I'm surprised more people aren't going with the Marksman variation for Erron Black. Seems to have the most potential for setups, mixups and combo traps.


1) Erron Black - Marksman
2) Kenshi - Possessed
3) Sub-Zero - Grandmaster
4) Ermac - Mystic
5) Kung Jin - Ancestral

4; Sub-Zero: Unbreakable: No big reason, just my favorite way he uses the iceand ability to block projectiles

6; Takeda (Know who im gonna main yet?) Shirai Ryu

10; Kenshi: Balance

Kenshi - Kenjutsu (looks amazing, Kenshi has really impressed me)
Kung Jin - Bojutsu (loving the bo staff combos)

5- Quan Chi Sorcerer (I love his new design, feels menacing)
6- Sonya Demolition (closest thing to Cyrax in the game)
7- Sub Zero Grandmaster (love the Ice Clones)
8- Scorpion Ninjustsu (seems noob friendly but it's his fastest variation)
9- Sonya Special Forces ( I could think of better things than the drone but it could still be usefull)
