Which variation matchups should be interesting?

[PainForge]

Of two of my favorite variations so far, I'll be looking to watch/play a match of relative opposites. Kung Jin: Bojutsu (close range staff) vs Takeda: Lasher (long range whip). From the moves demoed in the video streams, how do you think a match like this might generally play out? What about others you are looking forward to?

That match needs both players consciously whiff punishing normals and baiting. It would be a good match I think to watch.

I think A-list cage vs Goro would be good IF what Boon says is true and he plays like Doomsday. Total rushdown fest!

 

[FiNCu]

Hard to say but we can speculate.Most exciting matches for me are grappler Vs grappler.Blind pick Goro Vs Jax (I bet both have grappler variation)

 

[ShArp]

Displacer Raiden vs. Etheral Mileena = teleport fest.

EARTHSHAKER IS BACK? WE HAVE TO GRIND BLOCKING THAT AGAIN? maybe the hard work will actually pay off online if the netcode is good

 

[Rice]

Stunt Double Johnny vs. Inferno Scorpion

 

[kabelfritz]

Noxious Reptile vs. Venomous D'vorah should be interesting.

first match ever where no one does anything

 

[kabelfritz]

im curious how kotal will do against strong zoners

 

[xWildx]

I'm honestly wondering if Kitana can reflect Ferra when Torr throws her....

Lol It'd be funny if Ferra legit bounces back and hits Torr, however the most likely thing is Ferra counts as a physical hit and will just stuff the reflect (unless it's a physical counter too).

Lol playing like doomsday doesn't mean that he has a move like earth shake I think he means he's a fast paced pushdown character with lots of mixups

 

[REDRUM]

nothing will top the Jax (CARL WEATHERS skin) vs The Predator

dam his arm still shootin' after Predator slices it off doe

 

[Magnum Magpie]

Thunder God raiden vs Dualist liu kang orbs everywhere

 

[RYX]

prison shiv erron black vs prison shanks mileena

Sure, but what are the chances of him NOT having at least shoulder?

Huh? How am I supposed to know. I don't know

 

[Pterodactyl]

Spectral Ermac vs Lasher Takeda will probably be hilariously one-sided.

 

[Wetdoba]

Spectral Ermac vs Lasher Takeda will probably be hilariously one-sided.

But Unbreakable Subzero will body Lasher Takeda free with ice shield.

 

[Peckapowa]

Stunt double cage vs fisticuffs

 

[xXstealthflameXx]

Mileena vs Mournful Kitana. Mileena will get to beat the shit out of both her "sisters" at once

 

[Slick Tony]

Fisticuffs Cage vs. Flame Fists Kang

It would be like a bag of chips. Lots of salt.

 

[HeroesNZ]

Revenant Liu Kang vs Raiden.

Those salty intro quotes though.
