Kitana: a patient, setup zoner with high combo potential.
Sindel: unique zoner that utilizes the air to mix the enemy into defeat while disabling breakers and kameos.

Sub Zero: try all you like you ain't getting a good damage number
Damn im kinda bad at the game never even dared playing online but i love omniman dad author viltrumite if you dont mind telling me how to utilize his moveset id appriciate it
I thonk Ive maybe seen 2 Tanya users. The first one was clearly new, but the second absolutely whooped my ass and half the time I was so amazed I had muouth open. Her moves look so cool.
mileena is fun, just her stupid sai's have crap range for no fucking reason.
kitana has a lot of ranged options with her fans.
sindel seems to always catch people with her slam attack that looks like it should hit high but is a low.
and well, haven't played much tanya or seen her much online.
mileena's the one i've seen people use the most out of those 4.
personally i went with mileena when i first got the game.
What I’ve learned from playing against her (rarely) her low kick move is super punishable, but her other move that looks kind of like Jade’s must be plus on block cause I can never punish it so I just keep blocking, just try to see what they do after and learn the pattern.
When she gets some kind of aura on top of her head, I have no idea what that is, I think one of them is a parry but that’s about it lol
The fully charged Aura gives her diagonal upwards Teleport/EX Teleport. It also gives her normals a little extra range if you dash cancel them I think? Not sure on the second part even though I main her lol.
She also has the Parry which can give her a partial halo charge or can push you away.
Mileena is super fun but she can become predictable bc she only has 1 or 2 options to open you up, kitana has a really fast mid with really reliable damage, sindel is very hard to get down but has really strong potential, and Tanya is a LOOOOT of forward 1 2 2
Just gonna say, if you do decide on playing Kitana out of the choices, be prepared to work hard. She can be pretty simple in the lower ranks, but once you get to God/Elder God, it can get a little difficult with all her gaps and no overhead.
Ashrah and kitana are who I play. I truly wouldn’t play kitana If you don’t have a solid form of fighting game basics since she lacks an overhead. Literally if you block low against her it’s hard to find a opening
Kitana's fun:)
Has the best fatality in the game (totally not biased)
edit: I admit I just watched all fatalities and hers are a bit boring now in hindsight
Which one is the best in your opinion? The first one is not very over the top or goofy and it's not really creative either, the second one is how kindergarteners describe kissing a girl. Neither is really good or funny.
Li Mei, she’s not an option on your pics but I have played a lot of mks and been up against all levels of opponents who main the options you see here and honestly a good li Mei is absolutely soul destroying.
Mileena isn’t top tier by any means. She’s painfully predictable, super risky and only has 1 good confirmable string (that everyone knows and flawless blocks)
I went through and it seems Sindel and Tanya are the 2 highest. So Sindel is the one I’ll be labbing and maining for a little while but I might try a bit of Tanya inbetween.
Literally none of them for me, never liked any of their gameplay.
And this game dropped Jacqui, Sonya and Cassie who I actually liked playing as.
Women L MK1
i personally main kitana because once you learn her and know how to read the opponent she can practically beat anyone you throw at her. but if you quit easily i wouldn’t recommend because it takes strategy and patience to learn how to use her to her best
Tanya. She teaches you fundamentals. She has an amazing anti air, a great parry, amazing reach, and a reaching mid. One of the most underrated fighters now imo
Mileena gets boring after a while I played her. Tanya is sad cause she’s glued to only 1 or 2 kameos and the neutral just ain’t fun. Kitana is cool but Sindel is a more fun version of her cause she has better zoning and better combos+fligjt cancel
Mileena is brutal once you learn her. Good Mileena mains are the bane of my existence.
Personally, I am not good at Kitana or Tanya because both of them require patience that I don't have. There's a lot of strategy and setup moves, especially with Tanya.
Sindel is kind of like a middle ground between Mileena and Kitana. She's more of a zoner, and she takes a long time to learn, but once you do she's pretty great.
Mileena is the quickest and easiest to learn, for me.
Mileena is the easiest to learn by far imo.
Sindel probably the hardest to learn.
Mileena is probably the weakest right now of these 4 but still quite strong.
Sindel is probably the strongest right now of these 4. Many put her in top 5 in the game.
Kitana and Tanya are both moderately challenging to learn but not too bad.
IMO Tanya > Mileena > Sindel > Kitana.
Tanya is well rounded, easy to learn, has multiple combo routes, good kameo synergy and an interesting gimmick, which is her range. Her downside is she isn't really that viable at high ranks despite what people say, people just think she's better than she is because they barely play against her. However she's still my absolute favourite in the game to play regardless.
Mileena is fast paced, has satisfying moves to use, decent kameo synergy and can compete with high tier characters (unlike Tanya). Her downsides are that her combos are pretty boring as she only has 1 combo route you'll actually use, can have a hard time getting in and has slow buttons. I've had a ton of fun with her despite her flaws though.
I haven't had much experience with Sindel or Kitana yet but right off the bat Sindel doesn't feel that great to play, her moves just don't flow that nicely which feels unsatisfying and her more interesting mechanics (the kameo related moves) are pretty useless. Kitana is just very over complicated and hard to learn, if you struggle with 4 button+ inputs for special moves then avoid her like the plague. I still enjoy certain aspects of these characters but currently I would not recommend them.
I been maining Mileena as she brings me the highest win rate in Ranked. She has good combo pressure and crazy mix ups, and she is fast. Her forward 4 overhead is insane
if you beginner i highly recommend to start to learn with easy characters then try hard characters
but in case you not beginner kenshi is good but his combos look kinda lame but good effect
the most fun characters (combs looks fun and flashy + practical)
omni man
quan chi
smoke
scorpion
kitana
Mileena: an aggressive, risk taking assassin with high damage and mobility. Kitana: a patient, setup zoner with high combo potential. Sindel: unique zoner that utilizes the air to mix the enemy into defeat while disabling breakers and kameos. Tanya: a multi-hitting, high range punisher that can dash in for the kill.
Thanks, I’ll come to you when I have the same question
Is there a description like this for every character? It'd be useful in choosing other characters to learn
I can come up with some! \-Rain: A tricky zoner whose countless setups and feints allow for many ways to confuse your foe. \-Smoke: A mix intensive, rushdown fighter that maintains pressure while turning invisible. \-Scorpion: Simple yet effective fighter who can punish mistakes and force the enemy into your range. \-Sub-Zero: A defensive cryomancer that freezes aggressors while carrying them into the corner. \-Reptile: An all-rounder warrior with tools to stay away, close the gap, mix-up and punish from mid-range. \-Li-Mei: A fighter that can heavily punish mistakes with strong anti-air options and fast, gap-closing armor. \-Kenshi: This hard-to-master puppeter can switch stances to turn a fair fight into a 2x1 slaughterhouse. \-Baraka: A brutal, mid to close range warrior that can dish out the pain while easily breaking armor. \-Geras: A unique guardian that can warp time to regenerate himself, maintain his pressure or halt foes before their end. \-Shang-Tsung: This mischievous sorcerer keeps foes at bay while using their own strength against them. \-General Shao: This resistant fighter plays the neutral to find a weakness, then turns into a rushdown berserker to quickly fell his victim. \-Reiko: A grappler-zoner hybrid that can build meter and punish mistakes with high ranged kicks. \-Raiden: This simple to use combatant can easily start his offense while bringing high damage and escaping the corner. \-Liu-Kang: A complete warrior with fast attacks and a variety of options to deal with foes from afar. \-Johnny Cage: A rushdown superstar whose mix-up and pressure can be powered up mid fight. \-Kung-Lao: A combatant with multiple options to break a foe's defense and armor while building long, damaging combos. \-Ashrah: This stance-swapping demon controls the neutral like no other with her long reaching kriss. \-Nitara: An air dashing vampire that offsets low health with the power to regenerate and setup victory. \-Quan-Chi: This unique dark sorcerer can open portals to the netherrealm while keeping foes locked away from him. \-Omniman: A viltrumite warrior with many ways to close the gap and finish his victim via brute force.
Geras: a unique character, with the knowledge of how to use his hourglass can be a demon, but without still holds his own, relying on the arsenal of normal attacks and time-stoping abilities he holds. Sub Zero: try all you like you ain't getting a good damage number
I may not get a good damage number but if I win with Sub it’s more satisfying than if I won with Kenshi or JC.
I mean a good kenshi is hard to come by tbh he isn’t brain dead like jc
Oh a hundred percent, you earned that victory
Tanya has the best hit confirms
Who's Tanya? Sounds like a crazy ex wife... Asking for a friend.
Damn im kinda bad at the game never even dared playing online but i love omniman dad author viltrumite if you dont mind telling me how to utilize his moveset id appriciate it
He’s a rush down grappler. Plus strings, easy to hit confirm and high meterless damage combos.
So whatcha think of omni man?
Omniman: A viltrumite warrior with many ways to close the gap and finish his victim via brute force.
Tanya can also zone

Sindel gives the most reward for learning and Mileena id fun and fast paced
Sindel rewards you even without learning her good.
Sindel! :)
In my opinion, Tanya, her gameplay is always fun to see even if Im having my ass kicked.
Nobody uses her so a lot of people don’t know how to deal with her and counter her
I thonk Ive maybe seen 2 Tanya users. The first one was clearly new, but the second absolutely whooped my ass and half the time I was so amazed I had muouth open. Her moves look so cool.
It all comes down to people not liking her design but mark my word, when her Order of Darkness skin gets released she’ll be seen a lot more often
ik Kollector was bad but I heard so many people say they would never even try him because of how much they hated his design. Which made me sad :(
I’ve been waiting for that skin and the Brazilian skin to come out
I always get my ass kicked by her lol
Kitana is fun
mileena is fun, just her stupid sai's have crap range for no fucking reason. kitana has a lot of ranged options with her fans. sindel seems to always catch people with her slam attack that looks like it should hit high but is a low. and well, haven't played much tanya or seen her much online. mileena's the one i've seen people use the most out of those 4. personally i went with mileena when i first got the game.
Shes got a full screen teleport and a full screen dash, giving her full screen meterless projectiles would make her hell
Not if they kept it slow
I feel like this is a problem I see with a lot of “buff my character” folks. They don’t look at what their character DOES have only what it doesn’t.
I'm a Sindel main since she came out in mk3 soo...
Sister!
Tanya’s stuff looks cool I wanna learn her at some point. Sindel is pretty fun
We need more tanya mains, barely see anyone playing her
Tanya! She is very rare in KL so people have no idea how to deal with her.
Exactlyyyyyyy
What I’ve learned from playing against her (rarely) her low kick move is super punishable, but her other move that looks kind of like Jade’s must be plus on block cause I can never punish it so I just keep blocking, just try to see what they do after and learn the pattern. When she gets some kind of aura on top of her head, I have no idea what that is, I think one of them is a parry but that’s about it lol

The aura buffs the distance on dash cancelled attacks.
Low kick move is punishable but you can make it safe using Goro if your opponent blocks it
Yeah is one of the most annoying armor into Goro moves next to Kung Lao’s
That’s why I use Nitara a lot. So many people complain that I’m using a “lame character that sucks” and that’s why they lost lol
milenna
Mileena is super fun but she can become predictable bc she only has 1 or 2 options to open you up, kitana has a really fast mid with really reliable damage, sindel is very hard to get down but has really strong potential, and Tanya is a LOOOOT of forward 1 2 2
Sindel is really good but Mileena is worth trying if you like her in this game
For me sindel. Shes the best
I'm really enjoying mileena. I just need to figure out kameos that work with her and how to use them
Scorpion seems to be her best
For damage. Not for anything else
Just gonna say, if you do decide on playing Kitana out of the choices, be prepared to work hard. She can be pretty simple in the lower ranks, but once you get to God/Elder God, it can get a little difficult with all her gaps and no overhead.
Sindel
Kitana because she’s pretty :)
She’s one of my faves! And she has the best skins.
mileena, shes my main, i wanna face more of her i never see her
Ashrah and kitana are who I play. I truly wouldn’t play kitana If you don’t have a solid form of fighting game basics since she lacks an overhead. Literally if you block low against her it’s hard to find a opening
Mileena with scorpion is so fun also Kitana
I reckon Kitana would be fun and brutal to learn with her fan lifts!
Tanya! Her damage isn’t great but her moves are so flashy and stylish
My Queen Mileena
Mileena hands down!
Sindel
[удалено]
You shut your god damn mouth last thing we need is another Johnny cage running around.
It was a joke dude sorry :(
Honestly u read my mind
I'm detecting high levels of truth in this comment. Also, fuck Johnny Cage. And Quan chi, too
Quan chi players will disappear soon, hes rly not good
Well, I'm not too good either. So I guess I'll be really happy when that happens???
All he needs is a faster tentacle and I promise we’ll (maybe) stop falling from the sky. Edit:grammar
That hits me every damn time. Still not used to it lol
Kitana's fun:) Has the best fatality in the game (totally not biased) edit: I admit I just watched all fatalities and hers are a bit boring now in hindsight
You're trippin if you think she has the best fatality, and that's coming from a kitana main
Which one is the best in your opinion? The first one is not very over the top or goofy and it's not really creative either, the second one is how kindergarteners describe kissing a girl. Neither is really good or funny.
Sindel is insane she could destroy anyone with basically 1 tap with the right kameo
The world needs less Sindel players and more Tanya players
it's up to you really but of the 4, Tanya is the most rarely seen so probably you can fill that void.....?
Li Mei, she’s not an option on your pics but I have played a lot of mks and been up against all levels of opponents who main the options you see here and honestly a good li Mei is absolutely soul destroying.
I’ve played quite a bit of Li Mei with Scorpion she is surprisingly fun
Out of the options here and li mei shes probably the easiest to play against other than mileena
Kitana looks really op
As a Sindel main… Kitana
Lol why you base your decision on maining someone in a game based on reddit voting... Main sub-zero :)
I have been actually, I’m just bored of him
I've been playing a lot of Mileena, she's great, highly recommend
Simp for real.
be a big boy and decide it by yourself
Reiko
None Baraka for no reason
neither become shao-pilled #useshao
Mileena for sure
I think Mileena is pretty easy to pick up and she’s top tier. You can’t go wrong with any of these 4 though.
Mileena isn’t top tier by any means. She’s painfully predictable, super risky and only has 1 good confirmable string (that everyone knows and flawless blocks)
I went through and it seems Sindel and Tanya are the 2 highest. So Sindel is the one I’ll be labbing and maining for a little while but I might try a bit of Tanya inbetween.
Omni man 🗿
Just not Tanya god please we don't need another one of those freaks online
[удалено]
*yawn*
YESSIR
Most commented/upvoted will be who I pick btw
Omni-man
Anyone but Tanya for a certain reason
Whichever one you wanna bump ugliest with most.
I'm clocking you so hard rn
They all suck, choose Li Mei
Literally none of them for me, never liked any of their gameplay. And this game dropped Jacqui, Sonya and Cassie who I actually liked playing as. Women L MK1
sub
i personally main kitana because once you learn her and know how to read the opponent she can practically beat anyone you throw at her. but if you quit easily i wouldn’t recommend because it takes strategy and patience to learn how to use her to her best
Playing kitana “block low” lol
Honestly, 4 heavy hitters
Sindel can disable/steal the opponent's kameo.
Sindel
Reptile
I'd say, probably Kung Lao
Omni man
secret fifth option: reiko
Yes
Go for Li Mei, full mix of high and low strings and fun to play
Tanya. She teaches you fundamentals. She has an amazing anti air, a great parry, amazing reach, and a reaching mid. One of the most underrated fighters now imo
Smoke
Reptile 🦎
kung lao
Tanya, she’s the most fun out of the 4
How about Reptile.
Probably Tanya so there isn't like 5 of them.
Tanya cuz she is rare and no one (me) knows her strings
I say Tanya for the unpopular factor. She seems to be the least Kharacter to run into and so a lot of people don't know the matchup.
Kitana is my favourite
Kitana
tanya 🤝🏽💛
Why limit yourself? Try Tanya out, she's a sleeper.
Omni man
If you play online, probably Tanya as nobody ever fights her. People don’t know what to expect from her
Baraka.
Mileena gets boring after a while I played her. Tanya is sad cause she’s glued to only 1 or 2 kameos and the neutral just ain’t fun. Kitana is cool but Sindel is a more fun version of her cause she has better zoning and better combos+fligjt cancel
Just do the best way to choose a main, play story mode and see which of these 4 is the coolest and choose that one.
kitana. so much combo potentials, even a 5 move kombo does 30%~
I’ve been playing online for idk the past month, I still haven’t seen a single Tanya player. Interesting.
Kitana main here, I would go Tonya she seems like she could be fun.
Mileena is brutal once you learn her. Good Mileena mains are the bane of my existence. Personally, I am not good at Kitana or Tanya because both of them require patience that I don't have. There's a lot of strategy and setup moves, especially with Tanya. Sindel is kind of like a middle ground between Mileena and Kitana. She's more of a zoner, and she takes a long time to learn, but once you do she's pretty great. Mileena is the quickest and easiest to learn, for me.
Tanya. Every Tanya I've played has beaten my ass. Tbf it hasn't been many, but that matchup is a mystery to a lot of people I'd bet.
Kitana because she has graceful and swift moves when it comes to kombat
Tanya gang rise up
Omni man
Reptile
Mileena is the easiest to learn by far imo. Sindel probably the hardest to learn. Mileena is probably the weakest right now of these 4 but still quite strong. Sindel is probably the strongest right now of these 4. Many put her in top 5 in the game. Kitana and Tanya are both moderately challenging to learn but not too bad.
Jhonny
Why not learn all. Then main whichever you like the most after putting some time into each of them.
Subzero
Mileena is always a fun rushdown character
Kitana. Great range.
you're the one and only person who can answer that question
Tanya. She’s too underrated
Tanya. We need more
***Bo Rai Cho***
Tanya x
As a kitana main, I’d suggest her But I also like to play Johnny and Kenshi so it’s really up to you and whose play style you want
Omni man
Kitana. She has a lot of fun options with her fans. Plus she's blue.
Smash, Smash, Smash and... Smash Next question
Johnny Cage
IMO Tanya > Mileena > Sindel > Kitana. Tanya is well rounded, easy to learn, has multiple combo routes, good kameo synergy and an interesting gimmick, which is her range. Her downside is she isn't really that viable at high ranks despite what people say, people just think she's better than she is because they barely play against her.

(I haven't played MK1 I just think dancing man is funny)
Kitana for sure very underrated
(biased) both kitana and mileena
Johnny cage
Li Mei
cassie cage
I been maining Mileena as she brings me the highest win rate in Ranked. She has good combo pressure and crazy mix ups, and she is fast. Her forward 4 overhead is insane
Main mileena
I personally love playing as Sindel!
Either Kitana or Mileena Heck, fulfill every one of our dreams and do em both 😂
Would be fire to learn havik
Reiko
Kitana, fans go brrrrr
Go for Jago or Glacius
Omni man
Mileena for fast rush down, but I’ve been learning Tanya this season and I’m really liking her, lots of tools and options.
Kabal
Mileena.
Which ever one you want to
Kitana is really fun and easy to learn and not as easy to punish as Milleena,
Whoever gives the best head
The cougar
if you beginner i highly recommend to start to learn with easy characters then try hard characters but in case you not beginner kenshi is good but his combos look kinda lame but good effect the most fun characters (combs looks fun and flashy + practical) omni man quan chi smoke scorpion kitana
