I have finally found my ideal playing style and that's fast paced juggling with characters such as Ermac, Smoke and Johnny Cage. Just thought I'd see if anyone has a character they enjoy juggling with, so I can give them a test drive :)
 
Check out Kitana, she's got some mean and fun juggles, trying to main her now....

Jump kick, fan throw ---> jump kick, fan throw, keeps them up for awhile,
or you can jump kick, fan throw ---> square punch
or in corner, jump kick, fan, dash forward, uppercut, or do her jump forward kick instead of uppercut, etc...

Seems like a lot of possibilities with her, but I need to train more with her on this...
 
Kano, Mileena & Sindel Tag juggle combos are my favorite so far but the higher hit/dmg wall combos are nothing consistent for me outside of training mode & then on top of combo breakers I doubt I would really attempt them in matches. I need to get a dazzler or pvr & start recording though for real.

I think by themselves though Sindel, Mileena and Smoke are really good for juggling. Far as dmg though goes with combos Sindel is straight murder.

I found that Kitana, Nightwolf, Sonya. Johnny Cage, Sindel, Jade, Mileena, and Jax are really easy to juggle with. Try them out if you want.
 
I'm gonna have to disagree with the Johnny Cage being a good juggle character. In the demo he was, and he was great at it. In the game however, if you concentrate on juggling with him you won't get very far. His juggles even maxed out with an enhanced move barely reach the 30%'s (unless you're in a corner of course). Not to mention you can't incorporate his xray with his combos like say, Ermac.

I'd say the best jugglers are by far Kung Lao, Smoke, Nightwolf, Ermac, and Kitana.

You're very smart. Yes, I agree Reptile is great but this thread gave me the impression that we were listing the easiest and best jugglers. Let's face it, to juggle with Reptile you have to have your timing downpacked. If you manage to pull it off though, yes Reptile is a monster juggler.
 
I haven't really tried Reptile, Kitana or Kung Lao much. I'll give them a shot

BTW I forgot to mention, Liu Kang has some monster juggles, that are easy as hell as well!

Well this thread is for the best characters, not the easiest. ;)

My vote goes to Reptile. I haven't used him a whole lot, but I see serious potential with juggling hoes using his balls and spit.

Ahh, ok. Then Johnny shouldn't even be on the list, haha.

I can do a 42% midscreen combo with Reptile.

With or without Xray?

I absolutely love Liu and Lao for juggling. I especially like that you can juggle after their Xrays. I don't know if they're the best, but I like them. Nightwolf is great for this, too.

Wow, that's pretty awesome. All of the combos I've taught myself with Smoke are midscreen, I have a 17 hit- 40+ midscreen :)
I've only pulled it off two times though lol

Are you using a controller or a stick? I'm asking because I was practicing with Smoke and I hurt my thumb lol.

Once you get the timing down you can easily do 40% midscreen combos. He's a beast but I don't recommend him if you play with a controller D:
 
I gotta go with reptile. By far my best combo character. Can easily achieve 50+% midscreen with x-ray. 45% without. His elbow dash juggles are hard to time correctly, but if you can get them down he does some scary high damage. I can regularly pull off his 3,2,1~ElbowDash,JP,SlowFB,3,2~FastFB,3,2,1~AcidSlide. Also his EX-Acid Ball launches for some more juggle combo possibilities.

Actually, you can use Johnny X-Ray to start a combo. If you dash really fast after the X-Ray, you will be able to hit the opponent with B4 and do whatever you want after. I think he is really a good juggle character.
