Which character(s) were you wrong about?

[Ares_Supreme]

In the months following the release of the much anticipated Mortal Kombat X, our opinions about the beloved characters it encompasses have changed quite a bit.

Now that EVO 2015 and number of other hard-fought tournaments are behind us, which character(s) did you jump the gun on? Here is your chance to admit your sleight of tongue and make amends by chastising yourself before the community digs into the graveyard and blows you into smithereens for speaking too soon.

I'll start:

Liu Kang
I initially thought this character was weak, this was mostly as a result of taking a bit longer to learn this character than many others. Boy was I wrong. Definitely a solid character--at least mid-tier status.

Tremor
After yesterday we can probably all agree that we weren't exactly right about abysmal Tremor. I won't call anyone out personally but you get my drift. Still, I feel a few slight buffs are in order, but as I have learned in the past, keep your mouth shut until you flush the character out more.

Scorpion
I thought Inferno Scorpion was overpowered. Enough said.

I think a lot of ppl were wrong about takeda I remember after the kombat cast everyone thought he was going to be ridiculously op. Also kung jin was the least popular as well

 

[RNLDRGN]

I initially thought Sub Zero was crazy good. His clone seemed ridiculous and while it still can be in some matchups, disappearing after a blocked attack makes it a lot more manageable--albeit at the expense of Sub Zero's strength as a character.

I also initially thought Goro was decent, but the more I play with him the worse he seems to be, lol.

 

[Daemantalo]

Kung Lao. In the beginning I thought he was legitimately low-mid tier.

Good one! I initially thought he was pretty mid-tier. He felt much slower than his MK9 counterpart sans the run button.

Mileena
Due to her wild/unpredictable personality, I thought she would have been one of a few pressure/mix up characters. That was squashed quick

Story of my life.

 

[jaythatruth]

I was definitely wrong about Takeda. I definitely though Shirai Ryu was easily top ten beginning of the year. Oops!! I was wrong about Liu Kang also, thought he was just "okay" until I played someone who knew the block string infinite

 

[darkmoonlight_va]

I thought that Assassin Kitana was going to be the most played variation and I thought that Tanya was bad because she lacked meterless damage XD

 

[GAV]

Day One - I thought Ferra/Torr would be a popular tournament character.

Anybody who says they knew Erron Black would be good based on his reveal video is full of shit

Deathstroke 2.0 if I remember correctly

I thought he'd be good just based on the caltrops. It looked like a versatile move that basically forced you to play his game.

It totally did caltrops had me like "DAMNNN THEY STOP YOU FROM RUNNING?!" But they didn't show his overhead or low or 21122 nobody even knew he had those until sonic fox used him at fatal 8

Tanya Post-Patch

You have officially won the thread. Prepare for stoning.

I was wrong about Dualist being dogshit, he's a'ight, but still a poverty dragon's fire.

I also originally thought(for a day or two) that Cybernetic's B1 nerf wasn't so bad, boy was I wrong...

 

[exflyingbooty]

Kung jin, i thought he was just gonna be a good character and not the gorilla he is

Well, my thing with dualist, when I first saw it I was all "Martian Manhunter here I come!!!" only to end up like "Oh...".

 

[usedcarsalesmang]

Shinnok. When the game first came out I thought he was bottom 5, but then later he turned out to be the best in the game.

 

[BLACKRENEGADE]

I was wrong about Tanya. I thought she wouldn't be a complete hoe.
I was also wrong about Subzero. I thought he was gonna last forever.

 

[Koor]

I thought Jacqui would be a pretty devastating character. From the early photos and reveal, she seemed to have alot of great tools for dealing with many different situations. Welp LOL! But while i dont think shes unplayable, she cant be left alone by NRS in her current state and expect to survive in this game.

 

[ImperatrixSindel]

I thought Jacqui was really great. Not so much. I wish they'd give her some attention in one of the upcoming patches -- she's really fun to play, but she is really suffering out there.

 

[EMPR_MURK]

I thought flame fist liu was booty prepatch...

and he was until post patch.

 

[EntropicByDesign]

I'm wrong a lot.

Kung lao. At release I felt he was weak, despite his fantastic tools.

Sub. I thought he was stupid, broken tier OP. MKX is my first fighting game, so his clone utterly wrecked me, because I just didn't understand the game. However,I never asked for a nerf or whined about it, beyond a very very deep sigh, whenever someone picked him. Lol.

Takeda and F/T. I felt like both were very strong.
