What does Sonya have going for her that makes her good?

I was interested in her since MK Deadly Alliance and Deception when she was my favourite at the time before switching to Kitana.

alot fergus..alot, much like kenshi shes been slept on for too long and people are now excepting just how good she is

much like kabal and skarlet,she needs on point execution to get most out of her
she has so many tools though....
comboable dive kick that leads to 35%resets
armored safe launcher
HER MOTHER****ING STANCE!!! MS mixups are insane
great projectile
a safe jump
fast normals (great for AA also,stupid good uppercut aswell)
mileena's down4 (which she can cancel into military stance mixups)

she is crazy good,nutrient messes with her everY now and then but id love to have a really good sonya main here in ireland to play against, shes insane.
I tried to convince razer to play her cause he can do alls kabals crazy **** bur he went with skarlet instead

I may try Sonya when I pick up the game again

yea as jun said,online mk isnt very good at all, ya can get away with so much BS cause of the lag.

where ya living? ya should try get down to the xgc for casuals and also the tournies run up dublin way

ah i like to see baraka number 1 on that list
hes bottom of most tier lists because near all his Matchups are disadvantage, this isnt people gettin it wrong either,he is pretty bad while compared to the rest of the cast,def worst char out of the four u mentioned there BUT in the corner is where he shines,alot of the cast cant combo punish a max range blade charge which handy ut he has to depend on that move alot while using the proper spacing, hes a real footsies char

sektor is pretty beast,zoning,anti-zoning,fast normals,great anti airs,very good damage. very solid char whose only real weakness is no armor outside xray

cage is top tier no doubt,crazy frametraps,awesome normals,nut punch resets and game changing xray

subzero is a solid mid tier char,all about playing lame and hiding behind the ice clone looking to get those ice ball trades,he doesnt have the greatest damage though

also on the plus side,some one in the kommunity already plays with each off those chars so there'll be plenty of tips thrown your way depending on you ya pick up

And there I was hoping that old Gum decease was just underrated.

As I am only really getting started I will concentrate on Cage and Sektor for a bit. I think in this game you need more then one main (I have most trouble with Cyrax and Mileena)

Ordering my converter this week and as soon as it arrives I will get the train in for a few games.

I am not the best at the moment but the only way to get better is to play good players.

i main him,but thats more me being stupid because i played him since mk2

cage and sektor both decent people to deal with cyrax.
mileena has slight adv over sektor but cage rapes mileena hard

very true man,ya only get better by playing. go to testyourmight.com if u havnt aswell, great info there

Ahoy-hoy! Pesara on PSN. Fergus dragged me along to casuals once. I played some games with people, yet I cannot remember anyone's names, and only advice about my Mileena.
I play Sonya, Jade (it's... painful sometimes ), Kitana, Mileena, and the theme breaker - Stryker. Feel free to add me if you wish to have a moving punching bag!

You haven't shown up as a request. Did you misspell it, or reconsider or various other options?

Well I broke not one, or two, but three XBox 360 Controllers all in the space of two weeks. So I've been out of MK action for what seems like eternity. I've two PS2 controllers up in the attic, might buy one of those adapters unless there's a decent fightpad anyone could recommend cause I'm useless with an arcade stick.

I've heard these are good?

three controllers? someone must of ran into alot of cages online :rolleyes:

nutrient would be the man to ask bout converters, he gave his stamp of approval on one a few posts back, gettin used to ps played could be a good idea seeing as mk normally played on ps at tournies

fightpad? i know my bro is selling a guilie madcatz one he won in a tourny on adverts.ie

K.O.Kiki

eTokki converters are the best, but you need one per system (i.e. 1 each for PS3 & 360).

NoobSaibot5

So would I need to get one for the Xbox and one for the PS2? Works out a bit pricey if that's the case

1man3letters

anyone catch Toryuken?

was a jade in top 8,

reo got flawlessed by a 15year old smoke doing the ex smoke bombs resets and only missing one through the whole tourny, and doing the shake glitch,twice! the dirty little sod!

insup was also dirtying up the place with filthy quan trap comebacks outta no were

only bad thing were the people on the mic, very VERY annoying and just sucked the hype outta everything bar the reo vs xsmokex match

That seemed to be a problem with every game, everyone there must have been knackered.

i only caught a bit of kof besides mk,
and i was too interested in watching than listening to the commentary.

My excuse for dodgy Evo commentary was that I had Batman voice :pac:
I didn't even realise there was a big tournament on last night. I always seem to find out about these a little too late.
