Unstoppable Jason is a top-tier fighter in 'Mortal Kombat X'

Relentless, Slasher, and Unstoppable variations of Jason Voorhees in "Mortal Kombat X."

With how formidable Jason Voorhees is in the "Friday the 13th" franchise, it's not exactly difficult to imagine that he'd be a great fighter in Mortal Kombat X. But the Unstoppable variation takes it to a whole new level.

Each character in "MKX" has three variations that affect their appearance and abilities. Jason's variations are Relentless, Slasher, and Unstoppable.

As shown in the image above, Relentless Jason gains pursuit and lake mist; Slasher Jason gains bloodshed, machete toss, and psycho slash; and Unstoppable Jason gains punishment, rise, and resurrection.

While Sub-Zero is usually my favorite character to play as, Unstoppable Jason is a close second because, in addition to how difficult it is for others to attack and defend against his hulking figure in any of his variations, the Unstoppable variation's ability to resurrect for one last chance is a game changer.

Take for example the video above showing my gameplay against Sub-Zero using Unstoppable Jason. Sub-Zero would've won the round if not for Unstoppable Jason's ability to resurrect with up to 20% health.

This ability can be used three times per match, though it does spend a player's Super Meter, so there's an option to cancel the resurrection unless it's in the final round.

Between the advantages of Jason's usual abilities and his Unstoppable resurrection ability, Unstoppable Jason is the best of his three variations and one of the best fighters in the game. Not even Leatherface stands a chance in "MKX," as shown in the video of my gameplay below.

The mobile game version of Slasher Jason might surpass Unstoppable Jason since he can resurrect as well, but Unstoppable Jason is the better variation for console players.

That said, playstyle can impact how effective any character is in "Mortal Kombat," so it's really best to play it yourself to know for sure. After all, I'm mainly a button masher who relies on a few consistent moves. More skilled players might find different results.

Try it yourself. I just recorded these clips on my brother's Xbox Series X, so I assume "MKX" is still compatible with most current consoles.
