Who do you think are the best tag team partners in MK9?
My personal opinion has to be Lui Kang and Scorpion!
What are yours?

LOL! LOVE IT!(saw this on twitter)
kung lao are ermac
tag team name, overpowered.
LOL! LOVE IT!
Got another one:
Shang Tsung and Quan Chi
"Deadly Alliance"
Sub-Zero and Ermac. I picked both of the characters up individually and loved playing them. Sub-Zero has been my main from the start and Ermac was the next character I tried that really felt comfortable. They're my two strongest characters and my two favorite to play as so it was only logical to try them out as a Tag-Team and it's seemed to work for me.
They both control pace and spacing really well, they can punish mistakes really hard, and the amount of frustration they can inflict upon the other guy is pretty solid which leads to more mistakes to punish. I love feeling like the match is going at my pace. It can be fast and frenetic or a more slow, countering match but if I'm the one who leads the dance, then I feel good about my chances.
I've subbed in Kano for Ermac to some success. I'm not as good with Kano yet, so that's holding me back but the overall philosophy seems sound. Kano can zone with his knives and Kano Ball (of all varieties lol) has some solid mix-ups and can really put some hurt in up-close. He's another guy who can control tempo but he's a slightly more aggressive fighter than Sub-Zero and Ermac and that can be a nice change of pace at times.
could people go into more depths of why they think a team is Good?.
No problem. I main Kitana and she can destroy spammers like Scorpion and Smoke. I can zone with her and punish anybody that teleports. Mileena can put the pressure on many opponents and is very unpredictable. With Kitana & Mileena, I'm 105-18 in Ranked Tag and in the top 100 in the leaderboards.
thanks for going into detail lol makes for better conversation.
Do you think Ermac and Subzero is good to have two "zone types" on the same team. I know subzero can be a little rush down ish to some success. Ermac's 3,1,2 loop is pretty good when you land the hit.
But are you sure they are a good "team" or just good because you play those 2 characters and are good with them lol.
It's hard to tell right now if teams are actually good because they work well together and they actually compliment eachother's weaknesses. or just because they are your "2 best characters"
like I can see subzero setting a freeze, and you switch to ermac for bigger damage combos. (didn't he get nerfed on damage?) Ect. Or hey. Remember that subzero unblockable reset? couldn't you freeze, then switch to ermac and unblockable reset with him instead? for GROSS damage?
ANYWAYS. why don't they do 2v2 TEAM side tournaments at these majors?
