I said this on a different thread and wanted to make this one, so I did.

Anyways, post three of the characters from any game, not just Armageddon, and tell why you're so cheap in using them. I'll go first as an example. And it's not about cheapest character you've fought, I'm basically talking about the characters YOU PLAY to be cheap in Mortal Kombat.

NOTE: Created characters from Armageddon are not to be listed, as we all know they're cheap to begin with. Blaze and Onaga might be considered cheap, but because of their size and only 7 year olds use them because they cannot play MK right, don't list those two either.

1. Frost - She is very cheap in a good way if you know how to play her. In Armageddon, all you have to do is either use the Teleport Punch she has three times for a combo, or use that move twice and then perform the Slide move for another version of the combo. Not to mention she has the longest move in the game such as the Ground Freeze. Basically, that is very cheap if you know how to perform the move out of nowhere to fool the other guy. Her comboes in Deadly Alliance were powerful, though in Amrageddon, sadly to say that the long combo is out, but she still had powerful combos.

2. Raiden - Ooh, this guy is cheap when used in the right hands. I said this before, all you have to do in order to be cheap is to keep using his Teleport move after every move you made. Like this: TELEPORT, COMBO, TELEPORT, COMBO, TELEPORT, SPECIAL MOVE, TELEPORT, COMBO. He's a very good character to be cheap with if you're fighting against a person who either has no clue in playing MK or just annoys you and you want to annoy back.

3. Actually there's a tie between third. Sareena - The Knife Throw has to be the cheapest move ever to be given for a character. The projectile is so fast that you can basically throw five knives straight in a row. Timing is key with that move as well as her other moves. But because she has this very fast projectile, if you're fighting against a clueless opponent, they'll be all "What did you just throw at me?" and that will be the perfect time to come in with a killer combo.

And Hotaru - His Fireball projectile is the strangest move I've ever seen. Not because he aims it down straight at your feet, popping you up in the air, but it also sets a tone for either the Grasshopper, or a huge Air Combo. Deception I thought he was one of the best characters to play because he had the Fireball and the two fighting poses without including the weapon of course.

So that's it for me, what about you guys?

Nah, don't get me wrong, i'm skilled but I use these my favorite 3 cheap.




My #1) Moloch- c'mon. I can't really lose with this Beast on any mode in Armageddon.

#2) Liu Kang- My boy Kang slick, agile, and fast. In the older games my straight kick, usually forms that 6 hit combo.

#3) Goro- Ever since this beast became playable, consistently he became a good cheap brawler with me. I'm sure others used him to feel unbeatable at times too at the garbage computer AI.

my top 3 I play as are:
Kabal-basically spin dash then 6 or 7 hit combo....
Liu Kang-basically fly kick while holding LK if the opponent ducks just release to do the bicycle kick
Sub-Zero-althought I might not be cheap but friends and other players say I am when I play as him.. especially in mk3...

Well I'll be honest. I really try my hardest to put up a good fight without being cheap. But sometimes when facing a boss or online KAK It's nessecary to win. So yeah I suupose I have some characters to pick when I need to be cheap. I usually use them in a VS match as a last resort ONLY though. In no order here they are.

1 - Drahmin - I added him because mostly because of the Iron club, and the Ground Pound, Grab, and Proppeler Clock moves. Most of his specials launch your opponent into the air. And with the Iron Club you can usuallly get some nice damage in with a juggle ending in an uppercut. His Rising Uppercut is especially usefull for this.

2 - Ermac - Mostly because of the axe and Telekinetic moves. He has a couple popup combos and if you can get a couple Tele Slams and Air Kombat in the following juggle you can take almost half your opponents lifebar away. Sometimes there is even a glitch where you can just keep uppercutting and teleslamming your opponent untill you win. I suppose the same can be said for Kenshi. But I've always found it easier with Ermac.

3 - Mavado - Mavado is a great character to play as for me. His combos are easy to perform, his special moves are nicely rounded out, his Hookswords are great for bossfights, and a couple others. But the thing I like most about Mavado is his specials. One high attack, one low attack, one powerup, and 2 different kinds of evade. If you can master these and know exactly the time to excecute one you will find that Mavado is a vrey strong and if nessecary cheap character.

4 - Liu Kang - I am very good with Liu Kang. Mostly due to the Ju Fan style and specials. Liu is one of the faster characters. His combos are very helpful against bosses. 2 popups followed by a Bycicle Kick can be devestating if timed right. I also love the fact that he has both a High projectile and a low one. The best way to use this is with a grab, then followed by a Low Dragon Fireball, if you hit them just in time they will stumble for about 2 seconds and gives you enough time to perform a Flying kick or if you are closer to them a Bycicle Kick. His nunchaku are also great in kombat. Quick, but powerful at the same time. If you add them into your juggles and combos it'll work very nicely. Lotsa ways to be cheap with Liu

5 - Mokap - No actually I'm serious. Although ignored and heted by most of the MK fans Mokap is a GREAT character to play as in MKA. I'm betting most of them never tried him lol. And I'm not kidding one bit. His projectile is fast and it's pretty easy to catch your opponent off guard afterwards. You can then do a Magic Lift to get then closer and right before they hit the ground a Swan Kick. Much like Liu Kang his Jeet Kune Do is fast and powerful. And since their the same style you only have to master one of the characters to be good with the other. To this day I have never lost a match with either Liu Kang or Mokap. I rank them both as 2 of the Strongest Kombatants in MKA.

6 - Mileena - I find Mileena very usefull against most bosses and larger characters. When close it's easy to parry an opposing combo and return fire with a 3 hit Sai combo following with a Tleport Kck. Her sais have great combos and like I said when you add a Teleport Kick you can deal out some nice damage.

7 - Shang Tsung - Although it looks a bit silly the Snake fighting style has some good combos and style branches. His sword is quite handy against normal and boss type characters. Both of his 3D firballs are very helpful in Kombat as well. And then his Soul Steal is great because it partially restores his health, takes down some of the opponent's health, and doesn't take as long as a taunt as far as restoring health goes. Sometimes with a taunt you can only get halfway done before they hit you with something and end up with more damage than you had in the beginning.

8 - Havik - Although I was better with him in MKD when he had the Snake fighting style his MKA Tang Soo Do combos are effective. Especially the one that branches to a Morning Star uppercut. Mostly because you can follow up with 2 more hits with the Morning Star and before they get up to continue the fight there should be enough time for a head snap taunt. Also if you time it just right you can evade almost any high punch or kick with a Corpse Taunt, as well as restore your health a little. It won't work as much when you're up against a boss but It's very usefull when facing normal characters.

9 - Sub-Zero - Although I despise him sometimes I even choose him. I do actually like the Kori Blade but it isn't that helpful since it has no good combos. But anyways... what's not cheap about the guy? Nuff Said.

10 - Frost - I find her even better to play as than Sub-Zero. I don't care for her much either since the freeze move is incorperated but because of the speed of her ground freeze she can be even more of a pain than Sub-Zero. And her daggars don't make things easier.

11 - Sareena - Mostly because of the speed of her knife throw and other specials. If you can get 2 Hado Punch popup things in sequence and follow with a series of rapid knife throws Sareena can be a simply devestating character. Unfortunatly her Ba Shan Fan is not a good style for combos. And most of the hits are slow and don't deal much damage. Luckily her Demon Fang and special attacks make up or that.

12 - Baraka - Baraka is a biggy. He is so great of a character to play as! His Combos are easy to perform and do good damage. His Blades have amasing combos that can deal so much damage it's not even funny. His Specials are great and powerful, but quick and easy to do at the same time. I find it easiest to do a Chop Chop blades move and then a Blade popup. Then follow with his longest and most powerful Blades combo. (I forgot the name) It's hard to do at first but once you get used to it and master the technuique you will be almost unstoppable when playing as Baraka. And he is also in my list of strongest MKA characters.

There are more. But these are the main characters I turn to when I can't beat someone.

1. MKDA/MKA Cyrax - That one move where he opens up his chest and the grinder comes out. I just did that over and over and fucked up Blaze.

2. MKT Kintao - I just held block till Shao Kahn was done hitting and UPPER CUT! Repeat, and I beat MKT!

3. MK4 Everyone - Jump, Kick, Jump, Kick, over and over. MK4 can be beaten easily by just Jump, Kick.
