When I fought quan chi in max difficulty he cornered me in a wall, powered up and pulled a nasty combo. Can't recall the name of the combo, but it took about 60%.

Nitara, duh. quick and straight to the point.

have your opponent's back to the wall, Power up and do her big style changing combo. After you pop them up...repeat. without your opponents weapon drawn you'll do 100%+ damage. With it drawn, I don't know.

kung lao is strong too.

i once did nitaras 115% damage combo once, though it was too hard.

i can usually do a 103% damage combo with sonya if i feel like it and if they are against the wall.

but i remember once i did jax's style branch combo three times in a row against the wall, did something like 75% damage.

There you go!! There's no other combo like it in the game.

129% with Nitara...no wall hits, no stuns (ie: not escapable)

Raiden's longest branch combo is very powerful, I think. And it took me like 5 hours to actually get it right in Konquest, lol.

Really? I assume that's with her biggest style branch combo; opponent's weapon drawn?

Sub-Saibot, while Raiden's biggest style branch is powerful (and, yes, very difficult), the fact that Raiden doesn't have a Neijin means it can't compete with some characters that do have one.

By the way, does anyone else find it unusual that Scorpion, the indisputable strongest character in the game, doesn't have any massive-damage combos? But, like Raiden, I guess that's because of his lack of a Neijin.

Also, I really think Kano's Neijin is very under-rated. People usually talk about Nitara, and sometimes Drahmin, as having the strongest Neijins, but I don't think I've ever seen Kano enter this conversation, yet it really is a big one. Quan Chi's is also quite effective, and I find it easy to put myself in a situation to use it safely: just use his Escrima Straight Fist (R + 4), and do the Neijin as the opponent falls. Powered up, opponent backed against a wall, weapon drawn, the Pain Killer combo (1 1 2 3 CS 4 CS) can do 80+% damage.

Alot of you are saying combos in the corner. I hope you dont mean combos with wall hits because after the first wall hit the "Combo" can be escaped by an experienced player by simply hitting left or right to do a tech roll off the wall. Like Konqrr said, Nitara has the most damaging combo in the game.

Shit, didn't realize that...I forgot about the fact that when I try to combo the computer in a corner it usually escapes.

90% with Killing Time? Seems pretty much impossible to me... When I PU it it hardly reaches 60...

The most powerful one *without* a PU I can pull off is one of Kenshi's. Full style branch, levitate, d+1, levitate, telekinetic smash. I think it's about 50.

First of all I should mention that when I said "indefensible" I meant unblockable. For example, "most wall hit" moves can, in practice mode, be repeated ad nauseum, and register as a combo. However, an active opponent can either techroll or block after the first, or any, wall hit. However, if a preprogrammed "dial-in" combo has multiple wall hits, the first, or any, of these, while it can be tchrolled, cannot be blocked.

The Killing Time combo, with all wall hits connecting as such, with Neijin, opponent's weapon drawn, does in fact do 93% damage.

Aha. Ok.

But if an opponent stands against the wall, with weapon(s) drawn, there are much more devastating combos than Kano's style branch from aikido.

Try Quan Chi's full style branch after a PU against the wall. Or, as said, Nitara's. Will probably tilt all energy meters :).

But then again all people I've played are not so stupid that they don't put away their weapons or don't block :).
