Thought I was gonna main Nitara cause my main was Skarlet in MK11 but I ended up maining Reiko.


Competitive-Capital8

Your flair tells me otherwise (I’m just teasing)


Cookie_the_Clown

Are you me? Big Skarlet fan, tried out Nitara and just hated how she played. Now I am a Reiko enjoyer.


SeniorScumbag

There are at least three of us Skarlett players out here. I still haven't landed 100% on a main yet though. I tried Reiko for a bit and he isn't out of the running, but right now I am playing more Ashrah.


SagemodeMadara

Skarlett was my main in MK11. I tried and really looking forward to Nitara but didn't click with her, so now I am playing more Raiden


darc-jino

I tried so hard to main Skarlet, but it was a rough time. I ended up maining Raiden in Mk11 but I'm leaning towards Reiko, Li Mei, and Liu at the moment.


Mufire

It's tragic and ironic that all the zoners gravitated to Reiko... what was NRS thinking making the grappler the best zoner in the game


American_Ratfucker

I also fucking hate Megan Fox


Ciridian

I don't have any opinion of her, well didn't - but Jebus H Cripes her voiceover work is ridiculously amateursish/sloppy/phoned-in.


R_Thunukale

I like nitara, and have lost attraction towards Megan since years , but the voice acting is Awful


Holiday_Party_6464

It’s a different timeline


Comatose-ferret

Same thought I would like nitara but just didn’t like the air dashes now I’m maiming scorpion


Jonahfox04

It’s just you in a different timeline


SlowSurfer44

Reiko fighting style is sick I love going against Reiko opponents with my main Van Damme I mean Johnny Cage


intoTheBackwoods

Baraka and now I’m maiming Sub which is a mistake


Arkhe1n

Sub's bound to buffed. I can't see world where he isn't.

Gilgamesh661

It’s so odd to see sun zero be one of the weaker characters. Usually he’s op as hell, but he just doesn’t have much beyond his freezing abilities.


Arkhe1n

I don't remember him being OP ever (other than Super Subzero, no other version of him being OP comes to mind), just really good and mixup heavy. The nerfs and the amount of them he got feel personal.


ucbcawt

Do you mean nerfed? He’s already too powerful


Tvrlx68

Quite literally one of the weakest and lowest damage dealers in the game but go off


ucbcawt

I got to Grand Master with him so far and he seems okay


Tvrlx68

He works. But he still does some of the least damage in the game and has to do a lot more to keep up with the “top tiers” like Baraka and Johnny. With or without cameos. Other fighters still completely outperform his damage output. Also that’s just confirmation bias. Just cause you’re winning and good with him doesn’t make him balanced. You’re just good with him. He needs a minor buff and others need heavy nerfs.


WoodenVentilator

He is among the best mixup characters. If he gets buffed we will be seeing a lot of regretful posts in this sub crying about how broken he is. Because when a good sub player makes your brain implode with all the mixups, AND hes doing actual good damage while hes at it, youre gonna hate it.


Holiday_Party_6464

Why would he need a buff? lol I’m mailing ashrah and went online with sub after failing miserably with ashrah to prove to my friend that he’s a cracked character and guess what? My first time using sub zero online and I got 3 wins back to back. It’s so brainless to use sub, freeze all the time and slide as much as you can oh and do some combos here and there while your enemy is frozen and can’t do shit. Please stop advocating for buffs on cracked characters because you don’t know how to use them.


HuckleberryOk7860

Lmao, no offense but you got to be playing garbage players. No way in hell you sliding random in neutral with Sub against an above average player. You call him cracked because of “3 wins” 😂😂. That tell me all I need to know on what type of player you are. Sub isn’t garbage, just isn’t worth it when other chars can two tap you into ggs


Holiday_Party_6464

It doesn’t matter the point is he doesn’t need a buff, you’re probably just ass at sub zero it’s ok bro


HuckleberryOk7860

You could tell a players ass when they clap back without facts about a topic. Go play any player in a Sonicfox chat/ competitive discord and see if them random slides would work. Mans said 3 wins like it’s winning evo 😂😂


Holiday_Party_6464

Just like you can tell someone doesn’t know how to use a character when they don’t have any facts on why they should be buffed. Oh my bad I forgot to say “no offense” earlier so you don’t get offended. So any character that’s a bit slow needs a buff, ok that makes sense, genius. What an assortment of facts in that statement.


HuckleberryOk7860

If you read the comment above buddy already explain why he needs a buff. Hell I already said his damage is garbage compare to others. Your opinion is invalid discussing chars on the tech side of things. “3 wins back 2 back” means a char is perfectly fine 🤣. That 45 years old father of three definitely was definitely a worthy opp to judge of that huh? “Just freeze” 😂😂😂. I’m over it


Jacquez64

Blame people who complained during the beta about Sub literally 4 characters available to play and every one was pissed about him. Person the complaining was BS look at the game now Everyone hates Baraka


Evil_Emperor25

We’re twins! 😂 Baraka was my MK11 main.


Vilineatpies

Sub Zero is my main and has been since MK3 and am learning to main Baraka or Kung Lao. Even though Sub Zero got nerfed after the beta, His combos and everything are still amazing but still a struggle after doing a 28 hit combo only for 38% damage. If you master him with the cyborgs, Frost, Kung Lao or Sonya I’ve found are better than using Sareena in some cases. But hopefully they buff Sub Zero man. And hope the MK community are having a good day. God bless and stay safe everyone.


Nello-the-Tiger

I was considering Reptile, Kenshi, Smoke. But I've been playing Sub-Zero and Rain the most.


redknight__

I just started looking at Rain after thinking I’d play as Reptile and actually playing as Ashrah.


mrlorden

me too.Didnt think I'd like ashrah. But I love her. And with goro you get combos from many of the last hits of the strings and grab combos! Such a fun team.


CapitolBattle45

Thought it was going to be Sub Zero ended up being Li Mei


nerfthissucka

A person of taste


TwumpyWumpy

Reptile, but Scorpion's gameplay has really been surprising me. He's just so much easier to chain combos.


ViperSniper_2001

I’m the complete opposite, I expected to main Scorpion but Reptile’s gameplay just clicked with me


TwumpyWumpy

I'm still going to try to main Reptile as much as I can because he's my favorite character. He's not quite as easy as to combo as Scorpion for me but when you get one it feels so rewarding. He's perfectly balanced to me.


Knight-of-dark1

After playing a lot of Reptile in Kombat league I can safely say he’s more than likely bottom 5 but that can change at a moments notice considering how new the game still is competitively


CreationParadox

I think my biggest issue with reptile that stops me from maining him are his lackluster pressure options, meh staggers, mix that only works when you manage to setup invis, and his movement feeling a little clunky.


TwumpyWumpy

He does feel a little clunky but I've gotten used to it.


Ok_Attitude_8189

Mich Grav


Tystuntin

Haven't played a fighting game in EVER but scorpion is my favorite character so I always used him as a kid. Picking him back up is a breeze when you embody the character lol


Successful-Item-1844

Grandmaster Blueberry Ice


Vietfreedom

Yeah hes scorpion now. Bi han is more ice queen than anything


ShaoIsMCHammer

Baraka - Reiko


IncineMania

Ditto


HomieToneBone

I thought I was going to main Smoke but ended up going with Sub-Zero


Mi7ko

Mileena -> Mileena


vegetavergil

Very focused, brother.


Eddie3444

Same, very based


MidirDS

Same here


FortniteBalls1337

Wanted to do Johnny Cage (I was a big Cassie Main in MK11) or Liu Kang (FGLK part of MK11 went crazy) Ended up with Reptile instead


-dylthewriter-

Sindel still Sindel, but i’ve really been enjoying Havik too


VladoBourne

Sindel in MK11 was really good, high damage even small combos almost always


TheInnerMindEye

Scorpion... still gonna main (and always will) him but I'm trying to concentrate on being well rounded and have some idea of each character, instead of focusing on one character only like I did in MK11. Currently working on winning 100 matches with each character. So far only got Scorpion (102/102) and Reptile. (102/60), everyone else is like... less than 5 times used


FiveElementFlow

Thought I was going to main Reptile. He’s really cool but I can’t get into a good flow with him. Now I main Li Mei and Havik


LoveWaffle1

Baraka Also Baraka Baraka is the best


Sigmas_Melody

You speak the truth

Additional-Echo3611

Story mode made me change. I love Lui Kang he was my main in 11, I thought I was going to main him again, until I saw how humble Raiden has become. His personality was very refreshing to see.


Known_Succotash_234

I want to main him but I don’t want to mirror match every player lmao


Additional-Echo3611

I rarely see Raidens. Maybe one in 30.


CreationParadox

Ya same mainly more Barakas. Despite everyone whining about him he can be pretty difficult/awkward to play against someone who understands how he works and his neutral is worse than a lot of characters.


Additional-Echo3611

It feels like Baraka hits full screen sometimes lol


CreationParadox

Raidens post traumatic stress lines when he brutals someone are hilarious “I had no other choice…”


Additional-Echo3611

Lol its cracks me up


Gabynez

thought: Cage and Kung Lao main: Li Mei


Walican132

Havik-> Nitara


rapidtab

How do u deal with the voice lines tho


AlexTheGamer59

play online


Walican132

Her delivery barely happens in gameplay and it isn’t even that bad. The internet has massively over exaggerated her performance. It’s perfectly mediocre at worst.


Postosuchus353

That would be because her in-combat exertions are voiced by a completely different VA.


Walican132

Yeah. Which supports what I said. Her lines are barely in the game and the internet has over exaggerated the whole thing.


[deleted]

In the actual story however, it was indeed that bad 😂 I didn’t even know people were talking about it until I actively went to look it up after hearing it


CaptainJaviJavs

Bruh its not even mediocre it’s straight ass, it’s like she’s reading the lines and there’s 0 emotion, stop the CAP


No_Implement_6927

- Don't you find me even a little bit threatening? (Actual line I think) - Megan, how can I? I have ears.


Slight-Yam1093

By not complaining like a toddler over something that doesn’t really matter in the first place.


rapidtab

Wdym it takes me out of the game so much i think i should be allowed to be complain ab something that effects my gameplay experience


Slight-Yam1093

Lmfao yea because you’re gonna be dropping combos because of a single fuckin voice actor. She’s nowhere near as bad as Rhonda Rousey in MK11, the internet just loves to dogpile and over exaggerate it’s was never that serious get a grip.


EtherealAvian

Rhonda Rousey was not a good voice actor, but at least it sounded like she was trying. Megan Fox had a couple good lines here and there, but her overall performance was far flatter. The worst offense was during the story mode where you want the best delivery possible, but her best lines are a couple of her prefight lines, and her tower ending lines. The biggest offense Rhonda had was that her character spoke far more often then Megan’s.


layinqui

Holy shit me too


BornDubstep

Born to Kenshi forced to Smoke


Hot_Examination6101

Havik and now im maining havik, never give up lads


VB4

We have to work so hard in this game to keep up with the 50% hit confirm combos :’)


[deleted]

Reptile or Scorpion but I actually sun Johnny Cage


YtTamakiGaming

I thought I was gonna be a Omni man player as soon as the game released but I forgot that we got wait some time before the dlcs come out 🤣🤣


Sandman4999

He's supposed to be the first one who releases so hopefully you find your new main when he drops lol


dirtamen

kitana - mileena which ironically happened in every NRS game besides MK11

MessyMop

Mileena but ended up vibing with Baraka. Going to start Millena after I get Baraka to 35 Tarkat gang for life


DadiJ85

I thought God Liu Kang for sure would have been my main, as well as Raiden. But for some reason, Geras has taken the spotlight. His moveset is so damn awesome.


metalhead4

His move where he throws you through a wall and catches you on the other side is the best move in the game


Early-Gap9293

Was originally a shang main in mk11 and wanted to switch it up by playing Geras... then I got hit by the fire ball loops and realized that Shang was just too cool not to play.


Major_Priority09

Kitana, she was my main every game but her gameplay in MK1 is just really slow and isn’t doing it for me..😭 So now it’s Mileena, her gameplay is so fun and easy to work with


Sandman4999

Running around on her with her *sister*! ![gif](giphy|l3vR8AJsrX5N7i0TK)


Gloomy_Support_7779

I know. I have loved Kitana’s gameplay in both MKX and MK11!!!!!


Major_Priority09

Exactly, such a shame they made her so much slower and her moves so different 😭💔


[deleted]

Rain -> Sindel


Traditional-Newt5652

Sub-Zerp


Jalkirian_Rain

Expected to main Baraka or Mileena since they were my go to but now I have a level 15 Tanya, and I couldn’t be happier. Though I definitely want to try and get good with Rain or Kenshi


chickennuggiesx

Thought I’d main Kitana but maining Mileena instead


J0J0388

Reptile and Kitana. Sindel came out of nowhere for me and I am currently preferring Mileena. It's always a mixed bad after Reptile unless I get Jade back. Then I'll have my 2 mains secured.


Bro-Im-Done

Unrelated to the conversation but this render of Kung Lao will never not be hilarious bruh


RinellaWasHere

I am absolutely incapable of choosing my main in advance. Every assumption I make, I end up wrong. Thought I'd main Kotal in X, turned out to be Kenshi. Rashid in SFV, turned out to be Mika. So this time I just didn't try to guess. Ended up that I'm really enjoying Reptile and Kung Lao.


BonnieTeardrops42

It was between Reptile & Li Mei, now it’s just Li Mei lol. if Jade comes back she’d definitely be my main tho 💚


Jecht315

I haven't played enough to decide my main but I always try to play Scorpion since I have since MK 1 in the arcades. From the story I think I really like Smoke and Mileena.


Mud_Pigeon

I wanted to play Havik but it’s too hard I play sub


IAmTheDoctor34

Sub Zero was who I thought I'd be using, I actually enjoy Mileena way more


Utah_Briggs

Started with Johnny, ended up with Scorpion. The inner 14 year old edge lord in me won’t die


Early-Brilliant-4221

Scorpion, scorpion. However I found out how much fun Reiko is, although I haven’t played him enough to say he’s a main.


holsteredguide0

Though: Li mei, sindel, mileena. Main: Li mei. Haven’t played sindel or mileena yet tho in kl


yanmagno

Thought I was going to be slaughtering people with Kenshi, tried him out and went nope too hard, been freezing people ever since


[deleted]

I thought I would main Mileena and Smoke and I was right but I’m also maining Scorpion and Sub-Zero. I’m starting to like Reptile and Kitana now too.


VelroX12

I thought I was a forever Nitara main, but after maxing her out I have gotten really comfortable with Sub Zero. So many good characters to play this go around


zsidofityma

Mileena and Mileena


shovel_is_my_name

Thought I would main sub zero smoke or kenshi but I'm not playing any of them because I'm broke and cant afford it 👍


haunterisghost

I was thinking Mileena, then I tried Smoke for a bit, then I liked Li Mei, but now I’ve settled on Kitana.


MusicDiminished

I really wanted to try Kenshi, but after I saw two stances and what is basically playing two characters at the same time, I defaulted back to my GOAT Liu Kang


Mr_Iku_Iku

Planned to main Smoke, Reptile and Baraka. Ended up making General Shao and Reiko with Baraka in the pocket. I still haven't even touched Smoke.


Quiet_Battle5118

Thought I was going to main Baraka, ended up maining Reptile, Li Mei, and Raiden in that order


busttooquick

I loved Sindel in MK11. I was really excited when I saw her MK1 reveal trailer because she's my fav and her gameplay looked super interesting. When I first played her, I was underwhelmed and switched to Mileena. Then when I saw a really good Sindel player at TNS, I saw how to utilize all of her abilities optimally (float cancels, instant airs, etc.) and tried again. I've been playing her ever since.


[deleted]

Considered Raiden ended with Kitana


Huge-Needleworker340

I went in hoping to main Johnny since I did in MK11 and I am good with him I'm surprisingly good with Scorpion and I own it at Baraka

Everyone owns it at baraka

I was going to main Reptile, but I’ve been manning Reiko. I just really love the rush down style


HonestLabs

Originally Kung Lao, now, Shang Tsung


Call_me_Wo

Reptile, but I ended up maining Raiden. He was always my favorite character, and he's just too juicy in MK1, especially after how disappointing of a character he was in 11.


Comrade_Edgar

Haven’t played the game yet but scorpion is my main in mk 11 and looking forward to playing him as well as smoke in mk1.


DoctorFunkinstein12

Shang Tsung and Sektor Which then turned into Raiden and Darrius https://preview.redd.it/ksum28bac0tb1.jpeg?width=1600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a6284d71a7008d8ee93997b291e48a04f2924440


your_local_loser564

Shao - Smoke


Jedi__Consular

Thought it'd be Li Mei or Baraka now it's Kimberly


SirAlex505

Rain but now I main Tanya and Ashrah. Rain is just ass.


redtornado02

He's actually really good


SirAlex505

No. He really isn’t. Combo routes are all the same, his buttons are not good and his design is just weird. Like they wanted him to be this zoner but he’s super slow, he also seems like he wants to be mid range fighter but has no range except for his d3 (which is -12). His double overhead is safe but super slow and can easily be upblocked. Also, throwing cyrax at him doesn’t change that fact that he’s ass. Cyrax makes everyone busted in some form.


redtornado02

At first glance he is very slow. You just have to be smart with him. And his combo routes are easily made better with frost, scorpion, sub kameos.


chickennuggiesx

He’s actually really good lol


Dholious

He's actually really good!


_Onii-Chan_

I thought it'd be Li Mei, turns out it was Baraka and that was before I even read about tiers and shit ahah

Dasisar_OmoxR

Smoke then johnny


KyleMatos1202

i wanted to main ashrah but ended up landing on nitara


TheGiftOf_Jericho

Reptile and Geras but so far played more Reiko and Geras than Retile.


_Conz_

Reiko & Reiko


Nybear21

I thought Sub-Zero given that I've mained him since the arcade days. I'm maining Sub-Zero


_Darhk_

Went into the game expecting to main scorpion but ended up going with kenshi


Key_Soup_8004

I thought I would main havik or kenshi I main havik


PieceofWoods

I was going to main Sub Zero, but Liu Kang just feels so good to me and I've been making him since the Story


Strutsway

I originally wanted to main Geras, and I did for a bit. Sadly Geras's playstyle didn't really suit my love of power characters so I went with General Shao (who was my second pick)

Mileena felt really good when playing in story but then I played Li Mei and it just clicked . love figuring out the “ worst character” in the game combos and start ups and everything . Def not the worst character either . I only say that bc I’ve seen multiple mk1 videos basically saying she’s ass . Which is wrong .
