Hmm, I'd class myself as intermediate, people are more aware of what some fighters can do than me so i'll contribute my opinion on some tiers but no ratings
I agree with Vulcan completely on scorpion, he just happens to be a popular choice among new players
High Tier - Mileena, Smoke, Cyrax, Kitana, Shang Tsung, Kung Lao, Liu Kang, Freddy, Sindel, Nightwolf, Skarlet, Raiden
Mid - Scorpion, Sub Zero, Quan Chi, Noob, Rain, Kabal, Ermac, Sektor, Johnny Cage, Stryker, Kano
Low - Jade (as much as I love her), Sheeva, Jax, Sonya, Cyber-Sub Zero, Kenshi, Reptile, Baraka, Kratos
I'm sure other peoples experience will disagree with me, but this is roughly how i'd characterise them, my main 2 are Kitana and Rain, maybe my thoughts are swayed by my own experiences
oh man... I can tell you need more experience lol. Smoke, sindel, and Shang Tsung are not high tier.
Play my Jade sometime. I might change your mind. also.. Reptile... has made atleast top 8 at like every major tournament lately. he's definitely high tier.

Quan chi 11?
:rofl:
quan is just a very complicated and powerfull character in my opionion
too stacked in my mind
along with kung lao and noob (for spammers and noob)
I said noob is a spammer character
and I said, i beleive Quan Chi is the most complicated character to use and it takes skill, same with skarlett and good kung lao players
but i see how you misinterpeteated my oppinion. But i still think that Quan Chi, Kung Lao and Skarlett are stacked players, which im cool with because stacked players are always the hardest to master.
But for noob, ive played in tournys and online and ive never seen a skilled (Noob Saibot) player. I just havent, every body slides, up shadows, teleports and it can become a pain to defeat him. Also i believe i mentioned noobs and spammers in the Smoke lobby only (not counting this one) and I was talking about what good smoke players usually do, but alot of people have different ways they use characters, so its hard to sometimes place what a good player plans to do (so I dont talk about the pros as much)
Scorpion-5.5
Smoke-9 for begginers 6 for pros
Ermac-9 if you dont spam or noob with him
Noob-2
Baraka-8.9
Reptile-7/8
Rain-10 hes a well balanced player
Sub Zero-8
cYBER sUB-9
Kung Lao-10 see rain
Liu Kang-7
Johnny Cage-6 for begginers 9 for pros
Sindel-Not sure never fought her/never played as her
Kitana-9/10
Night Wolf- 1 for begginers 8/9 for pros
Millena-6
Jade-2
Cyrax-9/10
Sektor-1.5
Sonya- 7.5
Jax-5
Kano- 0 for begginers 10.5 for pros
Stryker- 8
Sang Tsung- 8
Kabal-8.5
Raiden-4
Quan Chi-11
Sheeva-2
Skarllet-11
Kenshi-9
Freddy-4
Raiden a 2? Sorry but what have you been smoking every time I see a decent player on KOTH play Raiden they're practically unbeatable (until another decent player uses Raiden to copy them or another extremely high tier character like Cyrax) with easy to pull off 30-40% midscreens hard to punish teleports.
while the finger work isn't hard, you still have to think 3-4 steps ahead of your opponent with noob to beat them. He may use his strong tools alot, but it just so happens its his zoning tools.
For instance Kung lao relies on spin on anti air, and his lows and quick strings to land combos. (Occasionally using his overhead to condition) He has a cycle he goes through just like Noob saibot does, Kung lao is just flashier.
Starting to believe Noob saibot will never get the respect he deserves from this community.
