Goro has some cool specials thats all i know so far, can someone please explain to me and give me some examples from deception, maybee as to what the tiers could mean.
By looking at what you people on the forum have been saying, it means something along the lines of how easy a character can kick everyones ass when someone knows how to use them.
In that case i would say Scorpion, Diorou, Shujinko, Raiden and liu kang ere all higher tier.
Sub Zero Baraka and Kira were mid
And Sindel kobra and Havik were Lower ?
Please do aid me in my education.

It would depend on how good somebody is with a character. Any could be effective against anyone. I would think Scorpion and Sub Zero will always be strong. They are the two that have been there since the start.
Scorpion's teleport punch was more useful in the older games, I think. They have slowed it down. Too bad. If it was sped up just a bit, imagine the combos you could pull off.
