[@dreadtrap973]

the best attack in mk 11 is in my mind cetrion's tornado or her earthquake but I would say you could use jacqui's bionic bounce or sub zero's slide as honorable mention

Mkx mileena's quick taste (ravenous variation) should receive an honorable mention because it deals a lot of damage, is easy to combo into, it's impossible to escape and it recovers a small amount of health.

Shao Kahn's taunts should have projectile invincibility.

[@Raviell87]

Or should either have better frames on startup and recovery, or have armor in general. But the armor would be also a bit unfair I think

[@watersheep5535]

They could just make it enhanceable and if you do it turns into a parry so it's a 50/50. You either try and get a free punish then get parried or you just let him get the debuff for free. It seems like an interesting mind game type thing that works a lot for Shao Kahn. Of course if you enhance they don't get the debuff. It should also be in his base kit but the parry be equipable. This would make the move be gimmicky but still usable.

[@donniedarko7579]

@@13thKingMu yeah, it's only a problem if the player doesn't abuse it. Often times you can make that read if you're low on health. More than likely it's the throw because they want to close you out. Every other time, it's wiser to eat the throw punish than the full combo. Still, it pisses me off sometimes to get opened up on something I consider so risky and fake. But I suppose those two needed something to make the viable. I wish NRS would be more creative rather than give throw strings to characters or 50 health buff.

[@hunteradams6783]

I was playing MK11 with my friend and had the Endoskeleton equipped, as soon as I died I was like “your going to enter a world of hurt” then he hit A once and I died. So I agree it’s the worst

[@murasakino101]

It's actually a pretty interesting mechanic too, especially since it's a reference to the movie but it sucks they didn't do it justice. Honestly, it could be a lot better if they added armor or made it similar to Jason's reanimation in mkx

[@kingol4801]

@@murasakino101 Endoskeleton HAS permanent armour. It is just that the health it gives you back is rubbish, and armour does not make you take less damage. I wish Terminator with that move would recover 80% of total health bar, and it would be a question of “can you AFFORD to end me, or will your health run out before then?”

[@YoshiCosmico]

Underdawg make a "the worst" video Shao Khan and Skarlet: Oh shit, here we go again.

[@propane_salesman]

For MK11, I'd definitely say that Hellport Cancel and Sub-Zero's slide are two of the best specials in the game.

[@donniedarko7579]

The slide especially since it can punish just about anything and has a nice fat KB. Kano's Bio Pull is an honorable mention in terms of punishing moves that have alot of pushback. Plus, it can start combos.

[@bluexuchiha]

Mileena’s “Vanish” special move, it decreases your defensive meter, her damage is nerfed, and you can still see where she is.

[@donniedarko7579]

Didn't know point two. That's lame. But yeah, the problem with Vanish moves are that I can't see where I'm at either. Better idea in theory, than in practice lol

[@GavishRaptor]

Plus it's so hard to do lol

[@donniedarko7579]

@@GavishRaptor does holding down block not help? It helps me on Nightwolf's U2 to recall his axe in the Moonfall move. Otherwise, he will likely jump when performed in isolation. In a combo string, it occurs much easier like with Vanish. Holding block also helps me with the DBF command grab input many characters have. Releasing it as I input the final 12 or 3 to finish the input.

[@murasakino101]

I was thinking it should have been on here too. When I first saw a mileena move set video, I saw vanish and was like "tf is this?" They could have just kept the move she had in mkx for her ethereal variation since that one can actually be used for mix ups plus she actually disappears. You can just see where her sai is to find her

Here’s my idea on how to buff Endoskeleton. On the final round, if you have already used fatal blow, return as the ending skeleton when at 30% hp. 50% less damage taken.

[@phoenixair11]

Another move that is great but also a hindrance is Jason's killing machine move(gives him armor but he cannot jump, also the power down stops him mid combo/mid attack)

[@Valentine-jo7ls]

they must have deadass gave up when making blood ritual like that couldn’t have been the actual intended purpose of that move

[@theorangelantern8771]

Actually, I learned it's best to use the taunts while the opponent can't react (for example, if they're up in the air I'll just activate the damage buff and go for the crushing blow). Sane with the dark priest.

[@salmaan6439]

What if NRS could let Skarlet dash cancel her blood ritual to extend combos just like Johnny Cage and Joker with their fatal blows ?

[@skarlet2000]

That would be amazing 😍😍

[@donniedarko7579]

That would make that a move everyone would use especially if it could chain into her 212 launcher. Hell, I'd even pick her up again because it wasn't all the easy to land that move. It would make her damage better than average I'd say. Example: 12, BR Cancel, 212, 212, etc...

[@skarlet2000]

@@donniedarko7579 mid starter would be good too ❤

[@Your_Memento_Mori]

As terrible as blood ritual is, there has been many times I have one matches using that move. I feel like the developers intended to make that move as an extension to many of her krushing blows that have DOT damage. It’s still a terrible move, but it still has it’s purpose (more or less)

[@Clonekiller66]

Shao Kahn not having Taunts would be like a crime. It's such an integral part to his character. He deserves them.

[@XerosenGFX]

For best attacks in MK9, I'd go with these: MK9 - Smoke's teleport (insanely fast), Kabal's Nomad Dash (cancels everywhere), Kung Lao's spin (good in a ton of situations), Sonya's Commando Stance (gave her insane, repeatable pressure). Honorable mention to both Jax's ground pound and Quan Chi's ground burst meter burn for both allowing some crazy infinite scenarios.

[@TherealRNOwwfpooh]

The thing is, Skarlet's Blood Ritual is supposed to damage her. Per her character storyline, Shao Khan no doubt purposely taught Skarlet blood magic, knowing that it would eventually kill her, similar to Rieko in the MKX komics when Havik convinced him to become a blood god just to kill him in order to rip Shinnok's amulet out of Reiko's body.

[@ChewTheMPKiller]

[@chrisll7069]

Shao Kahn's worst attack is upward hammer because it is a slow and super punishable blow, the taunt at least has a good damage which compensates for its long duration (which is viable by sending the enemy away or approaching with hammer jump) ask more buffs for the character would be too much because he is currently quite good but I would greatly appreciate the change of small details that make the community still reject him)

Bo Rai Cho's drink can be really good if you can time the drinks well. I've seen lots of combos where you can time the throw up to end at a specific time where you won't be vulnerable. But yeah overall it's pretty bad, unless you're essentially a pro or a almost perfect at the character.
