Well I don't know much about Sonya to make a valid decision.

But have you checked the strength of her guarenteed combos, existence of proper resets, her frame advantage, her recovery on block, etc?

Too early for tier lists. Wait a while.

You forgot to add some of her dis-advantages. Characters like her dis-advantages is being vulernable to other people advantages.(if that makes any sense lol)

She won't be top tier, I can promise you that. Upper middle, maybe middle. She's got a lot of ways to get in, but most are pretty readable. She's nowhere near the likes of Kung Lao, Smoke, and even Ermac.

Sonya is one of the better fighters in the current build of the game.

YEAH GO ERMAC! ERR BODIES SLLEPING ON HIM HES MY MAIN CHARACTER CAUSE TO ME HIS COMBOS JUST SEEM TO HAVE REALLY OBVIOUS CHAINS.

I believe she's top tier, from what 27liukang said, by play as her, and according to the guide the only person who gives her a run for her money is Kung Lao. She stands her ground with everyone else.

Like others have said it's way too early for definite tiers, only wild speculation. She seems thoroughly decent balanced although I think that Kitana is probably closer to being a top tier character.

I don't know or care about tiers, but I know that she can kick some ass. She's one of the top 5 fighters in the game if you ask me.

I've been whoring her enough to conclude that she's very likely to be top-tier, or at the very least, high-tier. And trust me, she's definitely not readable or predictable. I got nearly 30 wins a row in KOTH using only Sonya. If she was predictable, I would've been defeated much earlier, as people would adapt quickly.

She's not only incredibly fast, but has a great mix-up game thanks to her range of specials coupled with all the possibilities of Military Stance. That's a deadly combination, since you can rush and confuse at the same time. She has an easy to perform and easy to connect combo that does 38% damage every time, largely due to Leg Grab dealing incredible damage. Arc Kick can be used offensively and defensively without sacrificing speed. Her only real disadvantage is when the opponent manages to distance himself from her across the screen, easily remedied by a well-timed Arc Kick.

If they had made her Kiss and Kartwheel as fast as MKDC's, I dare say she would be overpowered.

Yes, Sonya is pretty damn nasty.

I believe there is no such thing as "tiers". A character is only as good as the person who controls them.

Sounds like the tough blonde hasn't disappointed.

I'm mostly happy about how fun she is to play with. She's got many special moves and killer combos.

I'm a happy fan.
