MK1 Tier List
Hello all I'm going to be starting Tier Lists, And the main reason is i've been playing MK1 for a long time (since it debuted) and I always said that a tier list was in motion for a special game like this. Okay here it goes My very first Tier List (Made up of Facts and Opinions):
1. Sonya
2. Johnny Cage
3. Raiden
4. Liu Kang
5. Kano
6. Scorpion
7. Sub-Zero
For numbers # 6 and # 7 is the teleport and the spear advantages from Scorpion, other than that Sub-Zero and Scorpion have the same moves, same speed for Roundhouse, Sweep is atricious, one of the worst of the game. Sonyas the queen (as you can see lol), she proves that with her aaHP, HP, Leg Grabx2, Sweep (A made up combo of a combo from www.mksecrets.net). Sonya has a POWERFUL roundhouse kick that can reach people like Johnny Cafe and Raiden and Liu from 2 inches distance. Johnny Cage has a better sweep then the ninjas, and liu Kang, but kinda lacks from the High Kick, unless you're an defensive character, you're gonna really want to focuse more on Low blow, Sweep, aaLP, Shadow Kick (Personally, I would say Fireball but try to experiment between the 2)
This is my list, any errors or anything please come to me and PM or write it here and I'll try to explain more thoroughly.

I'm not going to agree/disagree on anything for this list, but just warning you a head of time, be prepared for people to argue back saying they don't agree with certain characters.
They tried to create a tier list for MK vs. DC and it literally turned into a huge flame war. Just saying.

I personally agree with you, thanks for the 1 up.

It's ironic that Sonya Blade and Johnny Cage are at the top while Scorpion and Sub-Zero are at the bottom
Because I remember going to arcades and playing Mortal Kombat, and lots of people used Scorpion and Sub-Zero and I never saw anyone use Sonya.

Mostly correct, although Liu Kang should be switched with Raiden. I know the flip kick is awesome on the Lord of Hats, but Kang is more useful than that.

From what I read from people who seem to know the ins and outs of Mortal Kombat 1. your tier list seems almost right except, like already mentioned, from what I hear, Liu Kang is above Raiden and I also read from a guy that seems to know his stuff that Sub-Zero is above Scorpion, so you might want to check up on that.
