Mortal Kombat 11: Ranking Every Character From Worst To Best

5. Liu Kang

Essentially MK's "main character" (inasmuch as he won the first tournament), Liu Kang's MK 11 incarnation is the best yet, by a country mile.

Discarding the notion of locking his flaming fist combos or bicycle kicks to separate loadouts, here Kang is free to be the dragon we've always seen him as.

You can further modify him with additional nunchaku stances and counters - as well as another Shaolin Stance that'll goad unwitting players into attacking too early - but Liu's base moveset is powerful, stingingly fast and just plain fun to bust out.
