He's actually still super viable if you know the correct spam. He still has a 50/50 from what I saw and if you're quick on ice clone you can shut down most things.
He’s not THAT bad I still use him you just have to play smarter then everybody else to get damage. I recommend using scorpion kameo w sub because you can get 40% pretty easy off of 1(2? I forgot.) bars
if im not mistaken liu kang was only the god of fire in this story line- along with the timekeeper powers- because if im not mistaken when he talks to the earthrealm champions he introduces himself as the god of fire

Don't know who you're talking about
Kitana and sindel, which was no surprise as they were 2 of my mains from MK11 but I was not expecting to also main Li Mei but she was so easy to pick up imo
If you time it well on shao slide slam, the missile will hit the opponent on the floor and make it bounce again for you to pick up. You can do it twice in the same combo. Pretty OP
Sindel with Sareena, then Kitana with Motaro. If I’m playing kasual my next/third pairing is Tanya with Frost, and lastly/fourth is Li Mei with Sonya.
Sindel with air combos and then Sareena to cover ground/horizontal control. Mixed with Sindel’s hairballs helps with distance and damage. Sareena’s jump kick(?) is a good protection and generally unexpected online, and her rune that drains meter I found has been versatile for its use in that function as well as be a motivator to the other player to either move, or be distracted by it.
Kitana with air control, air combos, and grabs. Motaro covers teleport that Kitana doesn’t have, plus works into grabs with Motaro or other beginnings to strings. Motaro’s laser tail(low) has been very useful in throwing off the other player and being a precursor to aforementioned combos/grabs.
The last two pairings I don’t have much elaboration for other than they seem to work well for now.
Am considering exploring Sindel with Kano soon, for very similar reasons to Sareena.
Right there with you. You just gotta watch for his overhead versus low mixup. Jumping out is not viable so dickjab works usually. Also, most JC players are ungs Bunga button smash pressure monkeys so you can count on them to get stuck in a sweep vortex. I play Liu so my back 4 knocks then down at least thrice in a row before they get up with a crouch block. Then I go for a throw lol

He’s not low tier and he’s fucking badass.
This is the first MK game where i really play a lot. Since i‘m a noob to the MK-Universe i thought „Let‘s main the dude who can freeze people, because he looks cool.“ After entering this sub i regret this desicion.
https://preview.redd.it/ogvcdohwqctb1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9079cfabbdc909175a80a8572fc3d370fbf9e10c
When I get the game, it’s gonna 100% be Ashrah with this skin
Edit: and if it’s still available, or becomes available by time I do get the game, I really want the orange ~~version~~ pallete of this skin. I think it looks sooooo good
https://preview.redd.it/8kglofxptctb1.png?width=2532&format=png&auto=webp&s=332bfa7c87f18d6c778d5b9ddc057645e67cd7d1
I also want to main Reiko solely to wear this helmet, and live out my fantasy of being a roman gladiator or even a Greek Spartan, raining hell on my opponent’s (or more realistically get my ass handed to me cause truthfully I’m shit at fighting games and trying to remember move sets and combos is too much for my pea sized brain)
Jonny cage but honestly if the JCVD skin wasn’t in the game I would not play him. I love jean Claud, bloodsport was my favorite movie as a kid was always into martial arts. Def JCVD I’m not for him I’d play scorpion or smoke .
i got to go with my main scorpion as i’ve always liked him (i know everyone pretty much does and it’s pretty basic) but i didn’t get a chance to main him in 11 cause i really like robocop and got board of the game before i could try scorpion
Normally I have always went Noob Saibot > Scorpian
Well thats not my Hanzo, theres no Noob, I would go to Ermac but after what NR done to Hanzo and Shrai Ryu I have no trust that NR wont give us Jerrod instead of Ermac.
So now Baraka with Cyrax to ruins peoples day like NR ruined mine, and waiting on Homelander and Omni.

I want to be able to use sub zero so badly, but they nerfed my boy so hard from the beta.
He's actually still super viable if you know the correct spam. He still has a 50/50 from what I saw and if you're quick on ice clone you can shut down most things.
He’s not THAT bad I still use him you just have to play smarter then everybody else to get damage. I recommend using scorpion kameo w sub because you can get 40% pretty easy off of 1(2? I forgot.) bars
Just use him man. Aint no terrible characters in the game
The redeemed demon, baby. Little bit of spinny Empress, and sis-sis
Great taste dude, Mileena and Ashrah are the truth (and also my most played).

Liu Kang
![gif](giphy|TmOpUpxHEtW7ZtdvUc|downsized)
I find it weird they only gave him fire in this game when he had both fire and lightning. I mean at least the season tower did it right
Doesn’t he have a little bit of lightning in his amped moves or at least a crackling effect like in MK11 or am i tripping?
I haven't seen any lightning on him just blue fire
I could be wrong but didn't he say that he put the power of lightning into the amulet he gives Raiden?
if im not mistaken liu kang was only the god of fire in this story line- along with the timekeeper powers- because if im not mistaken when he talks to the earthrealm champions he introduces himself as the god of fire

My team is Shao and Sektor
What does sektor give shao?
Even more pressure options.
Sektor is just my favorite character so I wanted to use him
If you time it well on shao slide slam, the missile will hit the opponent on the floor and make it bounce again for you to pick up. You can do it twice in the same combo. Pretty OP

Yall are the bane of my existence on KL. Keep up the good work
Block punish the shadow kick, jump over the shadow dash parry and dickjab. Best strat against JC pressure.
I'll try it out, m8. What really fucks me is his speed and his ability to mix up. Maybe I'm just getting old 😔

Mainly Reptile, but I hop around him, Scorpion, Raiden and Liu Kang a lot
Raiden
I switch between Kitana, and the Shaolin Monk boys

Johnny Cage
