Talking in terms of playability, who do you think that was the best character in MK4? That means, take off the story, look and fatalities...


I think that the best char in mk4 is Reiko, by far. He's got an easy and nice combo (er, but well, who doesn't in MK4? Shurikens, HK, HK, Flip Kick, HK, Shurikens. I like it because it's simple to pull off, cause the HK is used 4 times in a row), two different teleports that reveal to be very useful and the shurikens, that let the oponnent inconscient for a little space of time.

Another guy that's pretty useful is Liu Kang, he's got the cheapest combo in the whole game (HK, HK, Flying Kick, HK, HK, Fling Kick...), the best fireballs (three different heights) and when playing against a CPU Liu Kang in the Ultimate difficulty the computer becomes cheap as hell.

Sonya's also good. The best thing about her is that she's the best character to play against those guys who keep jumping. When it happens, you can either use the Bycicle Kick, the Square Wave Punch or the Air Throw. I think this is the best Sonya ever seen in a MK game.

What are you guys thoughts on that?

Everyone in the game is good. Too good. The combos are way too easy.

My favorite combo to do is HP, HP, HK, D+HP, Run, HP, HP, Jump Kick, and then an air attack.

Yeah, you're right. I guess that the only things that can make a really big difference are the special moves.

Jarek and Reptile with their weapons are the best in MK4.

In MK Gold, Sektor and Kitana rule everyone easily.

Run Knee~Jabs rules all in MK4.

Jarek is so underrated, his ground slam is unblockable and doesn't make him vulnerable(unlike Jax earthquake), and he is also a really quick character with a strong weapon.

Sub-Zero have many cheap infinites(involving his limb breaker and his weapon)and his ice clone is really useful he is definitely top tier as well. Sonya and Tanya are also in the elite, Tanya because of her quickness and Sonya because of her big choice of useful moves.


However MK4 is a well balanced game.

Liu Kang is awesome in MK4. In the right hands he can unleash carnage...

Sub-Zero has no infinites. You can block anything after a leg breaker.
None of them.

ok, I know that he had one, but it was possible to do it against the computer on the PSX version, unsure if its work against a human player, probably not.

But Sub-Zero ice scepter is his third stun moves and it makes him really dangerous when executing certain combos. Sub-Zero is the best defensive fighter in the game.
