sonya

 

[9_Lives]

Sektor without tiny T-Rex arms.

 

[9_Lives]

I'd play him (lets be honest I would main this man) He would be a male sonya

With a parry...mother of god...

 

[quandaghost]

With a parry...mother of god...

A parry that can give full punishes with a bar..... Instant top 2

 

[AYSAMO]

With a parry...mother of god...

Even if he stayed the same, but his parry was on CSZ's level, he'd honestly be number 1 LBSH.

Mileena if roll was safe or hit low

Back when I first played the game and my main was Mileena I thought it was unfair that roll didn't hit low lol.

 

[Plop]

Back when I first played the game and my main was Mileena I thought it was unfair that roll didn't hit low lol.

lol yeah same here

 

[quandaghost]

I always thought it was weird it didn't. You know what though to be honestly any of the top 15 with a minor buff could go top 5

 

[Lumpymoomilk]

Sheeva low grab would work from fullscreen.

 

[greguu]

Raiden, if his teleport safe, he would be stupid good lol.

Why?
How much of an advantage would it bring "canceling into dragon stance"?
His dragon stance options aren't nearly as good as Sonya's. He has 2 options that are 0 on block, one is a low and the other is a neutral launcher.
The rest of them are heavily punishable.

Being able to cancel into dragon stance might give him the ability to do more damage in combo's, but that's pretty much it.
A much bigger buff would be instant parry or 6 frame D1, his weakness is getting pressured.

 

[Jivan Karapetian]

Cage would be the best character in the game if his projectile is one of the faster ones, or if his EN nutpunch was safe on block.

 

[PPJ]

ermac armor on ex lift or even ex push

DS cancels would plug up holes in his pressure game. Now pressing a button after certain options = possibly launched.

Reptile - Armor on dash.

 

[MashPotatoTower]

Sindel if ex scream had armor

 

[Madzin]

Armor on Ex Tele? lol no
Armor on EX Upknee = yes!

 

[MashPotatoTower]

Kratos, just legalize him

 

[Rampage254]

Stryker getting more advantage off his strings when pressuring with gun cancels. (He wouldn't shoot up to top tier, but he could shoot up to mid/ upper-mid tier.

 

[Owerbart]

Ermac with armor on ex-moves would be the shit.

Or nightwolf with F3 being low and getting some OTG's like Smoke's from EX lightning.

 

[dribirut]

if reptiles standing 3 would be 10frames instead of 13 everyone would be fucked
