Good, he needs it. Reptile tries so hard for his damage. also he's the most disappointing character in MKX in my opinion. I had hopes.

I've been really successful with Reptile. I've found him to be much more of a footsies character. He has great hitboxes on his moves. Like his advancing f2 or his low profile b3.

JDM's current Tier List -
this is a post from Corn's JDM -
not sure how about the placement of some..
Wanted to make a quick tier list for future reference or just to incite some kind of discussion on here.


Top Tier:

Raiden
Kung Jin
Erron Black
Quan Chi
Scorpion

High Tier
D'Vorah
Cassie Cage
Sonya Blade
Sub Zero
Kung Lao
Johnny Cage
Ferra/Torr
Shinnok
Kano

Mid Tier
Ermac
Kenshi (recently buffed so his position is awkward for me to place)
Takeda
Jacqui
Jax
Liu Kang
Kitana
Goro
Kotal Kahn

Low Tier
Reptile
Jason
Mileena

I don't know anything about Tanya yet, so I can't place her. But this is my general tier list for this game right now. Certain characters I'm iffy about (Goro, Jacqui, Jax, F/T, Shinnok) still.

-------

mileena has issues but no way is she last.!!!!!!
 
Mileena at the bottom? I would place her bottom mid tier. She needs a viable overhead (Meterless) that nets damage. F3 leads into 40%, but you can see it coming from miles away, and she only has one string that's +2 on block but hits high so you can just low block all day and not worry about it at all.

Honestly her neutral makes up for it though, an amazing B1,2 in all variations that's good for catching whiffs, a 7 frame roll that can punish a shit ton of unsafe strings on reversal and can lead into Oki for Mix ups and on top of that an Armor stuffing F1,2.

I think that she's low because not many people are representing her on a high level so they know nothing about her and I don't even know who JDM is.. Lol, soooo.
 
I'd switch out Mileena and Reptile for Jacqui and Kotal. I'm liking Tanya a lot right now. What do you all feel is Shinnok's best wake up attack?
 
Kotal has nice mixups and Jacqui can do consistent meterless 30+% from anywhere on the screen. Not to mention her zoning.

Shinnok's best wake up is Pillars, but enhance it on the final fireball because it leaves him at +24 on block so you get free pressure/Mix-up/throw. Whatever you opt out to do.

All the Low tier are characters that no one plays in tournament, because Cosner's Reptile can pick apart top Scorpion players in long sets and tournament. It's too early to make a list anyways because no one's trying to main other variations. Everyone dropped Buzzsaw Lao for Tempest and then a few days later, F0xy brought the Buzzsaw hype back showing that it's still a viable variation.
 
Hmm well, I'm thinking Jin needs a damage nerf and Scorpion is just absolutely f***ed. Has an ass load of resets and that is a big mess up on NRS's part. Scorpion, the noobiest of all noob characters in MK, is top tier.

That's true but my disappointments with him doesn't mean I'm saying he's a bad character. I just don't like his variations, a lot of his animations, his voice in game, and other things.
 
I'm really like Kotal and Shinnok atm, though Goro is still my most played character because I started with him, did loads of towers and maxed out at least two factions basically just playing as him. Shinnok is great fun - if a bit lacking in kombos. Love his variations, and he has some really easy brutalities which someone of my skill level certainly appreciates. :D

I'm curious to know how people actually rank characters in MK games, because whilst I can see that some may just seem naturally 'better' than others, I assume that between players of roughly equal skill, any character can do well. That said, I'd personally have thought that a high level Jax player would be able to do very well -- his normal punches seem to do shit loads of damage, he has some good specials, powerful and easy to do kombos, and in his Heavy Weapons variation you have a couple of really good zoning tools (and the LAW does great damage if it hits).
 
That tier list is completely inaccurate.

As for Scorpion, am I the only one who finds his Hellfire variation much more bothersome than his Inferno variation? It's bloody stupid.
 
So, I just maxed out Lin Kuei and got my No Loyalty achievement and the Dragon King set, but what stuff will I lose by switching back to White Lotus? I assume I'll have to get back up to L50 in them (that's fine) but what stuff will I lose? I've not been bothered until now because I knew I wanted to max out each faction, so I knew I'd have to lose stuff when you switch.

He has pretty strong pressure in this variation, I advise you to use assassin Kitana or Cover Ops Sonya. His pressure mainly consists of mid attacks so parries blow him up.
