Your 5 most average characters

[coconutshrimp]

We've seen many threads about "Who's Top 5" or "Who's Bottom 5", but not really about who do you think are the most average. How to describe an average character can be difficult generally someone whose gameplan, strategy, or general tools are good, but can be done better by a good amount of the cast or done worse by a good amount of the cast. I feel this will be much more interesting to discuss as the Top 5 and Bottom 5 have been discussed to death.

1. Liu Kang - great pressure, great zoning, meh everything else.

2. Scorpion - Great air control, combo damage, meh otherwise.

3. Kotal Kahn - I don't personally play him but playing against him for the most part he seems hella honest.

4. Johnny Cage - Very similar to Liu as far as pressurw. Differen't but definitely good. Otherwise, meh.

5. Kung Jin - I uses to feel that he was OP then I realized he wasn't. Decent space control due to njp, decent mixups. Otherwise, meh. Very honest.

Interesting choices. I can agree with these choices.

Predator - great tools but looses the ability to block on knock down. Devastating bug that kills an otherwise balanced character.

Quan Chi - broken zoning and vortex but just like predator his R2 breaks the second he gets knocked down.

Shinnok - I heard this character struggles in footsies

Tremor - Abysmal zoning, might as well be patched out the game.

Tanya - Pressure is awesome but there's gaps in it so it's basically useless.

 

[Daemantalo]

Kano, Kung Jin, Kotal Kahn, Liu Kang, and Erron Black. These guys are perfectly balanced and the definition of average to be honest. In terms of character "honesty" I would say Kano and Kotal are probably the two characters in this game that no one would be truly salty about losing to.

I see what you did there.

Explain this to me,I'm slow.

stop making threads.

 

[Invincible Salads]

kano is definitely the meh est of the meh.

 

[WATCHD0G]

whoever voted for D'vorah....i don't give a damn if you were joking or not.......

 

[Schuyler]

People sleep on kung jin now hes still a great character.

 

[Alien Substance]

Ssssssssssssssssssstoooooooooooooooooooooopppppppppppppppppp

<--- Doesn't know much about Takeda:
After the recent patch changes, where would you place Takeda, Mr. Muffin? Above average, below average or what?

stop making threads.

The forums are made for discussions. Besides that, this has the potential to be a more interesting topic than the threads about who's top 5/bottom 5, imo.

 

[WATCHD0G]

agreed i hovered over him for a sec but then i was like hell no he still wrecks shit

 

[FinalBoss_FGC]

Define average? Too broad.

Define average? Too broad.

i think he means mid card characters that aren't that great all around, yet they still do some work from time to time.....i could be wrong. he could also mean characters that don't grab your attention much.

You've pretty much described what I mean. It is kind of difficult to define average, but what you've said is pretty much what I was trying to get at.

 

[SaltShaker]

Kano takes the cake on this free. 3 full variations that work well, are completely different, aren't too strong, but aren't weak.

 

[IMakeItL00kC00L]

Kano is the definition of average in this game. Fortunately "average" in this game means good

 

[StealthyMuffin]

I'd say he's about average. His losing MUs outnumber his winning MUs, but most fights are 5-5. Nice avatar, btw. :]

 

[smellyloser]

Sonya's pretty much the epitome of average in this game.
