Sonic literally just won the tournament, he’s the number 1 player in the world and y’all crying about his tier list as if you understand the game better 😂
You said it yourself, Sonic has an extremely skewed perspective. The tier list for the top 0.01% of players is vastly different than the tier list for everyone else.
The tier list can be changed around only slightly tho, but he’s right 99% of people who play MK1 or any fighting game in general sucks, besides the portion of us who actually practice and don’t complain.
Being an online warrior is one thing even if you're at the highest rank, but actually competing and doing well in tournaments is another thing. The majority aren't high level tourney players which is probably the 1%, and yeah the other 99% are just online warriors who'd get smoked by the 1%.
Retrhoe and Faysal made a lot of point with Kitana. Retrhoe's endless loop in the corner and their confirms are freaking insane. Faysal is a god with KhamKit combo, but I agree too, Retrhoe is a tad bit better. Not to mention, Retrhoe basically utilized everything annoying about Kitana to the highest level. Also, dang, the salutation to Retrhoe is freaking major. I've been a Retrhoe fan since MK1 released and to see them get acknowledged by THE G.O.A.T of MK is amazing.
I don’t even want anyone in the game nerfed, I want everyone buffed. Sure nerf peacemaker but if everyone was buffed to the point they could keep up with Johnny this game would actually be fun to play.
LMMFAOOOO me too bro 😂.. Paid $120 on the preorder and haven’t played this shii since the first season. Easily THE worst MK I’ve played. Learned a lesson tho, I’ll never preorder another game again.💯
I play Quan and your analysis is so on point. People jail me all the time with Johnny and Ashara. Too quick. And with no meter I just get stuck in corners and punished when I try to air stomp out of desperation.

As a Quan main this puts a smile on my face. I’ve been saying since day one that he is GARBAGE compared to everyone else in the roster and a majority say otherwise and put him in mid tier…the only reason why you would up-play this character is because you just don’t know how to fight him and/or you’re just that garbage. After playing at least 2 matches against him you realize how EASY it is to counter him. SMH 🤦♂️ PLEASE BUFF QUAN
I wish we could go back to the time when the term 'broken' meant it breaks the game. Nothing is 'cheap' or 'strong' or simply 'plus' anymore. Everything is 'broken'. Seems like a downgrade in FGC lingo.
buff ideas, spread the word Havoc: He needs at least five new attack strings, he needs his legacy move that titan havoc has were he takes off his head and rolls it but its a mid, has the same affect as reptiles acid ball, and also hits mid exploding on contact. he also needs another one of his legacy moves that again titan havoc has where he bends his hole body for a low projectile and the amp of that can be a knock down allowing for combo extentions for cameos like scorpion Sub-zero: he needs his attack strings made slightly faster except for his overhead, he also needs 1or 2 new attack string launchers, both his regular and amp iceball needs to be faster to not only be able to combo with it off of normal attack strings but in juggle combos too. He should have the ability to throw his ice clone, i also think he should have his ice burst special back with the same proporties as mkx to compliment his ice clone(but just does not send you that far away). lastly he needs some of his damage scailing off ground freeze. Scorpion: should be buffed by making his amp ground tp a launcher again and make the cancel built in to both his regular and amp tp. buff the amp hellfire move by removing the damage over time and making it function like how it does in mkx allowing him to combo after hitting it. he needs new strings some mix ups(i personally want his mkx overhead back). some moves need to be sped up Quan shi: needs his mind control move from mkx back, and make half his attack strings faster. and finally his low tentacle needs to be one bar Raiden: change raiden's b2 back to the mkx launcher but make it as slow as sub'z b2. give him back his vicinity blast move back with the same properties as mkx. Give him back his mkx amp lightning projectile back for combo extentions but have his regular fully charged move have the same proportys as the amp. he also needs to be buffed by making his amp electrocute special launch no matter how many bars he uses liu kang: for starters nerf his f4 one button pressure but give him his 113 mkx launcher back along with maybe one or two more new attack strings. make his low fireball slightly faster, change his air fireball to the mkx fireball and the amp the one we have now. give him back his mk 11 dragon parry, and finally make his fatal blow start up 2 hits but the first one restands kung lao: nerf tf out of his wake up special by making it unsafe af on block. give him back his mkx or 9 spin back but have it have work the same as mk11 so he can use it more than two times in a combo. swap his dive kick now for a mix between his mkx or 9 dive kick. he needs his mkx tp, and his low hat back, but nerf his mix up buttion's he has now by making the overhead follow up slightly slower. give him his mk11 21212 attack string and his mkx 44 launcher attack string back. and also he needs his hat spin. Nitara: buff her by making her command dash like homelander so for instance all of her normal attack strings that leaves her in the air cost no bar anymore to command dash and it cost no bar when she is in the air command dashing for combos but the next one after that does. and also make fer overhead that leaver her in the air slightly faster. lastly give her back her legacy projectile move back. y'all stay tune i got more heat for every character
For subzero i think with small buff he will good Just buff his ice clone recovery, make his ice clone projectile (forgot what input) goes full screen And make his ice ball can connect with his string
Ranked FT3 has always been a horrible idea. Nobody wants to spend that much time playing against the same person. If you beat me in 2 matches, cool I'll go on to the next opponent If I beat you in 2 matches, cool you go on to the next person. But potentially playing 5 matches in ONE set is a pain in the ass when you're just trying to chill and have fun/rank up.
@@AmiriHipHop nah i think for ranked play it should be ft3. if youre just tryna chill and have fun then you play casual. but if its ranked ft2 isnt enough to adapt to your opponent. it should follow tournament format which is ft3
@@urboi4125 I agree that you have more time to adapt to your opponent but in my opinion. It is what it is 🤷🏻♂️. I'm not trying to spend 5 matches going against 1 person. This isn't a tournament and we're not playing for money. If I go against you and you beat me 2 matches, then oh well. I'll go to the next player. I'm not about to sit and complain "The only reason you won is because it's FT2. If this was FT3 I easily would've figured you out and beat you". It ain't that deep, I had the chance to beat you twice and I lost already. Tournament Setting w/ Money - FT3 👍🏻 Regular Online Ranked Play - FT2 👍🏻
@@mkminor3398 okay big whoop u get hit for 30 pct all u gotta do is space him when he has meter or block on knockdown or jump some characters can punish the armor. If you’re patient you’ll beat him easy
I so much need to know the thought process behind giving Johnny 9 frame mid while no one else has even like a 10 frame mid??? WTF is that bullshit who came up with this.. does these things happen like accidentaly... ??? Also why does one character has plus frames all over while others don't..???
He’s a rush down, rush down characters have lots of plus frames. They need it, characters with further reaching normals or good zoning don’t need plus frames.
@@AyeeShaad Smoke is a rush down and he has only 1 string I think that's plus frames and has gaps all over.. maybe they thought it's fine cuz he has crazy mix but the result is no one is using him competitively he is only nightmare for the casuals until maybe Grand Master rank..
@@tsvetelin6556 Why would you provide an example of a rush down without a bunch of plus frames and then debunk yourself? Smoke has mix, THATS why he doesn’t have a bunch of plus frames. He also can do INVISIBLE 50/50s, he doesn’t need plus frames, people just don’t use him because his cancels are hard.
@@AyeeShaad Well you're kind of right but cancels are not hard for pro players though and yet no one is even considering him.. But i didn't mean to cry about one of my 3 mains I just meant that there are serious balancing issues I feel like..
@@tsvetelin6556 Cancels being hard for pros is irrelevant, Johnny and Peacemaker are better than Smoke. These people want to win money so they use what’s best
@@Luuzer2 Once you know all her dumb stuff she's... I don't wanna say mid, because mid is "mid" but she can't zone. So she HAS to use either Mavado, Serena or Khameleon. It's not really optional.
@@Luuzer2 Basically, she HAS to use 1 of 3 kameos - Khameleon, Mavado or Serena. She can't zone or deal with zoners, now that the meta has settled. Anything else isn't viable against zoners who know what they're doing.
Ashrah is strong as fk lol great normals, crazy damage, great reach so neutral is strong, plus projectile, dark stance is crazy good, solid over head, amazing armour (probably best in game), and Sareena gives full screen combos. I main Ashrah so can say for a fact if you are playing against a good Ashrah she's a problem.
Sonic, could you remove chat from the screen in future videos? It’ll help your YT viewers see what you’re doing in the right corner? The chat box covers up the character you’re combo-ing.
@@KaixaDrome yeah I've just started adding that into my gameplay. And is B2 hit conformable? I heard it is in a guide but I can't do it so I just use it as a wiff punish
I agree with almost everything he says but saying Kitana has no weakness is a little crazy. Her mix is pretty weak outside of wind bomb stuff (which is not easy to get in high level btw since Kitana is not typically putting you in the corner, which is why we dont ever see wind bomb setups in pro play) and she has gaps after the first hits of her 2 best strings, S2 and B2. This might not seem like a big deal until you realize how safe armor can be in this game, and some characters even get full combos on reversal- specifically 2 other top tiers, Lao and Tanya. She's good but yall be up playing this character.
Fully agree. She's been my main since the beta and while she is good, once you lab her, she becomes so exploitable. Also, that Shang matchup is not remotely enjoyable.
@@HALOkid1221 yeah its crazy like these people actually need to play Kitana so they can see some of her struggles. People also just dont exploit her gaps enough.
@@likenoother6561 Say it louder for the people in the back 💯 Gaps in every single of her important strings besides 1,1 and has to commit to basically everything. You also need a great understanding of footsies and neutral which the other top tiers don't. If it weren't for Khameleon, I don't even think Faysal wouldve played her in FK.
I love how honeybee was in the chat hating hard and sonic just ignored him 💀💀 bro always being instead of just listening and wonder why he always lose.. honeybee always find a low tier character to main so he can always lay back on the excuse of character loyalty trying to seem like a victim lol don’t get me wrong honeybee is a goat it’s just annoying on how much he complains about a game with 20+ characters and never plays the rest of the characters , your % of winning anything goes down by over 50 when you put all your time and effort into like 5/20 characters each game
@@zephwilliams3010 she does great dmg meterless, or 1 bar. At least she does w Cyrax. That's who I run her with. My kombos are up if you're curious. Couple super short vids
This is such a silly pet peeve of mine, but thank you for limiting the S+ tier to one or two characters. Half these tier lists have half the roster in S and A+. Like.. that's now how a tier list is supposed to look.
I always found Sonic's opinions to be very questionable, But the results speak for themselves, taking Final Kombat and being the best player (by far) gives him the title of being the num1 most credible source for opinions lol!
Me gustaria ver una nueva tier list con los buf y nerf de los últimos parches. Me imagino pice maker cae bastante y jonny cage al menos un par de puestos
I really want to see how you would use Havik. He was my main for a while, but I was having a hard time winning against people that actually knew the match up
That's Havik for you. He's a threat when you don't know the matchup. But once you do, you see the landslide of gigantic gaps in his moveset. His armor is so weak you can get a small normal or even string, flawless block it and then punish. His B2 is slow and has a gap on all options, and without Mavado, he loses on every exchange. His s1 range is shit, and his 22 hitbox is so small I get blown up more CONSISTENTLY just because of the tiny hitbox on the 2nd hit making everything whiff
@GeeLambo i mean all the pros played before everyone. And sonic didnt use rain until a few weeks before ect everyone used raiden longer then he used rain
Radien/Darrius is no joke. It makes him look broken. Too many Raiden players still stuck trying to play lame with stormcell/kanoball when that plan has been gutted.
SonicFox talks about Khameleon as if she's the only kameo in the game (constantly saying such and such a move works with Kham this and Kham that, now this character has - 50 health and so on) unfortunately at high level play and at Final Kombat, she is/was pretty much the only kameo. The MK meta evolves so slowly.
liu kang is still pretty damn strong in this game, especially with kameos like sektor, MOTARO, kunglao. Liu plays very Vanilla in this game hes essentially playing Mk11, same with scorpion. Very vanilla
Nothing has changed with Baraka or his best kameos since your last tier list when you had him at bottom 5 and now all the sudden you have him in S tier. What exactly changed since then? 😂
Small Tekken and big Tekken are referring to frames. Small Tekken is 10-12 frame moves and big Tekken is anything else, idk what sonic fox is talking about
Lol sonic on some nonesense, general shao high tier??? I would believe it when I see you play him for a while maybe. You said nitara was secretly S tier remember, now she's bottom when you played her 😂
Reptile is easily one of the best characters in MK1, not only that his sweep and mid-range game is super strong, but he can be played at any range depending on the Kameo, and he has one if not the most versatile Kameo list in the whole game.
Its obvious so many nerfs doesnt mean anything for Johnny, just make him do 300 damage at most, like subszero and get on with it. Peacemakers shield should be taken off from the game, even without that he is broken. Scorpion needs to be buffed for sure, no mix at all but getting above 35 percent is a big struggle. But liu kang gets it meterless and he has more mix. Also the road to elder god is too long, most people dont even bother becoming elder god because of that and lastly there were many different modes in mk11, mk1 definitely needs the same or even more.
U can’t hit elder god because you’re trashy. I hit it my first 2 seasons on the game within a week and that’s working 40+ hours and working out every day. Like sonic said make every match a lesson and take in information from every game. Your part of the casual complaining fan base that plays 1-2 hours every other day and complain that you get shit on
@@keishokage4857 Look think of it from a company perspective. If you want to earn more money you want to make a game that not only pro gamers can play and have fun. You will potentially earn money from 1000 people only. And thats what NRS is doing right now. A warrior level player can have more money to spend. So, they dont need to do affiliate marketing here which is a shortcut. They just need to make it more enjoyable by the masses, not just for pro players.
@@andrueis Yeah I agree with that. I'm just saying that Li Mei and Reptile players are the biggest downplayers IMO. They swear their characters are unviable/trash/unusable/ect. even though Reptile has great damage and a lot of mind games from his cancel and Li Mei has her absurd damage output and the only character who can punish pokes for like 35% and up. I'm not saying they're top tier at all, I'm just saying they're solid and the people who play them swear they aren't. I think they could use some buffs to make the balance of the game better and more fun but they honestly dont need that much. I'm surprised the Reptile and/or Li Mei defense team hasn't rushed to this comment section yet with "thEy hAvE gApS yOu CaN aRmoR tHrOugh".

buff ideas, spread the word
Havoc: He needs at least five new attack strings, he needs his legacy move that titan havoc has were he takes off his head and rolls it but its a mid, has the same affect as reptiles acid ball, and also hits mid exploding on contact. he also needs another one of his legacy moves that again titan havoc has where he bends his hole body for a low projectile and the amp of that can be a knock down allowing for combo extentions for cameos like scorpion
Sub-zero: he needs his attack strings made slightly faster except for his overhead, he also needs 1or 2 new attack string launchers, both his regular and amp iceball needs to be faster to not only be able to combo with it off of normal attack strings but in juggle combos too. He should have the ability to throw his ice clone, i also think he should have his ice burst special back with the same proporties as mkx to compliment his ice clone(but just does not send you that far away). lastly he needs some of his damage scailing off ground freeze.

Quan shi: needs his mind control move from mkx back, and make half his attack strings faster. and finally his low tentacle needs to be one bar
Raiden: change raiden's b2 back to the mkx launcher but make it as slow as sub'z b2. give him back his vicinity blast move back with the same properties as mkx. Give him back his mkx amp lightning projectile back for combo extentions but have his regular fully charged move have the same proportys as the amp. he also needs to be buffed by making his amp electrocute special launch no matter how many bars he uses
liu kang: for starters nerf his f4 one button pressure but give him his 113 mkx launcher back along with maybe one or two more new attack strings. make his low fireball slightly faster, change his air fireball to the mkx fireball and the amp the one we have now. give him back his mk 11 dragon parry, and finally make his fatal blow start up 2 hits but the first one restands
kung lao: nerf tf out of his wake up special by making it unsafe af on block. give him back his mkx or 9 spin back but have it have work the same as mk11 so he can use it more than two times in a combo. swap his dive kick now for a mix between his mkx or 9 dive kick. he needs his mkx tp, and his low hat back, but nerf his mix up buttion's he has now by making the overhead follow up slightly slower. give him his mk11 21212 attack string and his mkx 44 launcher attack string back. and also he needs his hat spin.

Ranked FT3 has always been a horrible idea. Nobody wants to spend that much time playing against the same person.
If you beat me in 2 matches, cool I'll go on to the next opponent
If I beat you in 2 matches, cool you go on to the next person.
But potentially playing 5 matches in ONE set is a pain in the ass when you're just trying to chill and have fun/rank up.
I liked ft3 in ranked personally. Gave you some time to adapt. And pulling the reverse 3-0 was awesome
@@AmiriHipHop nah i think for ranked play it should be ft3. if youre just tryna chill and have fun then you play casual.
but if its ranked ft2 isnt enough to adapt to your opponent. it should follow tournament format which is ft3
@@urboi4125 I agree that you have more time to adapt to your opponent but in my opinion. It is what it is 🤷🏻♂️.
I'm not trying to spend 5 matches going against 1 person. This isn't a tournament and we're not playing for money.
If I go against you and you beat me 2 matches, then oh well. I'll go to the next player.
I'm not about to sit and complain "The only reason you won is because it's FT2. If this was FT3 I easily would've figured you out and beat you". It ain't that deep, I had the chance to beat you twice and I lost already.
Tournament Setting w/ Money - FT3 👍🏻
Regular Online Ranked Play - FT2 👍🏻
@@AmiriHipHopRanked in fighting games always imitate tournament rules. Like bro said if you want to chill and play the game then go play kasual’s.
I been telling ppl Lao is garbage. They gave him an armored launcher but dogshit normals. He’s such a non threat without meter it’s crazy.
On god like where the hell is his range??
@@Luuzer2 right?!! No teleport, no z hat, and his 21 string from mk11 would’ve been nice
Not like it matters really you get meter laser fast in this game so the threat of an armor launcher is a constant threat.
@@mkminor3398 okay big whoop u get hit for 30 pct all u gotta do is space him when he has meter or block on knockdown or jump some characters can punish the armor. If you’re patient you’ll beat him easy
Yeah I miss mkx Lao I’d even appreciate if Lao was more like mk9 all of his charm literally goes to his cameo. Why would I wanna use two Kung Laos
This man talking bout big MK and little Mk like he teaching grade school 😂
How tf is Sub-Zero up there with Omni man, and smoke
With khameleon, without he is bottom 3
I so much need to know the thought process behind giving Johnny 9 frame mid while no one else has even like a 10 frame mid???
WTF is that bullshit who came up with this.. does these things happen like accidentaly... ???
Also why does one character has plus frames all over while others don't..???
He’s a rush down, rush down characters have lots of plus frames. They need it, characters with further reaching normals or good zoning don’t need plus frames.
@@AyeeShaad Smoke is a rush down and he has only 1 string I think that's plus frames and has gaps all over.. maybe they thought it's fine cuz he has crazy mix but the result is no one is using him competitively he is only nightmare for the casuals until maybe Grand Master rank..
@@tsvetelin6556 Why would you provide an example of a rush down without a bunch of plus frames and then debunk yourself? Smoke has mix, THATS why he doesn’t have a bunch of plus frames. He also can do INVISIBLE 50/50s, he doesn’t need plus frames, people just don’t use him because his cancels are hard.
@@AyeeShaad Well you're kind of right but cancels are not hard for pro players though and yet no one is even considering him.. But i didn't mean to cry about one of my 3 mains I just meant that there are serious balancing issues I feel like..
@@tsvetelin6556 Cancels being hard for pros is irrelevant, Johnny and Peacemaker are better than Smoke. These people want to win money so they use what’s best
If they give Nitara new strings like they gave Rain, she might be top 5 despite 850 hp. Still my fav to play as ✌️
I think people are starting to figure Ashrah out. She's less strong every season, but perhaps the same could be said of everyone.
I barely go against her so I always fall for her stupid strings
@@Luuzer2 Once you know all her dumb stuff she's... I don't wanna say mid, because mid is "mid" but she can't zone. So she HAS to use either Mavado, Serena or Khameleon. It's not really optional.
@@Luuzer2 Basically, she HAS to use 1 of 3 kameos - Khameleon, Mavado or Serena. She can't zone or deal with zoners, now that the meta has settled. Anything else isn't viable against zoners who know what they're doing.
Ashrah is strong as fk lol great normals, crazy damage, great reach so neutral is strong, plus projectile, dark stance is crazy good, solid over head, amazing armour (probably best in game), and Sareena gives full screen combos. I main Ashrah so can say for a fact if you are playing against a good Ashrah she's a problem.
@@DKray7 She HAS to use Serena, Khameleon, or Mavado. If she doesn't, she's barely top tier.
Ight whoever sonic puts on top of the list will be my main is wat it is😂
Lmao😭 bruh that’s sad
Hope you enjoy the 2 least fun characters in the game
@@TexanSilver Agreed about Johnny, but Peacemaker is actually hella fun to play.
Fight me. Il beat you with sub zero, that is if you even have this game
@@rafaelguerra9608 hell yeah man, Sub-zero on top
so glad tanya isn't getting slept on just cause shes not that popular
It is very reassuring to see that you play exactly like I do in practice mode
Bro why are you looking for things to make you feel better about being ass?
Sonic, could you remove chat from the screen in future videos? It’ll help your YT viewers see what you’re doing in the right corner? The chat box covers up the character you’re combo-ing.
you put my 2 mains next to each other, sweeettt
I love playing kenshi but he’s not as good as everyone thinks he is. I’m
Honestly looking for a second main
As a person new to kenshi I really struggle with opening people in base kenshi with Subzero kameo so I might switch to cyrax
@@Nice_Boy_555spam B2 from range itll whiff punish something eventually with kenshi
@@Nice_Boy_555also s14 ex demon drop or s1 into ex demon drop is a fake little mix that hits unprepared ppl good luck!
@@KaixaDrome yeah I've just started adding that into my gameplay. And is B2 hit conformable? I heard it is in a guide but I can't do it so I just use it as a wiff punish
Only ppl who don't understand this are the clowns who don't play him
I agree with almost everything he says but saying Kitana has no weakness is a little crazy. Her mix is pretty weak outside of wind bomb stuff (which is not easy to get in high level btw since Kitana is not typically putting you in the corner, which is why we dont ever see wind bomb setups in pro play) and she has gaps after the first hits of her 2 best strings, S2 and B2. This might not seem like a big deal until you realize how safe armor can be in this game, and some characters even get full combos on reversal- specifically 2 other top tiers, Lao and Tanya. She's good but yall be up playing this character.
Fully agree. She's been my main since the beta and while she is good, once you lab her, she becomes so exploitable. Also, that Shang matchup is not remotely enjoyable.
@@HALOkid1221 yeah its crazy like these people actually need to play Kitana so they can see some of her struggles. People also just dont exploit her gaps enough.
@@likenoother6561 Say it louder for the people in the back 💯 Gaps in every single of her important strings besides 1,1 and has to commit to basically everything. You also need a great understanding of footsies and neutral which the other top tiers don't. If it weren't for Khameleon, I don't even think Faysal wouldve played her in FK.
He said compared to mileena
@@actsofabundance9079they don’t pay attention for sh*t 😂
Sonic's mic is potato-powered.
I love how honeybee was in the chat hating hard and sonic just ignored him 💀💀 bro always being instead of just listening and wonder why he always lose.. honeybee always find a low tier character to main so he can always lay back on the excuse of character loyalty trying to seem like a victim lol don’t get me wrong honeybee is a goat it’s just annoying on how much he complains about a game with 20+ characters and never plays the rest of the characters , your % of winning anything goes down by over 50 when you put all your time and effort into like 5/20 characters each game
Havik main here, thx for putting him A tier ❤️
Gimme a fast mid on havik and it's over for them all
The old mic is to hide his lisp.
You trippin on that sub placement.
You don't know what you don't know.
@@JR-kv6ezshould we tell him?

Sub is ass
takeda gonna be top 1 once he comes out
Sindel always remains a goat also johnny needs a nerf dude has always be top 3 since launch
what nerd would you suggest?
No he mf doesn’t 🤣
They could make him a bit slower but make him hit harder, no need to nerf, just adjust power elsewhere
@@solemvow6281 that would be worse he’s supposed to be a fast rush down character
No get better@@solemvow6281
Good stuff Sonic!
Exactly buff Lao. I been saying this man. Get rid of that bs armor, and rework him as a character.
Why is this tier lost a hour long 😭😭
Its weird, Tanya is really good but I never see her used. Its not like she's even hard to play either. I've put in decent work with her in KL.
I think it’s cuz she’s boring
@@andiakpan8502 Well Yeah, her combo routes are good, but she doesn't have many optimal ones to be honest.
@andiakpan8502 she needs more strings. She's fun w Cyrax. I've never ran into a mirror match and I've run Tanya/Cyrax 100+ times
@@zephwilliams3010 she does great dmg meterless, or 1 bar. At least she does w Cyrax. That's who I run her with. My kombos are up if you're curious. Couple super short vids
Shaos weakness is zoning and crouch mash
I really like Rain combos in this Game Even if don‘t even if he is not my main
That sub zero placement makes me wanna cry
He did say *only* with Khameleon is he that high, otherwise he’s the lowest.
they need to buff all characters whose tier list placement is solely dependent on Khameleon as a character.
Sub and kham is good wdym???
@@TheCheekPunisher definitely not above some of them, even with khameleom
@@BoHugh why you saying that like he didnt say it in the vid
Sonic, you petty with the Sub shade, dawg 😂
Watching the comment section when Sonic talks is so entertaining lol
This is such a silly pet peeve of mine, but thank you for limiting the S+ tier to one or two characters. Half these tier lists have half the roster in S and A+. Like.. that's now how a tier list is supposed to look.
THANK YOU for tellin the truth about kitana😂
kitana has 0 weakness? shes literally hard countered by mileena completely its damn near impossible to lose to kitana while on mille
Did Sonic record this on a potato?
Great video.
Imagine Beta release Johnny cage versus the whole kast. It’s just crazy how the other characters are bad
This man just called me ass seeing all this tech 😂explained perfectly. Time to improve
Kitana definitely has a weakness, you just have to play her to know it
What is even more legendary than Sonic Fox's skill is his mic😂
Gotta do combos in the left corner if you got chat overlay like that
If they keep going with the nerfs this is going to be a staring contest game with assist
I always found Sonic's opinions to be very questionable,
But the results speak for themselves, taking Final Kombat and being the best player (by far) gives him the title of being the num1 most credible source for opinions lol!
They need to buff caracteres instead of nerfing
Gotta bring back the tutorials/ character breakdowns🙏🏽
I’m finna buss, been waitin on Shang investment. I think he’s the best when the user is morph competent with cyrax goro and Kham, maybe movado
Me gustaria ver una nueva tier list con los buf y nerf de los últimos parches. Me imagino pice maker cae bastante y jonny cage al menos un par de puestos
I really want to see how you would use Havik. He was my main for a while, but I was having a hard time winning against people that actually knew the match up
That's Havik for you. He's a threat when you don't know the matchup. But once you do, you see the landslide of gigantic gaps in his moveset. His armor is so weak you can get a small normal or even string, flawless block it and then punish. His B2 is slow and has a gap on all options, and without Mavado, he loses on every exchange. His s1 range is shit, and his 22 hitbox is so small I get blown up more CONSISTENTLY just because of the tiny hitbox on the 2nd hit making everything whiff
Is the mic on purpose sounding like from the 80‘s?
My guy made a Tier list like its really a debate who is good and who is not. This list ain't never change
@GeeLambohow? He bodied ninjakillas raiden at ect. Doesnt matter whta buffs or nerfs sonic wouldve won no matter what.
@GeeLambo i mean all the pros played before everyone. And sonic didnt use rain until a few weeks before ect everyone used raiden longer then he used rain
Radien/Darrius is no joke. It makes him look broken. Too many Raiden players still stuck trying to play lame with stormcell/kanoball when that plan has been gutted.
Trying to imagine what the raiden darius setups were like 😢 i couldn't see woth the chat blocking the screen
SonicFox talks about Khameleon as if she's the only kameo in the game (constantly saying such and such a move works with Kham this and Kham that, now this character has - 50 health and so on) unfortunately at high level play and at Final Kombat, she is/was pretty much the only kameo.
The MK meta evolves so slowly.
We’re going to see an uptick of Scorpion and Jax players I fear
As a scorpion player I am def gonna explore that
Most of the cast needs to be buffed
Omni Man is my favorite. Great placement. But I'd put him at bottom of S tier.
liu kang is still pretty damn strong in this game, especially with kameos like sektor, MOTARO, kunglao. Liu plays very Vanilla in this game hes essentially playing Mk11, same with scorpion. Very vanilla
Nothing has changed with Baraka or his best kameos since your last tier list when you had him at bottom 5 and now all the sudden you have him in S tier. What exactly changed since then? 😂
Mk1 as a game is D tier unfortunately 😢
Small Tekken and big Tekken are referring to frames. Small Tekken is 10-12 frame moves and big Tekken is anything else, idk what sonic fox is talking about
Lol sonic on some nonesense, general shao high tier??? I would believe it when I see you play him for a while maybe. You said nitara was secretly S tier remember, now she's bottom when you played her 😂
Sikander555 challenged you to a beef set
Reptile is easily one of the best characters in MK1, not only that his sweep and mid-range game is super strong, but he can be played at any range depending on the Kameo, and he has one if not the most versatile Kameo list in the whole game.
Low key sub reptile is annoying asl
Homelander being that low is insane
It’s true wdym he’s ass
Every character is at least S tier when sonic plays them, so don’t wonder
He’s yet to play sub zero to which he says is supposedly a cheap character. But has never touched the character
@@S_o__S_i_c_kmaybe because there’s way more fun characters that he enjoys and are way cheaper.
Why does every tierlist have every single character from A-S
Its obvious so many nerfs doesnt mean anything for Johnny, just make him do 300 damage at most, like subszero and get on with it. Peacemakers shield should be taken off from the game, even without that he is broken. Scorpion needs to be buffed for sure, no mix at all but getting above 35 percent is a big struggle. But liu kang gets it meterless and he has more mix. Also the road to elder god is too long, most people dont even bother becoming elder god because of that and lastly there were many different modes in mk11, mk1 definitely needs the same or even more.
U can’t hit elder god because you’re trashy. I hit it my first 2 seasons on the game within a week and that’s working 40+ hours and working out every day. Like sonic said make every match a lesson and take in information from every game. Your part of the casual complaining fan base that plays 1-2 hours every other day and complain that you get shit on
@@keishokage4857 Look think of it from a company perspective. If you want to earn more money you want to make a game that not only pro gamers can play and have fun. You will potentially earn money from 1000 people only. And thats what NRS is doing right now. A warrior level player can have more money to spend. So, they dont need to do affiliate marketing here which is a shortcut. They just need to make it more enjoyable by the masses, not just for pro players.
@@sireoz3681 nope. Call of duty catered to the mass casual audience and look at the downfall it’s on. Sorry that you can’t get good
@@keishokage4857 What I said was just a good start, many more things need to be done.
No amount of buffs will make Reptile and Li Mei mains happy
Li mei is perfectly fine who’s crying for a buff!?
Imo everyone below raiden could use some buffs
@@andrueis Yeah I agree with that. I'm just saying that Li Mei and Reptile players are the biggest downplayers IMO. They swear their characters are unviable/trash/unusable/ect. even though Reptile has great damage and a lot of mind games from his cancel and Li Mei has her absurd damage output and the only character who can punish pokes for like 35% and up. I'm not saying they're top tier at all, I'm just saying they're solid and the people who play them swear they aren't. I think they could use some buffs to make the balance of the game better and more fun but they honestly dont need that much. I'm surprised the Reptile and/or Li Mei defense team hasn't rushed to this comment section yet with "thEy hAvE gApS yOu CaN aRmoR tHrOugh".
So Sonics conclusion is, besides Nitara and Quan chi, every character with the right Cameo is cheap and broken. He's not even trolling.
