Mortal Kombat 11: Ranking Every Character From Worst To Best

22. Kano

Weirdly, for as much fun as the devs are clearly having fun making Kano into the worst piece of sh*t imaginable (a character mandate he's had from day one, but this is something else), gameplay-wise it doesn't translate into anything especially new.

Where his fatality has him glassing an opponent and dancing with their limp corpse as elegant string music plays in the background, you're still playing Kano in much the same way as before: A lot of eye-lasers, and a lot of cannonball-charge specials.

Contrast to the likes of Johnny Cage, whose latest edition is easily the best in the entire fiction, and Kano's moveset doesn't channel enough of that potential ridiculousness to make him stand out.
