Looking to assemble a list of characters with armored launchers

[Noserfatu]

I know could assemble this list all by myself if I spent some time in the lab, but I am a lazy person, so I am not going to do that. I have a funny feeling that armored launchers will have a high correlation with top tier characters. I do think it would be helpful if we had all of this information in one place, so I will kick it off:

Cassie Cage
Erron Black (Outlaw)
Raiden
Kung Jin
Johnny Cage
Sub Zero
Goro
Ferra Tor
Mileena
Quan Chi (Warlock)
Scorpion (on wakeup only?)
Jax
Ermac
Kotal Kahn
Takeda
Reptile
Kung Lao
Shinnok

Maybes that need confirmation:
Mileena
Kano

 

[Tony at Home]

Can't remember, does Lao's Ex Spin have armor in any of his variations?

 

[learis1]

Reptile's mb claw scratch and mb claw pounce launch and have armor I believe.

And Mileena's mb roll.

 

[Gurpwnder]

Johnny Cage's ex.Nut Punch is an armored launcher in all three variations.

 

[Charybdis]

Can't remember, does Lao's Ex Spin have armor in any of his variations?

I think so, I beat out a Bojutsu KJ Staff Spin today with a wake up EX Spin but it could have just been online being weird and not true armour. Bear in mind that it gets multiple hits really quickly so it breaks armour itself.

Tempest wouldn't get that though, so I imagine Buzzsaw and Hat Trick do

 

[Asodimazze]

On the top of my head,Sub-Zero, Goro, Ferra-Torr, Mileena and maybe Takeda, Kotal Khan war god have armored launchers. Probably other characters too

 

[virtiqaL]

Scorpion has an armored launcher? Thought he only had armor on takeout... huh.

 

[Noserfatu]

Scorpion has an armored launcher? Thought he only had armor on takeout... huh.

Is Ex tele not an armored launcher? if not I'll remove. I could've sworn it had armor lol.

 

[Mint]

Quan chis ex portal scoop in warlock variation

 

[virtiqaL]

Is Ex tele not an armored launcher? if not I'll remove. I could've sworn it had armor lol.

Just tested in training, does seem to have a hit of armor. Learn something new everyday.

Just figured it was hard to hit and I usually got away with it out of luck/whiffed pressure, lol.

 

[Phosferrax]

Kenshi, Liu Kang if he uses two bars in Dragon's Fire, Jax.

Technically Kano as well, as ex ball has armour that you can cancel and get a popup.

 

[IIWade3II]

Kotal only in war god i believe

It only has armor if it's used as a wakeup.

 

[FL Rushdown]

Jax and ermac have them.

 

[virtiqaL]

It only has armor if it's used as a wakeup.

Ah, I wish this kind of stuff was clarified in the move list.

 

[Doctor Future]

Takeda's punch fury special has armor on wakeup and launches to a like 35% combo I believe.

 

[RoboCop]

Is Cutthroat Kano's MB launcher armored?

 

[Eddy Wang]

Ah, I wish this kind of stuff was clarified in the move list.

It used to have armor without wakeup, but they nerfed.

Same with Takeda and Ermac

 

[Sulfur]

Shao Kahn

 

[virtiqaL]

Is Cutthroat Kano's MB launcher armored?

No, but I believe MB Ball thing into cancel is basically an armored launcher.

It used to have armor without wakeup, but they nerfed.

Same with Takeda and Ermac

Ah, I see. I was unaware.
