Let's Get This Video 1,000 Likes for Tier List Hype!!
Which Character do You Think is the Strongest Now?
Which Fighter is the Weakest? Comment Below!
Havik has buffs Is good is just your bad at the game
Baraka still is good with kano or Stryker he isn't just good with Cyrax so stop always saying that and honestly just get good
Bro flexed his biceps frame 1 of the video
exactly what i wanted to say
Dude works out for sure
😂Slid that in to get a lil affirmation. We see u Dawg💪🏾
We need him as a guest character 💪💪
He does that all the time lol
4:33 you had that prepared XD
oil up little vro..
@@SonicHaXD I genuinely did not 😆
Whats the pause for tho 🤔
@@soulsleakno u
Bro sneak in some bicep flex there 💪🏾
I don’t get why people say Quan chi is bad, he’s got some great combos and a good number of mixups.
He not bad he just bottom 5
@@foreverguwap_that's bad
I hate fighting quan man. I kno he has terrible buttons and bad frames and all that but every quan I've ever fought is a mashin fuckin fool. I cant stand it.
He’s unnecessarily slow. From a cage main perspective, Cage can get in his face and counter so much of his kit, despite Quan Chi’s zoning advantage. Most characters can kinda zone out Cage if they predict his movement right, but Quan Chi is lacking because he’s so slow. Plus he doesn’t have amazing neutral gameplay, so it’s almost always down to luck if you hit. I personally hate fighting Quan Chi, but as I got better, I realized that getting in with him is unfairly easy and I hate it. Quan Chi is almost pure zoning and Cage is a rushdown. I don’t like that Quan Chi suffers from his slowness.
a yes ass frames, literally the worst down 1, you need cameo or bar if you want a real mix up and combos mix up whit low requers 2 bars, low health, and if you think zoning nop his zoning is ok, reiko has better proyectiles
The reason Ermac wasn't played as much in tourney is because his gameplay heavily relies on rushdown to overwhelm the opponent into mix-ups, but the name of the game is to play lame- and that's just not quite as possible with Ermac. Ermac is definitely top 10; tourney doesn't ultimately decide the best characters because everyone is playing scared, and doesn't want to take any risks.
Man! I noticed this when I started playing with smoke (I’m a scorpion main that got bored). People see a “top” tier character and all they wanna do is backup and do projectiles. Shit is crazy
Ermac is slow
@@westspill574projectiles are part of the game and are a keep out for super strong rushdowns
Your logic makes no sense when Johnny is rushdown as well and he's well represented in tournaments.
@@rc2788 Johnny has the plus frames to take full advantage of his rushdown style. Johnny wasn't even nerfed that much; he's still #1 on the roster, despite what TrueUnderdog thinks. What doesn't make sense is you thinking every rushdoen character has to play like Johnny. No. That is boring, and no one would watch or play MK1, if that were to be the case.
Every character on the roster is unique for a reason; It's for creativity. Please, use deductive reasoning BEFORE you start entertaining yourself. 🤦♂️
I haven't been able to win at Mortal Kombat since MK4 where all you had to do was use quan chi tele stomp and uppercut.
Sub is only viable with a single kameo. Take khamelion away and he’s bottom tier. Move him down. Also, ball roll doesn’t fix his gaps. Not sure where you got that. Ball roll is incredibly punishable.
Insanely punishable!!! Like wth
That's cap you just suck
Sareena actually works ngl
Sub might be bottom tier but in my opinion but he's Johnny cage without plus frames
N less damage
The only main thing I disagree with is smoke. If u pair him with sareena online where it’s hard to react to his either low or overhead combo starter, u don’t have to use his cancel to combo off it either, ur just use her scythes. Smoke/sareena is the most common team I see for smoke online
Best smoke is from Brazil, he plays smoke with Jax, insane pair
Bro I can’t wrap my head around you put katana lower than Li mei
Shit wild
Rain is definitely an NRS fave. Some trivia: Ed Boon is an enormous fan of Prince and loves the song Purple Rain. Now take a look at the character with that in mind :) Great video as always!
Kenshi is op, I get destroyed anytime sentos comes out any noob can hold block while controlling sentos. I don’t use it myself bc it’s not fair and to just make the opponent block and not let them play the game. It’s a broken feature
Need more Kenshi players like you lol..I would only use sento against the 3 broken super heroes to teach those cheese players a lesson😂.. sub main here💪
Wait no ur so sweet awwh
When kenshi pulls out sento focus on kenshi not sento everything sento does is a high so you can crouch block it
Homelander: "I'm stronger! I'm smarter! I'm... I'm BETTER! I AM BETTER!"
I don’t think GERAS is really that low. He has some of the craziest setups I’ve seen and he’s quite versatile in my opinion. I recommend watching domoralize as he’s the best GERAS and uses him very uniquely.
I just wish he had more ways to counterzone aswell as get people out of his face, and maybe a projectile of his own
Nah he's great just nobody really plays him so they think he's trash
Id like to see reptile buffed to top tier by making his attacks faster and maybe his force ball go full screen.
The bicep flex 💪
Glad to see Peacemaker get the nerfs, the broken cheese needed to stop lol
I agree with the input on smoke, having to master 'vapors' just to be an effective toon, does seem like allot. He's still hella fun though.
I am surprised on Tanya, doesn't come off as that strong a toon.
Rain got crazy buffed. But, so did Geras just recently. I am wondering, if your list is based off pre-patch or current?
I think they should make haviks strings faster and being able to cancel is arm launcher the same way ermac and rain can cancel and continue with the combo since it’s so slow slight damage buff and new moves and new launchers and taking away the gaps he has except for the grab one I just think he needs to be faster also being his projectiles stronger and faster and if the projectiles already out it shouldn’t get cancelled out if he is hit bc it makes no sense for that to happen
Despite the nerf on cyrax baraka is still crazy broken in regards to range. just saying.
Nah, they gutted cyrax/baraka 8 months ago 😂😅. The "Nerf" cyrax got im pretty sure only reverted cyrax back to the way he was before they "accidentally" buffed him.
Sure but their chip damages is freakin insane plus the button mashing on barakas 4444 and his 2 1 down forward 2 along with cyrax's full bar propeller is annoying af.
List looks good but you got Homelander tier 1 and Peacemaker tier 3 when SonicFox has Homelander tier 3 and Peacemaker tier 1 post nerfs so idk 🤔
homelander is still new. Hes still being learned by most players, also peacemaker is basically shit now, his nerfs destroyed him
After lots of time playing Homelander I did think SonicFox had him a bit too low on his tier list, but I don’t think Peacemaker is bad enough to be a tier 3 character. He’s still viable enough to be a tier 2 imo
@@hunzhunz-lo3xnI agree I played with peace maker and he is just absolute trash aside from his spamming attack which are safe because of distance but his bf2 which also has armor is punishable which literally at high levels one fk up and half your health is gone. Than you have his attacks, most are highs which let people down poke you the second you start an attack. He has a mid but it’s extremely slow!!! Like16 frames start up or something dumb like that. None the less he has an unblockable grab but you can down one and turn into a problem for peacemaker if he tries it.
I think garris is scarier than people give him credit for, that Sand a trap change made it so that s12 and f24 both get a full combo mid and corner, Movado lets him get full combos off his command grab and regular throw, trimmer. Lets him get full combos off his command grab and regular throw, trimmer. Also lets him get armor breaking 50/50s anytime he decides to do a combo and end it with 1221+3, plus the consistent launcher and different combo routes both cameos offer him. The inevitable being 21 frame startup now means that if you so much as here or see any projectile on screen or any normal, instant time freeze into combo into another clock setup.
However, buffing the raw command grab is a damn good idea, drives me nuts that the only way to make the command grab lethal is in the corner where it does 19% if you throw them out of the corner, trimmer is the only Cameo I have found that I can convert off the side of switching grab. So it becomes an actual threat then, but it takes a full Cameo bar for it and a little bit of setup since the best I found was using the inevitable snap after ambushing into the low ground pound to side switch to put them back in the corner and keep comboing
day 1 li mei main yall been sleeping just wait until people discover li mei/darrius
am also a Day one Li Mei main but she's not supposed to be at the top tier she still needs some buffs
Same she’s just such an awesome character in MK1
I'll have to lab that darrius kameo with her. I typically run scorpion kameo for the juggle capability
@@kylew7180 I use mostly khameleon, also use subzero,sektor, with her & Sonya
@sage_e_sage hmm, I've never considered the subzero kameo.
I don't game allot really. Today I played Mortal Kombat 1 twice, that is how much I love this game. I still get confused on which kameos to put with which characters but over all I am really enjoying this game.
Raiden’s chip was massively nerfed, I’m pretty sure Scorpion has better chip damage now.
As a li mei main I’m surprised that you put her in very strong I think she have to be in lacking I love her but she still needs buffs
Man I remember everyone sleeping on Kitana day 1 and I was enjoying playing her a bunch. Glad she's getting more recognition now
I haven't finished the video yet but seeing as we're in the plz buff tier and Geras still hasn't been put on the list makes me so upset. I just started learning this character and he's so fun but I really feel his issues :(
Baraka is definitely not lacking 😂
Peacemaker is not S tier anymore his forcefield is useless is way too slow. And some of his attacks is even more unsafe. And his health so low so if someone do a 450 plus damage just 2 times? You’re 💀
bro is crazy
Omni-man slept on? Are you on drugs? Every other match is against an Omni-Man.
I went back to mk11. Breath of fresh air
Going from the best MK back to the worst MK must have been whiplash.
@@mrlee3412 whatever makes you feel you're playing a great game..
Really? Because I swear people say 11 is the slowest game.
@@kingjb554 it is slower in movement but gameplay is way more polished
Bro Baraka is top 10 and lao top 5
Easily. Underdawg doesn't play the game much so he has no clue what he's talking about.
Thank you idk why this man never puts kung Lao top tier
Yes kung Lao but not baraka
@@lukaszizas6585 what? Lmao😂
Baraka is noob stomper 😹😹
Hey underdawg, I first comment in any video for the first time ever!
I really don't like the whole, let's destroy the top tiers method of balancing. All you did is make two characters unappealing, and there will always be some new busted af replacement.
It would be better to make the characters meet halfway.
Nerf the top tiers less, buff the low tiers more.
Not gonna lie i feel that NRS has a straight vendetta against havik. No buffs since season 1. But constant indirect nerfs. All the while glaring flaws all over eg. Projectile startup. Or the so easily interruptible back 22 which is his only actually viable string and also the fact that his down 1/4 doesnt cancel into anything unlike everyone else or even jails. And the biggest culprit a lack of instant armour move. 3 hits of enhanced armour means nothing if the opponent can just casually take a nap and react to it or be so slow the armour can be easily broken like by liu or even mileena. I dont know why NRS is not buffing but nerfing him instead.
Uh.. they literally just buffed him.
@@bloodspittingspartan5002 but said buffs did nothing to address any of his glaring flaws. Minus 1 frame for standing 3/4. No one uses it. Though small point they made 1 string for mix safe from like minus 15 on block.
And watch as when all of this becomes outdated when Tekada and the Kombat pack 2 characters come out.
Oh Trueunderdawggaming I have seen from interloko and the grunt noises that sound like Kotal Kong are indeed his voice lines and to prove this if you do chapter 15 of story mode and you choose Gearus when Kitana gets tackle you get to hear Kotal Kongs grunting
Bro you spelled Takeda, Kotal Kahn, and Geras’ names wrong
Tekada 💀
Kotal Kong 💀☠️
Gearus 💀☠️🪦
@@iamb0nk3rs that’s what I’m saying lol 😂
Havnt played Mk in 20 years , Just got MK1 a couple days was in tutorial challenges & when i got to Li Mei i was like wow her specials are easy to do & her combos are crazy .. Then i look her up on yt & everybody saying she got buffed & now S tier .. guess i couldnt have picked a better time to get into mk , My main apparently finally getting love 🤷🏽♂️😂
So will the final 8 not just be Johnny and Peacemaker now? (I guess not the latter because of how he got nerfed) And everyone still using chameleon and kano as cameos?
Adding Homelander, Peacemaker, Omni-Man, Ghostface, T-1000, and Conan was amazing.
Best DLCs in MK history. Z
geras got Great dmg with lao motaro its like 50 % + 1 bar break mixups low launcher overhead and CMG mixups and you put on buff pls idk prob have to make geras broken hello
Rain is him
Hot take, I think Havik should be a grappler, remove his projectile of bf1 and keep his bf3 for pressure like Kitana with her db3, then give him more moves that are throws that grab low as well, which makes him cool
Remove his bf1? His only way to launch you without a kameo? Are you insane? Also the only reason that kitanas fan is good for pressure is that the projectile comes out fast and the recovery is long, but with havik it has a long startup meaning with most of haviks better kameos, like mavado or jax, doing any move into bf3 on block is only good if your opponent is not the brightest, otherwise you'll be caught with your head in your hands. This take hotter than the shit that burned haviks face
@@iamb0nk3rs Maybe just make him not be able to spam it
That’d be dope, except I’d think to remove the bf3 because it isn’t as reliable as the bf1,
And that could then be the low command grab because it’s a kick button too
@@kdg_108 it makes him unique and he would stand out a lot, which would also bring something to the meta of fighting games, a lot command grab mix up, one that can be ducked and one that needs to be probably countered or something
@@TheMetaleeth it's just as spammable as most of the other projectiles in this game, and if anything havik needs it more 💀
Where's your Buddy Diff?
Wow! My boy Liu Lang is S Tier. I like that. I always thought Liu Kang is A Tier but you shocked me on that one!
16:10 Burrito Voorhees just got 5th at CEO last week and used Geras the entire time!
Scorpion has some really good mixups his >A+Y >O+triangle >B+Y is really good you can give so many teleport cancles and predict alot of things and air spear chain combos it jumps from 20% to like 50% and you only need like 2 bars its pretty easy to play him I'm not saying hes top there but he is still should be and the very good tier
Man, I wish Neatherrealm would get the rights to a Marvel game.
It’s gotta be rated “Mature”, and not get the Injustice treatment.
Ninja killa was using Milenas movement gimmick months ago
On fun factor, Omni-man and homelander top the charts, THE POWER!!!!!
Homelander is atm like nerfed version of injustice 2 superman.
Facts about Smoke. He's a Yolo fighter.
Good vid boss
I picked up Li Mei as soon as I got the game so I’ve been sitting pretty
MY REALM GOT DESTROYED THANK YOU TRUEUNDERDAWG
12:41 I truly think smoke isn’t that good but I’m just bad and have a hard time blocking him lol
Baraka Jax is very good and has really good damage. I feel its slept on.
lowkey ima stand w that kitana is way better than li mei
Ima Liu kang guy so I’m cool…
Sub needs more
Kenshi makes it 3-v1 so I’m over him
That’s crazy you put Mileena that high considering she has ZERO safe combos each one can be upblocked for crazy damage. Each one of her Sai throws are by far one of the worse in the game on BLOCK, they can’t hit full screen and if you throw them up close -16 standing on block & low Sai is -23 on block. Every female fighter can throw a projectile and be safe on block
I main Mileena and I 100% agree! She's way overhyped. Everything is punishable, no safe mixups, and the worst neutral in the game. No range whatsoever.
@@WaveGawd912 exactly! I main her too & I’m we are on the exact same page. For example her twin can throw fans all the living long day directly in your face and be safe. It’s like we can’t throw Sai’s full screen without burning meter, but if we’re mid and they block after we throw it’s so negative on block you get full punished we can’t do anything about it. Why should I have to use kameos to make the most common attacks safe for her. And one mid string that hardly comes out if you’re not mashing and zero 50/50s
@DavidKB30 Facts! She bottom 10, maybe even bottom 5 in my opinion. Only thing she has going for her is damage with the right kameo. That's IF you can land a hit.
Bro geras is stronk , havent you seen his breaker with only two bars and get all his life again?
Nitara is one of the scariest characters to fight when she is in the right hands and wirh the right kameo. Ermac I would rate higher too ...
Buff Shang Tsun?! Wow 😂
Smoke lacking is crazy
Liu Kang Too Stronk is wild
TAKEDA! I’m still waiting 😵😱 UGH! SO close! I just hope he’ll still be fun and a cool character!
Have you seen the teaser for him? Looks fun from what little they showed.
I’m surprised Quan chi isn’t further up
I do think that they nerfed peacemaker a bit too much
I think it was pretty deserved, it was so annoying playing against peacemakers that couldn’t do a combo and spammed eagly and the pistol every 2 seconds
I completely agree but if you have a character that goes from top 2 to below average, I would think that it’s going a bit too far
@@bran2045 yeah you got a point
Kenshi is too slow, he is not S tier absolutely and Homelander is the top 1
Who would kitana’s and Sindel’s main kameo be? Please help trying to figure out
Bro I like your content but bro never make a tier list again
That's how you use Pause 😂They not like us😂
MK11 menu was way more better and not as confusing. It took me like a minute to find match against AI and i dont even know can i change kosmetics abilities and other stuff to any character ?
Reiko main here🎉🎉🎉
Unpause I was sleeping on Kitana 😈
He forgot reiko
Tier's out guns out! 💪
Johnny got nerf and went from numer 1 to number 2 smh great nerfs smh
Are Li Mei’s buffs really that good?! Her reversal lion lick against d1s was already there. She forces players to rely less on d1s. Her 4312 string has no gap now, right? But it still starts as a high. Exploding her own lantern will make it hit mid now but the horizontal range is still bad. Her f3 has faster recovery but still not that useful imo.
I’m not complaining and I’m a Li Main. I was gonna be excited about her mid lantern but it doesn’t seem that different. Also, her combo damage with Janet got nerfed.
Omni-man can do about 41-46% damage mid-screen, no meter AND no kameo 😵 He isn’t as stubby as Li Mei.
Fujin is my fave’ MK character so I can admit he was tops in 11.
I’ll hold out on where to place Li Mei but I can see how Li Mel could be top 10. Not too surprising.
Do they allow the ninjas to have extra cheese every game? I get an up block or its clearly my turn and sub zero, smoke, or scorpion, can jump out of immediate grab attempt. Scorpion seems like he can jump over any projectile or clear hit in time while other characters can get hit by my attacks. Lastly, i don't think the dev team plays this game online before release. You almost need computer like speeds to react to hits and kameos online.
im so glad everyone ( too late ) finally knows that smoke is buns. buff my boy
You should rank bottom up to finish with the top characters.
Never disagreed more with somebody than you. But I guess you're just farming us for interactions.
He doesn't play the game how is lao so low
putting liu kang before tanya reiko and possibly rain/kitana is criminal and makes this list not definitive
just saw u put li mei on top LMAO alright
So there is no average to compare all characters to...
no way scorpion is there he is bad
This was a pretty good list. I would only probably personally put Scorpion up a little higher, but I still think this list feels about right with everyone..
Well, okay, I would probably rate Scorpion, Reptile, and Ermac higher personally, lol.. But I'm still good this! 🔥👍
#MK1🔥🐉
Better tier list than Sonic foxes
Exactly this one fits casuals better
You forgot Takeda and Reiko 2
So which main fighters and cameos are tournament viable?
Mk1 doesnt have numbers in Evo which is worrying
My favorite Mortal Kombat character is Kenshi and Stryker 🎉😅🎉😅😊

Takeda wasn't out yet when he made this list, he first became playable on July 23rd
S tier
Kenshi
Sindel
Johnny Cage

Thanks TrueUnderDawgGaming for New Definitive Tier List.
And I really don’t understand why people say quan chi is bad he is the most annoying character when he open his portal that drains your meter is game over he has armour and is impossible to do something
When did the update release? I just turned on my ps5 and there was no update
UnderDawg in your opinion who's the best Character to use for the average casual player that's a not that good like me?
There's two Reikos and no Mavado
well he wasn’t rating kameos
Haven't played in a while, What did they do to my Boy Kung Lao??
Rain belongs between Johnny and Liu in the top 5
NRS needs to make mileenas sai toss full screen
