SonicFox released their Mortal Kombat 1 tier list on Twitter, placing Sindel and eight other fighters among the strongest in the game. Kenshi appears in first place in tier S+, followed by Sindel, their new Mortal Kombat 1 main. The list continues with Johnny Cage, Raiden, Ashrah, Geras, Liu Kang, Reiko, and Shang Tsung. According to the long-time pro, these are the best Mortal Kombat 1 characters because they have the most broken movesets. Tier S goes with Kitana, Tanya, General Shao, Reptile, Smoke, Rain, Kung Lao, and Li Mei. Another fighter included in tier S by SonicFox is Omni-Man, a new addition to Mortal Kombat 1's roster. They explain that some reasons for Omni-Man's ranking are his good pressure and extremely strong meterless combos.

The list sparked a debate among fans, with most comments agreeing with SonicFox's choices.
