Takeda, Sub, and Liu look strong

Sub and Liu are great !!! Scorpion is pretty awesome too ... Kitana and jaqui

This game is looking like almost every character could say at least 1 of their variations is high tier to be honest, I'm liking the balance here.

After playing online

Top Tiers are most likely Scorp, Sub, Erron Black, Rayden, Liu Kang, Takeda

bottom tiers, Quan Chi?

Top Tiers

Scorpion (teleport and clone variation are a pain in the as)
Takeda (all variations)
Liu Kang (he is fast, and if he gets you in the corner it's hard to escape)
Raiden (that fly thing is hard to Dodge, Displacer Raiden is definetly top tier)
Kung Jin (Bojutsu, I think)
Goro (punch walk is hell)

Mid Tier


Sub Zero
Cassie Cage (very fast)
D'Vorah
Ferra/Torr
Jacqui Briggs
Jax
Kano

Low Tier

Kitana
Mileena
Johnny Cage
Kung Lao
Sonya Blade
Kotal Kahn

Worst tier

Quan Chi

That's what I think.

Anyone noticed how they made the newbies all noob friendly and made the veterans hard to use?

Top Tier

Kenshi
Sonya Blade
Mileena
Ermac
Erron Black

- Sub-Zero Grandmaster is top tier for sure
- Scorpion Ninjutsu and Hellfire is also pretty high I'd say
- Erron Black looked very solid from the Fatal 8 tournament

Ermac and Kung Lao seem decent as well in some of their variations

Mileena ain't no low tier lol, she's 100% God tier. I'm compiling and editing a combo video of online matches so people can see what I mean. It'll be coming soon
