LEADER My KAK, "Jim" Souly because he's me!

CHAMPION Baraka - Because he's one of my best characters, so with plenty of health - wham!

SORCERER Ermac - Sorceror's have hella low health, I'm half decent with Ermac, so he'd be alright here!

SHIFTER Reptile - although Reptile is my favourite character, unfortunately he's not the best fighter, so he'd be good for a shifter I reckon, transforming into everyone else!

GRUNT Sub Zero, 'cus he's my best character, and a bastard to beat So with plenty of him - wooh!

Noob as the grunt as he's so effective in wiping everyone out.

The Leader would have to be Rain. He's probably become my best player.

The Champions would be Sareena due to her speed and agility. She cleans up quickly.

My sorcerors would be Shinnok or Quan Chi.

And the Shifter would be any one of Mavado, Mokap, Jade, Kitana and many others...

I use about 40 or more characters.

Leader: Chameleon (3rd best, Crane is a great style)

Champion: Reptile (1st best)

Sorcerer: Quan Chi (Not only appropriate, but my 4th best)

Shifter: Kano (5th best, but doesn't matter really, as he'll change anyways alot of the time)

Grunt: Kung Lao (2nd best)

grunt-Sareena... i'm pretty good with her

shifter-Reptile..... i do okay with him, but it don't matter b/c most of the time i'll be someone else

sorcerer-Quan Chi.....does good damage and i remember all of his combos

champion-Scorpion..... do very wellwith him imo

leader-Shinnok(duh)....... my best character

My preferencial team would be:

Leader: Ashrah
Champion: Kitana
Shifter: Stryker
Sorcerer: Sareena or Li Mei
Grunt: Baraka

Well, Kitana is my best fighter, I can protect myself with Ashrah, I can fight with Stryker when it's need, both Sareena and Li Mei are good, even perhaps with low healthy and Baraka was an amazing grunt in Deception.

Leader: Bo Rai Cho (Love him and his drunken fist.)
Champion: Johnny Cage (Not a cage fan but i own ass with him.)
Shifter: Stryker (Like you didn't know lol.)
Sorcerer: Fujin or Chameleon (Tough Choice)
Grunt: Shao Kahn (I use him to clean grunt house.)

Leader: Quan Chi
Champion: Moloch
Shifter: Shinnok
Sorcerer: Noob Saibot
Grunt: Scorpion

The hell team.

Leader: Sonya
Champion: Jax
Shifter: Cyrax
Sorcerer: Kenshi
Grunt: Stryker

Special Forces + Stryker

Leader : Onaga
Champion : Scorpion
Shifter : Stryker
Sorcerer : Quan Chi
Grunt : Baraka

Leader: Cage!
Champion: Scorp, or Sub, or Hsu
Sorceror: Ermac
Shifter: Chameleon
Grunt: Mokap!

My Line Up...

Leader: Tanya
My second strongest character. I didn't want to use my best because I only have one leader and it would seem a bit of a waste. I also didn't want to use anyone lower in my top five as this piece is so vital to the team. So she seemed fitting.

Champion: Dairou
My third strongest character. The champion is the guy/girl who is like second to the Leader and is ordered to kill for them. Dairou, being a mercenary, seems like he fits this role better then anyone in my top 5. Also, I always used to use him as my Champion in MKD, so there is also that sense of sentimentality.

Sorceror: Ashrah
My fourth strongest character. She sort of has a sorceress sort of appearance to her, so I thought that it was appropriate for her. Also, like Dairou, I also gave her the same role in MKD, so it is very fitting for her I think.

Shifter: Jade / Kira / Fujin
I can't decide who is my fifth strongest, so I will just mix these guys. Jade used to be my Leader in MKD, but with the loss of Kuo Shou, I can't play her as good. Kira is about as good as Jade IMO - Yuan Yang is awesome. Fujin is also really cool. Any of these characters would fit in, and because usually I wouldn't be playing as them, it seems that the worst of my top 5 is the most fitting.

Grunt: Sheeva
My best character in the game. As I have a lot of Grunts, I believe my strongest character should have the most representatives. I use my Grunts as my main attackers, and if they are strong enough, they can take out the whole team without having to worry about using my other pieces. Plus with those Green Squares that I always take, I always reveive health bonus, so health isn't such a big deal.

They would have to make restrictions such as the boss characters can only be your leaders and should have half heath.

Leader: Smoke
Champion: Scorpion
Shifter: Ashrah/Mavado/Rain/Sektor (Can't decide)
Sorcerer: Tanya
Grunt: Kabal

Funny how I was thinking about Chess Kombat MK:A style a few days ago.

Leader:Baraka
Champion:Li Mei
Sorcerer:Ermac
Shifter:Liu Kang
Grunt:Noob Saibot

That was my team in Deception. So if MKA had chess,I would still use this team(esp. Baraka and Li Mei)

Leader - Baraka
Champion: Kitana (best)
Sorceror - Nightwolf
Shifter - Mileena
Grunt : Ashrah (second best)

Leader - kak im good with him OR Sektor (only if kak cant be used) hes a leader and im good wit him
Champion - scorpion one of my favs and bests
Shifter - Chamleon his name and i can use him if i have to
Sorcerer - shinnok fun to use dont expect to use him
Grunt - Sareena im good with her and shes fast

Leader:Onaga

Champion:Sektor or Stryker

Sorceror:Reptile or Noob Saibot

Shifter:Chameleon or Sareena

Grunt:Sheeva or Fujin

Team Dominate:

Leader: My kak with the best specials and fighting style
Champion: Chameleon
Shifter: Stryker
Sorceror: Shinnok
Grunt: Liu Kang nothin like an kung fu zombie army!

BTW did anyone else think to use their KAK in their chess team?

Leader: Sub-Zero (i fight defensive so i don't have to take many hits)
Champion: Noob (i pwn so hard with him, Best Character imo)
Sorceror: i dunno, Sektor (never fight with these guys anyway)
Shifter: Scorpion (i try to kill enemy shifters first cuz he's one of my best)
Grunt: Quan Chi (quick and powerful, great against low health guys)
