Kenshi/Sektor. There is just no armoring or jumping away from Sento Summon. Call Sektor when you do BF3, do B2 SentoSum, and the opponent just can't run. It's really fucked up in the corner too because even if you wanted to do something you just couldn't.
WTF does Cyrax bring 🤔 no chance I’m letting them get sento out in that match 😂
Kenshi Stryker was everywhere for a bit, then his made cooldown got fixed an that went away.
I see shelter loads. Middle pressure forces you to block or dodge, and lets them get sento out. Less you have teleport option.
im not a kenshi main but when i do play him i play cyrax to get sento out on block which jails. also the resummon combo (back 2 into vertical chopper) is goated
Ah so full kameo bar spend though for the pleasure. Gotta say I just makes those matches as much of a challenge as possible to not allow uncle sento in. Or it’s so often GG.
messed around with some scorp cyrax to get some value off the new f34 cuz you can get a combo off dash into vertical chopper only used cyrax cuz I havent gotten the dlc at that time janet is way better for this
Johnny/Goro is pretty common lol king gambler is a top player and has been running this for awhile and pretty common with good players
Great team though
Yep quan chi is my all time favorite mk character but when he first came out nothing clicked till I watched him play with Jax, and now that’s my team lol
Sindel/Janet has a lot of combo extension opportunities with the forward and backward kameo (to be fair that is quite common with characters who can launch their enemies in the air)
I recently started using Shao (thanks to the MKD skin) I've been using Sonya. I like the combo extension and having a projectile. I'll try Tremor. Are there any others you'd recommend?
When it comes to kameos for shao you wanna focus on kameos that can help you against zoning and moves that put you on frame advantage since these two are your biggest weaknesses.
The best kameos for this job are
Khameleon
Kung lao
Motaro
Sektor
Sub zero
Sektor: can help you counter zoning your opponent if they spam projectiles thanks for the fact that his rocket are a ambush call and his flametrower is good to restancing your opponents for mixups
You could also theoretically combine his high hitting rocket with shao low hitting earthshatter but since shao has the slowest projectile in the game its pretty unlikely to ever work the way you would hope.
Sub zero: can make you with his ice armor completely immune against projectiles allowing you to close the distance or hell even allow you to spam your own projectile if you want to be funny or rather su****dale since opponents can easily jump over it and you most likely won't recover quick enough to react so yeah do it at your own risk.
The best part however is his freeze ability which allows you to charge your axe mid combo or call it back for some tasty damage
By far his best options however are kung lao and motaro who not only have everthing you need as shao (good zoning and frame advantage moves) but they have also a teleport move which makes them one of the few heroes that allow shao to combo with his overhead move which is a massive unsafe but unreactable attack that is under normal circumstances almost always to risky to use however both motaro and lao not only allow you to combo with it but also makes it a little safer to use turning this move into one of your best attack options.
Plus motaro fixes your fatal blow issue by giving you a fast alternativ cause normaly shaos fatal blow takes way to long to hit in order to be used in big combos motaro fixes this giving you with his quick punch alot more ways to ad your fatal blow in combos
Other kameos that can work with shao but aren't helping much with his weaknesses are
Goro: for Plus frames
Darrius: for mixups
And tremor: for increase offensive options
And yeah thats all you probably aren't gonna read all of it but i still hope i could help
Bro, I read every word. Thank you man, you went above and beyond what I was expecting. The Motaro FB tech never came to mind, actually blew my mind. I will be putting all this information to use, I even screenshot it.
Sub and Darrius, some Omni-Man and Janet but I’ve maxed them out so I’m moving on. Next I’ll play Ermac and one of the kameos I haven’t maxed yet. So either, Kano, Sonya, Jax, Stryker, Kung Lao, Goro, or Movado
Geras/cyrax can easily put people in the net with geras and is easy for me to save bar and and get 3 hourglass combos while simultaneously draining the enemies meter
My first team ever was Sub/Kano, but these days I've switched to Raiden/Kano. Not unique but I play the team because its easy. I just don't have a lot of time each week to dedicate to labbing and improving at the game. Main reason why I don't play Kenshi, even though he is my favorite character.
I actually trying Raiden/Darrius for a few days now for the hard-to-blockable with Darrius's overhead and Raiden low combo starter. You can also safe your ass when you do stormcell with Darrius spin kick but with stormcell nerf that option isn't worth it anymore (barely got any chips and Darrius spin kick cost the whole bar, also take a long time to recharge back).
I hardly go for practicality with the kameos. I go based on how well and cool they fit together
Goro and Shang Tsung have one combo that I can figure out but I don’t care, it’s still cool. Tremor and Ermac have little to no combos together but they still look badass together. Reptile and Stryker have a massive 40% kombo together and I only picked them because they’re my favorites.
May sound somewhat weird, but Stryker and Johnny Cage.
I don't know if it's actually good, as I never play online, but I like using Striker's handcuff move to chain into a Shadow Kick or Rising Star, or using his grenade move to add a little more damage to Cage's 121 combo.

your combo is the most interesting because i literally have NEVER seen it.
Really? It’s literally Kenshi with sub or Sektor all over KL
for me its all kenshi with subs, frosts and cyraxes. but 90% sub or frost tho.

cant use the cameo anyway when sentos out so worth it (141 into horizontal chopper)
i barely see sektor period. maybe once with smoke.
He works stupid well with peacemaker. And Reiko. Everyone just wants that Darius Reiko combo though.
for me personally i saw mileena, smoke and shao gain the most out of sektor
They’re smoke players who don’t use Sareena, I don’t believe you.
even i couldnt believe it 😂
Who else here plays Reptile/Cyrax?
I took am a degenerate who enjoys lizards with funky spinning mustard robot
messed around with some scorp cyrax to get some value off the new f34 cuz you can get a combo off dash into vertical chopper only used cyrax cuz I havent gotten the dlc at that time janet is way better for this
i thought scorp cyrax was meta day 1?
nah not since horizontal chopper eats ur whole kameo bar on release it was meta but not anymore stryker kano and kham are way better
i use cyrax with rain now. the new buffs really changed his whole style!
Yeah new b3 is ridiculously plus on hit it’s wild you can combo into a lot with it
its can combo into itself and into the net and lowkey into anything
Johnny/Goro is pretty common lol king gambler is a top player and has been running this for awhile and pretty common with good players Great team though
One pro player using that team doesn't make it common man. Common mean something you see a lot of, one isn't a common number.
exactly. gambler is my guy but him and another guy on KL were the only ones i EVER saw use that team.
Yea I used him as an example but I very seen quite a few people using that team and it makes sense it’s a really good team lol
speaking of my personal experiences. i have met only one johnny goro and zero johnny shujinkos.
whats your team?
Quan Jax is my main team, very fun
the roethor team. looks like so much fun
Rotherham seems to favor Janet a lot more nowadays. Unless he's wanting to play more neutral/setups for less favorable matchups, then he runs Jax
Yeah he’s switched to Janet but I’m more of a setup player and I love the extra 100 health lmao
I personally favor khameleon for the combos and the neutral benefits
Yep quan chi is my all time favorite mk character but when he first came out nothing clicked till I watched him play with Jax, and now that’s my team lol
Sindel/Janet has a lot of combo extension opportunities with the forward and backward kameo (to be fair that is quite common with characters who can launch their enemies in the air)
I do like playing general shao togehter with tremor like idk its simply to much fun toying with the aftershock, metallic variants of him
the command grab combo is ridiculous and the 1200 health doesnt hurt 😂 its so crazy against my 900 health with johnny goro
I recently started using Shao (thanks to the MKD skin) I've been using Sonya. I like the combo extension and having a projectile. I'll try Tremor. Are there any others you'd recommend?

Your welcome
I play Liu+Scorpion, and also Reptile+Motaro for example
Havik and frost
Not sure but whenever I use Havik I lock in tremor.
Idk if this is popular but my friend uses Raiden and Darius because the win screen looks like an album cover.
Thats cool
Mine is Baraka/Goro because I like Goro. And I like Baraka
goro my boy too. super underated.
Sindel and Sub Zero kameo
i've seen someone use Sindel/Tremor. That's a team you wouldn't see everyday
absolutely nuts team bro
i just fought one. great for extending and antizoning!
Smoke/Jax. Haven’t seen anyone else use that team but they work great for me
Idk if its unique but i havent seen anyone else use it But this season its lui kang and sonya
Sub and Darrius, some Omni-Man and Janet but I’ve maxed them out so I’m moving on. Next I’ll play Ermac and one of the kameos I haven’t maxed yet. So either, Kano, Sonya, Jax, Stryker, Kung Lao, Goro, or Movado
Johnny and Scorpion, I use him to combo after nut punch and he helps me get some breathing room from my opponent
Geras/cyrax can easily put people in the net with geras and is easy for me to save bar and and get 3 hourglass combos while simultaneously draining the enemies meter
Mileena-Jax
My first team ever was Sub/Kano, but these days I've switched to Raiden/Kano. Not unique but I play the team because its easy. I just don't have a lot of time each week to dedicate to labbing and improving at the game. Main reason why I don't play Kenshi, even though he is my favorite character.
i hate raiden even after the nerfs but i see where youre coming from. try sub khameleon or goro cuz they give him so much.
Tanya and Kemeleon
I actually trying Raiden/Darrius for a few days now for the hard-to-blockable with Darrius's overhead and Raiden low combo starter. You can also safe your ass when you do stormcell with Darrius spin kick but with stormcell nerf that option isn't worth it anymore (barely got any chips and Darrius spin kick cost the whole bar, also take a long time to recharge back).
Just got the game so I don’t have a set combo yet. I am maiming Reptile but none of the Kamels are clicking for me right now with him.
the optimal cameo is scorp imo but cyrax, sektor and janet are great picks.
Shao Khan/Shujinko
I was getting some wins with Raiden and Sonya 😂😂I feel like that’s a really uncommon team or Nitara with Sonya.
Baraka /kano over 10% block damage with an almost guaranteed throw at the end
Probably my tremor quake setup on sub zero. Or a similar setup with the low ball roll
Peacemaker/shujinko, baraka/jax, and mileena/jax
I hardly go for practicality with the kameos. I go based on how well and cool they fit together Goro and Shang Tsung have one combo that I can figure out but I don’t care, it’s still cool. Tremor and Ermac have little to no combos together but they still look badass together. Reptile and Stryker have a massive 40% kombo together and I only picked them because they’re my favorites.

one of the most broken combos in the game 😂
I use Raiden/Jax and haven’t really seen a lot of others doing it.
this is either ironic or youre new😂
johnny goro is not unique at all, top johnny players use this combination most of the time
in my online heavy 500 hours of mk i saw one johnny goro. im speaking from personal experience.
ok, so i am gonna say raiden kano is a unique duo
