I was playing KOTH the other day and while I was winning and fighting different players in a row, I realised sth. I knew what moves each person would use against me even before the match started!
At first I found it funny coz someone picked Reptile and I said to myself "Oookay here we go: dash, block, acid bomb-combo-acid bomb-combo, dash-wake up, repeat." And that's exactly what happened! Reptile to me is one of the hardest characters online coz he is way too fast and his moves are very easy to spam but the weird thing is that EVERY Reptile I've encountered uses the same strategy!
Then someone picked Raiden so this time it was "teleport-combo-torpedo, teleport, teleport, torpedo, teleport, torpedo, teleport-combo-torpedo etc".
This generally happens very often so I've found some ways to punish characters who spam but it still is very annoying that people never try to mix it up and I sometimes end up loosing to a noob -.-'
So what about everyone else? Are there certain moves people use with certain characters against you and if so, how do you counter??

Smoke players: Teleport punch, Smoke Bomb, Air Throw repeat. Luckily they're easy enough to counter

Teleport Punch: Block, then uppercut Smoke Bomb: Crouch Block

this is why i insist that players need to learn all characters...i have made people rage quit when i use say baraka,sheeva or jax and beat their lame sames as scorpion or the ones you mentioned, my advice is pick a character who no one picks, get good with him and you will see positive results in your favor, it works for me.

Smoke bomb can be blocked high as well so "smarter" Smoke players dont use it randomly. Also with Smoke it's always that low kick-high punch combo x3, teleport, smoke bomb when you're about to get up and then that combo again

Exactly! I've learned Scorpion, Smoke, Raiden, Sub Zero, Ermac's tactics even though I never use them just coz everyone picks them online! But I main Mileena, Jade, Quan Chi who I rarely see get picked online, which is good coz ppl aren't familiar with their moves ;) Ha!

I've barely ever seen a good Smoke player. All i've seen were spamming scrubs(Only seen ONE good Smoke player and that's it)

Lui Kang's punch kick combo over and over, if your corned then it takes 3 quarters of health a lot of the time.

That's why you should avoid getting close to the corners when you're battling against Liu Kang, Johnny Cage and Kung Lao! You're doomed...

Johnny Cage players are annoying(some are really good, some are scrubby as fuck)

Lol they seem to do it on purpose, I'll be on the offensive and they back up then jump over and do it, I fall for it a lot because I'm focusing on the attack so end up oblivious to the positioning.

Well I usually pick Mileena against Cages, Kung Laos and Liu Kangs. They always try to corner you so I do it myself on purpose. I jump back and they jump towards me...so right when I am near the corner and they are in the air, I teleport kick, sai throw in the air, ground roll right when they are about to fall (Mileena lands quicker after an air sai throw) and then THEY are cornered. Oops! :P

Well I'll keep that in mind. See what I can do, thanks for the advice.

Surprisingly, people have been getting better.

I think all the people that got sweeped across the floor have given up.

I'm on the Xbox and I haven't played a low-level player in a while.

Thats part of the reason that i had wanted to get good with a character like nightwolf, since people very rarely use him, so most dont know how to really fight him. Helped me FINALLY get that 10 KOTH match win in a row trophy today, and that 1000 respect points trophy. The problem i normally face is that while i am good with NW, he definitely has his limits, and in the past, trying to get that trophy just ended with me either facing a player eons better than me, or somebody who used a predictable, yet difficult to counter strategy. Tis the only times that i wish Nightwolf was a teleporter.

But that aside, i have seen a lot more Sindels, Sheevas, and Jaxes online recently. Still quite a lot of Scorpions and Smokes (and a definite spike of Kung Laos, all playing the same), but diversity is definitely on the rise..
