To be fair, I went through the roster in order of where they appear in the select screen, so the baraka havik and geras section was a bit of a coincidence. It was a hard choice of whether or not to list tried and true starting points, or have different kameos for the sake of it. But the latter would have been less backed up by what we actually see and more my own opinion.

I *WANT* to love shujinko, but ultimately he's just too weak. He should start fully charged, his side kameo attacks should better help extend combos, and this special kameos should be the cherry on top, not the core of the cake. There's too many variables based on who you opponent is for his special kameo's to be relied on, but if they were just 'extras' on an already solid (not top tier, but solidly usable) fundamental kameo, then a lot of people would pick him up.

if you play nitara, try kung lao. his hat makes her 1212 launching string +2 on block if you block-confirm, and she gets really good hard-to-block setups with low hat. not to mention that low hat can single-handedly out-zone the majority of the cast, he compliments her moveset perfectly.

I've been considering this a lot lately actually. I've been playing her with Stryker, mainly because Stryker hugely buffs her lackluster strings, and his grenades cover so much area, are mid, and are easy to visually combo off since her bite is so fast, but I think Lao might give her the same main bonuses with more potential. Low hat really is that cheap lol 😅

Nice to see some beginner Kameo recommendations for characters. My main issue is not only learning the timing of when to call in the Kameo during a combo, but its doing combos in general that I have to get used to. I've been playing alot of Skullgirls recently so jumping into MK after getting used to the more faster paced fighting of Skullgirls is tough for me but im slowly getting the hang of it. Currently learning Kenshi and Havik so knowing who's the best Kameo to start out with them is greatly appreciated!

I highly recommend stryker for shang tsung for similar reasons to pick shang, but you actually get use for all of strykers assists. Gives shang a good high option to suppliment all his lows, the restand spaces you out really well for his f3 or even a cheeky morph. His grenades also provide a great addition to your zoning AND an incredible oki option that is plus, blows up armor, and briefly hides your actions behind the grenade explosions. It's a fantastic match imo and stryker works with enough of the cast to justify morphing more frequently without having to use a kameo like sub/sareena/cyrax.

Kitana gets a lot with Goro. Sure, those reasons to choose Sub-Zero are valid, but it’s Goro who gives her more setplay, confirms off 112 for instance, can be used for pressure, and gives the overhead grab, which is great since Kitana doesn’t really have many overheads anyway.

Sindel is so interesting to me because imo more than any other character, she both benefits from and depends on a Kameo to define her playstyle. Like, if you mainly want to use her as a projectile zoner, or have the neutral, or use her mixups and plus frames, in my experience your choice of Kameo will pretty much make all the difference in terms of whether it’s viable, which is why it’s so interesting to me that she has the Kameo buffs/debuffs. (Very appropriate gameplay design for a monarch btw)

I use Goro for scorpion simply because you can combo from almost full screen off of Scorpions back 3 and it makes it so he actually has a low combo starter. Then his omelette toss is nice for starting air combos. And for Shao I use kung lao. Shaos back 1 is fast and can go into an overhead. Add lao low hat and you have a mix up off of a safe move. If you have fast enough reflexes you can combo into spin from his back 1. Lao gives shao an overhead low mix up options with insane recharge speed and gives a launcher on reads and hit comfirms. Can't find a kameo that helps with Shao's gameplay as much as lao. The teleport could be faster though.

Great list but I would add Motaro as a good kameo for Reptile. Even though he lowers health but the teleport turns acid spit into a full combo. You can also do an enhanced slow force ball from a distance and teleport behind the opponent and maintain pressure as the force ball is closing in from behind. Not the best pairing but adds combo potential and some pressure tools.

Hello Ketchup. Great video. I agree with most (I personally think Frost is a better pick for Kenshi, but I use Frost as my Kameo with Reiko so I may have some bias) Can you do a followup video on this from the Kameo perspective. Kind of like "say you want to play Sonya. Which Character utilizes Sonya the best." Or allows her to shine. I think that would be cool. I know some combos will be the same as this video. Darrius/Reiko for example. But I would find this perspective interesting. Might be great for those people who have a favorite character in the series who is Kameo only in this game.

The health adjustment aspect of the cameos makes for an easy way to normalize and buff them. Take the big four and make them all penalize your health to whatever degree is necessary. Take the weaker cameos and have them grand health buffs of different magnitudes. I bet you could roll out a patch just tinkering with that element of the cameos in a single day.

Hey, on the off chance you see this (or anyone who can help), could you clarify that Rain/Sub-Zero combo where you freeze the opponent after the aerial? I've been trying to do it for ages but it seems like by the time I can bring out Sub-Zero the opponent is already hitting the ground, and the freeze misses. Do you know what I might be doing wrong?

I would use ashra and goro. Goro allows ashra to combo off her grab, he makes her overhead plus and her launcher plus, he allows her to combo off almost every string she has, and she has some setups with his stomp

Reptile actually has a lot of awesome Kameo options. You got Sektor for Zoning, pace control, Invisibility setups and some combo options (that's the one I picked), you got Scorpion for Invis setups, mixups, combos and damage output, you got Frost also for Zoning, pace control and Invis setups, you got Motaro for combos and counter-Zoning, and you got Darrius for combos and mixups. I think Kung Lao might be a great option too now that I think about it, thanks to Low Hat. Reptile is such a versatile character, that there's no one definitive option for him.

Darius is a great Kameo for Havik for the same reason that he is a great Kameo for Reiko, getting more damage off that throw mix-up he uses with his back 2 2 string.

Its funny non of the kameos you mentioned I use for the characters I use. I use reiko/goro Sub/kano Geras/stryker and Li mei/frost. For me I just pick who I like and try to work it out which is more fun then just picking because tiers or something.

Ive been using Stryker Kameo with Rain and its very good in many ways, 43% midscreen 1BAR but rain doesn't have good range and his F2 has to much pushback for me to connect Stryker grenades + Water Beam Cancel into another F21 for high damage. He only has D3 (-13 on block), B4 (-7 but knocks them down) and then F2 13f mid but it only has half the range of most D4's. His F3 is very slow at 28 frames and can't be thrown out all the time. 211 has double highs at start that are stubby. Stryker does great in many areas but its mainly rains buttons that im struggling with. What Kameo do you think is best for Rain in competitive play that gives block pressure and extends combos off his best strings?

Seems like Sub-Zero, Scorpion and the Cyborgs do well entry level Kameos then. I also saw some Sub-Zero/Frost a fair bit. Hopefully Bi-Han will get bumped up a little bit.

I believe Reptile's best kameo is Scorpion, he not only keeps Reptile safe with his back kameo, he can also offer him combo potential and mix up options, with Reptile's back 313, you can instead do back 31 forward kameo into acid ball, and you can extend combos with Scorpion

I’ve seen a few players recommend Goro Kameo for Reptile. He allows for relatively easy combo extensions, like after Reptiles 114 (I think it’s 4?) Reptile is kind of in a tricky spot in this game, there was way more hype for him before the game dropped, but seeing him online is a rarity to me…He might be a sleeper character! For Kenshi, I think Sektor could also be a decent Kameo. I’ve not really used Sento stance too much, but with Kenshi being a good zoner in his own right, Sektor compliments this. Also Kenshi’s back throw followed by a properly timed Missile assist was a nice little setup I used online. Hey do you guys think we’ll get Human Sektor and Cyrax if they ever show up?
