kano as usual though he will get slept on till people master him

Tiers will only be solid after five or six months the game releases.

Any talk of tiers is premature. Same thing happened with SSF4 with Juri being high tier after tests, turned out she is pretty mediocre. Same with Hakan. Compared to Gief he has no tools.

especially that video where jax broke him and sektor's faces.

I think people underestimated him in MKvsDC. Once people started using him correctly they showed how big of a threat he can be.

1. Kabal (Mk3 moveset, a triumphant return to glory)
2. Stryker (Something just tells me they are going to make him very easy to abuse)
3. Scorpion (Based on the demo, he's ridiculous)
4. Johnny Cage (Same as above)
5. This is really hard...
I want to say Shang if he has his morphs, but if he doesnt he still seems like he can be good
Kung Lao seems like he could be very high up
but I'm very interested in Sheeva. Based on the rumor that she is a very grapple heavy Kharacter, i have to ask if she would play like Alex from SF3, only with an awesome rack. If this is the case, i can easily see her being in the top tier

I think it's waaaaaaay too early to begin thinking about this sort of thing. I mean, we have minimal information about how most of the cast works, the ones we CAN play have likely been reworked, and the game itself has not really been entirely "figured out" in regards to how to use the mechanics most advantageously.

So many unknowns, I can't even begin to speculate.
