Not sure about her tier, because even though some of us may not see a ton of potential, somebody else out there probably can.

I love her design but wasn't too impressed with her gameplay, especially the grenade and drone variations. Her arc kick also seems way too slow imo.

The problem with character breakdown is that we rarely see how the variations can interact with the universal moves.

The drone itself might not be that popular, but let's way until people actually use it in a real fight with the other moves.

She looks top tier.

Above, Cassie, Shinnok, Quan Chi, Ferra/Torr, Mileena, Ermac.

Seems to be on the same ground as Kitana.

The ones who seem like bad match ups are Kenshi, Erron Black, Kung Lao and Takeda.

She's a summoner/puppet user in some of her variations, meaning she might be hard to use. Her grenades also seem kind of tricky. At least she's not Puppeteer/Mighty Glacier Ferra/Torr though.

The thing about puppeteer characters in fighting games is that while they may be more technical and harder to use, a person who really invests their time in that character can do SUPER well in tournaments because nobody knows how to counter that character.

Where? A bed....with Johnny on top of her

I always thought tier wasn't overly an issue unless you are seriously competitive

If your character is high tier then half the world mains them and is familiar with their tricks

Sheeva was low tier in mk9 but I found many people underestimated her and I won more fights with her than with kitana, who was much higher tier and I was generally more skilled with
