I'm not asking for your favorite character.
Or your top 3 favorites. Not your top 5.

I just wanna know who is your #1 go-to-guy/gal. Example: you like playing as Scorpion, but then you're getting your ass beat. Who is that one special character you know you can count on in the next match to get you your victory back?

Mine?

LIU KANG.

Liu Kang isn't my favorite character. But I just play as him so well it's like I'm unstoppable. See how this works? Okay. Your turn....

Sonya's my favourite character but she also happens to be a motherfucking monster in this game. I'm trying to strengthen my Sindel at the moment so I'm predominantly playing as her lately but if things start falling apart I can always rely on Sonya. Dat stance.

Johnny Cage.

I'm not great at the game, mind you, I only play with my own circle of friends who are button mashers or never remember all the moves...so I have no idea how legit good he is. I just know that if I'm having trouble beating one of them, or keep losing to the computer doing a challenge or something, the tide always seems to turn real fast when I bring Johnny in.

my go-to's are the lin kuei warriors. SMOKE & SUB-ZERO (human sub). i love the combos they have. if i wanna go with a quick combo kinda fight i pick Smoke cuz he's just mad fast, and if i wanna play more of a safe playing, or manipulating kinda game, i use Sub-Zero. You can never go wrong with these 2, i love em haha.

Sindel. Always hated her as a character but I can just open a can of whoop ass with her.

I wish I was as good with Sonya (my fave of all) but shes actually not my best.

It's a difficult question to answer. I can play numerous characters competently, but If I'm not winning with Smoke, I'm probably not going to win, lol. He's definitively my best character. At my peak, I guess I'd say Sindel, but only because no one in my scene really knows the match-up.

Cage is amazing. IMO, he's the best non-S-tier character in the game.

Toss up between Sonya and Quan Chi. They are definitely my best and I usually count on either of them if I find myself in trouble.

Scorpion & Mileena. Small amount of combos = easy to remember. Don't even need to abuse teleport. In fact it's more unexpected (therefore likely to connect) when not abusing their TP. They can reach high, poke low and go from above really quickly too.

My #1 go to character would be Nightwolf. But Him, Kenshi and Tanya have been close ones for years in this area.

Kitana, love playing footsies and she is all about footsies with her d+1 / d+4 / 2, 1 / f+2, 1 / b+1, 2 / b+3, 3 / 3, 3.

She can also zone, pressure, mix-up, do nasty meterless damage and unbreakable damage, has a strong air control and solid anti-airs. So she's a nice well-rounded character (upper mid-tier, lower top-tier), fun to play as and she is the character I'm most confident with (plus, I know her frame-data much more in-depth than of any other character).

She's also my favorite character in the game.


Sektor is my #2 go-to guy/gal in the game and lately I'd say Shang Tsung would be my #3 character, which reminds me that I need to update my sig. lol

Btw, hated Tsung at first, fell in love with his gameplay a couple of months back. Those full-screen fireball combos that juggle opponents all over the place. Love it!

Sektor, the baddest 'borg on the block. As soon as an enemy jumps I can simply pull out a teleport punch, which is then followed by at least a 25% combo.

Lately though, even my go-to Sektor has been getting bested by my cousin, who's an avid Cyrax player... those cursed 60% combos are not fun to be on the receiving end of...

I mained Jonny Cage online, I would say I was "Okay" with him I havent played the game in a while so thats probably lessened to shit.

To be honest my main game plan was to wait for Scorpion to try his telepunch and then do a short combo. My backup character was Ermac, its good to have a character that can teleport some times.

I have two, and for similar reasons:

Ermac/Kenshi

I've learned that the quickest and most useful method gamers use to win in Mortal Kombat, or any fighting game for that matter, are long combos.

This, however, would require the player to be within contact range. Ermac and Kenshi, however, are exempt. Not only are they able to attack from a distance, but I've developed combos that enable me to fight in both close and far ranges while still being able to keep my opponent at a distance. I use either of these two when I am in need of a serious win.

Well it's a good thing Tanya is at your disposal in MK2011 huh? wink

Just out of curiosity, which version of Tanya? I would assume not MKA since they fucked everyone up in that game. Me? I only liked her in MK4.

Mileena is my go-to character besides being my fav since MK2. She was the first one I learned when the game came out, and even if I have become quite good with some others (Rain, Ermac, Sheeva mostly) I always go back to her when I need to beat the sh*t out of someone online ;)

Raiden. I am not that good as a technical player, so his teleports get me out of many pesky situations.

Kung Lao.

His teleport is amazing and with 3 different attack options, can keep opponents guessing. He can zone and close distance with his dive kick. The guy has answers for pretty much everything. And of course his nice mix-ups. His spin is quite possibly the best anti-air as well.

Another character I'd have to say is Johnny Cage. His rushdown is great and I absolutely love his EX Shadow Kick. It closes distance, has armor, and is red. Perfect weapon against zoners. His nut punch can be used to reset pressure, which is incredibly useful.

You mean 4. The grab is the one i go for most, since it connects with heavies (Goro & Kintaro) and leaves distance to either jump or rush.

Forgot about that air grab. But that's because I never use it, unless I want to do a fancy combo which I'll end with that air grab. I use the overhead or the knock back mostly. The overhead works on low blocking opponents and the knockback does exactly what the air grab does, only with slightly better damage.

Jade. She's fast and has reach, plus some of her moves are tricky which I try to make use of as often as possible. :P

People don't expect someone to choose Jade, as she is considered low-tier, which can be used as a benefit. ^^

I've found that as well. I've fought some crazy good players who completely fell apart because they had no idea how to deal with Jade or Sindel.
