well i dont really know but i have fought against somme noob saibot players and they all seem to suck with noob is he hard to play or does he just suck?
 
What I hate the most so far, right before a Noob saibot spammers, is a Smoke spammer.

The lag makes it so that if you pick a zoner character vs. a non-teleporter character and spam, the odds are in your favor.
Unless I play Kung Lao, I've got some trouble dealing with them. (not knowing other characters well enough to efficiently use them) Well, you've got to block all the time which isn't as fun as non-spam matches can be.
 
I haven't played online, so I'll just say that the person who is the worst to me is Jax. I cannot win with him
 
Baraka def isn't low tier, I've converted him to my main, his mix ups can be hella vicious. Just because he don't have those glamor combos don't mean crap. He has good specials, setups, and mixups... everything a pressure character needs. Though i'm not the best, I've been honing my skills and I'm liking him more and more. In most cases, I think my Baraka is formidable even for high zoning characters like Noob.

Unfortunately in Noob and Smoke's case, those 'spammers' are playing them right, even if they don't know it, so learn to counter it.

Worst IMO would have to be.... Jax I think, maybe Sheeva, the grapple characters seem a little lacking in the damage department IMO
 
baraka can be really annoying to fight becouse of his specials really hard to get in on him and start combos but i havnt seen any really damaging combos with him and ive fought some good jax players online and if you know how to play him he seem alright but kano moves are so stupid and boring has any one faced kano online?
 
Baraka ..... he has a lot of combo attacks, 14, but just only one juggle starter, that you cannot take much advantage of it ..... without using chop-chop or X-Ray, never saw a 12,13 hits combos of Baraka .....

He has plenty of short combinations in his arsenal, but none ultra deadly dangerous combo sequence to be feared. I am analyzing in technical way, because Baraka, as character, is pretty cool, he is one of my favourites.

How's 49% on x ray? haha, it's not too shabby. He's a pressure player, LOTS of resets, set ups, and mixups, only reason you don't compare him to a say Johnny Cage is because absence of juggle, but that's being addressed, and so is damage... soon :)

Baraka is VICIOUS, just takes a lot of execution so he's a little difficult to play online. His damage will be upped and he has tremendous mixup and frame trap potential. One problem is his inability to for a proper punish, uppercut is almost hte only thing you can do for your measly 12%, but that'll be changed w/ the addition of juggle to Slices, gonna open up some SERIOUS potential. Though I'm admittedly not the best pressure player or anything like that, but even when I get someone in the corner it's a bad day for them :)

As far as Kano goes, he has excellent specials, though I can't do combos w/ him worth a crap haha. Then again, not ALL characters have to have those super tremendous combos of opportunity, if I can consistently land a 20-25er, I have a great chance to win.

That being said, these are your guys' opinions, I'd be happy to show you my Baraka and see if it at least slightly changes your mind.
 
Its a toss up between Baraka and Sheeva. So far, I haven't found either one to be especially useful. Hell, even CSZ has some halfway decent applications.
