I'm curious as to which characters you guys hate coming up against online? Which character makes you think "oh shit" when they get selected? Who makes your heart sink when they walk up to the camera?

Mine has to be Sub Zero at the moment. I cannot seem to read him and I struggle against his combos. He seems to have a great mix up selection of moves to me. I main Sonya but when Sub gets selected I run to Kitana and play a keep away game.




My self respect is waning...

So, who do you guys fear if any?

Outlaw Erron Black. He has insane pressure. I hate facing him. He just does not let up. I hate his command throw as well. It is incredibly annoying. He has a very fast overhead which is safe as well. He can take 35% of your life easily and will push you in the corner. It is not fun at all facing an Outlaw Erron Black.

I'm not great by any means, but I can at the very least hold my own with most match ups. However, Jax players have been blowing my shit up lately. The pressure is real.

Cheers for the responses guys!
@xysion I'm surprised I haven't come up against more Errons due to SonicFox' win with him.
He looks beast.
Still Mileena Mirrors, holy god they're chaotic as fuck if you come across the right player.

I can only dread the Tanya
Mirrors once I end up getting her.

Erron Black is not one of the easiest characters to use. He requires some degree of practice.

Sub-Zero is unsafe on most of his comboes. Also he does not have an overhead in any combo so you should always block low. His special moves are all unsafe. If you block a special especially the Slide, punish him with a full combo. His overhead is unsafe so block low to bait it and then punish him. I do not understand how you have problems with Sub-Zero's mix ups.

Quan Chi is starting to scare me because of his vortex shenanigans.
Sonya (covert ops) is very scary in the corner.

As Mr. Sloan always says, there is no "I" in team, but there is an "I" in pie. And there's an "I" in meat pie. Anagram of meat is team... I don't know what he's talking about.

Sub-Zero for sure,
Going up against a good Cassie player.
Jax(offline) normally gives me a tough time sometimes.

No problem. You are maining Sonya. If you are going up against a Grandmaster Sub-Zero who cancels into the Ice Klone when a combo is blocked then not much you can do.

I actually get excited when somebody picks SZ because I have faced them so many time that I usually know what to expect and do really well but my eyes will start rolling when somebody picks Inferno Scorpion lol

Me too. Grandmaster Sub-Zero is tough but manageable. Inferno Scorpion makes my Sonya fall apart though.

Ermac. I just quit the match when they select him. I'm on a wireless connection so no matter how good I play, I'm never as fast as my opponents online because of the delay. All Ermac players know how to do is tele-spam and do his stun ball, but since wireless connectivity sucks, they are able to do it over and over before I can react. Thus, I just go ahead and leave the match, I know I won't win.

I haven't had the game for a while, but when I did, I hated fighting Liu Kang. WAY too god damn fast and agressive. He should have been a sub boss. -_-

In pretty much every MK game it's Mileena. Especially in this game. When she uses her little flip kick thing, I never know whether to block high or low.

Shiri-Ryu Takeda has put me in such predicaments where I have to breathe and count to ten or risk having an out-of-body experience where my spirit is angry and vengeful and prone to throwing controllers agains the wall...

Sonya can't do a whole lot against a character who plays most of his game from far-away, in the air. Oh, and throw a teleport in there. Oh, and it hits twice and low on EX. Also armor. Hehe. I mean, Christ, it's like a pre-teen Scorpion, extra prepubescent rage. The only way I ever win is being extremely aggressive: knocking down and rushing incessantly, but also reading wake-ups perfectly. And if Sonya's Jumping 1 wasn't so good, I'd be decimated even further into oblivion.

This kid has been an issue since Day 1 and it's not getting much better...




Also, surprisingly, I've been having a few run-ins with problematic (read: good) Johnny Cages. A skilled Johnny player will annoy the ever living fuck out of you by damn near stripping you of your ability to punish as he rushes. I've fought a few who are quasi-psychic in their frame knowledge, and know how to move so you'll never get a punch in so long as you're close to him.

I too despise Sub Zero with that horseshit slide. And Scorpions combos are way too long.

In general though, any character where I know the duck low punch, or low kick is going to be used, I can't stand it. Kung Jin is a good example. Every time I play against him, its tap, tap, tap, then a combo 12 miles long. Cheapens the game. I don't care if I play someone better than me, and they kick my ass. But the tapping drives me insane.
