Mortal Kombat X: 10 Overpowered Characters Who Need Downgrading
4. Jax (Wrestler)
Jax is borderline broken. There, I said it - come at me, Jax lovers! There's arguably not a single other character on this list that's as infuriating to play against as Metal Arm Man. All three of this dude's variations can easily demolish your health bar in a matter of seconds (depending on the skill of your opponent), but Wrestler in particular has a unique attack that makes the character's rushdown game absurdly good; Energy Wave. This bloody annoying ball of purple energy - regardless of if it hits of gets blocked by your opponent - is your single biggest tool in getting in close and personal with Jax's fists of fury. If blocked, Jax can immediately rush in with Dash Punch and knock you on your arse. If it hits, well, say goodbye to your pretty little face. Jax's combos are not only easy to pull off, but they can be linked into some disgustingly powerful juggles that'll leave you at less than half health before you've even had a chance to move. The only viable option is to try your absolute hardest to stay out of a corner and bait your opponent into slipping up and fluffing one of their openers. Well that, or wait for NetherRealm to scale back the ridiculous damage Jax can inflict. It's okay to run away.
